This reminds me of my childhood days. Growing up in Western Berlin, this was what my parents listened to on the radio, AFN Berlin & RIAS 2. My father liked Motown:

David is always welcome: Notice the artistic placement of the price tag...

Went thru that Alan Parson's lp again this evening and it really is one to grab. It's that good! Here's the entire lp... Crank it and smile!

We all are lost in music .....

A trip to Arizona to see old friends, also went to the top (as far as public access is allowed) of Mt. Lemmon and Taliesin West, the Frank Lloyd Wright home and studio inn Scottsdale.

Morning easy listening

Retro Spirit, Randy California Great live when I saw them in their prime 1976 ish Rolling Rock slide Spirit ~ Rockpalast 1978 (Full concert) RANDY CALIFORNIA AND SPIRIT - RADIO BROADCAST 1974

Still an excellent show George! That Golden Earring song was on the radio as much as something from Hotel California or Freebird back in the late 70s where I was. Still on Little Feat here.

Too cool and clammy out there, stocked up... so I'm on my second pot of coffee enjoying the improved sound here. If Linda sounds great, it's all good!

no pics... Have a hankering for some Uncle Joe Jame's Gang "Thirds"

There is an installation by Dale Chihuly at the house.

You Better Get Your Coat Dear-It Looks Like Rain

Big wave riding is fun to watch. Fairly impressive how fast they have to go to catch the wave and also the speed of their ride. By the way, the music in the vid is from Erik Satie, a composer I listen to from time to time.

well ...if it´s 11 hz or 8 hz ..can be measured but can´t be audible for human ears .....don´t take it too seriouse ...😉.

years ago i ordered the 7704 and when it arrived it was the 7705 merry chrismas to me 500 dollars difference love it made my projector picture outstanding from what i was using. $500 receive would love to get the 8805 series

Will do!

And yes man...let us know the difference please. Thanks!

Thanks for the detailed info and link in your previous reply! I'm working with the other variables mentioned in those as well. Just needed some confirmation that I'm moving in the right direction and that I understand cart compliance and tonearm mass and their relation to each other. I actually have the cart mounted to a headshell that brings the mass of my arm to 14g right now. The ATHS1 headshell I'm using for that cart also accepts a screw in weight so I've picked up a 2g weight which brings the total mass of the arm to 16g. Much easier than changing headshells. Will be working with that this week and will take note of any changes. Thanks again!

How much eggs shells did you counted ?

Y'all like huh? Dixie Chicken is over so now: Last up is the first one I had. Title track on the radio made me buy it. Again from the record fair at the trade mart downtown another promo that amazingly still does not have a single scratch on it! *My amps have low frequency controls and a single rca out on each for the sub(s). Looked at SB3000s to add another to my rig? Price is up more than 30% since I got mine. nope.

fugetaboutit Spending the rest of the day here! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2yDvhqCa4kEgk9TzWtlbA

.... and ya get down to the ones that are barely split.... wouldn't know anything happened yesterday. Sun is blazing. The ground is a little soft. I'll have to look better, but I'm thinking we got close to 1/2in of rain. That will bring the weeds up. The plants, down here, are amazing. If the seed sprouts, it will make seed/s. The plant might be an inch tall.

no tt pics here either, I'm onto "From the Mars Hotel" now.

Today's am tunes

That's easy, at least you didn't try to count the pismashio shells! Yep pismashios... you would have to have been there when we were snowed in for that five day weekend. One line in this describes it well Good morning All!

@JohnJ I was counting egg shells in that waste basket. 😂 Monday was tax prep which sucked beyond belief. lol Funny how kids laff at old ppl and politics always whining about taxes... Some day they might get it. Maybe! THEN I headed out for a 1.5 hour drive each way to my dentist's office. Walked in and his receptionist says, "What are you doing here? Your appointment is Wednesday @ 2 not today. Back in the car and another 1.5 hours home. THAT is totally out of character for me to screw up like that. So took a day off today and to a VM. Yup, one of the girls at the office calling me to "remind" me of my appt on WEDNESDAY @ 2. THEN I got a phone call from one of the other girls later reminding me again. Yup, you're right I got ANOTHER reminder a while later. TOMORROW they pay! hahaha. Gonna tell 'em they need more to do. hahaha Talking 75 tomorrow w/wind gusts possibly 50mph. SOME day it may just break and become spring again.

I'm lurkin... 😂

in conclusion:

also...

OT New pc is built, has been for days... getting win11 to half-way cooperate took two days. The software for the mb is so convoluted I had to wipe and re-do everything yesterday on a new ssd. The new motherboard has the best sound I've ever had on a pc. Roy Buchanan, Alan Parsons then Johnny Guitar with flat response just proved that to me! It's got the Realtek S1220 with an ESS® ES9023P. SN out is 120dB, up to 32-Bit/192kHz! In other words my sound just got upgraded. Will attempt the DTS software next. Thanks for the great testing material! *stole that from Tweaktown's site @Full Range I've got all of those except that particular Genesis... Good List from back then @MeloManiac ...back to our regularly scheduled programming

Hate To Say I Told You So

some more good vibrations ?

JA, sehr gut @Dave1291 ( Yes , very good ) Das hier auch ( That´s also )

I have experience with the Altec 604E. It was used (along with other speakers) at Wally Heider recording studio and Swanson sound services. The sound reminded me of Klipsch and JBL horny highs, but without quite as much very high frequency "air," "sizzle," "zing," etc., etc. I could live with any of the above. Here are some curves. The 604Es I knew were c. 1974 in large bass reflex enclosures. They were fine. As I remember, they were a bit warmer -- less steely -- than the Voice of the Theater A7, not as powerful sounding as a Klipschorn, or the big, old, studio monitors of the '70s like the JBL4350 (two 15" woofers, a low mid, high mid [horn], and super tweeter), or the Paragon, etc. With studio monitors, I found that getting used to what you used was the key. Engineers, producers, musicians, students, intimate partners, etc. would take first generation copies home, or over to the friend's house with the good sound system, and think, "that needs a little more/less treble/bass/midrange," etc. and gradually get a sense of how the balance, transparency, etc. of the monitors that lived at the studio with which they were familiar compared to the speakers "out there." Of the readily available speakers out there, for music in general, not necessarily strings, I'd guess that the Klipsch Jubilee might be the best (haven't heard it yet), then the Klipschorn (have lived with them happily for the past 45 years, and put in two factory upgrades), then the Klipsch La Scala AL5 (definitely needs a subwoofer below 60 Hz, IMHO), then the Altec 604- 8H-111 (haven't heard it), then the 604E, both in large, ported enclosures. The Klipsch Forte III might be a contender (haven't heard it). In the good old days, you might be able to walk into a store and hear the models of each of these current in that time, sitting there side by side. Around 1980, Pro Audio (Oakland), Christopher's Audio (Berkeley), Berkeley Custom Electronics and you might have run into Paul Klipsch, Joe Minor (engineer and owner of Berkeley Custom) and Arthur Fiedler, conductor of the Boston Pops -- who knows? But that was then.

😂 What a groove. Every song on his "Stompin Ground" lp is great. Just boogie the night away!

Happy to answer questions and take photos/measurements as needed.

William is good. Thanks for understanding
