Kobe is a place, but Kobe beef refers to a strain of Waygu beef. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kobe_beef

Okay, I'm no expert but I know a prime steak when I taste one. I'll do my best to inform you the best I can: The USDA grades beef into three different catergories: Select, Choice, and Prime Select has the least amount of marbling (read fat) and is therefore the leanest of the three and is very...

It's a good thing you're not petty. Did it occur to you that it's possible the Costco's in my area carry prime meat even though yours may not? Thanks for your contributions.

I have been buying the prime beef from Costco for awhile now and I'll pass on a word of caution: When the meat is good it's great and as good or even better than you can get in any restaurant, but they like to stick one $hit steak in the package that is tough and gristly. We have another grocery...

One of my beloved JBL LSR2325 monitors went haywire this week. They recently went out of warranty as the other monitor had the same issue late last year and I had it repaired just before the warranty expired. Anyways, this gives me a chance to try something different.

I'm not MR.MAGOO, but I do own these ear buds and the HP-2 cans. These ear buds are pretty awesome and have held up well since I got them when they were first released. The only issue I have had so far is the Comply isolation tips ripped, but that is to be expected over time. I wear them when I...

Happy music sucks!

I'm most excited about all the great sounding budget speakers out there. While not necessarily new technology per se, people like Dennis Murphy and Andrew Jones are making fantastic sounding speakers for relatively inexpensive prices.

Listening through my JBL's at work I got 3 out of 6 correct and the 3 I got wrong were all the 320kps MP3's. I can definitely tell the compressed MP3 from the other 2 files, but depending on the music, the WAV and 320kps MP3 are pretty similar to my ears. I found the same to be true listening at...

I rented the Blu-ray from Redbox and had no idea the intro was there prior to watching the movie the first time. I had the volume at reference level and my subs handled it fine, but it did a great job of startling the crap out of me. More impressive than Cloverfield IMO. I was so impressed I...

I got my Palin burl from http://www.veneersupplies.com/ and had no problems. They also have tons of good info on veneering at http://www.joewoodworker.com/ which is run by the same guys.

If you don't mind answering I would be curious as to why given the chance you would do it all over again? What is/was the upside?

I ordered a pair of 55 and 60 lb CAP dumbbells from Amazon last Sunday and 3 of the 4 dumbbells arrived on Wednesday as scheduled, but one of the 55 lb 'bells didn't show up until this morning. I heard a clank on my doorstep and then a doorbell ring at 8:30am like "F**k your heavy ass package"...

I have the older version 2325 in my office at work and I love them. They unfortunately don't get a chance to exercise their legs, but they're still great even at low volumes. This new set will be used at home and I went with the 308 hoping to negate the feeling of needing a sub.

A tip of the cap to zieglj01 for the Sweetwater deal on the LSR's

Well I've made a little more progress. I made some test pieces using the various dyes I had to get an idea of what direction to proceed: The left piece is Red Mahogany, the middle piece is Bright Red and the right piece is Burgundy. I actually liked the Burgundy color the best but knew that...

I have dual PB12+'s and it can be downright startling what these things can do in my room (think trainwreck in Super 8 or Cloverfield). I also used to own a SB12NSD that I used with my computer setup and I regret get rid of it. I persuaded my brother to get the PB-1000 for his house and I...

To answer the OP's question directly, this kit I believe uses that Seas driver: Tanzanite.
