Now on to side B.......closeup of the Ortofon Blue... Heading to bed after this one. More tomorrow.......have a good evening.

Good evening / morning friends! Just winding down to listen to some music on the UTurn and system from Denmark. So, brought up some LP's from the library. Right now, it is YES. Side A begins.....

Holy guacamole! Heard the mailman throw down a box on the porch yesterday. Checked on it last night and this box was huge. Yup, the $150 BBA box set had arrived. The box set was in a box INSIDE of an outer box and it must weigh 10#. lol Just unzipped the box and figured it was time for a tease. FINALLY a box set that's worth the money. Two double gatefolds of each show, a very nice bound book w/tons of info, a poster and an unbound book full of pics and more info. Gonna throw 'em down in a bit but I'm salivating. Here we go and I'm gonna savor the moment! Two killer shows! Better jump cause the price is gonna go up. Gonna grab a second one and just leave it sealed. Beans & weiners for another month! 😂💪

These are some pics of the new 300B amplifier that Aric Kimball (Aric Audio) has been building for me. It is burning in right now and is scheduled to ship out to me on Monday. Very excited.

I'm humbled... I brought my €260 Denon micro system downstairs and hooked it up to my 1972 Heresies. Thought my €3,000 Leben CS300 tube amp would be the easy winner of this 'battle', but the Denon holds firm ground! The Denon's 40 wpc made my son come downstairs to turn down the volume. It wasn't even half open. He said his bed was shaking!!!! 😂😂😂 Of course, the Heresies are the shining stars here! PS The Denon is soooo much better than my similarly priced Marantz PM5005 entry level amplifier. So now, let's spin some vinyl!

ALL I can say is holy sheet this is the TOTAL package! On side 1 of the Japan tour starts off w/"Superstition" and just keeps rollin. Freaking great already and Beck's' slayin it. Haven't jumped into who's doing what yet but I'm sittin here shaking my head. Soooo darn clean and tight, amazing soundstage and runnin 70-80db's consistantly. Amazeballs at just how perfectly this has been done. Crazy good. Double thumbs up for sure so ya better jump all over it. Now Beck's just runnin those high notes slayin it. Yea, it's perfection and time to flip to side 2. MORE goodness! I'm done & you better get huntin if you haven't ordered it. Thank me later! F it forget the weiners buy 2 and be done w/it! It just doesn't stop! When they're gone they're gone! Forget the weiners!

@grasshopper Sorry to hear about that second wifey. Good thing mama bear did some nosin. Man that kind of stuff makes me wonder. I think the oldest checks to see if I'm on line daily. At least that's what she told me. lol Otherwise I could be laying around for days blowing up like a small Goodyear blimp. My buddy the mailman keeps an eye on things too. lol He's getting close to retirement though. The lil hotty that's gonna replace him just doesn't have it figured out yet. lol Normal today. He gives me a couple days to get my mail and if I don't he's bangin on the front window laffin at me. Cruel and unusual punishment for sure. That Kona is like drinking JP4 for me. I put on my roller skates when I drink that stuff. Lil tune for ya weather wise. Enjoy!

Frank’s is fine for a little mild flavor. My youngest prefers Texas Pete. we go through a large bottle every few weeks

@Scott Grammer, If you are looking for a pair of T2As, I might suggest checking flea bay for some used crossover boards on the cheap. They’re usually in pretty nice shape as they live inside a sealed box. Not only do you get your autoformers, but you also score the boards and barrier strip terminals, in addition to whatever else makes up that particular crossover. For example the 2.5mH woofer inductor. It is relatively easy to rework an “E” or “B” into something else that suits your goals. If a 12dB woofer filter is what you’re after, “E-2” and other boards using the 4mH woofer inductor come up often as well. If you’re patient you’ll probably get a pair of crossovers for $100 plus shipping.

Not sure I’d say “all”

Vanilla Fudge... Carmen Appice, Tim Bogert... Cactus. Jeff got in accident so BB&A were delayed... enjoy...

I can't tell ya how shocked I was, hearing that an audiophile who can afford the wieners part....... BTW nice catch there!

Goals brother, gotta have goals. Then you too can have piles! 💪 😂 😂😂😂

To quote Ash:" Oh my god, it´s growing!"

Stack ´em higher Dave! 😄

I'm SERIOUS! As if!!! 😂💪😂 I'll MAKE some room somewhere! Yea, don't buy the singles or double gatefolds just wait on the box sets said no real audiophile EVAAAAH! Just picked up a Miles Davis I've been waiting for and something else today. Time for Russian roulette! lol

While we’re waiting. I bought a HK430 for my CWIVs last week and a WiiM Pro plus and I’m loving it. The guitars on ‘Achilles Last Stand’ have the best tone to them I’ve ever heard.

still in the eye of the hurricane. Weather is being closer to normal. Sunny and dry . Just like when it wasn't sposed to be. ------------------------------ had a scare yesterday. You could consider this a PSA My other wife [wife's secretary] Didn't show up for work and wife had talked to her the evening before... Very much not like her.... Wife did a welfare check... The gal had fallen. Couldn't get up... couldn't reach her phone. Broke her hip and collarbone. ....if it weren't for her being missed at work [like if this happened on the weekend], the outcome could have been very bad. I am not endorsing any particular product or service. ------------------------------- on the lighter side when we bought this place, we got an unusual perk. Spaces in the town cemetery........ that cinched the deal -------------------------------- an "on-topic" comment. Mark your calendars drinking this medium/dark roast Kona. A little cream ans sugar makes it pretty good. I need to look at my grinder. The selector for amount the machine grinds has gotten temperamental. Hoping it just needs the coffee dust cleaned from it. We have a couple back-up grinders.... burr mills... hand crank

Awful lot going on here

VERY PLEASANT RETROSPECTIVE ASTRUD GILBERTO Stan Gets on lots of tracks 1 Hr program from Indiana University https://indianapublicmedia.org/afterglow/the-girl-from-ipanema-astrud-gilberto.php About Afterglow Afterglow is a weekly one-hour program of vocal jazz and popular song from the American Songbook, hosted by Mark Chilla. Each week, Mark highlights the best of vocal jazz and popular song from the 1930s to today, exploring a new topic about the greatest jazz singers, songs, and songwriters.

The inductance of the entire T2A is not listed, so just multiply the inductance between Taps 0-3 by four to get 45.6mH.

No Sir, no piles for me! 😄 What I do know: The books above my LPs are definitely temporary. Got a load of new and used LPs on the way. 😂

@Full Range They'll be ready but my biggest concern is all the youngins on that offensive line. QB has to have at least 2.5 seconds to throw the ball to the spot then ya pray the receiver is gonna be there in time to catch it. It's ALL about the timing. The more time he has the more accurate he can be. Going to be the biggest game that those youngin's have ever been in. They looked better last week but it's now time to start gelling as a unit. It's that way with all those top teams in the standings. Time to GRIND now and see what shakes out. The opposition naturally tries to exploit the weakness somehow. Those boys, win or lose, will become Men after this game, either way! ALL college teams have their rivalary's. It's SOP. lolol Wondering where those two are that were gonna give me 50 points??? I'd even take a check. If it doesn't clear after the game I'd just frame 'em and find a place to hang 'em! 😂💪😂

OSU just needs to rub it in their face and win

@Full Range slip back up and look at the rankings from last week. Nah, that's just the way they roll against us. Word is OSU is talking about having a "Red Out" when Penn State visits. Penn State is known for their "White Out's" against other teams since their colors are blue and white. Just sharin the love. Funny how they took the time to insure there wasn't a huge block of OSU fans in one place. lol Took it to another level. Gonna be a battle for sure! SOMEone's gonna win but we'll see.

Looks like cheating on the peripheral

Well it's Thursday (ETA of Tuesday) and no OP. I hope he hasn't gone into aural overdose with those new horns.

Thank you for the warm welcome! Been a lurker for a long time and glad to be part of the community now :).

I do🙄

And are cult leaders any different than government officials? Why should the population be limited to only listening to one kind of cult leader? "Domino effect" "WMD" " Vaccines are safe " Aren't those as dangerous as any other cultish claims? Big companies don't have to host conversations---They choose to do it to make money. once they make that choice they have an obligation to serve the public fairly. If Facebook doesn't want to publish the public thoughts they should close down and go into another field. In spite of their absurd claims to the contrary they have agreed to be a "public square." Again, if one assumes information is dangerous per se, the word becomes a singular religion.

It is literally " information that is not consistent with government narratives."

From what I've seen of FleaBay prices for Klispch crossovers, I'd have to be REAAAAAALLLY patient to get a pair for $100. But If I do see that, I'm jumping on it.

All of Dave's info is abit dated now...nice.

Saw a YT vid yesterday of Dr. Berg. He says anyone(himself included) who posts alternative medicine vids on YT is going to be censored or banned..more UTTER nonsense.

You're just getting your toesies wet brother. No piles, temporary books and a load on the way. As PWK would say "Bullshit." Remember I'm the one that's gonna out live Keef. You're sooooo screwed! Better get started on that next set of shelves.

@DanSoloRocker Hadn't thought about selling my (minty) pair but I'm not married to them. Original owner and purchased thru an authorized dealer. Also still have boxes and packaging inserts. Albuquerque, NM

@Full Range , my doughter arrived in Sydney last night , she went to the sidney opera house and sent me a pic , it´s early springtime downunder now. She will stay a couple of weeks in australia , but I ´dont know her schedule . I´ll keep you updated

Ah yes! Alternative facts. I have heard that somewhere, I believe it was coined by an inveterate liar. Because, right wait, I remember another saying that the truth isn't the truth. Relativism at its logical extreme leads the ignorant down the path of total confusion resulting in the complete maleability of their minds. Critical thinking is the first casualty, and studies have shown that one cannot change others opinions through the exposition of facts. We are living Orwell's nightmare of mind control through the bastardization of language.

ezsdad, I have some older RF3s that I enjoyed for number of years. To imagine the difference in sound picture this. The CWIVs sound how they look like they would comparatively. The thinner towers sound great but…thinner. The Cornwalls sound big and beefed up with more midrange and body.

I imagine it was a tough decision to move to Oxnard and close the Vancouver shop. Oxnard is a happinin' place for luthiers. Guild and Cordoba are also building there, Taylor and Fender are in CA as well. Lot's of great guitars being made these days, including those made in Mexico.

sounds like the 308 GT4 or Mondial frames , these cars were really meant for California twisty roads vs NYC potholes .

On a technical level sure different metals have different conductive properties but it's such a minuscule difference there is absolutely no way it can be audible. So long as your connections are tight and clean, no oxidation, the minor differences in metal properties is moot.

Hi guys, been ages since I've been on here. Union stagehand/audio guy now, totally without gigs for 9 months now. Anyway, thanks for the love! yer buddy, Michael Colter ps it'll be interesting to see if I have a signature after this, I totally forget.
