A couple of new sailcloth straps for my Longines HC 39. I think I am up to 13 straps now. Beats(cheaper) giving in to my obsession of buying every cool watch I come across.

Now that I am a bit "overstocked" with straps for my HC 39, decided to add a couple for my Edox Skydiver Military Bronze. Also, after a year owning with no natural patina change with the bronze, I "forced" it with the saltwater and ammonia method and it aged several years in about an hour.

there is no need to be a Yamaha freelancer to know how high quality the series A-S 3000-3100-3200-2200-2100-2000-1200-1100-1000 really are ,
simply put , the best analog amplifiers on the planet , but not , the most expensive .
I have enjoyed my "bottom of the barrel" A-S1000 for several years and am still amazed how quiet, punchy, neutral, this integrated amp is. I could only imagine what the upper tier 2100, 2200, 3100, 3200, with their discrete circuitry would sound like with my Klipsch speakers.

Welcome to the forum.
Considering the fact that the AW650's are outside speakers designed for patio/porch music listening, I think your plan is just fine. Most patio systems are for background music and not for critical listening stereo imaging. Keep the music volume level confined to you and your guests enjoyment and not blasting for your neighborhood to rock out to and you should have no worries.

Stick to what I said in bold print and you should be good.

Bill , SS would look awesome on this super watch
Yes it would but I am a strap guy. I have one watch with a bracelet and quickly switched it out for a provided vintage leather strap.

I have 2 pairs of them and absolutely love them.
I guess us two should be members of the Central Florida chapter of the RB-75 Fan Club.

I am glad someone revised this thread. Been wearing some form of a watch for decades. Only in the last couple of years has it become a hobby(obsession).😉
A couple of my recent acquisitions. I think I have 10 straps for my Longines HC 39mm.

I haven't had any bad experiences here on the forum, but trying to sell on Marketplace is terrible.
Neither have I.
I have a rule that if a potential buyer, or seller for that matter, is not willing to exchange phone numbers and have real conversations about the potential transactions, they will not be first in line. For the most part, you get a pretty good feel of who you are dealing with. Of course this is for first time dealings.
Three word messages or only price offer will be ignored.
Also, I always offer my speakers/gear on this website first because of all the great transactions over the years with some really great high character folks(friends).

I got the serial number RC64BK+06410095 from a seller. He says it's a couple of years old. Anyone who can help me decodd ther serial number and decide the real age?
Best regards,
Erik

Though the seller may have misrepresented the age of the 64, intentionally or accidentally, don't be discouraged that it's 17 years old. If in good cosmetic shape and drivers look good and of course sounds as it should, buy it if the price is fair to you. My RC-64 is probably 16 years old and it looks and sounds like it did the day it was installed in my HT system.
Good Luck,
Bill

I’m just toying with the idea of an upgrade to my Marantz pm7000m for my Cornwall IVs
Did you mean PM7000N?
If so, what is it lacking?
Foe that matter, what is the PM7000 lacking?

Hey,
That was my idea.
And I am sure others also. Let's make it happen.

For now, I say add an outboard amp, maybe a 3-channel to begin with, and use your AVR as a pre/pro. Your TX-NR3030 was the flagship or near flagship Onkyo AVR 8 or so years ago so it is pretty tricked out for the time. Even if you decide later to go preamp/processor, you already have an amp.

Congrats on the sale of the 105. Love mine. Thought about a few times of selling it and always ending up with a NO.

Thanks to @rivlinmbuying the H2s and my coworker buying two of my least worn watches, this baby should arrive on Tuesday.
I am pretty pumped.

Appreciate this, Buddy! I think all my checking account will allow right now is a step up into the A-S801, which is apparently a universally adored integrated for the price.
This should be a wonderful combo.
