  3. Great to hear from you Allen. I was just thinking of you the other day. I've been going through tons of my parent's stuff to sell their house. Every time I'd find something vintage and cool or just vintage and ordinary....like Tupperware with dates on them from 1958....I'd think Allan needs these to wind up on some future movie. I guess not now. Congrats on retirement and the Khorns. Have you noticed that Smoke in NYC now does live streaming of shows? I've done a couple in my Home Theater. Not quite as good as being there but pretty good in a pinch. Enjoy retirement in good health!
  4. I would be happy to see Michigan go 1 and 11 every year as long as that 1 was against OSU. It's called The Game for a reason. Long before cable TV, ESPN, people talking all day long about things they think they know just to fill 24 hours of content, there was The Game. Bo V Woodie, the 10 year war. Michigan was pretty terrible this year, but they made it all right in Columbus. I didn't even watch the college playoffs this year. I'd already won my bowl game the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The same day it's been played for as long as I can remember. By my count it's four in a row right now. That's an entire graduating class if Buckeyes that never received a pair if gold pants. College football started to go downhill when the playoffs showed up with dozens of worthless bowl games that drag throughout the fall and winter calendar. All you need is a six-win season and you go to a bowl game. Heck Michigan beat Alabama in a bowl game and I didn't even watch it. Because it didn't matter. Orange Sugar Cotton Rose all on New Year's Day used to be magical. And it was over the first day of every year. Most of that time for Michigan or OSU to go to one of those New Year's Day bowl games, They had to beat the other one first. So if you won the Rose bowl after a perfect 12-0 season and tide for the national championship with Nebraska, it didn't really matter cuz you'd already beaten Ohio State to get there. If this had been a four team playoff year OSU would have watched the Ducks on TV. But this current format is better for extracting Fab Duel dollars and that matters more. Congratulations Ohio State, on your national championship and still having the best marching band! For real, you earned it. But we all know deep down what Jack Sawyer really came back for and he/they missed the mark against a mediocre UofM team. And the failed on their own field. I know that painful, Lingering sting will last longer any than any confetti flying on some distant day in the middle of January. Go πŸ’™ Blue!
  5. Go Blue x4!

  8. Much better. Congrats and enjoy!
  9. https://www.sweetwater.com/insync/pink-noise-versus-white-noise/ This doesn't really say which is better for speaker set up, but tells you the difference. I get the feeling they are suggesting pink, based on the comments about the question. I've got nothing to back it up, but my guy said white until I read it
  10. Very! I know prices are up over years gone by, but I'd not go near those unless the asking price was in the 5-700 range and I was itching for a long winters project.
  11. Some of the nights festivities before I switched over to Radiohead and the Cure and the Pixies...old dog, no new tricks. Sorry πŸ˜” pretty good start to the evening. @Allan Songer what say you?
  12. Somebody is working overtime the other is asleep at the wheel.

  15. Congrats on the sale. I was truly hoping to make this work since 4 or 5 years back when you and I were kicking it around. I was sad to see you actually list them, sadder to not be the one picking them up. Congrats to FNG! Alas, I just got a set of AMTs to try in my Open Baffle K-Horn replacements. That will make 3 sets of mid drives that I can swap out in 10 minutes or less and with a press of the Xillica buttons new XOs for the proper midrange (Voxativ, Audio Nirvana and ESS AMTs). It's like having 3 pairs of speakers for the price of 5!😁 I was thinking I was done with box speakers but the Jubes with blue wrap would have be the ones to make me go back on my promise. Well I guess I'll give the La Scala's a go when I win them πŸ˜‰
  16. Sold in 4 hours. Not quite a record for me, but close. Thanks Klipsch Forums!!! Any fans of the fantastic compilation disc that accompany Mojo Magazine? If you don't know about them there is a British music magazine that compiles CDs with various themes. It might be a single artist's work reimagined by different bands like in the case of The Wall Re-Built, or songs that inspired an artist like the Tom Waits disc "...a musical journey compiled and sequenced exclusively for Momo by Tom Waits". Every disc is unique and different and a great way to find new artists and version of favorites. I've got a bakers dozen (13) just waiting to expand your music horizons. $30 PayPal Friends and Family or Venmo no fees lands all 13 of these on your doorstep via Media Mail. That is less than $3 a CD delivered. More info on the entire Mojo discography at Discogs: https://www.discogs.com/label/29287-Mojo-Magazine?page=1

  18. They don't write 'em like that anymore....RIP Greg Kihn.
  19. 9 RVG CDs and 1 Connoisseur CD Series. Most are in really nice condition. All guaranteed to play 100%, the Bud Powel has a promotional sticker on the face of the CD and creased back artwork...but you want them for the brilliant 24bit remastering by Rudy Van Gelder anyway. If you need specifics on any titles let me know and I'll get more pix. Some jewel cases have shelf wear, price tag sticker goo, etc. I'm pretty good at packing (ask around) but you never know with USPS. As of now all the jewel cases have good, unbroken hinges, no shattered front/back, etc. $110 PayPal Friends and Family shipped to your door media mail and I'll throw two more in the box for free...see pix of Sara Vaughan Verve Master Edition and Late Might Piano Various Artists. Check prices of SOLD listings on ebay I bet you can't get these 10 for twice the price.
  20. Clearing out some space. Handy devices and worked great for switching between my VRDs, 2A3s and SS HT amps. Looks like $50-75 is the going rate on eBay for each piece. All 3 shipped to your door for $75 PP FF or...Zelle πŸ˜‰
  21. What was thinly veiled, even you got it?
  22. I sooooo want to believe that every single one of your posts is actually sent by Jeff `The Dude' Leboswki sitting in a robe drinking a White Russian. Careful man, there's a beverage here.
  23. Apologies if my OP was not clear that the point of Friend and Family via PayPal holds zero weight. We were both fine with that. Actually he is fine with it I would not sell ANYTHING today via paypal without it being friends and family. If you have sold anything of substantial value on PayPal since around 2011 you realize that PayPal almost always sides with the buyer no matter what. And the scammers know this. I personally know a guy that is 100% legit, honest, salt of the earth, straight shooter, and sold a 3,000+ watch on a watch forum via PayPal Goods and Services. Buyer shows "unboxing" pix of a box of rocks "sent". After a long back and forth PayPal takes the $3K back from the legit seller. Watch and $$$ all in the hands of the buyer....well thief. I personally only deal with people I can build up a rapport with and convince them I'm above board. I don't really need to sell my stuff. I value the space these days more than the cash. If they won't meet in person and absolutely have to have my cast off junk, then they can live with my rules. Its just knee jerk reactions and hearsay these days for old farts to say "Never buy anything Friends and Family or get a certified check or postal money order only" that was so 2006. All the selling sites have sided with the buyers. legit, honest sellers inturn get screwed. That was my whole point in the first post that I need some Zelle expertise and not just "I've never used Zell but...." @Ceptorman gets it. This is the new world we are living in, like it or not. TikTok, Amazon same day delivery for "free". People want things now and if both sides are comfy, PP FF is fine. Just be smart about it on both sides. I just sold a $4,500 DAC to a guy in Canada. He paid PayPal Friends and family because he didn't use Venmo (instant no fees no protection). I shipped it to a 3rd party PMB in New York. He traveled across the border to pick it up. Here is is feedback on US Audiomart he left for me: "He did everything he said he would. An excellent seller highly recommend. He is honest and transparent. Definitely a plus to the HiFi world. If you are buying from him be assured your are in capable hands. I highly recommend him" So much for never buy with PP FF, no? I hardly post here anymore because of all the chaff and not much wheat. I get it we are all wasting time and like to poke fun and rib each other. Also, ultimately it is just an Internet forum. That's why this place used to be so much fun. Flip side when people had legit questions and were looking for non-audio advice, most (key word most) used to be helpful not spew out crap they had no idea about. There is a place and time for everything. I used be on fantastic Home Brewing forum where rule #1 was "don't be a d!ck". Pretty sage advice for all of life, I think.
  24. Care to elaborate? I'm looking for insight as a Zelle seller not a PP FF buyer. Perhaps the comprehension issue is more widespread.
  25. I fixed that for ya
