and we LIKED it!

The thread is drifting back toward coffee... hmmm... Had a middle school teacher convinced a km was longer than a mile, when shown in a textbook, she claimed it was out of date. She needed more coffee, clearly.

This thread drift has been fun to read! Takeaway: for best two channel performance - toe the speakers in a little. On another less punny note, I saw this and thought at Mark (the miner) bc he's loaded with these and he's probably already posted it somewhere along the line of this nearly 1500 page thread! Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone!

Looks like that little piggy had a rough day at the market.

This is random, but it could have prevented so much in my life. writing... this... down...

Dang! Hope the rest of your week(+end) is far less eventful!

This was from my drive to Anchorage on Monday. A leeetle icy... (no injuries)

Very true! And add Alaska cold storage, yada, yada, yada...

Outstanding amp! Good info - I've offered $100 as is - we'll see what happens.

Did I say "extremely inexperienced"? I meant knuckle dragger. Thank you for your insight! I know many of you have forgotten more than I will ever know about the hardware, I am grateful for the feedback. I like the fact that it's an obvious starting point for a possible solution any way. :-)

Sounds like cold storage - up here - huge red flag. and a shame.

Thanks Carl, I was thinking the same thing - lot's of risk when it's been sitting so long - especially when it won't power up.

A quick bump - an update - and an extremely inexperienced "buyer" question. The amp is still in storage, it will not power up. This has not been a priority for them. (I trust the sellers rep we go way back) They think it could be a fuse, but (in my mind) with possible repair needed - any idea what a reasonable offer would be? What kind of parts/labor are common here - are they fairly easy to work on or is it tech only? Best leave it be? Any input is appreciated.

That's very exciting! Congrats!

LOVE the shelves! Great set up - very organized. Wire management is not for the faint of heart and you've done a great job!

+1... sigh... pizza... and tacos...

Of course you're right! Steve - sorry to hear of your er visit. May your week be far less eventful from here!

HAHA!!! GREAT idea for kids! I hear their performance goes up by 15% if they play with these blocks. Thank you and yes - I think if it's a girl we will be done! I'm an old man for babies (42 next month - my wife is 32 so she can deal...) and I'd like to be done after this one. Indeed! And if it's twins - I'm blaming you! I expect a pound of coffee for each one in the mail if that happens!

Wonderful setup! I LOVE the RB 81's - that's a great setup! Wonderful 2 channel!

That's a wonderful set up! Thanks for sharing!

Happy Monday everyone! Still -5 in the mornings - but gaining almost 5 1/2 min/day in daylight and that's invigorating! I am a Falcons fan - hasn't been much to celebrate over the years, but having the heart ripped out yesterday was an unpleasant shift. It's just sports, but I'm one of those who admittedly cares too much. On the positive, my wife is expecting #3 (& likely our last?!) so we are letting that sink in, our boys (age 4 &2) are remarkably excited and that makes it more fun! Another positive, the scale (my weight) is trending down, the BP is heading back to the "regular" normal from "high" normal, so I'm indulging in the coffee - a single cup and it is good. I've said enough! I hope you all have a great week! Drive fast, take chances.

If you need an evac - I can lob a smoke grenade and provide concealment. But keep your head down at any rate! Btw - cup one on board and for a while - the only for the day. BP got to upper normal - need to tone that back. Sheesh - I'm too young for that gar-Bahge! If I have to give up taco Tuesday - I quit! PS - Go Falcons!

Aaaand More shots fired!

Way to go "TarChuck"! Cheers to longevity, long threads, long cables and uhm... "long" cups of coffee.
