Horrible Acoustics to just bad...

[Davemcc]

About a year ago I bought two cases of tequila at a tasting and try to save the good stuff for nursing.

Please tell me you are not suckling your children with Tequila on your manboobs.

Tequila on your manboobs.

Not that there's anything wrong with that??

In this case, I'm...not...so...sure?

 

[Rickster71]

I only do shots now and then and for that I'm usually okay with 1800 or any of the better Suaza's

Hi Chris, have you ever tried Partida tequila? I've been sipping the anejo lately.

That's just so gross. I almost blew chunks. The words suckling just triggers my gag reflex. Oh that's just nasty. It's way to early... NURSE!!!!!!!

I haven't, but I'll put it on my list. The bottle that I've been cuddling lately is Los Danzantes Reposado. For me, sometimes the anejo's are a bit too peppery. This reposado is extremely smooth and almost has a hint of sweetness to it... kiinda like it's got all the best part of anejo.

I'll definately save the one you mentioned however and give it a try the next liquor run. Thanks!

I am big into sipping tequilas and really prefer Don Julio Anejo but I am willing to give this a try.

Thanks.

Is this the Alcoholics thread or what?

I don't even drink alcohols and you guys make me want to buy a wine frige!

 

[AcuDefTechGuy]

I still think it's improvement over the other cabinet.

I guess you'll just have to re-watch and re-listen to all those movies and music again just to make sure.

I had about 30 or 40 minutes yesterday when Nancy left to go pick up Christina at her friend's house. I cranked it up to some pretty intense volume levels... it was reading -5db. I don't think I've had it up that high. Everything was responding quite nicely. The Sunfire was barely even warm sutffed in the cabinet.

I'll have a solid couple of hours tonight. I plan on breaking out a bunch of my old 80's club stuff like Cover Girls, Company B, and some other questionable material. Hell, I may even grow 80's mullet back.

Ha... aren't we just a couple of aristocrats!

The cool thing about the cabinet is that it's got mulit zones. So I've dedicated a section to booze as well. I figured what the hell? I'm not gonna pack it with 500 bottls of wine.

 

[ParadigmDawg]

What booze requires cooling? I drink scotch and tequila neet. I guess I would put vodka in there.

Say it ain't so, Chris!

I like anything cold. To me it just tastes better. I usually chill tequila, vodka, even rum and whisky. A side benefit is that it helps keep the ice in your glass from melting too quick and watering down your drink.

Oh it's so. I was all later seasons Don Johnson-ed out. The hair was sorda short and frisky on top and all man sexy in back. I also had the requisite ear ring as well. I had the pointed shoes, the skinny tie, the pullovers and jackets that had the triganular flap thing you left open to look all cool.

I graduated 1987. I could not have been more pathetic.

 

[ParadigmDawg]

Ice in your glass? I see I need to give you some drinking lessons. Head on over.

I know, I know. it's blasphemy... akin to boiling ribs for bbq in my world, but I can't help it. It's just the way I prefer it.

Bonus thought... I can hide my M&M's and Peanut Butter Cups in there too... yes... I like those cold as well, but my daughter is like a garbage can so I have to hide stuff from her. It's the perfect place!

At least you missed the era of "Leisure Suits"

I remember buying a professional short-hair wig to wear to Army Reserve monthly meetings, so I could leave my hair long. This were the days LOL

Well... I upgraded the room a bit. I bought a new bd player, so I knew the wife would have to get something of her own... we try to be fair... <cough cough>

Anyway... she tells me she wants to move the glass art glass cabinet out of the family room. I nearly started crying with joy since that's been the bane of my existence acoustic-wise since it sat about 4 feet from my speaker.

Foolish the way I am, I never should have thought the space would remain empty. No... "we" decided to get a new wine cabinet... not just a wine rack... nooooooo... a huge monster refridgerated wine cabinet to take it's place. <sigh>

The bad news is, there's still a lot of glass on it and it does get some odd sonic reflections, but the good news is... it's a huge improvement over the other cabinet. I can turn the fan off when we're doing critical movie watching of music listening since it can be distracting, but I still think it's improvement over the other cabinet. We moved everything around and appearance-wise everything looks much better... but the thing holds 500 bottles and I only had about 60... so I fear the next outing will be to get more wine.

At least it's baby steps in the right direction. The saga continues...

Here's some pics of the room and one of the newly moved art glass cabninet which I've been asked to put up better pics of before.

How about a nice pair of Shoji screens that can be moved when you need to get to whatever is behind them?

Smart thinking, but I take it you're not married.

There would zero chance of that ever happening. Perhaps I could have a screen I could bring in when I need to, but I'd do it the first few times and I'd likely never go through the hassle of it after some time.

I'll live iwth it. I've done quite a bit of listening and it's actually not nearly as bad as the other cabinet.... and most importanly... I don't have to worry about breaking any of the glassware in side it.
