  1. My vintage work horse is up for sale and includes an Ortofon Blue cartridge along with a Schiit Mani l phono preamp.  The table is direct drive and the strobe shows a stable speed.  The dust cover has no cracks or significant scratches.  This model table came without an arm and I have replaced the ADC arm shown with a Rega unit.  The Mani has four gain levels to match with your cartridge. 

    Located in coastal North Carolina.  $800 plus shipping.

  2. Tomorrow will be in the 60s so the bubble will get a bath and I will get another candle on the cake. 

     

    Swankster gets human grade food from a company named Nom Nom but they have missed a couple of deliveries so I'm experimenting making his food at home.  First batch went well.  Chicken livers for fat protein, chicken breast for lean, finely chopped carrots and broccoli, and a little bit of sweet potato.  Next week will be canned Mackeral, tuna, broccoli,carrots, sweet potato.

    Kind of fun and I know what's in his food.

     

    CCC&C will have our 11th birthday on 02/06/25.  One member suggested my bath tub for a venue....hopefully tongue in cheek!

  4. Looks like we have a ten year anniversary of CCC&C on February 6th.  Where's the party to be held?

     

    Surprised we never thought of this but it might be fun to post a photo of your favorite coffee/tea mug.  I still use my See's Candy mug that came with a box of chocolates sent to my LF from former member minermark.

     

    Hope you Gents have a wonderful Christmas!

    After living with them for short time .

     

    What is your thought process on your new to purchase ?

    It was unsettling to have shipped all the way from California but with extra care in packing they made it without a scratch.  They are from 1988 but look almost new.  As for the sound....I love it.  Probably my forever speakers.........

    Thanks for asking.  And yes the Swankster likes them.  Sometimes when I have music on he comes into the room and settles in his bed.

  7. First cup down.  38 and clear here in the port city.  The Swankster had a spa day yesterday and now we can see his eyes.  My spa day was Thursday and yes you can now see my eyes too.

     

    Trying some recipes for Hasselbeck potatoes.  One savory and one with maple syrup/bourbon glaze.  Winner to be announced soon.

  8. Speaking of speakers I bought a pair from our garage sale forum.  Since they were in California I badgered the selling gent on how to safeguard the speakers for transport.  He first wrapped in heavy cardboard and then shrink wrapped both K Horns.  They were pallet shipped wrapped in quilts.  Arrived with nary a scratch!image.thumb.jpeg.27a92e253f0c7be519ed765b785efaa1.jpeg
