FEP Awards? (Joe P, Tony L)

Posted by: Arthur Bye on 30 August 2001

Tony/Joe:

I just read through Joe's original thread on FEP's again. That has to be one of most enjoyable posts I've seen on the web.

As reigning high priests of all things Flat it seems to me that you (Tony and Joe) should have an award ceremony. This especially since the Snappys seem to have disappeared.

Some suggested categories:

Least money spent/most FEP's gained
Most money spent/ fewest FEP's gained(since I can't nominate myself, Mike Hanson)
Most fabricated FEP's (Vuk's remarks about getting free FEP's re: LP12's belt iterations, even though he doesn't own an LP12)
Cheapskate system, most FEP's (Tony L?)
Front end heaviest system (who's got a Clearaudio Insider/Prefix/Supercap to go with their Nait 1/used Kans?)
Most annoying poster(probably several ties for first place here)
Most drunken stupor posts/ Boorish behavior (probably just one nominee here)
Best FEP post (I nominate J Petrik)
Most neurotic Flat Earther (too many to choose from here)
Most posts/ least useful information ( several ties for first place here)
Least posts/ most useful information (I nominate Frank Abela)
Most neurotic Mana poster (Nominee will require the name of an animal)
Stupidest reverse upgrade
Most FEP's
Fewest FEP's
Best/worst mullet system
Most failed attempts at a Coup d'etat of FEP shaman (Vuk I think you're now at two and counting)

FEP points, both positive and negative can be awarded for winners or losers.

I've found a suitable 1st prize as well; sure to please the most ardent Flat Earther.

Samo7,

I once ran Rega Planet > Straightwire Chorus > Nait 3 > B&W CDM1se. Probably the worst "Naimed" system ever. big grin
I don't even want to admit what I ran previous to that.

Have you installed your 49$ Audiotech wall rack yet? I got mine from Robert as well for that price, but haven't put it up yet. Should I bother?

No, I'm finishing a room in my basement ("Hey, how come there is only one chair in there??", my wife asks confusingly.)As far as the rack goes I'm still not sure what to think yet. I don't think it was as heavy as the old Target rack I once owned.And you??...Do you feel you were made to "Bend over a sawhorse and grab your ankles" or are you tickled pink??

In my estimation, the lighter these things are the better (for my purposes- Rega TT). Though I admit upon opening the box I was rather underwhelmed. Nevertheless, the MSRP on these things is 250 USD ! some retailer

So I figure 50 bucks is a steal. I hope to have the thing up this weekend.

When $50U.S. is changed into the Can.peso and sprinkled with a good dose of s&h, your up to a $100.00 boke in no time...but hey, I don't mind droppin' a few clams if it's going to make the difference I hope it will...gotta isolate that planar3/rb300/dynavecteur10x4...anyway let me know...
