LF's birthday. Movie and dinner later. Going to see " A Walk In The Woods". Going to lunch with 2 other geezers for ribs at this little dumpy country store in the next county. Organizing LPs into genre to go back onto the shelves. Four stacks so far.....jazz, blues, Dylan, SRV. Will end up making Dylan into folk and SRV into rock. Just thinking out loud here..... You're almost to Friday cheese chasers Retirees....hit the snooze button one more time.....oh that's right we threw the clock away Cheers Ladies and Gents

Congratulations Chuck. I am waiting to board a flight to Phoenix. Going to spend a few days with my buddy John, audio hoarder extraordinaire.

By All Means Congratulations Granpa Chuck! Where's the cigar emoticon?

Congratulations Chuck...I have nine grandkids....told them to stop. One of my daughters took my advice finally and two of the boys have long hair. Nothing more happy than seeing them with hair down to their shoulders, flashing me a peace sign.

morning all....may need some caffeine today...rough night with the youngest cutting molars......dragging today.....

Which one's Chuck?

Congratulations Chuck, Special Day indeed

Congrats

Congrats grandpa...

Local liquor store now carries Evan Williams White Label.......I am very very happy

Commode broken?

Thanks for all the kind words and congrats guys. Momma, dad and baby doing great.

Look at those monsters, it's exactly why I built 4 singles. I helped move a pair like that once and it's no fun. ;

Morning yet again I Take a Nap and wake up to find another Little one! Great news for grandparents! Ordered up my Upol and some good spotting putty. Cooler day, spect i'll go work on the MCMs for awile. Last of the Coffee done, time to get movin..... One side at a time, bottom is done and drilled for casters. Ill take a before and after of the the top, that is next, you want to talk about scratches!

Great news Chuck! As for the photo I'm the confused looking one.....wait they are all confused looking

That's cool, peace signs and everything 60's is popular again with young kids, could be a lot worse. Nine, wow, how many kids do you have ? We have 3 kids and 6 grandkids and I am almost positive that's the end..........if they have any sense at all !

Congratulations Chuck on another grandkid, Grandpa, it sure is easier than being a parent, you can send them home.

I'm thinking brown hat.

Yes, congratulations!!!

Congratulations Chuck!

Do they make Klipsch sunglasses...Mowed the yard with the Poulan self propelled. Picked up some cat litter, I'm An ice cold Old Milwaukee would taste refreshing!...pooped! Need some new glasses also. Kissed the wrong woman the other day.

If you have it, might as well flaunt it!

I'm thinking brown hat. He's probably the one taking the pic, and constantly telling the other old geezers LF stories because they can only go by memories.

Speaking of glasses...got a new script yesterday and ordered new lens coated with Cristal tor no glare. Titanium frames $$$

That's funny, just got back to reading here a little, been busy. You know how much fun it is to dissemble the complete 2Ch and separate HT setup and move it all out the way for changes. all done with NO music. I forgot how many wires and cables it takes to have it all work, it's crazy. The good part was it was all done to redo the entertainment cabinet "thing" to make it work for a new TV. The old CRT rear projection TV had the cabinet going around the top of the TV, the new TV will sit on top after being redone.......It's all about done and the music is playing again. When it's done I will put before and after pics.

Afternoon gang Taking a break from doing nothing. Helped the wife unload wallyworld supplys, and Beer/water. Should go back and attack the MCMs, cooler day, 80s w/fan, it's nice.

A BIG congrats to you Chuck.....that's great...... It's cool being a grandad..... 1st time I got a chance to check in.....a good day to all..... Real busy at the shop today...sorry can't play.... MKP :-)

"Board a Flight" 3 words that will never leave my lips Safe Journey wards

When I see a huge price increase in one step, it suggests to me that a company is looking for an excuse to phase out a product. I hope I'm wrong in the case of the K-horns. A person who has been saving for a pair is now likely to decide to forget it and look for a less costly alternative (and there are many high efficiency speakers which fit that category). Such a move certainly won't lead to increased sales of a product which has a limited market share to begin with. I'm very disappointed to see this! Maynard

That may get you in trouble Morning Folks, not much on todays agenda, pay some on the Christmas layaway, follow the wife around the store Rip a few more discs Happy days.....................................NOT

Fancy Well do you look better in them ?

It is, I thought I was going blind even with glasses. Every time we have dealt with BB we swore it would never happen again, but after 30 days and 2 hours of driving it worked out, a new 65" 4K TV, I can see again it's a miracle ! Never again with BB, sure hope we don't need the warranty and have to deal with them again.

Afternoon Gang Up from nap. Waffels/cold coffee Work is done for the day, had to walk out to the mail box. Think ill take the rest of the day off.

That's the other side of the coin. The players collectively bargained and agreed to let the commissioner become sole judge and disciplinarian and the only appeal was right back to him.

Agree on that as well. They could never show the judge where they came up with the 4 game figure either.

Correct. The process of suspending him with no evidence to back it up was deemed unfair.

I would guess the commissioners balls are also a little deflated today ?

Its all about driver selection and cabinet tuning. Everything is a compromise and you can't get everything in one package.

All well recorded cassettes sound incredibly good, but I have a couple I made on "last generation" metal tape, Dolby C encoded, that sound as good as anything, and I mean anything. The technology may be obsolete but the sound quality remains state of the art. Dave

I have about four Technics cassette decks in storage still. I think two dual deck three motor and two single deck three or four motor. Very nice decks. Free to good home if anyone wants them.....just pay shipping! PM me if interested! EDit:.....forgot, I also have a brand new sealed twelve pack of Maxell XL II 90 Chrome tapes....same deal. Just pay shipping! All decks and tapes are sold....thanks Tim

There's no doubt your system is first rate, better than most. As good as it is now... I was simply saying, just imagine it when you can actually decode an Atmos track with all the metadata & objects added to the playback. Many are skeptical of Atmos (it's a gimmick, etc.) but it was tremendously (noticeably) different with my system. If (when) you decide to go Atmos & determine a way to achieve overhead speakers in your space, it will be an unique experience for sure.

heres the thing i hate about demo discs. they are designed to really showoff what its capable of. nothing wrong with that except there is no real world content that sounds that dang good. trust me i have the dolby atmos demo disc and i love it even on my 7.1 or 5.1 upstairs. you may even like it more in my setup than you would your own It might "sound good".... just as both DTS-HD MA & Dolby TrueHD 7.1 can sound good.But the Atmos codec fundamentally requires two things: ** The addition of 128 object paths (that pan anywhere within in a 3D space). ** And the addition of specific height information for overhead sound To achieve those key aspects.... you need to be able to decode the new codec (the object info), the Dolby Atmos Renderer (to recognize your speaker configuration which include the overhead height plane). Demo disc or not, without an Atmos capable AVR or Processor you're not getting anything that Atmos offers. Your just reproducing a nice traditional height speaker setup. Two completely different experiences. nismo you are super good writing lengthy responses pointing out the obvious. Lol. I already know I don't have an atmos receiver. And I also know that I don't have atmos ceiling speakers or modules. My statement was that I bet that 9 out of 10 people would enjoy my "cinema" setup vs the average joe's setup because my speakers are (sorry to say this) in a different league than most people's on here. That was all.

Watching that new TV compared to the old rear projector will be like getting a new pair of prescription glasses.

wait a tick OP... all those sl-1200's from the seventies are still working, who the heck is going to buy a $1000 "new" sl-1200? I love this back handed article comment... "The new SL-1200 is expected in 2016, so you have plenty of time to start buying up overpriced vinyl reissues."

It's a Patsy Cline kinda day "Crazy"

Before I EQ'd my living room HT I had a HUGE peak at 53Hz. Gunfights were unreal. The final gunfight in Open Range was my demo disc for a long time till I flattened the room out. It was way hot in that frequency but it was fun. You could feel every shot.

You may need an RC 62 II or RC 64II. The RC 64 II will be the best and no further upgrades. Running two speakers for the center leads to comb filtering and blurring of the sound. If size is a problem and RC 7 may work. I take it another tower is not an option.
