I have several of the old desirable videophile "letter box" VHS tapes if you're interested 👍
I was a Betamax gambler myself.... about the only thing I regrett tossing in the trash and/or gaving away were all my LP's. No worries with tossing the 8 tracks, cassett's... but ditching the LP's and 45's left a hole in my heart and long standing regrett.

THAT shows your age. And I remember Muntz, sorta like another audio known for similar quality.
You mean like Audiovox?

Also , my advice is that if it’s not bothering you too much , let it go for now , you’ll know when it’s time to get it done . For example , does it hurt at rest ? If not , that’s a very good thing . How much pain are you in when walking ? Is the knee stable? Does it affect your gait? I know a few people that had the surgery and were not happy with the results, something to consider.🤓
Thanks for the reply.... that helps and gives me hope. My mom never recovered 100%, but she waited pretty late in life.
As for the pain, yea, it hurts to walk a bit but I can tolerate it. All was going well until a few months ago when I tried to play soccer with our german shepard, Ace. I pivoted off my right leg and felt a crunch.... at which point it became tender. Few days later had a project that involved a lot of walking and stairs and knee swelled up like a football. Then to the doctors and got the news.

Was told my right knee is shot and needs to be replaced. Left knee isn't far behind, but not near as bad. My mother's words ring in my head..... "Don't put it off, get it done while your still young"..... Those were her words after she had her's done, and she was in her 70's. I'm just 60, but don't feel it... yet.
If you have experience worn knees and total knee replacement, I'd be interested in what you have to say. Doctor says 4 months to full recovery or at least near full recovery.

'responsible'.It wasn't as expensive and I thought it was going to be, but I have some serious questions.Our quote was only $21k all in @ 3.99% for 20 years... But when I priced the panels out myself and it only came to $4,000 (leaving $17k). Surely I am not going to do the job myself and according to the sales person, it's a four hour job and while there some other costs for wiring and an inverter (I will allot another 3$k) that leaves $14k... that's like $3500hr in labor.So lets say, I am paying $100 a month for the system over 20 years, and my monthly payment for wired electricity is $100-$140 (summertime) a month over the same time period, it is basically a wash in terms of capital outlay, and it appears to me that I am paying $21,000 over 20 years for some over priced photovoltaic hardware to sit on my roof.This current generation technology is getting older and older and is probably already outdated before its bolted to my roof.At this point I don't think this is for me... I am not that 'energy conscience'.
For that kind of coin you can go buy a pair of dual axis trackers, each with 42 PV modules. Significantly more efficient than roof mount systems.

As I said, I live only one hour's drive from the Dutch border. And the borders within the European Union are no longer controlled for almost 2 decades.
Hmmm, here in the states we're going on 2 years with no border control.... but still can't cross the hierba buena. Only MS13 gang members and terrorist are allowed, with the occassional latino looking for honest work.

How is it possible to invest in a commodity that's illegal at the federal level?
As far as I'm concerned, CBD is for the birds. I've bought their overpriced over-hyped pain killing creams... they were all BS; I've bought their smokeable herbs/buds... and again, BS; I've also tried the so called Delta 8 vape and it was crap that made my lungs feel like I'd sucked down a rock. As for CBD, I'm with Nancy.... Just Say No.
The only buds that really work are illegal in Texas, so I'm left with Mr Macallan's 12 or 18, in sheery oak variety. Guaranteed ,works every time. Or for those mellow days, a little Chivas Royal Salute is great for when you're feeling blended.

Well, apparently I’m the only one.
My daughter at UT Austin has gotten into the new LEGO puzzle thing...... when she first brough home one of her masterpieces I told her that those were not lego's..... at least not the kind I remember as a youngster. My how times have changed. 3D puzzle called Lego's.
It's pretty cool, but not my thing.

I'm talking cash value.
No, not a clue on the electronic stuff (but like Travis illuded too) there's no pending divorce so all is well......... or at least it was until I dropped a chunck of change on a new in-shore fishing boat. She pouted for a few weeks until last week, when I stopped by the Americus Diamond store and told her to pick out a ring... moral of the story "Happy Wife, Happy Life".

Which in your opinion klipsch series is the best?
From Klipsch, I think most if not all will agree that the "Heritage" line-up contains their best offerings; from there, check your available space, your speaker choices and then check your wallet.

O'Ryan Island.... if you were fortunate enough to get their CD then you know they were fanatical about sound quality. Youtube doesn't do them justice but it's a whole lot bettr than nothing. This was one great album from beginning to end.

I need some help finding a cabinet for my 10B. Would prefer an original (I think?), but if you know someone with significant experienced making customs audio gear cabinets, that would also be an option..... thanks in advance.

Everytime I go inshore fishing I stop by my favorite mom & pop sushi joint. It's a little hole-in-the-wall place that would make you think twice about stopping, it's called "Sushi Luck". But the guy's reputation is well known by the locals. The joint is a modest little house owned by an ole Japanese fellow and his wife. Luckily the ole gal speaks broken english (husband speaks none, but authoratatively grunts and barks. He reminds me of the soup nazi from Seinfeld. His sushi is utterly out of the world, but if you want to change something on the menu, you'll go through great pains to convince him. Anyway and the reason for my post, he has this product called "CAT 5" which he doesn't push, but on a shelf behind the sushi prep station he has about 20 to 30 of these tiny jars, see pic. A a local friend of his produces the product right there in Rockport; I like Rockport because it's only a couple hours drive and I'm in the water, not as remote or beautiful as lower laguna madre.
This stuff is great on all the food I've used it on, even popcorn. Great product with a good sting,.... ice cream not included.

Based on the title, I thought this thread would be about the latest bitcoin scandal. Carry on...... and by the way, ole Louie looks to be stressing out on this wonderful day.

The classical concerts and operas that I attend involve no use of electronics. The sound is 100% natural. There are no electronic instruments. The classical concerts and operas that I attend do NOT use a sound reinforcement system – IOW, the orchestra’s sound and singers’ voices are not amplified.
Thanks for the clarification. That is a "Real" concert, about as real as it gets.

I think it is all the more important to have experienced many "real" concerts, the more reference points there are for a beautiful simulation.
What's a "Real" concert?
It seems to me the concert sound is heavily dependent, if not totally dependent, upon the sound technician aka Audio/Sound Engineer.

Now that's funny.

The political inference was more than likely due to the number of frequent flyer miles racked up by a former teflon coated president on the Lolita Express.
