Hmmmmmmm...

Interesting as a collectible too. The Vinyl album is valued at around 10 euro, the music cassette is 16 euro.

hi everybody, A 1986 NME compilation on Rough Trade Records, an impressive band roster, some of which would go on to become famous: Primal Scream A Witness The Scrubs The Wedding Present Mighty mighty Stump The Pastels The Mighty Lemon Drops The Soup Dragon ... https://www.discogs.com/fr/Various-C86/release/850292 I am not the cassette but the original LP version that I bought in 1986 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C86

Recently picked up an Roku Ultra to replace the Roku 3 that I had. The jump in image quality is quite noticeable and impressive. This is a screen shot from the couch off of a youtube vid. My projector is still an 1080p model, but still throws a nice image, about 98" diagonal in this pic.

Thank you for postin g about JJ Cale here. For some reason, he was never on my radar. Now it is an instant like! And JJ Cale sounds soooo great on my 1972 Heresies. Can't be a coincidence!!!!!!!!

As a teen, I was a fan of Dire Straits and Knopfler's solo projects (mostly movie scores). I have most of his albums on vinyl and recently I bought all the dire straits albums on CD (they are dirt cheap now...) Mark Knopfler has aged well and he's a great guy. He still posts some interesting videos on you*ube and he is still recording. He does is for the love of music and not for the money (he's filthy rich, or should be...) This is one of my heroes (like Van Morrison), and when they speak, I shut up and listen! And here's Eric Clapton and JJ Cale on guitars.... ... And now I understand why someone above said JJ Cale is the 'mentor' of Mark Knopler. Just watch this. This solo is soooooo Knopfler (it's the other way round, I know...)

Stunning news! Had the opportunity to meet Dave at the 2018 Pilgrimage.

A tribute to Dave; some will get it

JJ Cale wrote so many made famous by others. We probably all heard lots of them fifty years ago without even knowing that. That was the case with me until reading Clapton's liner notes.

Yes we have discussed him here in past. He had done it all. From Leon to Bob, he and Muscle Shoals studio, he collaborated with alot of names. Especially like the song, Momma don't allow no...

@grasshopper Yea, it has been! Get with the program shed boy! Share some of that stash you're sittin on! We know you got the tunes! "Sounds of the Studio: This of course is called hmmmmmmm." Headphones on??? Find anything??? 😂

Hi all been a while since I posted something/anything... bad pun. I couldn't resist. it was too easy this seemed like a very appropriate forum to play this..

Good to "see" you again @mustang_flht gonna pull that up on something with sound! Whoaaa @Dave1291 must have a worker shortage going on huh? @dirtmudd "That's the Ticket" Five at a time is much better that the three I ran with. Vinyl Stack has shut down their shop!

I've been looking @ this

I love that on this Forum it only took several days for my OP about system satisfaction to turn into a discussion about "I can't get no Satisfaction"\\\ And I try and I try and I try - I can't get no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hated to hear this, it was suprising to say the least. RIP Dave I like how they described him “wonderfully eccentric”, that's dave. He would have loved that. .

I had a few emails with Dave in the early part of this year. I felt like be had slipped his anchor and not able to set a proper course. I'll miss him, for sure, and prayers will be lifted up to the one he knew, for him and all his family. I'm having a hard time with this. 😥

Come on Maynard get with the NEW view that says "Government intervention into your life is OK" Hell we all know the government only does things above board and for the betterment of man kind. You old guys just dont get it.........................OOOOOoooooHHHHHHH I am one of those old guys 😵, And I live in North Carolina Regrettably.......................................I do however speak my mind where ever I may be, both my boys have been taught to FREE THINK................I pray some of it has sunk in. Over Reach by the powers that be ? I think so !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOLD A pair of Forte 2's that are getting lonely and need new owners. They sure aren't perfect cosmetically but sound great. Small bottle ring on top of one and another was missing a badge when I bought them. Replaced it with Ebay badge but they don't match up with each other very well. I'm afraid to try to remove either badge for fear of pulling the cloth loose under them. I have the other Ebay badge. I'm thinking $600 for the pair. I'm in NW Missouri. Thanks for looking.SOLD!

We are doing summer baseball!

He just told me to F his A** anyway just wanted to warn you guys Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Whatever makes him happy, a Cornwall without bass, something is wrong.

I have a Puffin and I love it. Besides being very flexible with my different turntables and their respective cartridges the ability to dial in so many parameters is amazing. From air and tilt to balance and bass and treble to Clean. Most of my vinyl is in pretty good shape after over 40 years of listening but the Clean function makes them sound like brand new pristine vinyl. Almost no ticks or pops but no degradation or compression of highs. The Puffin makes the performance of my old Duall 1229 and old Technics 1200 MKii sound like much higher end turntables.

Nice Mike!

WTH. This is awful. Dave and I had fun talking about really old 4 and 8-bit computers and associated technology. He knew his stuff. I never got to meet him but was hoping to someday. code

Those blue horns are cool looking. I would like to hear them.

Dave’s at peace now. He will be missed.

It’s a wonder that Robert hasn’t go blind - how did he manage not to miss a beat

Another very sad day. Prayers for the family. Bill

Very sorry to hear this. However, Dave's chili recipe will live with me forever.

The only person in the house that will hear what he’s measuring is the dog. Also, the only iron core in this group is the one made by UT, everything else is steel laminate. I won’t use the small Erse or the Sledgehammer from Madisound. The laminated plates slide out with vibration. Don’t believe me, just grab them and tap them on the table. I got a pair of Chorus II nets that Crites had built, and some of plates had slid a quarter of the way out of the thing. The best coils are dipped in wax or varnish so there is no air between the windings, and so they don’t move against each or on the core. Coils are measured on the board/in-network, and the values massaged until you get the desired results. If you did your job right - mutual inductance is part of the design, and moving them apart changes the response.

Don’t know if this is the spot to post but watch this person Dawn5000 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those look like 1980s models, with their early style first generation La Scala cabinets and their AL crossovers. They are NOT 2020-2021 AL5s. Maybe the seller thought that the crossover designation referred to the model number. Maybe.

Is anyone? LOL.

sorry to read this...Godspeed... Bill

Sorry to hear this, my condolences to his family. RIP Dave.

This is a very sad surprise. I always respected Dave (didn’t know his first name until now), because he was knowledgeable and pleasant, without ever being condescending. He’ll be missed.

Wow, I was not expecting this. I was talking with him not too long ago about working on his project to bring the Amiga PC platform back to life. RIP Dave.

I spoke with Dave over the years and more so last year --he was always very busy , the last few months were certainly , not ,alike Dave - RIP David Mallette , We all lost a Longtime Moderator on the Klipsch Forum -

there is NO WAY a Cornwall with 15" bass drivers should be lacking ANY bass... regardless of where you place it, how you orient it and with what it's being driven. that being said, if your Denafrips has filter sets, that is where I would start... then I would be interested in what kind of dampening that Amplifier has and if the room might have TO MUCH absorption. Interconnects aren't going to help you with LF.

I listen to at least a little bit of just about everything. I have tons of classical vinyl, though I don't listen to it all that often (they are just sooo cheap at used record shops). I listen to everything from old-school American Blues, Jazz, Gospel, Bluegrass, Old-Time, Big-bands, Ballet, Opera, classic Country, Hip Hop, Rap, Techno, Electronica.... you name it. Catch me in the right mood and you may hear anything from Tchaikovsky to Wu-Tang Clan. My favorite, however, and the bulk of my collection is centered around classic Rock and Roll and all of the sub-genres that orbit it (British Blues, Prog Rock, New Wave, Jam Bands, Pop). I'd have to say my favorite group of all time is Pink Floyd, which I feel is certainly a part of why I love Hi Fi so much. You can't be a PF fan and not want to hear it at its very best. I think they are one of the relatively few rock bands whose recordings sound REALLY good on a quality Hi Fi setup. Getting a better "Dark Side of the Moon" experience has definitely been the driver of many of my audiophile pursuits, haha.

Ha! You guys are killing me with all of this chili, non-chili, sloppers, and whatever else that's been posted here. I'll be taking succinct notes in Hope, I hope! Only thing I've got going for me, besides a craving for this, is the fact I did notice @Mallette had a photo darkroom timer sitting there in one of the pics! THAT I have! lolol
