Tarheel

Hansbrough is contributing[*][]

Sorry to run out on you guys....computer problem.....not very pc savvy but a friend just now walked me through it over the phone. Heck yeah....I'm ready. Buckster...feeling better?

So Phil.....you're going to be a carolina boy huh. Know Duke Regional Medical Center like the back of my hand...was my second home for awhile. I don't have a horse in this race.... who are you guys for Memphis or OSU? I guess if I had to choose it would be Memphis...no reason other than geography. Hope Buckster is okay.

Okay guys I am up as well. What a very scary game that was. An ugly...ugly...first half...couldn't hit a thing. Hansbrough did little to help. But its the final score that matters. As I predicted wednesday the platooning made the difference. Some of their players were walking down the court at the end. A very Carolina last 10 minutes. If Hansbrough contributes Sunday we will be okay. Buckster...Sorry you are not feeling well....go see a doctor! We need you for Sunday. Phil....you were drinking some fine malts last night...how is the head this am? How do you have your scotch....neat or on the rocks....or heaven forbid... with water? Do you change drinks in the spring? I usually switch to Vodka in the spring.....Stoli on the rocks...Absolut or Grey Goose occasionally and then back to scotch in October. Arky....sounds like the USC call cost you big? As Phil said...bet on UNC going forward and recoup some of those losses. And please....no more screw cap scotch. Klipsched...happy vacation...just called for some younger backs to help me with the yardwork. Don't have the stamina I use to have. Did some days on the Appalachian Trail last spring and it kicked my a$$. A 42 pound pack was way to heavy...especially climbing up. Like walking up hill with a 4 year old on your shoulders. Chuck

Pour me a drink of that Oban Phil....What happend to Klipsched and Buckster? Florida and Carolina in the final sounds good to me Arky. See you guys Sunday[D][][Y]

TARHEELS[]

an ugly...shaky Carolina start...but there coming on. Carolina has always been a second half team anyway. Phil, Buckster, where are you guys. Looks like fiance got her way with Phil. Yeah...I may sign off early and catch up with you guys Sunday. We can settle up then.

Florida and Gtown move on....everybody still winning?

Didn't read all of Speakerfritz's comments. You might want to consider his KT-77s. I think they sound great. Chuck

Replaced the EL-34s with KT-77s in my Quicksilver Horn Monos...good change. Might want to contact Doug at Dougstubes.com he can tell you what his customers prefer. Chuck

Patricks in the stands...he needs to suit up.

Arky...Cheers back at you....I've got to pace myself...happy hour started early and the Heels don't play till 10:00 pm. Anyway..talk to you about 11:15 if I am still up. Klipsched....doing the yard work thing tomorrow myself....but someone has to. Helping Bluesboy move an entertainment center from his shop sometime saturday. He made it all from scrap wood. Oh to have some useful skills... Vand 18 Gtown 8 Chuck

Vand 2 gtown 4....if you ever get to W.Beach give me a call...5 minutes away. Chuck

Vand 2 gtown 4....if you ever get to W.Beach give me a call...5 minutes away. Chuck

Klipsched...watching the game at work or will you be home to pop the cap on one of those bad boys. Where to on vacation? Anything special or just time away from work? We go to a family cottage at Kill Devil Hills on the Outer Banks several times each year...its on the ocean and its free. Once I get there I don't leave the cottage except to go to the ABC store, the seafood market or out to dinner. Funny thing is KDHs is 250 miles from home and I am less than 3 miles to Wrightsville Beach and never go there. Anyway thanks for pulling for the Heels in this round and good luck to you as well. Hey Buckster.....starting to get excited? Chuck

Post a pic here...who knows...wasn't Mark looking for something to replace his Rega 3?

I'll have a drink with you, Buckster, and Arky...maybe even Klipsched with Yamahas...but no Coca Cola....adult beverages only. It is the weekend ....EHHH. Phil I take it the wife is not a BB fan? Glad you were able to compromise[] Buckster....3 in a row on "right this minute"....for real? Go Heels !!!!! Chuck

Sorry you missed the memo Phil....the Salukis gave Kansas a run for it...the house scotch is Dalmore....I've tried many but for taste and price Dalmore is it. Still at $38 with tax it is still pricey...guess I need to learn that trick....what do they call it....sipping? With a full weekend of BB and spring weather....74 here today...it should be a good break from work. 10:00pm for the Carolina game is a bummer though. I will try to stay awake long enough to post after the game....you know...to gloat. Good luck to all...except of course anyone playing the heels[] Chuck

Well Buckster that was a good one....close all the way. Anyone else out there watching? Chuck

Arky...same here watching the Jayhawks and Salukis....good game.....with a scotch of course.

Back at you Klipsched with Yamahas.....enjoy!

Built the music room with double wall thickness and insulated interior walls as well to give the rest of the family some quiet. Have found that I like to get the volume right the first time because it never sounds as good when I have to turn it down. Chuck

JT....I actually inherited the Tarheels when I got married some twenty years ago. Julia is a big fan and not a good loser...she gets really mad when they play bad. She wonders about Billy Packer's change in attitude....he actually has said some good things about Carolina. Hey Buckster...yes this weekend should be fun[] Glad you have found R&R nirvana with the Scott and sub. What do you think of Bluesboy's proclamation on "Right This Minute" thread that "Exile On Main Street" is the best R&R album ever? Lets get some opinons going here. Now its off to work. Chuck

Hi back ChrisMc.....welcome to the forum and thanks for the info. Chuck

The wife retires to the bedroom with her laptop. Quitely I close the pocket doors to the music room. I push the power switch to warm up the tubes and take Art Blakey's " A Night In Tunisia" from the sleeve. A few turns on the Nitty Gritty and a pause to pour another two fingers of Dalmore. Earlier I fine tuned the tonearm with my Shure tracking force gauge to the recommended 2.2 grams for the Clearaudio Virtuoso Wood cartridge. I still marvel at the magic from my new toy....an HK receiver from 1962. I know I still have to reconnect the Quicksilver gear this weekend but for now...just a little music. Both sides have played now. Next is "Another Side of Bob Dylan" and a fresh up on the Dalmore. Played selection 4 "Ballad in Plain D" twice...its such a nice piece of writing. Thinking I should retube the preamp as I put on Neil Young's "Prairie Wind". Wondering about Spongeworthy's 3 channel system and Oldbucksters new Scott as I pause to answer the phone....Bluesboy with ticket information about a jazz concert at UNCW..."we can smuggle airline bottle in our socks" and news that he bought another vintage amp...A Sherwood 500. Plans are made as I clean the final lp for the night Miles Davis "Friday Night at The Blackhawk". My mind wanders thinking about the least amount of money I could spend and put together a killer system based on 60s tube gear and Bluesboy's hybrids. Turning the lp I make a note to call Mike Sanders and order tubes. The glass is dry and the record is halfway done so maybe just 1 finger this time. A fleeting thought about forum members I haven't chatted with in awhile....The Dukester and WPM. Hope all is well. The rain has stoped and its time for me to stop....all in all..not a bad day.
