Title: New baby.
Post by: xcortes on March 28, 2011, 01:04:11 PM
Nope, this one is not a BH kit (there's still plenty of those in the making!) but a real one. The fourth one will arrive before 2011 is gone. Plenty of joyous music these days please!

Congrats!

I would perhaps not follow Doc's lead for naming conventions.

Heartiest congratulations! 

Headphones are your friends for the next year or two, I imagine!

Nope, my kids have always lived (as I did on my time) with nice music all day. They learn, since very young, to stay away from my hot tubes (don't ask my teaching technique) and to enjoy what comes out of the speakers. The big one (six) already helped me to put together my last kit (Eros) and the boys' and girls' rooms each have a Gainclone amp, a Toshiba modified (ala John Swenson) CD player and a nice pair of speakers (Jordan JX92S TLs the girls and Altec 403As with Fostex tweeters the boys).

The more my kids grow and demand of me the less my headphones are used!

That sounds like my upbringing. I would just sit on the couch with my parents and fall asleep while they listened to Allman Brothers and Clapton. Congrats.

Congratulations!  I too am proud to say that my 9 year old hears what her peers are listening to and by and large says the music is terrible.  I like to take credit for that.   :)

Congratulations Xavier and to your wife and the new one's siblings as well!

I too grew up with a variety of music from Classical to opera to jazz, folk, celtic, etc. -- now look at me :-).  However I will say that I didn't have my own stereo in my room until fairly late in my teens.

Congratulations again,

Jim

Congrats Xavier! How did you find the time to make another kid amongst all of your audio projects? ;^)>
