    So, I'm kinda stuck in my boom box coffee phase and need an upgrade. I'm a two-cup morning person, not too loyal to brands, and my idea of expensive coffee is anything over 10 bucks a pound. Don't grind my own beans, rocking a Keurig, and occasionally a Mr. Coffee.

    Where have I read this before?  Maybe on page 1 first post?

    I've wondered about Tommyboy.  Young guy off to Afghanistan as I recall.   Was a regular on CC&C.  I have sent him a couple of messages over the years with no response.  Hope he is well and enjoying other interest.

    Help in selecting Primaluna amp

    Hi guys,

     

    I really don't know much about amps, but I'm looking for some advice in selecting an amp to pair up with my brand new Klipsch La Scalas. I'm trying to decide between the Evo 200 and Evo 300: https://www.primaluna.nl/tube/integrated/

     

    In terms of price the Evo 300 is 60% more expensive. Is it worth it? Can I expect a significant improvement in sound quality by shelling out the extra bucks?

    There is not much difference in the EVO series and the previous model.  If budget is a concern look for a Dialogue HP Premium used.  8 power tubes up to the KT-150.  I bought one used a couple of years ago with 8 EL-34 tubes and 8 KT-120 for $3000 shipped.  The Quicksilver Horn Monos are a great match if you can find them.  They are now discontinued.  25 wpc and self biasing.  I have good luck on usaudiomart.com.

    I was president of a softball league (the Bar League) in the 80's and our league was sponsored by a beer distributor.  Since he gave us money I tried to drink his products at our games.  The problem?  He sold Old English 800, Weidemann, and Pabst.🤮

    Back to cables....does your blanket use a cable🙂

     

    Just heard Jason Aldean released a new album today.  Looked it up on Amazon Music and there it was.....in ultra HD at that.  Quickly added it to my JA playlist.  Very inexpensive.....just the monthly cost of Amazon Music.

    Diet

    I've been doing low carb for 6 weeks and dropped from 197 to 183.  I'm 6'2".  Yesterday I had a cheat day as I have been craving a roast beef wedge with lettuce, tomato, and white cheese.  $14 but enough for 2 meals.  I expected to gain a pound or two but delighted to see I was at 182.8 this morning.  Lady friend suggested that I have not been eating enough and that has slowed my weight loss.  She may be right.

    I use to keep something from a magazine on the door of the fridge that states "nothing tastes as good as slim feels".  That said I'm making Osso Bucco chili for tonight😊

    I'm a long time advocate of a low carb diet.  I had scrambled eggs with cheese for breakfast and a Greek salad for lunch.  Down 10 pounds in a month.
