Sounds like a dentist's tool! That Steely Dan album for €5... That's a steal! (sorry, woke up in the middle of the night... just had to check you guys out!)

followed by the american band The Motels , their debut from 1979 , Capitol Records

and your´s look like an old dod matrix printer

@MicroMaraI hope you realize that anything you play from now on, even the Commodores, will sound like hard rock... (also known as granite)

They were good at the peak of Motown Soul / Funk and RNB , The Commodores " All the great Hits " A&M Records

This is a live album, and the soundstage is incredibly complex! What a fine record!

a couple of weeks ago I spun the album Peter Gabriel " 4 " as " Das deutsche Album " that means Gabriel sung all texts in german language. This time I´m spinning the original english album , sound more familiar to me....

All the carts I have and use are from the 70s & 80s era or close to it

So let me say @MicroMara your upgrade to Luxury Class Mercedes sound happened with that pretty little gold colored cart? The Audio-Technica? Check and see if it's one of their better fine line (Shibata) cut needles. Hi @MeloManiac that tt was pricey when I got my first component stereo system. I went with one of their belt drive tts that drove me nuts until I got the Yamaha direct drive. Is that the stock replacement cart on yours that has the good full sound? If so it is probably an A-T also. Those two companies stuck together back around that time. Y'all might be catching on to what I fell into knowledge about in the early eighties.

The ebay auction on e-bay Germany has ended at 9.03 pm. My old vinyl friend was auctioned by a German buyer , although many europeans had bid. He was sold for $ 1,092. I am quite satisfied with this result.

@MicroMara, you DO realize you have to take alllll new photos w/that new table... 😂😂😎

A few evenings back, heard some chittering on my back deck and took a look. Some nighttime visitors hanging out like they own the place. Down rezzed and nighttime flash, so not the best pic.

Lockheed Martin is currently testing in the Desert --a 6th Generation Jet Fighter , the Sonic boom on these planes is much louder than an F22 ,

It was @RandyH001

Spinning the last record tonight ..Steely Dan " Gaucho " 1980, MCA Records

Cool, I don't have any I put away while they were still good. Plus I sold that last mid range mm cart when I went with the mc I love that is 300 miles north of me locked away right now!

these are another sneaky @oldtimer

You sure it wasn't @oldtimer? Word on the street is he loves Linn tables. Maybe he stepped up his game to a micro??? He's sneaky like that!

Are those for China?

... waiting for the frost to melt. I'm seeing a distiller in Tucson got a whiskey listed in the top 100 by a ,, this is where I wonder about credibility, wine judging organization. Or is this the same that rates alcohol in general? Our peace and quiet was disrupted by the sharpest sonic boom I have every heard. It sounded like an explosion ... too near. Was almost a crack type sound. Leads me to think the atmospheric conditions were just right or the plane was at a low/er altitude... IDK

I know La Platine Verdier ....even heavy duty gear , like yours @mustang_flht http://www.jcverdier.com/ADSL/Nouvelle_Platine.html

Hi, Speaking of turntable, I had a beautiful English Linn Sondek LP12, then in 1981 I replaced it with a large turntable designed by a master of the vinyl world: Pierre Lurné (for example he made the T3 and T5 arms for Goldmund, and the famous Audioméca turntables and Lurné arms). I ran this MINIMUM Turntable for 25 years, but today, this turntable and in a cupboard in my garage, one day I would have to reassemble it and restart it after a nice restoration. This turntable was one of the first heavy turntables (around 120lb) and if you are observant you will see that many turntables from the 90s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s are inspired by this icon. Unfortunately I don't have a photo of my MINIMUM turntable running and there is no photo on the net. I contacted Vinylengine to give them a scan of this 1980 article from the Audiophile magazine to include it in their database: the article is visible under Pierre Lurné / Audioméca Look there and tell me if you can read this article from MINIMUM http://6bm8.lab.free.fr/Documentations/Revues/Audiophile/1977-1988/18/MINIMUM/MINIMUM.html

F Y I ...... The perfect 3-dimensional Tonearm Installation tool called " The Protracor " , thought this information makes sense . Made in Germany You can read the manual in english language ..... http://www.feickert.org/fileadmin/bilder/Downloads/Protractor_BDA_2011_mail.pdf This is how it looks like

I was wondering if there is any interest in an industrial home theater? I have 2 KP-250’s, 2 LaScala split industrial speakers with aluminum edging and the fiberglass matting, and 2 CP-1 industrial Cornwall. I have had a major hospital stay and won’t be able to get pictures till this weekend. I was thinking 4,000 is a fair price. Would like to sell as a group. Thanks Tom.

A buddy of mine reached out to me on these and I passed since I already have the Forte. Full disclosure, I know him, and he is a local buyer and seller. He generally specializes in ADS speakers though. I have done business with him in the past, and It was nothing but positive. A SUPER stand-up guy. I’m not getting anything out of it, I would just like them to end up with somebody who really loves Klipsch. This is one of the most extraordinary pair I have ever seen. https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/ele/d/mission-viejo-klipsch-quartet-speakers/7421888531.html

I purchased a pair of the a55g-2's to replace my original a55g's. For me the original a55g's were a significant upgrade to the forty year old k55v's that came with my Cornwalls. In my system the a55g-2's are a big step up in resolution over the first version. At the same time there is an ease to the music which makes everything flow more naturally. IMHO this is a really nice upgrade.

I did that in the past as well, anytime I spun a record I made a new pic, allready deleted lot´s pics in my attachments , because it´s limited up to 150 mB and there are many pics that I can´t erase because they´re needed for my other technical topics

Load what you can speakers first then tell them "you'll be back." 🤣

Quantity has now changed to 100-- this may be the new source for these diaphragms as they seemed to have dried up at our typical sources.

Chorus yes...

Players opting out of bowl games https://www.si.com/college/mississippistate/football/mississippi-state-football-head-coach-mike-leach-player-opt-outs-texas-tech-liberty-bowl-charles-cross "You've got an obligation to the place that helped build and develop you and finish it out in the bowl," he said. "That's part of it. You owe it to your team, you owe it to your fans, you owe it to your coaches and it’s the most bizarre thing in the world to me." I tend to agree with him. Are bowl games not important? Insignificant to the program? You want to finish out the year with a win

Urbs is done coaching for sure https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/urban-meyer-fired-ex-jaguars-kicker-josh-lambo-says-he-was-kicked-by-former-coach-during-warmups-in-preseason/ Would any D1 program hire him now? Would he even want to coach

I am reading two Advent devotionals. Very good reads and I highly commend them to you.

“but that boxy “stuffy nose” bass sound was still there, obnoxious as ever.” I think part of what you’re hearing is purely the sound of horn loaded bass from a LS. Dont expect LS bass to sound warm or full. They have what I would call a “lean” bass sound. Snappy, forcefull, powerful.....sure, but they will never have the same bass tonality as a bass reflex or sealed box system. Not even the same as a K horn. Even when you tame the side wall resonance & try anything else you like, you can’t change the basic sound signature of the cabinet design. Just my 2 cents worth after spending time with Klipsch heritage & other famous vintage brands that shall remain nameless on this forum.

Oh Yeah 😀 Love Macy 🍻 https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=0qYHhvuy-sY&list=OLAK5uy_mCagh1NvvycnWNM8GimqiGjMHESL55bFM

ARC Angels anyone??? I think Good Stuff 🍻 https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=d1Hru8mp5T0 https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=CHUcRYXVwgg&list=RDAMVMCHUcRYXVwgg

Picked up, but will not get to listen to them until after Christmas. Smooth transaction. Great guy. Sent from my moto g stylus using Tapatalk

To make a long story short, the sonic difference with the same pickups between the Micro Seiki DQX 500 and the DQX 1000 is the same as a mid-range Mercedes Benz to the absolute luxury class.

wanna see

Looks pretty sittin here. Snagged a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue last week to go with a full bottle of Green and an open bottle of Green. I'm a hoarder you guys know that! 😂 Ohio is having their annual drawings for the high dollar bourbon now. 1 bottle per person IF you're lucky enough to get drawn for one after you register for the drawing. Hopefully I'll get an email soon telling me I won and where to pick it up and pay for it. Fat chance! Remember "Drink responsibly" hahaha

If you have the room and can find a pair of Chorus, that would be a nice upgrade from the Kg4. I’ve had a few pair of Kg4 and really liked them. The Chorus is definitely a big level up though.

There's no shortage of people, haters and fans alike, that have poked fun at Hamilton's clothing. Aside from being one of the best of all time F1 racers, he also fancies himself a clothing designer, and at one time, a rap artist. While his success inside the F1 arena has deservedly earned him a "Knighthood", a la Sir Jackie.... His ventures into Clothing Design and Rap Music have, how do we say..... fallen short of his expectation. Personally, after seeing him in that first all purple clown suit with matching socks, about 2 years ago, I thought, "Do street pimps still wear that shyt."
