Wish I could have seen him live. Marveled at his solo stuff, and the be-zillion songs he played on for other greats. The earth turns a little slower in his absence. RIP sir.

Ciao, Agostino, Well the AK6 version has the rear portion of the bass horn enclosed so it doesn't need to be pushed tightly into a perfect corner like the earlier versions do. The AK6 does however benefit from being placed near a corner based on what I've read. I have AK2 from the 1980's and they need to be tight to the corners or the balance of the speaker is affected and they sound thin. AK6 should be good. Maybe someone here who owns AK6 will answer with actual experience.

Wow! Time to see what I have in the 'fun money" envelope in the sock drawer.......😉

Thanks for the heads up. Deleted.

That’s the general details to follow with links to sponsorship donation purchases, etc. Plus there’s more (like maybe an option to purchase a matching Heritage Sub. and be the first to have one of those for the complete system).when those become available. Stat tuned for more details.

Heh.... parts of me miss DOS. I could make some wicked autoexec files with it. I'm more of a keyboard person and the mouse slows me down as a general comment. I liked the command prompt BUT, made batch files so I could drive it from a menu.....via keyboard. hang on.... I have to move my hand now, from my keyboard to the mouse to send this..... be right there....

Medical technology has come a long way, even from 10 years ago My better half had a complete new knee replacement 12 months ago and it was custom made in the USA on a 3D printer She was walking normal on the next day after she had the operation

Un-zipped! These Ohio boys ARE DIFFERNT and lighting it up where evah they play it seems. Totally outta the box with ALL kinds of stuff goin down on their lp's. Thing is, It's ALL tight and has direction, which I believe pulls them closer to the fanbase they have. They definitely "hook ya up" ALL the way thru the lp EVERY time. So ya might wanna check them out. Crazy ride for sure. I don't even buckle up anymore. Just chill. From Akron, and ya gotta remember one 'other" guy Joe Walsh is from up that way. I KNOW Joe's high on 'em. Gotta be the water cause it's some crazy rock n roll for sure. The Black Keys are an American rock duo formed in Akron, Ohio in 2001. The group consists of Dan Auerbach (guitar, vocals) and Patrick Carney (drums). The duo began as an independent act, recording music in basements and self-producing their records, before they eventually emerged as one of the most popular garage rock artists during a second wave of the genre's revival in the 2000s. The band's raw blues rock sound draws heavily from Auerbach's blues influences, including Junior Kimbrough, R.L. Burnside, Howlin' Wolf, and Robert Johnson. Friends since childhood, Auerbach and Carney founded the group after dropping out of college. After signing with indie label Alive, they released their debut album, The Big Come Up (2002), which earned them a new deal with Fat Possum Records. Over the next decade, the Black Keys built an underground fanbase through extensive touring of small clubs, frequent album releases and music festival appearances, and broad licensing of their songs. Their third album, Rubber Factory (2004), received critical acclaim and boosted the band's profile, eventually leading to a record deal with major label Nonesuch Records in 2006. After self-producing and recording their first four records in makeshift studios, the duo completed Attack & Release (2008) in a professional studio and hired producer Danger Mouse, who subsequently became a frequent collaborator with the band. Prove me wrong! Crank it and let it GO!

@Tim Sr. like I don't know that? roflmao... I'm so far outta that box but she WAS interesting! I DO apperciate you brother! Kinda Maybe! lol Un-zipped this one the other day and gave it a spin. Today is the second time thru and I'm finding I'm enjoying it even more. He obviously took some serious notes cause this lp is tight. Smooth as silk, great lyrics and lil things in ALL the right places to keep your attention while the songs pretty much flows unassisted. Eric Charles Bibb (born August 16, 1951) is a Grammy-nominated American-born blues singer and songwriter. Early life and education[edit] Eric Bibb was born on August 16, 1951.[1] His father, Leon,[2] was a musical theatre singer, who made a name for himself as part of the 1960s New York folk scene; his uncle was the jazz pianist and composer John Lewis, of the Modern Jazz Quartet. Family friends included Pete Seeger, and actor/singer/activist Paul Robeson, Bibb's godfather.[3] He was given his first steel-string acoustic guitar at age seven. Growing up surrounded by talent, he recalls a childhood conversation with Bob Dylan, who, on the subject of guitar playing, advised the 11-year-old Bibb to "Keep it simple, forget all that fancy stuff" (as recounted in "The Transatlantic Sessions 5" program and DVD from the BBC.

@Dave1291 Wait my friend, no no no, STOP trust me we can save you here. Ya got friends, we do not cost as much as that neck anchor. You can spin anything you want without the hassle of being told to play something different!! Or "TURN IT DOWN!!!" And lest we forget... the approval thing, being told no that it is TOO expensive.... and add to that the guilt about not getting those new shoes the week before (Really expensive ones) that she said she needed!! ... Stick with us and enjoy your tunes!!

Regarding replacing the Cinema 600 power supply with the recommended Amazon one, can anyone tell me how the 5 wires connect to the four blue connectors on the board. Already connected the black and red power cables. Thanks.

Cool 😎

Yea, forgot that part. Post divorce I was in a-fib so the OSU heart hospital had a revolving door built just for me. I had darn near every nurse on the floor trying to hook me up with this hot af nurse a few years younger. They ALL were telling me how much she enjoyed me. Yea, we did get along and laff a lot but outta one wallet rape into possibly another? Beside a two-hour round trip all the time? Blah. I've OFTEN wondered just WHAT she might be up to now. Kinda glad I stuck w/the fat one that told me they actually drew straws for me cause I was no fuss or muss and hilarious. Then she started in w/the full body massage tease? Why of course, have at it. Trust me they are ALL outta the box and mmm mmmm good. I know I've got that number she wrote down somewhere. Sounds like a pay to play sport doesn't it? 😂

That’s how I read it.

Hey George: @MicroMara I am sorry that the rehab was not enough, and that surgery is required. As Dave made reference of it is pretty much SOP, and yep they have a lot of MINIMAL ways to get things done. Doing each part separately makes the best sense. You have us crazy Grey haired old men here and some Red Heads I hear that are Rooting and cheering for you. You have friends and we will just have to plan a few spin parties with you while you do the recovery part. And ABomb is right, the Nurses are that best source of information. Get well soon

@Deang and all the rest of you all. It's absolutely insane today compared to back in THEE day. Yet people are STILL throwin down the cash. Ya can't blame the artists cause the demand for flash and 20 rigs haulin the production from venue to venue is pricey in itself. Back in about '64 I told a close friend that someday people would be lining up just to have their picture taken with him and he'd make millions just from that. We ALL died laffin and it was a standing laff between us all for years, About 10 years ago my buddies kid was telling me he & his wife were "IN" for one of his shows. They'd spent 1500 on two "VIP" tickets, great seats and a pic with him prior too. He had to have that fb pic. lol Inside I was dyin laffin. I said well have a great time and tell him I said he owes me. So a week or so later he's beaming showing me their pic. i asked if he gave him my msg and he said he did. Reaction? He said he laffed and said he prolly did. You bet he does. His worthless butt sittin on a stool w/them on either side w his grin on. One gaggle after another. So there's that. People are NUTS! Ya got a rig or into Blu-Ray fire it up and chill. You paid the admission fee to all of 'em and it's sittin right there delivering EVERY time thanks to PWK! Life's simp;le. Keep it that way or am I missing something? CURMUDGEONS UNITE! 😂 💪 😂

May I repeat it to check if I understand correctly? By making a donation, you have a chance to win a pair of AL-6 that are given away for free, and the higher the donation, the higher the chance of winning? Did I get that right?

Wishing you the best for your surgery and a speedy recovery. Remember...do what the Nurses tell you to do...they know more than the Dr's 99% of the time.

@MicroMara thanks for the update Grorge. I've been wondring how things were going your way. At least the weather seems to be cooperating even if the body isn't. Facts are facts and unfortunately we're ALL getting older and even dizzier the way this planet is spinning today imo. Did the back thing about 10 years ago. Wasn't much compared to what you're looking at. On the upside, it's pretty much SOP today and the technology is crazy good compared to the horror stories we've all heard in out lifetimes. On the downside, wait.... Just revert to the upside and don't worry about it. It'll just make you gray. You'll be fine. I'm 100% better than I was even though mine was mild. Removed a couple bone spurs that had been getting worse as I got older. Ya just can't sit and fret about facts. You'll become a semi-average breeding stallion. Those wimmen yolu hang with will dote over you. Prove me wrong . 😂 Stiff upper lip brother! Dr Phil 😂

One for today that I "borrowed" from a Jewish humour group I belong to on FB: Chaim comes to his rabbi with a problem he’s been having lately: — Rabbi, as you know, I’ve been working at Katz’ Deli for the past few years. But lately, I’ve been overcome with an immense desire to stick my penis into the pickle slicer. All I can think about is fulfilling this dream of mine. The rabbi is disturbed and suggests to Chaim to join Talmudic studies at the synagogue a few times a week to see if the wisdom of Talmud may help him overcome such a peculiar desire. After a few weeks, Chaim comes to rabbi again. He clearly lost a few pounds, his forehead is sweaty, and he shares with rabbi that even though the study helped to dull his obsession a little initially, but it came back with a vengeance and the only thing he really can think of is sticking his penis into the pickle slicer at work. Rabbi thinks hard about it and finally says: Chaim, since the desire in you is so powerful and it consumes you so much, then perhaps the best course of action would be to follow up on it. So Chaim leaves, and comes back next afternoon proclaiming: — Rabbi, Rabbi! I did it! I stuck my penis into the pickle slicer! Rabbi looks at him in disbelief and asks him: — Are you OK, Chaim? — Yes, yes, I am more than OK! It was the best experience in my life! I did get fired from Katz’ Deli, but it was absolutely worth it! — And what about the pickle slicer? — Well, she got fired too.
