poopie boy

I live in LA and will proxy them for you guys when I get 10 people interested in buying them.. Just PM me with a model, color and size. I will charge a 10% proxy fee. Just let me know.

In his defense, you can buy all these in NY and LA but they are marked up much more than 25% due to customs taxes. Acne jeans that are $290 here are $150usd in Sweden

But on the other hand, there are many other people doing the same proxy service for a lot less than 25%.. that is ridiculous.

I'll do pickups on them. as soon as I get 10 people wanting a pair of them I'll go buy them. They always have them in stock and if I remember correctly they are $20-25 depending on the model. They pretty much run like vans all the way, that being the low models are true to size and the mid-high models run a little big.

damnit i went to opening ceremony here in l.a. this weekend to buy the blue suede desert boots and they were sold out in everything dope in every size close to mine.. sucks!

sell your kidney and buy the common projects. they will last longer.

nice sneakers and jeans? there's no talk of that on this website, i suggest you try elsewhere.

damnit if that branquinho shirt was a 48 id have copped.

I want to live in Pacific Palisades wooord.

I know they did. but i'm looking for sweatpants. and union, to my knowledge, never carried sweatpants by cyc.

Antwerp, Amsterdam, Stockholm, London, Paris, Lisbon, Canary Islands, Iceland, Barcelona, Athens, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Belize, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Tokyo, Nepal, Alaska,

the list goes on as far as places I want to visit.. but If I had to choose one place I'd go if it was absolutely free is probably Barcelona or Paris..

Yalumba Riesling has been my drank of choice for a while. the Pinot Grigio they have is very good as well. always been more of a wine drinker as I don't drink much beer.

Riesling, while good, is for females.

Pinot Noir is that dopeness.

Kane, Ive been wanting a pair of blank CYC sweats for a long ass time. Ever since I got my first spruce hoodie i've wanted some damn sweat pants in that heavy ass fleece. Hook me up please! I've asked you before but received no response I'm not asking you to make me a pair, but if you have some left overs in something resembling a sz 30 waist, i'll take'em.

As far as stores that would carry it.. I don't know anybody directly but I would explore stores like Union (I realize they already carry Reigning Champ), SLB on fairfax in l.a., and maybe even something like a Commisary. I'm sure they'd pick it up. On the other hand, while there is definitely going to be a market for this, summer probably isn't the best time to try it.

I have those blue acnes you posted. I have them in navy. Highly recommended.

Pmed on the acne's about 15 minutes ago.. awaiting a reply.

i have the 1st gen mac blackbook hooked up to my 37 inch flat screen and i've hooked up my friend's macbook pro to it too and they look the same.. and this is coming from a videophile so yeah, just get which ever laptop you like the most the mbp is not going to yield a better picture than the regular macbook

^^ those are ugly. stop selling them!

^no they haven't yet spots i know that carry cp are south willard and theory. anywhere else carry these??

Just so you guys know I am willing to do pickups at Opening Ceremony here in L.A. Just PM me what you want and in what size. Depending on how many responses I get I will pick a day to go out and get them, and I'll let you guys know by when I need all the orders. I'll also do pickups at Fred Segal Melrose and Fred Segal Santa Monica. Just let me know. The more inquiries I get the more I will lower the proxy fee.

That jacket is fucking sick.

So I'm also looking for some sheets and pillows for my bed (which is just a matress right now). I'm looking for something that is either all white or has a white-ish tone (like in the picture posted a couple posts up). I'm not looking to pay mark-up prices.. so if I was going to shop on ebay or something similar, what exactly do I look for? Are there specific brands that I can look for that will for sure be of high quality? I just want something that will last me a long time.

I'm not looking for some homo super soft sheets.. my skin isn't delicate and i'm not some homo-princess.. I just want something that will last and is breathable.

^ Good to know. Are you talking about changing the movie's setting to 2.0 if available, or just forcing it through a stereo pair?

What do you think I should do about the computer soundcard? Stick to the analogue setup I have get an external with digital?

Some movies will have a Dolby Digital 2.0 or 2.1 track that you can select on the DVD, if not, just set your receiver to Stereo to make it play. If you have some rears and want to try 4.1, just go to Channel settings and set front to large, center to no, surround to large and subwoofer to yes. I'd set the crossover at 100hz. This is all, of course, theorizing that you'd be getting a subwoofer

A REALLY good subwoofer for the money that I would be looking at if I was you would be the Martin Logan Dynamo. This sub uses a small footprint and is configurable for forward and downward firing. I love this sub a lot, I think its a tremendous value.

And now for my favorite part of this subwoofer, I'll just quote someone from MartinLogan themselves:

"Multi-Channel Music and Movies

The LFE output of your receiver is where the dedicated .1 signal for your movies or music (DVD-A, SACD, DTS) is passed through. Without this connection the signal would need to be "derived" from the L&R pre-amp outputs. NOT the best way to go for multi channel connection. Also, keep in mind the LFE signal is not always 80hz and below... most newer receivers can be adjusted up to about 120hz. 80hz IS the THX recommendation, however.

Generally the goal for a subwoofer in a movie is not to sound natural, but to draw the viewer in by taking the experience over the top. If you have ever seen any type of explosion in real life... they sound nothing like what you hear in a movie. Truth is, they would be boring if they did.

Note that by using the LFE input the internal crossover is bypassed in a MartinLogan subwoofer. This prevents cascading multiple crossovers.

2 Channel Listening

Most audiophiles want their subwoofer to "blend" with their main speakers in a 2 channel system. This means the subwoofer should not be obtrusive... in other words it should not sound like there is a subwoofer in the room. It should simply compliment where the main speakers taper off.

One of the main ways to accomplish the above goal is by adjusting the crossover setting to match the main speakers performance in a given environment... usually MUCH lower than 80hz. This is why we still have an internal crossover inside of the subwoofer as well.

Also, keep in mind that many receivers will no longer output via LFE in 2 channel if the Pure Direct mode is selected. They will always continue to output via the L&R pre-amp outputs.

The MartinLogan Answer

All MartinLogan subwoofers allow for simultaneous LFE and Stereo connections. This gives you the best of both worlds. The subwoofer defaults to using the LFE connection when a signal is present in multi-channel, but will default to the L&R signal when LFE signal has disappeared. This also means that the crossover adjustment on the subwoofer now becomes active, blending it with the main speakers seamlessly. When you kick your 5.1 movie back in... the LFE signal now bypasses those settings.

Pretty freaking cool, huh?"

This subwoofer retails for $599usd by the way.

As far as your soundcard, honestly, you're fine with what you have. an external soundcard will really just complicate things and the improvements will be minimal at best, upgrade the most important stuff first: Speakers will give you the biggest difference, source 2nd, amplification 3rd, cables/dac/other accessories last.

Movies sound amazing in stereo, in most cases even better than they do in surround. The theory of surround sound is based off stereo to begin with. The origins of surround sound were for four speakers not five, and were based off stereo imaging in the front, rear and side sound stages. The center channel was only added in to provide an anchored dialogue for a wider sweet spot. I personally hate the way center channels sound, but again, its all preference! The job of speakers is to play the soundtrack and disappear, I feel that stereo does a much better job of this than 5.1.

step 1: don't get an external sound card, your mac mini is fine as long as you follow step 2a.

step 2: use firewire if your receiver/amp/whatever you are using this time has one, usb transfers information and power, where as firewire only transfers information. the transfer of power within the cable arguably creates noise because it is not isolated from the information transfer

step 2a: use usb if you have to, and run it into a usb dac. run optical out of it into your av receiver/amp/whatever you are using. this will reclock everything and make it sound a lot more open, focused, and accurate. a good DAC is one of the best investments you can make. to make things even easier, your mac mini's headphone jack also doubles as an optical out. you can buy a headphone to optical adapter and a REALLY good optical cable into a receiver/amp (or into a good DAC before that to achieve better results) and it will sound great, too.

step 3: do yourself a favor, get yourself a REL subwoofer dude.. i'm not going to delve into this a lot, as you seem to have your own opinion, which we all do, but at least seek one out to listen to.

on that note, an integrated amp basically IS a receiver. i mean there is an amp, which handles powering, and a preamp, which handles signal processing. an integrated amp is a preamp and an amp that are integrated. an av receiver is a preamp and an amp that are integrated. there are obviously some differences ie. video processing but asking if the difference between such and such products will be significant or marginal depends on every other component in the system, the source, and obviously, how discriminating your ear can be. if you're looking to build a modest home theater later: get an a/v receiver. if you're looking to build a reference quality home theater later, get a really good multichannel amp and start shopping for a/v processors/preamps to add on as time goes by. if you are strictly 2 channel and using a computer as your source, my inclination would be to tell you to get an integrated amp, but its your call at the end of the day..

something tells me you're playing mp3s on this system... i don't know why..

They fit like dunks yo.

I have the max dominated wash... its a washed denim that is a very very dark grey, almost looks black but not quite there. Its soft and feels a tiny bit oily, and has the acne patch in black.

the max cash is a black raw denim that is very thin and jet black, it looks really clean and has the acne patch in white. i want them.
