Welcome to the forum Eric. Thats a heck of a starter system[Y]

Boxx.... good to see you here at the bar. Put your drink on my tab. Vodka martinis on the patio on a perfect Carolina day. 80 GG Gerbing azaleas blooming in all there glory. Marinating two filets for dinner. Yeah JB isn't Mexico a bit far from Pluto.....oh I forgot....takeout! Ben....20 innings....you have patience! Cheers guys!

Found a new to me retaurant last night.....Terazzo Tratoria near Wrightsville Beach. Very good and reasonable. Had some excellent chianti, flounder picatta, and a lemon filled philo dough for dessert. Bien! Other news......bought a BlueBerry Extreme with Cream and the super tube 6h30 from a fellow forum member. Hope to send my QS Full Function Preamp to Craig for some souping up and then decide which one to keep. I have read almost everything about the BlueBerry and it all sounds good. Especially enjoyed the 6moons.com review. Another addicted gear head. Winchester....you are going to need a gallon of record cleaner for your project! Hope everyone is well. Cheers!

Ace has carpet! Congrats bud.....now lets get those beer lines run. Fini and Stew....hope you are both feeling better. Cheers to the other regulars and to those just passing through!

Any time. 395-0825 home or 200-1225 cell. Winchester.....you need to buy more stuff[]

Sounds tasty chili bone. Gas or charcoal? You will have to stop by sometime. I am off Greenville Loop on Leeward Lane. The gray cedar house with carpenter bee holes on the facia[:@] Martinis on the patio and just now came in to catch up on the Masters.....Phil just took the lead. Cheers to the regulars and those just passing through[]

Amazon.com.......new box set (3 LPs) $58.85 11 used box sets as well. Insound.com........new box set 180g vinyl $70.21 There you go bud. Pull the trigger

Jolida 100 CDP.....find one on audiogon for $500....roll in a couple of Bugle Boy 12AX7s and live happily ever after.

70 degrees and sunny here, Azalea Festival weekend....10 thousand tourist dropping in. I stay close to home and avoid the crowd. Absolut vodka with a drop of tonic and a slice of lime. Have talked with Stew and offered to do the surgery with Dr. Winchester assisting but apparently Stew wants a second opinion[] Ace.....you are now employed I hear so pick up my tab this weekend if you will. Spring has sprung here buds. 80 GG Gerbing azaleas in bloom! Tannoy westminsters on audiogon for $16,500 if anyones interested. Winchester....how about a loan?

Hey Stew.....I think winchester and I can do that surgery.....doesn't look too hard. Meet us after happy hour friday and tell us where to look for the rotator and we will give it a shot[]

Dissappointing chili bone and pricey. I expected pricey but they don't seem to have all the bugs worked out. A table of four near us were complaining that others who arrived after they did were already served. Potential for some good food there is apparent but the execution on our orders fail short.[] I prefer Marc's on Market, Jerrys, Portland Grill and for a lot less money Bonefish Grill.

[Y][][<)] Way to go Ace! Take the little guy out for [pi]

bluesboy built the one in his photo. He may be willing to sell you his or build you one. He is here in Wilmington.

Is that unit solid state? Still have the tube warmth? Nice day here. Been trying to get a reservation at a restaurant named Catch for three weeks. They called with a cancellation for 6:00pm....a bit early but were gonna take it. A very tempting Juicy Music Blueberry with cream and the super tube on audiogon. I am torn between making an offer or sending the QS Full Function Preamp out for some hotrodding at a third the price. Sending the HK500A off to Craig for a going over. Cheers buds.....seems a lot like spring here. What do I use to get rid of carpenter bees? Swarms here mating but soom to be attacking my cedar facia.

Cheers back to you JB. Off Friday as well. Have one on me. Having a Knob Creek on the patio. Got Thebe's loaner tubes off yesterday. Keeping the Bugle Boys in the Jolida 100 CDP and the telefunkens in the preamp. A check and the remaining tubes on the way to Virginia. Thanks very much Martin! Stew.....hope you and fini are on the mend. Ben go easy on that ginger ale[] Ace....hope you are gainfully employed and not just working. Winchester.....how about a gear update? Cheers gentlemen!

Yep. But it wouldn't be the same without you. Happy anniversary bud[Y]

A nice day weatherwise clouding over just now. Two neighbors stopped by and sat for awhile and shared gossip, a knobs creek, and some Powell and Stokes Blister Fried Peanuts. Tennessee lost.....Baylor ahead of Duke. Wife fixing oxtails and a rich sauce to put over pasta with a nice glass of red. Then off to the music room to listen to some Mapleshade jazz discs. Hope all the regulars are well. Where is Ben?

Answer.........Roy Acuff.

Took your advice fini. Emailed Craig and he promptly replied telling me of another tube that could be used in place of the scarce 7355! He even gave me the link and told me the tubes are inexpensive. Ordered a quartet of matched tubes from PartsExpress for less than $50.00! Thanks fini.....and many thanks to Craig. Welcome back Stew.....thought you might have been having some decaf tea with Ben[] Good of JB to stop by and dust off his bar stool. Sunny, windy and 60 degrees here. Will be having some Knob Creek on the rocks in a little while and dinner at the Bonefish Grill later and maybe a little Chet Baker on the hifi afterwards. Life in the slow lane but thats about as wild as this boy gets these days[] Cheers gentlemen!

Thats funny muel[] Like your avatar.

Bob Dylan's song "Let Me Die in My Footsteps" was based on an old ballad by.......????

Sounds good fini. May have to have some fish this weekend. Some good news and not so good. Good.....owe no more taxes to the IRS for last year. Not so good.....tubes for my HK A500 have been out of production for many years and replacements are scarce as hell. TGIF and cheers getlemen!

Crazy Heart.....Beth has aged a bit over the last 43 years and the scene with Jeff Bridges sneaking out of bed with her snoring is not very flattering. She was always a sweet girl though. She went to East Carolina University after growing up here in Wilmington. She was the lady at the farm house in the movie Rain Man with Cruise and Hoffman. She was also the woman blown up trying to get off the bus that had a bomb on board in the movie Speed with Keanu Reeves. Beth also was in No Country For Old Men but I never saw a dime of her earnings[:S] Finished up the Russell's Reserve tonight. What to try next???
