  1. They have a nice Marantz 4270 but I am not big on quads if you only really want 2 channel. Too many parts to replace and too many things to go wrong. Nice unit though
  2. At least you are not traveling while the Brier is on! Pretty sure no one else will know what we are talking about.
  3. Close to downtown. Westborough area. 1099 Wellington street. Worth the trip especially when a band is on which I usually every weekend. They actually record live shows on reel to reel and release records. http://www.therecordcentre.com/
  4. Picked up the latest Paul Simon album. Well recorded. Sounds great. Most of his albums do.
  5. The Record Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Cool shop. They often have live bands playing while you flip through records. The Tannoys are on a half wall at the back of the store. They are impressive.
  6. A local record store here has a pair of Tannoy Westminster’s as their house speakers. They occasionally turn them up a bit and all I can say is wow! Powerhouse speakers. Should be for 40k I guess. I wonder how they would compare to Khorns? https://www.tannoy.com/Categories/Tannoy/PRESTIGE-GR/WESTMINSTER-ROYAL-GR-OW/p/P0DER#googtrans(en|en)
  7. I would drink the booze to make room for the amp on the shelf. Two problems solved.

    What I Got Today!

    It is awesome stuff. I had 2 lbs of the best available seized at the border when I was coming home from Spain a few years back. Never been so mad in my life. Enjoy
  9. I have been an investment advisor and financial planner for the last 15 years. Richieb has it right - Chill

  11. I have used “No More Nails” made by Lepage. It comes in a squeeze tube, caulking tube and a can with propellant. It is basically construction adhesive and works well.

    Picked up a 6500 watt generator today. Tornadoes went through my area last week. Figured it was time to get some backup power and really be self sufficient. Should do the trick.

    Got a pair of Sennheizer HD1’s in ivory. Sound fantastic for the price. https://goo.gl/images/M93GkP
  14. I use the Audioengine D2 streamer. I have had no issues with drop out. It doesn’t use your wifi. It runs an independent signal. Sound quality is top notch. The DAC is better than my Marantz amp. Very happy with the product. I assume that all of their products are made to the same quality level. Their powered speakers are highly rated.

    My god. I’m only 42 and even I went to the drive-in. Times like this I wish I was a bit older and had an Econoline in high school......
  16. She sang it at the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics and I was floored. Unbelievable rendition.
  17. That topic could be it’s own thread.....just say’in
  18. Huge loss. He was the man.
  19. The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon are on another level in writing and composition. Breakfast in America is incredible as is Crime of the Century. One I listen to end to end, over and over again is Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours.

    If you are looking for isolation feet try Sorbothane Hemispheres in Duro 50 or 30. I wouldn’t use anything else.
  21. Sooo tempting. I am in Ottawa and still have a home in Leaside which I visit regularly. I have my heart set on a new pair of Forte III’s.
  22. I use Dayton Audio spikes under my speakers and Sorbothane hemispheres under everything else. Works great. Just have to have the correct load factor on the Sorbothane.

    Cut down some trees today. All in all about 900 linear feet of trees. Never felt so old in my life.....
  24. Well alright. After a good run of King Crimson I can say that I will always be a 21st Century Schizoid Fan!! Love what they do. There is a time and a place for that killer style. At the end of the day the mighty Zep reigns supreme!!!! In my humble opinion....
