GREAT score on the Cornwalls. Fantastic. Now, to match their sound, a Heresy would be ideal. I can't tell for sure, but I think it will fit. You should be able to find a pair for around 3 Cs. Maybe another forum member could use a single & split the cost.

RB61, black ash, used but mint. $300? I'm outfitting my new office/warehouse and the office will only accomodate somethin teeny. I can't even fit Heresys. So, true bookshelf it is.

GREAT PHOTO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There was later fallout from this incidient, brought on by the violence of hopping those high curbs at speed. Mark was tooling about town, minding his own business when he drove over a sharp bump. Both rear leaf springs cracked through and the body fell onto the rear wheels resulting in huge clouds of gray-blue tire smoke until Mark could wrestle the poor thing to a stop. This, on top of constantly having to deal with Evil Sir Lucas, killed the car. Off to the crusher you go.

As a 17 y/o my first car was a shared venture with my best friend. We each pitched in $125 and bought a ragged out 1960 Austin-Healy 3000. A thing of beauty, yes, but ruled by Lucas, Prince of Darkness. Anyway, I'm headed downhill on the one-way, 3-lane 2nd street at about 40mph, approaching the light at the bottom of the hill. I apply the brakes and *SNAP* the linkage breaks. I try the emergency brake. Nothing. I try downshifting but those old trannies were NOT synchro, 'cept in 1st. No go. There is no shoulder, high curbs on each side, and the street is lined with large, closely-spaced elms. Oh, the light is red and a car in each lane. I'm hosed. At the last second, I yanked the steering wheel hard right, trying to make a driveway, which I mostly missed, whipped left again, and went bouncing and crashing along the sidewalk parallel to the street. The car rolled to a stop just inches from the stop light at the corner. My friend, the co-owner, who has been silent up to now, looks over and shouts "VERY FUNNY!" He didn't know the brake cable broke. LOL! I doubt my reactions today match mine of yore, but I like to think I'd act appropriately in an emergency as above.

Ideas and beliefs have consequences. They are not neutral things. This systematic whistling past graveyards will result in graveyards getting filled...

P-mount arms are preset for 1.25 grams and shouldn't be adjustable. I'm guessing the recommended tracking force is for that model's standard mount counterpart.

Several comments. Now it's being reported by several patients that he proseletized them on Islam during counseling. Two words: Muslim Brotherhood. If Egypt can outlw them, so can we.

All p's should be exactly compatible. If you've got a cheapie in there now you should hear a nice difference.

Whatever you do, don't use bleach. Besides, bleach doesn't clean things. It oxidizes things, meaning it kills teeny living creatures and it whitens/fades things. It'll rust anything metal, including fasteners under the surface of the wood, potentially causing the rust to bleed through to the surface. Murphy's oil soap is great. Alternately, dishwashing liquid will work fine. Just don't use too much water.

Russ, I think it's because his ears are tuned to constipated, polite little (or big) pretentious audiophile speakers.

Pompous, self-absorbed drivel. Virtually meaningless. If you have to try so hard to prove you can write, you can't.

If you had teh corners and budget I'd recommend Klipschorns...of course. But 1500-2k used is the current tariff on these. They are less intrusive on a room & its decor than most other speakers. Sounds counterintuitive but 'tis true. Barring that, Cornwall, Chorus & Forte are each wonderful. But Cornwalls are BIG boxes...

1. Budget? 2. Musical preferences? 3. Do you have two good corners in your listening room?

I watched the first half in a smokey bar in the CBD. It was fun watching it in the BigEasy with local fans. If you can call the first half 'fun'. I listened to the 2nd half on the radio while heading home.

Again, not a thrift store, but I bought a beautiful Luman T117 tuner from a local Craigslist ad this morning. Just beautiful. Twenty bucks.

Quite unexpectedly I picked a dB Systems moving coil preamp yesterday from a neighbor on my block at his garage sale. $3

It's the year. And all the other years. They sound so good because they're Klipschorns, pure and simple.

Bobby Hebert was blowing a gasket in the local post game radio broadcast. Bobby was, at times, a pretty good quarterback, and he knows a good one when he sees one...but he's lost his marbles this time. Yeah, Bobby, Drew is Great and so is the Saints' O-line...but CALM DOWN man. It was a dominating win. Awesome.

Sorry, couldn't help it.

So fine, fini! I'll bet there is lots of first rate vinyl hiding out in Marin & Sonoma...

That Studer deck looks just like the one used for final mixdown of a recording session I played on at the superlative Studio in the Country. The 24 track work was recorded onto a 2" version of that deck. NICE hardware.
