Not seeing anything Joe.

Must be 4:30 somewhere. Second Jack Black poured.

Well darn! Didn't win Power Ball or Mega Millions.

I think Carl has one.

Good job dtel....you're the man!

Welcome back Bill!

Just ordered 2 fifths of Blanton's and 2 bottles of Johnny Walker Black for less than $200. Couldn't quite do 1K for one beer.

I think it would be fun to read what systems folks would cobble together at different price points.....say 25k, 50k, 100k. Anyone want to play?

Where would you even begin to set up a system with all that money?

BTW....last time I looked both Powerball and Mega Millions was over 400 million. Yep I have two tickets for each.....should be a shoe in.

With LF all busy cleaning (laundry, washing kitchen cabinets, changing filters on two refrigerators) I felt kind of bad. So I pulled the bubble out into the shade and did a meticulous cleaning of the tires and wheels followed by the leaf blower to dry everything and then tire gloss. So see....no ones completely worthless....they can always serve as a bad example😁

Being considered is an honor in itself. Well done Ms. grasshopper!

Hey Don I may look into that once I do some experimenting. I'll call you and Roy out on the left coast tomorrow.

That's my thoughts Bill. One unit to hook everything up. Nothing to buy. I was at the point of looking at tube pre amps on usaudiomart everyday to hook up the ATI but then thought why. The ATI did really sound good when I had a Quicksilver pre but it aged out.

Would like some thoughts on a second system that will rarely get used at a second residence. The gear involved is a middle level, NAD CDP, two Teac R2Rs, a Denon DP-1250 turn table with Rega arm and a Ortofon Blue cartridge and home made LS/Altec speakers. For power the choices are an ATI 1502 amp (150wpc) with a Schiit SYS for volume control or a vintage Pioneer SX-950 (85wpc). The Pioneer has jacks for everything including a phono. The ATI has the power advantage but I would still need a phono pre to hook up to the SYS. Yes I will probably try both eventually but wondering which way you folks would bet on for superior sound?
