    Catching up here. @MicroMara WOW! That HURTS!! Just to look at. I am so sorry you are dealing with this type of injury

    @GWSmith I do wish you would employ a neighbor to "Steady" your ladder, a spotter that is recommended by safety organizations. I fear for you come Xmas lights time!

    I share my thoughts KNOWING I am just as guilty here... Just as guilty My thoughts are with you all

     

    No spinning today (Yet) going to be doing some wire routing (re-wiring) to chase down an intermittent hum I heard last night.

    Be careful and get well quickly!

    Not sure if I'm listening to the same 1965 recording as your album, but it surely sounds really good. Von Karajan was at the top of his game in 1965, I think! 

    Yes! That would be the Same one

    On a serious note, I love Bach and I love Von Karajan! What makes this particular recording special, in your opinion?

    Good question!

    The short and simple answer is this is the recording I grew up on/with, was the required reference to how we would perform the Brandenburg's and was to be our Hear all, Dream all, Feel all, ..etc assignment. At least it was Bach to listened to thousands of times, over n over again. Very Strict Conductor!

    Gonna keep this short n sweet but I just pulled the biggest bone-headed move ever.  Being diabetic I always take care of my feet since neuropathy is taking over.   Last Friday evening I took the grand to the high school football game and my feet got cold. 

     

    After the game I came home and fired up my lil heater.  I didn't think it was that close to my feet but woke up Saturday with a couple toes blistered.  By Sunday I was in the local ER with all of them blistered.   Tuesday, I was on the way to Cbus and the OSU burn center.  I'm still trying to figure out who that lil Japanese Doctor was.  He walked in, looked at me and smiled then said, "3 Third Degree and 2 Second degree," and vanished.  lol  Can't wait to see how much he made.  :)

     

    Walking and siting up is out of the question but I'll be throwin some down in you tube.  Yes, the pile is getting larger!

    I will be keeping you in my thoughts @Dave1291 , knowing the neuropathy and care for the feet. You are the 2nd person I know of that has had to warm their feet after the cold set in, and I Pray you will fare Much better than the other case.

    Enjoy the you tubes and do everything it takes to get those feet to heal!

    Have my eyes on another Stanton... 681-EEE I always wanted to try that one out.

    Have several Pickering barely used from the 70's I will be playing with as well.

    Always a tough choice I have so I am collecting more headshells.

    Currently have the Shure M91 ED, Empire 2000 and the Stanton 737 E mounted. When I get up the nerve I will mount the Micro Acoustics MA 530 MP up and spin with it a while.

    I biased my 1960 Dynaco's and it took awhile before all the sizzling bacon sounds went away...😱

    But all is quiet now.  I'll be wrestling with these old reel to reel machines next.  They don't like

    HEYY there @Mossy bottom really good to see ya.

    Do you know what is causing the sizzling and pops on the Dynaco's? This concerns me TBH

    Old Reel to Reels, other than the Revox and the Atari's?

    Glad to see you back
