    Get better soon Brian.

     

    Been out of town since last Thursday.   Wasn't online then but just now caught up with this thread.  Too much to respond to so ill just sit on the sidelines for now.  Carry on.

    Been wondering where you is.

  2. To Farmers Supply in the AM.  Fungus in LF's yard and the guy that has been treating says it's bad.  Wonder if he realizes it happened on his watch!   So 20 pounds of Heritage G and then wait and see........

     

    Bought a preamp yesterday on impulse.  A Transcendent Sound "The Masterpiece".  Need more equipment like I need another hole in my head but someones got to do it......right.  It was shipped today.  Will replace the Quicksilver Audio unit that was a bit long in the teeth.  It will be in my second system at my other house so I'll rarely hear it😐

    The wife had this pop up on her facebook thing and laughed. It was when I was a senior, we walked out to protest not being able to have long hair, they gave in.

    It's funny to see this after all these years expecially since my hair is now shorter than it's ever been.

    Always knew dtel was a rebel rouser!

  4. Got up at 6:15 and had coffee and a bowl of cheese grits.  Washed the bubble and refreshed the ceramic coating (2 stage process)..  Use Modesta products.  All done by 8:30.

     

    LF off to play tennis.  Swanky sleeping.  Nice early fall temps.

     

    Power Ball at 523 million.  I have 4 tickets so I should win🤔

  5. 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😁

    Hey Chuck how's everything in Wilmington? Good to hear you're going to be firing up the LaScala clones.

     

    Try to find a used Transcendent Sound phono preamp to use with the ATI amp. You will not be disappointed.

     

    I loaned the one I built to my buddy Bob to use with his Mac 225 and Cornwalls. He says his high end Micro Seiki TT has never sounded better.

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

    The ATI 1502 is a beast of an amp and definitely has the power advantage but if it were me, I would keep it simple and go with the Pioneer SX-950.

    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.

  8. 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?

  9. Just bought another chain saw like I need one at my age.  Home Depot had the 60V 18" bar cordless saw for $90 off with battery and charger.  Took down and cut up a dead Dogwood tree next to the house this morning.  Good torque and no pull cord nor gasoline to bother with.

    Now I'm tired.........

  10. Yep I'm his age and have buried four dogs on my property.  Four foot graves and chopping through tree roots about did me in.  I can relate.  I could have paid to have them buried but felt that was the least I could do for them...........
