    Worst cut?

    in Lounge

    Posted

    My horror story begins with my attempt to fix a garage door.

    the wrench i was holding released the spring and the wrench

    was sent into my arm opening it up within a couple of

    mm's away from an artery. When the emergency folks arrived they

    looked and told me they were impressed. It was like that Terminator

    movie scene where Arnold, to show that he was a cyborg, cuts the

    skin away from his arm to reveal the metal substructure. Mine

    was bone.

    Must you be certified as a jerk to sell on Craigslist?

    CL is a great source for Klipsch speakers and what not.

    A few years ago i found a mint pair of walnut Khorns(AK-2)

    for $200. They were supposed to come with a center which

    was sold before i got there. What kills me is that the

    door was closed after we moved out the speakers into

    my friends pickup. There was a custom made rack full of nice

    gear still in the house which i wanted to check out. The women

    closing the house said sorry she had to leave immediately and

    was not coming back. The house was being emptied for a sale

    and so the new owner of the house got some nice stereo

    equipment which i missed out on. At least i got my dream

    speakers.

    Linn Sondek LP12 find

    Here is a picture of a Linn Sondek Basik from 1983 that came with an extra new old stock A&R P77

    cartridge I found on CL. Good combo soundwise. The turntable was a royal pain to setup but rewarding.

    Listening to the Rolling Stones Aftermath "Under My Thumb" with that fuzzy bass giving the Klipschorns

    a workout. Love it.

    Just brought home a Linn LP12 Basik LVX with Valhalla upgrade with a couple

    of cartridges i found on CL for $600. I would say an 8 out of 10 with

    the dust cover having some light scratches which should buff out. I

    will want to replace the A&R P77 cartridge currently mounted. Any suggestions?

    Have any of you Cats worked for a Radio Station in the past

    in Lounge

    I worked in radio as on air talent for a series of stations leaving the industry in 2004

    (I left the flagship Cox station in CT after 15 years). I saw changes in

    technology changing opportunities in the industry. The change from analog to digital

    changed how stations could supply product from local to network and if you have been

    following the industry you will see most stations are owned now by just a few companies.

    I jumped ship and changed to IT work because i saw the writing on the wall. I have to

    say that college radio where i started was my happiest memory.

    Any Steely Dan Fans?

    Love the Dan. From early songs like Rose Darling(check out the background vocals from Michael McDonald) to

    the later album "Two Against Nature". Great production is the standard. Naked Lunch author William Burroughs

    died recently from which the group took their name from a certain device in this novel.

    Anyone Like Old Genesis?

    I remember seeing Genesis in NYC for their Lamb Lies Down On Broadway tour

    at the Paladium. I got separated from my friends upon entering the venue and

    after a while i heard a "Rick, Rick, Rick building outside of the

    bathrooms in the lobby. I did not realize this was meant for me. My friends were

    calling for me and the audience joined in.

    When i walked out of the mens room i found my group and a hugh hurrah came

    from the crowd. A great concert and a memorable piss.

    By the way Steve Winwood was not in Genesis.
