  1. Beautiful set of Belles. I hope you are still enjoying them. Boxx
  2. I use one on a regular basis in a third room. You are right the loudness control is an excellent feature. Much more efficient that a loudness switch.
  3. I'm interested in knowing what you did to modify your tt. I just got one and I love it. Thanks.
  4. I agree.. I use my C2200, with pair of McIntosh 275's and the product is outstanding.
  5. Not only do we eat blackeyed peas, we eat saurkraut on New Years day. Our friends from Ohio, that have migrated to Texas, started us on this tradition.
  6. I've found that most of us have ADHD regarding things we have no interest in. It is self-discipline and drive that helps most to overcome life's challenges.
  7. It's time to revive this subject... A Harp at the Gingerman (Dallas) suits me...
  8. I just came across this post... Thanks...
  9. Hey... It's college baseball time again... Go Horn's...
  10. The thread "crashes." Just ask the guy's in the new "right this minute."
  11. I have to agree... however, I do like the look of the Klipschorn...
  12. With the right support and coaching, he can be developed into a pro QB. He has too many intangibles going for him.
  13. I have them every New Year's day.... No excuses given... It's a southern tradition...
  14. Whatever happened to Andrew Faubaacker? (sp?).
  15. Or is it called, "...giving your fair share or your contribution..." to the benefit of the whole. NOT!!!
  16. Nothing will change the current system until the "bottom line" (money, money, money) dictates a change....
  17. I would have loved for Al Hirt to have seen this win.
  18. In January of '64, Dallas got 15 - 17 inches of snow (a two day total). The Dallas schools were closed for three consecutive days. It hasn't happened since.
  19. You may want to contact Bill at Circle Stereo. Bill has a store on ebay. He offers restoration services for many high end units, including McIntosh. His ebay ID is lionrr12. Boxx....
  20. I added this album to my collection last October. It is a three album set. It is well worth the investment. Band of Gypsys Live at the Fillmore East 1970
  21. I think the question is what doesn't Thebes have hidden away. I'll research the Fisher 400. OK, I was holding out, but it's SS and doesn't really count. A Fisher Studio-Standard Model 432 FM/AM Stereo Receiver. You open this thing up and the craftsmanship is super. But you listen to it, and it's as dull as dirt! Can't figure it out. It should sound good but it's bad mid-fi at best. It does have pretty blue lights. I wonder where they got that idea from? Boxx and PM are running restored 500c's, which was reviewed by Steropile a couple of years ago in a sort of retro review. They are powerful beasties with a dedicated following but I'd still choose a restored Scott 299 over them.Part of the Fisher attraction is they all come with Telfunken 12AX7's and that does have a major impact on how they sound. IMO etc. That is interesting. Yeah the fisher's I have had have always been good for a top notch tube harvest. Currently, my Fisher is set up in a large room, with a restored pair of AR-4x's. I'm very pleased with the result. Also, I'm considering adding a third speaker for 3-channel stereo. I'm curious to see how this unit can handle a center speaker. Many people are surprised to know that some of these early tube receivers have the ability to produce 3-channel stereo.Also, I have just readied a new cabinet for a 500C. I'm not sure if I'll use it now or look for another receiver, without a cabinet. Here's a pic of the new cabinet.
