  1. Thebes, you're close. I was putting the final touches on my fish shop, The Rage of Aquariums. Actually, I'm in the last year of my third 19 year old cycle (NOT 57). One more year and I'm 1 again! Thanks all for the birthday love!
  2. Thanks for the help, guys! Marvel, I will look into the Garage Band thing.
  3. Wasn't "Hot Sauce Fairy" a song and album by Ted Nugent?
  4. Heh, that was fine for 2010, but I'm trying to improve on the audio quality this year!
  5. I was thinking if I knew more about AM circuits, that I could hack into the thing and somehow replace the internal tuner with the Sony's, but tuning with the Radioshark is done digitally (using the computer) so it's not so simple (or even possible?). I think the direction that would yield the best sound quality is to try and get some outboard delay processor with RCA inputs and outputs. Even if I had to rent it for a month...
  6. I see that the forum is not Google Chrome friendly regarding paragraph breaks, etc. I guess I'll have to keep firefox, just for the forum...
  7. It's baseball playoff time again, and I'm looking to improve my setup for listening to the AM radio broadcast while watching the television broadcast. The television lags by about 23 seconds, so that's about how much delay I need for the radio. I've tried the Griffin Radioshark, but the reception is pretty horrible. I own a Sony XDR-F1HD tuner, which receives the baseball broadcast very well. Thoughts include hacking the Radioshark to bypass the internal tuner (possibly using the Sony tuner), or using the Sony with another device (or Mac-friendly software) that will delay up to 23 seconds. Here's the previous conversation, from 2 years ago: http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/140094.aspx?PageIndex=1
  8. There's a convenient excuse. Hey, maybe that's MY problem??
  9. It's inspiring to see an anti GMO response here on the forum!
  10. They say a mono set will be coming out next year. Since I'm broke anyway, I'll be waiting to hear some reviews of the sound quality before pining for them. The box set (which includes what is supposed to be a very nice book) will be "limited" to 50,000 units world-wide, but the individual albums will also be available. I've heard they'll be pressed in Germany (Palais). Incessant ramblings on the subject at Hoffman's forum: http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/showthread.php?t=297170&page=48
  11. There's a lot more to setting up an arm/cartridge than getting the tracking force (downward pressure of the stylus on the record) right. Do a search, there is a ton of info on the web.
  12. Dude, I can send you an 8X10 glossy! [] Carl, sorry to hear about your Dad. 75 year marriage? WOW! Even though I've never had the opportunity to visit Elden and Christy, they've both made it clear on multiple occasions that the invitation is open! I hope to take them up on that one of these days, and of course I'd love to have them out here! As Dee (who himself has been such a generous host and good friend to me and my family) said, the Luquets are some of the nicest folks you'd ever want to meet. I love 'em!
  13. But how can we put a price on her hurt feelings?
  14. He's moved in with Hugh Downs.... Gene's only job is to make sure Hugh is comfortable.
  15. UMMM... No. I'm fairly sure she's not British. Oh right. I was thinking of Art Pepper.
  16. Torn between two Luxmans, feelin' like a fool Lovin' both of you is breakin' all the rules Torn between two Luxmans, feelin' like a fool Lovin' you both is breakin' all the rules
  17. Keeping all my Southern friends in my thoughts today.
  18. Wasn't she one of the Spice Girls?
  19. This forum doesn't like the Safari browser. I use Firefox with no problems.
  20. Rega p9, but i don't believe in expensive cart with two youngsters at home! A Rega P9 is the turntable. Is the tonearm an RB1000? It's the arm and cartridge synergy that matters most, and that mostly has to do with the tonearm's mass and the springiness (called compliance) of the cartridge's cantiliver/stylus. Think of it like springs on a car. Heavy car requires stiffer springs than a light car for a smooooooth ride. As has been stated, The Vinyl Engine has all the charts and calculators to assure a (theoretically ;^) perfect match.
  21. I dunno, maybe you could give me a pair of Jubes?
  22. Yeah don't panic we are here to help. Thanks, old friends! Seti, I'm surprised you didn't offer to take my 23 year old daughter off my hands! [] I like the "I Spy" direction this thread has taken. I should have placed one of the travelling ducks in there!
  23. Does it make a buzzing sound?
