Wow that Korean gal really digs those tunes she is recreating! Interesting

Obviously out of synch with y'all lately, vocal tunes I've got won't match lovely Diana Krall for the most part got my jazz off an old Sunday night radio show we used to have here and a springtime festival that's devolved into jerks plowing folks out of their way with their OCCUPIED baby strollers. Idjiots. What's left of my Alan Parsons is good stuff, just not enough. Perfect for a cool Sunday afternoon.

"You Shall Not Pass" that was back in 1996 I think.

Then thirty to the throne dirtmud. You've got it bad Tiger, I do hate your turnpike. Took the back roads from Orlando to Whitman once in June, Hwy 80 or 81 in PA was beautiful country (UTZ, UTZ, UTZ..before they were national) until we smelled NYC, then 90 was worse than just sticking with I-95 the whole way!

@jjptkd yep delve into this thread and you will see from the chief himself talking about the evolution of the mumps horn. I also see your keen interest on the midrange just now going back only a couple pages. The full three range sound I have not heard this good in a long time. My Heresy IIs from 1991 obviously need help from Bob C. when I can get to it. I doubt they could match the total package from the F3s unless I radically modify them. Rock-n-Rolla!

Bet there are copyrights involved. If they did it would be a while, don't think all the variants of the Forte III aren't out at this point.

@Tigerman That's one incredible setup you've got up there, even reel to reel? Robert Cray..... that man is a musician like some famous artists would only like to be. Coffee....Ahhh hell, is there a twelve step club for that?? Doesn't matter, I would not give this up. Got a Bunn that makes decent HOT coffee for three years now, it replaced one that died after two years. Last summer I looked around and found a cross between a pour over and immersion trick made by Eva Solo. It has a kinda steep price but works really good and looks like it could fit in a kitchen in a much higher tax bracket. Yep artsy-fartsy in a box. If you get half as involved in getting your breakfast as we do our sound systems you would all appreciate this thing. https://www.amazon.com/Coffee-Maker-Neoprene-Cover-1-Liter/dp/B00009OWEV Heck the price went up. but I'm talking about breakfast, it's not just coffee to me. I'm John J there too.

Just came in turned on the boob-tube and see heads are a rollin' in my favorite place to see that happen. Not much of a cover left, my rott-n-pit puppy got angry with me once and chewed up a lot of records with my smell on them. Glad this vinyl survived Apollo. To my new favorite w&#... uhem Italian (it's a personal love/hate thing with my ex) "If You Want Blood (You've Got It)"

@MetropolisLakeOutfitters and you spread that to my house friend. Thanks for all your help. @dtr20 It's about 27" (center) from the floor, 9 7/8" w X 6 3/4" h

I've had these Forte IIIs for a couple weeks now. Very satisfied with them, moved them a little bit, can perceive the difference in the bass easily. I'm cheating myself having them in my 12 X 12 bedroom right now, but d#mn they are excellent at any volume. I probably don't have more than 50 or so hours on them so I expect them to get even better soon. Are you other early adopters as pleased with your new investments? Noted anything that merits sharing with the gang?

Funny @oldtimer the public school system didn't even have chocolate milk here until about third grade, that's all we could get until about 10th grade. Then we could have what every southerner drank, iced tea. They probably made about a million milk addicts here!
-
@dirtmudd You're one resourceful fella, but I swear it seems to take quadruple what it did back then. Good whole milk is $5/ gal here most places in jim&tammyland. I'll let it sour on the shelf before I buy it at that price. Store brand $3.50 is watered down and says "Whole Milk" on it. Whole is 4-7% milkfat, store brand is like 3 (skim in my book). Sorry_ leg still hurts bad and I'm just belly-aching. I get Pet for $3.39 at the corner store with two week out date! It was a very nice cart, I'll put that new one on soon and enjoy that nude shank sound again!
-
Thanks with and without rain @dirtmudd It's just like another picture disc I've got somewhere, like super awful static, static to the third power if you will. But my zero-stat could not fix it. I've always used AudioTechnica cartridges, the one on my old Yamaha P50 was $200.00 in the early 1990s ( with inflation probably would be an $800.00 cart now) used to get a new stylus every year for it. I know some consider them bright sounding. I think they're realistic. I like the s/n ratio and the good bass, mid and high I got out of them. That might correlate with my love for the Klipsch Heritage speakers and the fact that I'll never go back to less than them. The A-T carts or the turntables were always too easy to set up. Now a Heads lp I've got sounds terrific, it's clear vinyl with the pic on the case that is yellowed in the decades since I bought it.
-
My copy of "Couldn't Stand the Weather" sounds awful. I'm so sure that I put it on the wall years ago!
-
Luckily it is!
-
Another that fits me tonight. Remember Journey and Miami Vice. Say BAM! with Emeril's tone of voice throwing red pepper on something.
-
Alan Parsons is pretty good, that's another day. I know you folks remember the `70s. This lp still sounds great!
-
Don't fret @badboyspack it's better than the tripp lite I just threw into the bottom of my closet any day!
-
Just hooked up my Furman 15PFi and we've got our daily t-storm late tonight right now.

Damn, did not mean to kill this thread, was not trying to hijack it either, sorry folks. Words don't hurt unless you let them. Peace.

OK, Don't know about the past but since this spring I've read a lot of good stuff from about all the screen names I've seen at this thread. Went and spread likes all over and could probably do more. Geeze, I know about being bullied, should have a novel and a tv movie with righties or lefties begging me to speak. So F'n what (Metallica). Doubt any of you care, and I don't care if you don't (the Cure?). Darnit snowflake, don't melt if somebody doesn't like your opinion. Be decent to folks and you might get that back, Listen to your "Happy" tunes and get over yourself. Had this in the car today..... ( All That You Dream) Makes me smile

First post molehill no action needed next page mountains This Post proof the op has a great point!
-
That is one incredible machine!
-
What the .....? It cleans the lp, has a linear arm on the right, a normal arm on the back and lights up like one of those wierd clover-no stop (except when you have to) euro highway intersections around here. It is interesting and would match one of their Dragon cassette decks.
