  1. Those would be right at home on my Snails, but I will have to start with something a little smaller. Very nice looking set.
  2. My wife's younger son in the Philippines got a Chow (crazy enough with the heat), and one of the grandsons is only nine. He can love on the dog, use him as a pillow, etc., and the dog just loves it. When we visited last July, my wife just started to reach out to pet him and he jumped at her and scratched the skin while biting her knee. Since there are so many strays in the Phils, right around the corner from the house is a "Dog Bite Clinic". She got a couple shots, a couple weeks apart. I had told her that Chows weren't very safe to have around, but they had already had him a while. I kept trying to pet him, just by letting him rub against my leg when he would walk by. The day before we left. he was letting me pet him. I'll probably have to start over when we go thee for Christmas this year.
  3. One of the ladies at work took this pic of her dogs. The sign is kinda nice.
  4. No, it was the Curcio board. It was ok, but I wanted to try the Tubes4HiFi board, even if the layout isn't the best. I had also replaced the power tranny, as I thought the original got pretty hot, but that may just be TVA's power grid running at 125V. I do still have one of the large adjustable theater variacs that I could use to bring the voltage down a little, but it's a bit ugly. Not that anyone would notice in the listening room. It has that studio/lounge/garage look, especially now.
  5. I'm guessing you don't like Dire Straits? I'm not sure how level matched these are, but the Heresy IVs sound very balanced. The LS sound a little weak in the bass, but I could tweak the to where I could be happy. Cornwalls still sound boomy to me, that could be the room, setup. The Forte IVs sound great, and the Heritage Jubilees massive, but very balanced.. Still, I'm listening on headphones, so who knows. I happen to like DS, but might have picked a different song.
  6. I had a Panasonic under dash 8 track. Carried some Firesign Theater tapes in my car.
  7. Yes I do, but it's in pieces. I had replaced the 7199 driver board a long time ago and got a different one to replace it. I need three 9 pin sockets and forget to order them.
  8. C.F. Martin is following Klipsch with a U-Turn Orbit turntable. $1199.
  9. I was ok with the bass from my LA Scalas. However, I did use a crossover that allowed me to the midrange a few dB. They sounded way more balanced that way. And turning them up to get more midrange also helps the bass fill in a bit more.
  10. That would surely get a more even look that could then be refinished.
  11. I've had items in worse condition, and dented dust caps on the back side wouldn't bother me. That's a great price.
  12. And... Muireann Bradley... age 17, from Ireland. She started on guitar when she was nine.
  13. Bronwyn's guitarist on this is smokin'!

    What I Got Today!

    That would be TDL!
  15. and that audiophile op-amp is less than a dollar.
  16. I have a couple decks that use cassettes, but these two are digital.
  17. Me too! So, is the glass broken or is the cardboard to try to protect from hail?
  18. Yes, that's correct. Finally found his name but it was me going down the wrong road anyway.
  19. Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, fiddle player for Molly Tuttle - from her forthcoming album. Sweet!
  20. That's some of your tax dollars at work. I don't mind that, and USPS pretty much has routes figured out. Waiting for you to give a review...
  21. We had a golden retriever who didn't want to sleep inside when he was little, so he ended up being mostly an outdoor dog. He was on a pretty long cable run and had one of those igloo style dog houses. One evening after it was dark I went out to love on him and put more water out. Right as I turned back to the house a Barred Owl was gliding right over me . He had a good 4.5 ft wingspan, and nary a sound as he went past. To say the least, it startled me. We rarely saw them, but heard them often in the summer.
  22. Oh, the Schiit Audio product. I was thinking of Josh Ricci's horn design.
  23. Welcome! You can find out all the info about them here: : If the crossovers haven't been tinkered with, the capacitor most likely need replacing. You can get approved caps from JEM Performance Audio: https://jemperformanceaudio.com/ I believe Dean is still repaing them if you want to send them off. @Deang
