It actually might have been two summers ago. My neighbors absolutely love me, whenever they see me pull the speakers out everyone congregates in my driveway and around the front of my house, I love it! It really is amazing how fantastic they sound outdoors with all types of music. We have such great neighbors, people come over, bring bottles of wine and other drinks kids ride around the circle out in front of the house it's just a great party atmosphere…

Luther, Here a couple pics of the speakers that you donated to the museum for the auction at the Pilgrimage. Thanks for doing that, it was a quality move on your behalf. Carl May, (the other Carl)

Very good finds there guys! Hollies Epic Label:

I've kept my saga off of the forums for the most part because...I really hate spreading my personal affairs among people. It's just one of those things that I tend to avoid... When I started school, I did so with the intention and drive to get in to the military as a civilian somehow. Applying knowledge or skills that you learn as a historian into any field is a wealthy trait, and I went into that field knowing full well the flack I'd get from people, and the generic: "you gonna teach?" responses. It all comes down to how you market yourself, I have learned. My dream job was working in archives or at a military museum of some sort. Living in my part of the country offers you little, except for one of the largest armories in the country, and the only U.S. Government owned munitions facility: the Rock Island Arsenal. In May, I took up a volunteer position there working at the museum. This counted towards internship credits that I could apply towards my Museum Studies minor, since most of my major requirements have been fulfilled. The museum and points north are all part of Army Sustainment Command - and one of my professors happens to be active within the ASC (not sure how high up he is, but he's up there). I managed to get through the USAJobs website (that was a treat), and have now been informed that I have an interview coming up with ASC. I am aware we have some ex-military members here, and I know of at least one person here who is Army Civ (even on the same base). Does anyone have any pointers for a government/federal interview? I've been told in the past they are fairly intimidating and can throw you off your game really fast... Thursday needs to hurry up and get here...

teaman, I have had my Emotiva PT-100 for a month now. For 300 bucks I don't think you can find anything close to it. The pre amp is very basic, no bells or whistles but that is what I was looking for. The display is easy to see and has your basic functions. The tuner section works great, with the wire antenna that came with it I am able to pull in stations 60 miles away. I have been using the PT-100 to stream Spotify, very happy with that sounds great. I also purchased the new Emotiva CD-100 cd player, which I also really like. I have done a A B comparison using the RCA or Optical cable. I think the Optical cable sounds better. Once again for 300 bucks I think the Emotiva CD-100 player would be hard to beat. I don't have a turn table yet to try the phono section out, so I can't give an opinion on it as of now. I am using the Emotiva XPA GEN 3 2 Channel power amp, and a pair of Klipsch Forte's along with the PT-100 and the CD-100 for my bedroom system. I am very happy with it, sounds great. The only 2 negatives that I have on the PT-100 was the tuner section was hard to program, instructions in book didn't work for me. Quick call to Damon at Emotiva had me going in 5 minutes. Also the remote the volume moves very quickly, so just be careful.

just picked it up . my local used and new record shop did not have la women....bummer !!!

BeFuddled - owned modified KHorns (complete Fastlane Elliptrac top hat, ALK extremes) and Jubilees at the same time. Same room, same electronics. The KHorns now reside with another forum member. IMO any type of modified Klipsch horn element compared to a Klipsch designed Pro speaker is not a fair fight. And rightly so. I am also convinced my Fastlane KHorns did not have the live presentation "jump" as do the stock KHorns Ive heard in the Hope sound room. Klipsch horns are designed to replicate a live sound for the home. While live can never be replicated in home hifi the larger factory Klipsch horns, KHorns, LS, Jubilee, 396, come much closer to live than the more hifi sound of aftermarket "upgraded" (read modified), horns.

Could it be my room?

............Tonight (9pm. EASTERN) a sync play of Alan Parson's classic 'I Robot'...........photos from Music Hall will be posted here too ... See you then... .................Gary

I'm working this evening but I got to spin another album I purchased today I remember how extravagant the costumes and live shows were Artist - Mott The Hoople Title - Live Live was recorded and Hammersmith and Broadway ID- US pressing - PC33282

Haven't gotten to play around with the new setup much yet, but the PT-100 and 2-160 are hooked up!

Those are super cool!

Nope, trusty "ScalaHauler" still in active duty ...and yep, as you know Mook, a pair DO fit, wth an inch to spare Matt ♪ ♫ ♪

Lol, I'll check it out, like I fell to earth, not hip. last time I spun a record backwards, heard my - ex asking me to turn it up. Scary...

you have to spin that backwards...another one bites the dust

That's awesome agreen60, happy to hear you are enjoying the Emotiva products as well. The Emotiva support staff really are good there, not many companies can assist you as promptly as they do. Damon is a great guy, I have chatted with him many times. That sounds like a really nice bedroom system, again the reviews of the third gen Emotiva amps are drawing many rave reviews. I have both first and second gen amps and really enjoy them. I have owned all three of the ERC model cd players and was thinking that smaller CD-100 would be perfect for budget minded people that want good quality. I would think that system would mesh very nicely with your Forte's. Tim

I could really use one of those, and the thing to carry plywood.

That looks sweet brother. So glad you got that Sherbourn amp for your set up. Those small component fans are a great idea. I own the Sherbourn one and it works great in my system. My processor of all things heats up quite a bit and this does a good job of keeping it cool. I was nice to see those AC Infinity fans are now available at Audio Advisor. 99 bucks is a good deal too. Tim

Got a chance to give the new setup a good workout today. To say I'm happy would be an understatement. The 20's have come alive.

Road Trip, gold country Hwy 49 It's that time......

Dang....usually have a cocktail while watching This Old House. Preempted for fund raising. Well I can still have the drink

SOLD

3 new 180G albums in the last 2 days. Haven't spun any of them yet but I know what I'll be listening to while I clean the house tomorrow. Roger Waters: Is This The Life We Really Want Peter Gabriel: 4 Peter Gabriel: So

I will just say, "There will always be someone with more and someone with less: education, life expectancy, money, stuff. Serenity comes not from what you have, but knowing what you can live without."

Some of the best advice I ever received about any interview...these are all people that WANT to like you. Be friendly, courteous, and most importantly, just be yourself. You will be great.

Morning gang Took care of the "New Fangled Ramp" problem yesterday. Iv always been one to buy kinky/new/different, this time i was right when looking at them before purchase. No Biggie as you can see, traded them out for a pair of straight ones, they work like a champ. Notice on these "Curvy Things" there is NO right way really without asking for the front end to come up on Ya wile loading.

My best friend grew up wanting to be a Civil War (U.S.) historian. After a detour to SE Asia, He finished school, got a job at a C.W. site in Georgia, moved to Texas for a while, back to Georgia. Became director of museum at Ft. Stewart, GA. Moved to the Edison Historical site in New Jersey, the U.S. Army Heritage and Education Center, Carlisle, PA, finished up in D.C. Along the way he published some books on the Civill War. He's now officially retired. Other than being in the Army during the Viet Nam era, he was a civilian employee. If you would like, would you like to get in touch with him? Bruce

My PT-100 showed up today

The engine in the Miata.

That's funny. Love the signatures, it's history, plus it was a cool thing to buy those. Looks like you have quite the collection.

Today I'm spinning and I have to say it's very prog like in passages and pop rock in others Artist - Queen Title - A Night At Ths Opera UK import ID EMTC103

South African waterfall bubinga

You don't want them unless you read a good review in an audiophile magazine. Hold off until then. (wrong thread?)

My son is DTR20 and when he got his Belles we tried everything and they sounded like crap. They had half way decent highs and mids but the bass sounded like a transister radio. No matter what we tried they sounded like crap.We tried 4 or 5 AVRs. I was so upset that my Onkyo 717 with 110 watts per channel couldn't get them to play good. After that I tried talking my son into selling the Belles that everything we heard about them wasn't true or that there was something wrong with them even after he rebuilt the crossovers. Then his friend came over with an old Sony and they came alive. My son bought the Sony on the spot.

My 2003 Silverado SS still limping along at 160,000 miles.

Were they in the garage when you started playing them? You may need to block the wheels.

The record fair is starting in about an hour That gives me time to refine my short list of titles and a coffee before I go Lucky I live close and it's only a 5 min drive

Beautiful Luther, nice job.

I caught Chuckie doing his Friday dance.

10's are not nearly as sought after as 20s or 30s. I would hold out for the real deal if you are looking for KLFs

Here they are in the living room.

The top with some natural light gives a better idea of the real color. Still the sun light on the left lightens the color and with less light on the right, darkens it. The red tint in the middle is a reflection off the wall.

It's a Beautiful Day!

Cheers folks What a beautiful day in my neck of the woods....Got some Kulmbacher Edelherb flowing and Sick Puppies playing...Took tomorrow off

It's Friday, took a few hours off today, Got some Spaten Premium Lager going down thought this is cool, My Dad's Liberty Card...and a picture of his ship...

Lol, had my first Coors legally on Lake Meade. Sunbathing on the hood of my rental car. Low humidity and cold beer, I was made. Of course had to rely on the Bandit before then...east of the Missisip... Cheers Having my regulars, ATM...

Really!!!! I would love to meet him as well....maybe at the 2018 Pilgrimage which I plan to attend. I wont be a newbie then! Would it be appropriate to ask Mr. Wyatt to add his John Hancock again with the then current date?
