  2. Got the bike home today. After two years of storage I replaced the battery, a little Marvel oil down the cylinders, some injector cleaner in the fuel and Walla fired right up.

  3. I have a 3 sided album of Diana Krall, Turn up the quiet. Side D is one long, empty track. I can't understand why they didn't put some bonus tracks there. An empty track is useful though, to test gear for instance... But I like Krall's voice better.

  4. The only 3-sided album I’m familiar with is the old Johnny Winter one. The explanation for that album being 3-sided was that there weren’t enough songs for a double album, but if they crammed them all onto a single disc, they would have to compromise the recording level, and the volume would be too low as a result. Is that why this album of yours is like this?

  5. Well true to form, Texarkana Funeral Home screwed the audio pooch on Dave's funeral stream. Obviously, Dave was confused by the universe's largest mixer finally as his disposal and must have gotten the mute button and live to earth buttons crossed. Anyway, the service was typical Presby Mass with hardly a mention of our fair hero, so no great loss. What follows is his brother's heartfelt eulogy at the graveside services. Onward thru the Phogg my friends! Eulogy for David June 17, 2021 My brother, David, loved life fiercely. Life did not always return the favor, but he would bounce back with amazing resiliency from setbacks that would have crippled a lesser man. Perhaps the greatest love in David’s life was for his children, Jennings Elizabeth and Thomas McRae. His love of his first-born, Jennings, was boundless. All children are precious, but Jennings, she was a perfect angel. Her loss at age 13 was a crushing blow to David, and he lived the rest of his life with the confidence of seeing Jennings again on the other side. David was equally overjoyed with the birth of his son Thomas. Thomas was named after his great-grandfather who sired 10 children, including 7 boys. Out of that large family, our Thomas is one of the only two surviving great-grandsons with the Mallette surname. David was a proud U.S. Army veteran of the Vietnam War and was even prouder to learn recently that Thomas has followed his example of national service by enlisting in the U.S. Navy. Second only to his children was David’s love for music, especially organ music and the great pipe organs themselves. He collected over 1500 recordings of classical music and had a special listening room at home where he loved to sit for hours immersed in the music. David also loved, in no particular order, the Cossatot River, steamboats, steam locomotives, and UFO theories. He loved Roman history, Byzantine history, Civil War history, and Church history. He loved theology, genealogy, meteorology and cosmology. He loved player pianos, photography, and videography. He loved Bach, Beethoven and Rachmaninoff, Scott Joplin and Conlan Nancarrow, Star Trek, Dr. Who, and The Three Stooges, and he loved his old dog, Shadow. In addition to being the lover of many diverse interests, David was a great dreamer. He would often just sit, staring into the distance, lost in his own thoughts and oblivious to his surroundings. In elementary school, one of his teachers called our Mom in for a conference. “The problem is,” declared the teacher, “David is a dreamer!” Some problem!! Don’t you wonder, like me, if this old world might be a better place with a few more dreamers? Some of David’s dreams were, let’s just say, better than others. One of his best ideas was the local Regional Musical Heritage Center, which combined his love of music and of Texarkana. In the last few years of his life, he poured much of his remaining time and treasure into the RMHC. It was a noble effort and I hope it can find a way to carry his dream into the future. I know that David, like all of us, was far from perfect. But maybe we who are left behind can learn a few things from his example: to love our family and friends without reservation, to take time to enjoy the finer things in life, such as food, wine, art, and music; and finally, to be unafraid to dream big dreams. To paraphrase that little green poet, Kermit the Frog: “I hope we all find it, That Rainbow Connection, The lovers, the dreamers, and my little brother, David.”

  8. The side stand spring went away long ago. You need to remember I’m old and decrepit, my R75 and R100’s were of the late 1970’s vintage. The side stand on my S1000r sits the bike very upright, little angle and relatively short.

  9. Welllllll, the thing that set off, lol, the rant is that one of the new Yes lps stamped their logo all over the 4th side. Zero on it. Today I went to play "side 4" of an lp, which was stated to be a double lp and there was another blank side? Sure I really did get TWO lp's BUT??? WHY master a side 4 if we can get away with it to cut costs? WE make more money! Well, WE ALL KNOW they have something laying around they save for later. Different versions, etc, they could stick in there. Ya really want some food for thought? Mick is a business wizard! Everyone knows that. See what the Stones are doing now? Releasing different versions of their great old stuff. Ohhhh, a new tweek for an old crowd who loves us. They're all gonna get this new version now too. Gimme,, gimme! Next time you're on the road listen for it w/all their new "old" versions. You're head will do a double-take for sure. THAT I guarantee!

Almost noon here, talked to both daughters already so that's outta the way. Now I'm thinkin it's time to fire up the gas for the hood. This place is funny. Either the neighbors don't mind or they're scared to death to say anything too me but they've GOT to hear me. Couple beside me said it's fine they kinda enjoy listening in the back yard. Two families behind me got a "yea, we can kinda hear it but it's fine." I mean how far can I really push them? Bwa ha ha... Today COULD be the day! It's Father's Day after all. Enjoy yours. Shhhh, I'm comin up with a playlist for them... It's goin DOWN!!! LOL

I see some "normal" temps in the forecast and it was a little overcast this AM. the dew point is going up... we might get some rain, eventually. It has to work up to it. Not like the frontal assault storms. These just bubble up.

  25. This guy? Tommy Bolin's "Energy II" isn't really a bad album but so many don't take into consideration the way things were in the late 60's and early 70's. Sounds were sounds it was how they could improvise and not only sound good but become a God. Started with his group Zephyr, continued workin with The James Gang and even a stint with Deep Purple. Some good stuff with a 15 minute solo burning up all of side 2. A "different" kinda Canned Heat. Some sweet bluesy versions of their stuff. JIMMY ROGERS ALL STARS BLUES BAND - Chicago totally jams the only down side is the fact that it's ANOTHER 3-sided record package! This becomes the norm Imma gonna start a revolution! It's a great album w/appearances by: EC,Fulson, Healey, Mick, Taj Mahal, Page, Plant, Keef and Stephen Stills. I didn't pay too much attention to that until I started listening. I think they did it to play a lil game with us. Who's that in this cut? You been there I'm sure. Does what it's supposed to do though! Of course I saved this til last. Willie Dixon's "I AM THE BLUES" is pretty amazing and one I'd grab again. Yup, it's him. ALL him!

  29. I purchased a Citation II. The important bits and pieces are there and it sounds good but it needs a good going thru. The chassis is in good shape and the transformers are fine. Every other piece, including the boards will be replaced. I'll restore the entire thing to museum quality and when I die leave it to one of my kids.

  31. Unfortunately, the comments that the reviewer made (in another "talking head" review) aren't terribly comprehensive, and too subjective. It's like he wanted to find faults--but couldn't, and was surprised. Perhaps he's used to hearing not-too-good direct radiating loudspeakers that "measure well" (well, except for modulation and compression distortion and directivity control response) but perform rather poorly as compared to well implemented fully horn loaded loudspeakers like MEHs. One of the things I've noticed is that he listens only to pop/rock (and its subgenre) recordings: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0gBVe7rwdZojX41LakrUUy Where I really hear the difference in loudspeakers is not using these types of recordings. YMMV. Some comments by Mr. Danley around the loudspeaker and other designs/experiences on another forum--starting here: https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/upcoming-tom-danley-hifi-speakers.19482/page-5#post-810432

  33. For my own need to know "why", I reviewed tube data sheets and other info. KT88 & Jimbo are correct stating 5751 would be the proper substitution for AX. Not that either need validation, but rather to admit my error. For whatever reason or desired result, I used AT in circuit. Just because it worked in my application doesn’t mean it's correct. It's not a long term solution in a circuit designed for AX as it's not functioning as designer intended; KT88 mentioned above. From what I read NOS 7025 are another alternative.

  36. I have a couple pieces of DAW (digital audio workstation) software, that I occasionally use to record friends. Most would know the name ProTools, but there are a lot of different ones out there, some very expensive, some not so much. Some are free. The one I have and like is Harrison Mixbus 32C, which is based on the mostly open source Ardour. ANyway, on teh Harrison forums is a page were folks can post links to mixes/work they have done using Mixbus. They are interesting to check out. One of them, done by a man in Europe, entered a contest where you could download ALL of the tracks for a song, and submit it. Here's the mix, "The seeds of your sorrow", by the band Spitting Ibex, a band from Vienna, Austria. He put text on the screen to tell what he was doing in the mix. It really can give one an idea what gets done in the mixing...

  38. Seems quite far-fetched to me. I recall reading (or maybe it was on tv) a study where blindfolded expert violinists were asked to indicate whether they were playing a Stradivarius or a modestly priced modern violin, and they guessed wrong as often as they guessed right. The point being that much of what this guy attributes to the glue type is probably mostly between his ears.. And there is a whole lot of that in the audiophile world.
