    How do you regulate something that no one understands?

    This government would like to regulate, control and tax everything it touches -

    China is Raping the land of Africa right now... they are taking over/have taken over much of the continents natural resources.

    Yes they are and have, nothing new but very much under reported. Nothing to see here, move on. The good ol’ USA had better wake up - oops I forget, we are woke.

    Everything. I was shocked seeing the new price for a pair of LaScala's a couple of days ago. I does not seem that long ago that a pair was around 8 grand. Now over 13 grand. I am sure that price will keep a lot of potential buyers from ever enjoying the sound of these wonderful speakers. But the price of a fast food hamburger has gone up a lot too. 


    So true and with that in mind - “I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today” - 🍔

    Although my Underground’s were used the original owner kept and shipped them in OE boxes. Stripped them down in the garage then me and my stepson carried them to the basement. Heavy, bulky and worst of all oddly shaped. But we managed. Movers had the honors when we moved and struggled going Up the stairs. Got off easy moving them into a walkout basement - pusssyss

    I owned Peach and Blueberry, maybe one or two of each when they were the “go to” years back on this here forum. Each one I owned was noisy no matter the  tube type. Noise and hiss were their only attributes IMO. Sold ‘‘em all as quickly as possible and never looked back. I always scratched my head as to all the fuss, I never heard it -

    No, reality.  I assure you I know & can hear the differences between my 300B, KT88 and SS amps. It ain't rocket science; it's listening.

    IMO comparing these amps is akin to the apples-oranges-watermelon comparison. These are so different that yes, you can easily hear differences. Where it becomes difficult is comparing say a Benchmark to Hypex nc400 where they both have vanishing levels of distortion and background noise. I have both and it’s a coin flip to distinguish one from the other. More often than not it is the recording sounds “different”. It’s examples like this that make the “all amps sound the same” relevant.

    Not as hot as it does get up there in the vicinity of Alamance County but that's too hot for your brews!

    Today did turn out to be the scorcher they fluctuated over down here. In case the sparkling water plant I get mine from gets burned down I got three cases today, lots of lime. Then some other stuff I've been doing without I mentioned a couple weeks ago I was gonna get before it is gone came in too. So the bonfire was especially hot a little while ago.

     

    Did y'all realize that since Jan of 2021 that 95 food processing plants have just gotten destroyed? Chickens and turkeys all over, big 3 or 4 day fire in Winston Salem at that fertilizer plant last year. Lots more

     

    Have any fake-beef plants or tofu extracting plants met their demise?

    Did not see it on that publicized list last week.

    duck-it and see

    He owns a cannon and his name is Richard (same as me and @richieb) of course he wants to do something stupid. Though I must admit the "cannon worm" is a pretty cool name....but no way to resolve this problem.

     

    BTW, this is the best Lounge thread in the past 5 years. I can't wait to see how it winds up. I hope with a bang!

    Hey, don’t drag me into a contest of stupidity on name association only. While I’ve done one, possibly two stupid things in my life they were on my own accord. You two are on your own —

    I have the J2 and really like it. Got rid of my VRDs and Wright 2A3 mono blocks and have zero regrets. My only beef with the First Watt lineup is that more of them don't have balanced connections. I'd likely try a few more variants beyond the J2 if only they were.

     

    EDIT: Just looked back at the first page. I'm now so old I'm repeating myself. 😲
