  1. It is a creative approach to house building. However, it's obvious the architect never heard a corner horn
  2. Stay away from the Craigslist Cornwall's with the cane grills. They have been for sale for months and months. Overpriced for sure but perhaps an ongoing scam
  3. Well maybe "great" is a bit overblown. Interesting though, but: No corners https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/5939-Fieldstone-Rd_North-Chesterfield_VA_23234_M62130-09032
  4. I'm about a hour away. If she needs help when she relist's I'll try to lend a hand.
  5. So Klipsch has stopped using "Monster Cable" in their speakers? Gee, I'm sure they only used Monster Cable because it was the bestest there ever was, and not a marketing juggernaut. Does anybody in the cable world even realize that RCA cables are a specification? That speaker cable is a connector? I've said it before and I'll say it again, anything outside of the specification is simply turning a connector into some form of attenuator. Sure you can hear a difference, because they are deliberately messing with the signal. Yes I'll pay a few bucks more for a cable made with better copper, but anything beyond that is goofyville.
  6. Lost the auction, but back in the day, just the thought of her (quite frankly never knew she also sang) would send me into erotic bliss (hee, hee).
  7. You're going to enjoy them. Listened to a pair purchased a few months ago, about two weeks ago, so broken in, and in my ftiends home. I loved them. However, the sound shades more towards the old LaScalas than the old Cornwalls, so not as much of the old "phat' sound, far more accurate and altogether enjoyable. Oh yeah, owned a pair of '74 Cornwalls until 3/4 years ago when, thanks to this Forum, I ended up with a $500 pair of Khorns. (which I drive mostly with my $50 Marantz8b, same as with the Cornwalls).
  8. So at 5am I gotta figure the fish are so startled they just jump in the pan.

  10. Al Dimeola, "Mediterranean Sundace" Al on one channel, Paco de Lucia on the other.
  11. Well slap my head! Of course. I'll contact his son.
  12. Thanks guys. Can't send him a message via the forum, that's why I posted here. A former member bought some ALK 5800's and Es-400's in the garage section. We've both heard them and they aren't quite right. I figured Dean could work his magic on them. Al's backed up for months. I thought he'd moved his trade over to Facebook or something, but maybe he's through. I haven't spoken to him in years so I can't call him. Probably not a simple cap swap. Gonna need some measurements. My buddy is Klipsch fanatic. He even read books with math in them and stuff, in order to properly treat his room, which has big wall cylinders, ceiling treatments and other nifty stuff.
  13. For some reason I can't contact you by message. Are you still in the xover biz? Got a small project for you.
  14. Recent report about China's bitcoin mining. Projected to peak in 2024 at about 297 terawatt hours, generating about 130 million metric tons of carbon emissions. The Fed can produce about $1 trillion in dollars for about $5 in computer time. A trillion in actual physical currency, for a few million dollars. Paper money you can at least wipe your butt with it, if inflation goes crazy like in the Wiemar Republic. Silver and gold, have other, probably better uses than using them as currency, and digital currency has no intrinsic value but can certainly help wreck the planet. Once again capitalism, run-amok, greed and the gullibility of the masses triumphs over all.
  15. Got two sentences/thoughts/gibberish that need to be converted into megahits. The first one is a song title that popped into my head one day. I think blues, rock or even, (yuck) country would work. So here we go! "The Bar of Life" (c 2021) Copyrighted you buttheads so don't steal my only means out of increasingly dire poverty) Now is that a cool title or what! Come up with a song, we'll belly up to The Bar of Life and I'll buy you a tall one. The 2nd could launch the new, newer wave of Psychedelia. Are you ready? Here we go: "Kaleidoscope on the Wind" (c 2021) Copyrighted you buttheads so don't steal my only means out of increasingly dire poverty) If my buddy Timothy was still on this astral plane he'd be inside and outside of his mind over this. So get out to a cow pasture after a rain storm, search the meadows for that shroom of a sentence or two that will deliver us to a cosmic groove. So whose with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  16. Well I see one of the singers did a double tap on their arm, using my two finger meme, so my idea is spreading. Rich boomers are all over the place. Me, I'd have to work for five to ten years just to earn what they blew making that spot.

    Double Shotted!

    I'm thinking you one shot guys and guys getting your first one, should use the thumb and index finger shaped like a pistol and then just shoot the "pistol" into your arm.

    Double Shotted!

    Alright dudes this is not about you or me, and whether we got a shot. It's about a temporary change in the language to capture a moment, a spot in time. Think : Hot Rod Psychadelic Over There Groovy Whatever. Trying to build a catch phrase here. Can you dig it?

    Double Shotted!

    I think this may be the perfect phrase to re-purpose as an expression or to be used by someone whose had their two Covid shots. Previously used to describe using two cannon balls in a smooth-bore cannon, or a shortcut phrase for a double espresso, and who could forget bellying up to the bar and asking for a double-shot. There should also be a gesture that quickly conveys you are double shotted. I'm thinking a re-purposing of the peace symbol. Instead of raising the two fingers in a forward gesture, raise the two fingers and tap your shoulder with them. Double-tap, of course. I'm pretty happy with this one, but I'm still working on popular phrases to describe not having got a shot yet (vaginal?) and your first shot (struttin baby!). As you can tell, more work is needed. So I'm reaching out to my fellow Forum members whose skills set includes social media. I need you to go forth to those popular social media platforms like Twitcher and Festbook and help us bring a true new mame (meme?) to transition us from these trying times to a new double shotted era. So whose with me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  20. Well, just got my second shot and as I type this I'm back in the "hopefully he's not fallen and can't get up" room for my 15 minutes. I've been telling people I'm just here to pick up chics.
  21. That's a great tip. Never knew water could damage the tip but I'll be buying a jug really soon.
  22. Better head back up that holler, cause the The 'Cuse came out on top. Go Orange!!!!!!!!!!!
