  1. @Dave1290, Err, uh, blush, I have several sets of Blue Jean Cables as well as Audioquest speaker cables, interconnects, and HDMI cables. 😲
  2. Before we deployed to Vietnam in 1972, I got rid of all of my music stuff that I had collected since about 1960. So, with access to the Navy Exchange in Subic Bay, I began another hoarding adventure! Now I have racks of excess stereo stuff that I've collected since 1972 (Akai, Marantz, Carver, etc.). You know, you have to keep all that stuff just in case! 😲 🀣
  3. Newbie, I have Sansui speaker wire and some RCA cables that go back to 1972! 😲 🀣
  4. @grasshopperPrayers said for healing for Albert and wisdom and guidance for his doctors! Also, prayers said for peace, comfort, and strength for you and your family!
  5. I would recommend that you get the 3.0 version of the Bug-A-Salt over the 2.0 version. And yes, Amazon is where I got mine. Edit to add: It does mention that it works best at 3 feet from the insect, but you can get a little more distance than that. However, it is not a long range weapon.
  6. @dtel, if you are referring to the Bug-A-Salt, YEP, it really does work and it is fun too! I'm still perfecting my on-the-wing skills on wasps and other bugs while they are flying!
  7. Well, this isn't a permanent solution for your wasp problem, but it sure is fun and it will shred a wasp, spider, etc. I have a lot of fun with it, it satisfies my bug eradication needs, it's more fun than a fly swatter, and won't leave holes in your walls or porch ceilings! 😲 πŸ˜‚
  8. Hamburgers, Baked Beans, Potato Salad, and Cherry Cheese Cake here.
  9. Yep, I remember Record Stores! Many of those LPs came from Tower Records.
  10. Well, since we are talking C,C, and C plus C (Cannons), here are a few of mine (Super Rare Winchester Model 1892 Takedown Short Rifle, M1, and Trapdoor Springfield.
  11. Don't worry, the Sahara dust will be in your area soon, so clarity will be replaced by hazy! 😲
  12. Prayers said for Healing for your wife and Peace, Comfort, and Strength for you and your family!
  13. Dave, I'm sorry for your loss! Prayers said for peace, comfort, and strength for you and your family!
  14. We lived in Patmos, Arkansas and I went to school in Hope, Arkansas (7th through the 9th grades), this was about 1957-60. I heard about Klipsch, but wasn't into audio gear at the time; I was into hunting and fishing. When I finally got serious about music and audio equipment, I wanted a pair of Klipsch speakers, but started out with Sansui speakers that I bought while I was in the Navy. I finally satisfied my Klipsch itch in 1998 when I bought my KLF-20's and hooked them up to my Carver CT-7 preamp and M1.0t amp. I still have them in my 2-Channel system and my Home Theater system is all Klipsch in a 5.1.2 setup.
  15. Yep, I'm a fan of Pink Floyd and have their albums on Vinyl, Cassette, and CD. However, for videos I have David Gilmour Live At Pompeii in Blu-ray that I watch/listen to very often with our Home Theater system.

    Thank you

    In Memoriam; remembering those that gave all on our 72-73 Cruise; a crisp salute goes out to you, you aren't forgotten. RIP LCDR Anderson and AZ1 Cobb!
  17. Born in Orange, TX; lived in Southern CA for 35 years, retired in 2006 and moved back to Texas (The Piney Woods, East Texas).
  18. Well, if we really receive it, with mine perhaps a Marantz SR5014 4K UHD 7.2 Channel AVR.
  19. Here’s another picture I took of F4’s on the deck of the USS Midway (CVA-41) during our 72-73 cruise. Notice the MIG kill stenciled on 113; one of VF-161’s Phantoms.
  20. I was in VAW-115 and flew as a member of the AEW crew in the E-2B. The F4’s flying MIGCAP were a great security blanket for us when we were on AEW/Strike Control missions. The last MIG shot down during the Vietnam War was downed on January 12, 1973 by an F4 from VF-161 attached to the USS Midway (CVA-41). Here is a picture I took of Phantom 102, the same F4 that shot down the last MIG, during recovery from a mission earlier during our 1972-73 cruise.
  21. @wvu80 Sorry, I can't answer your question regarding the DACs with any certainty since the SR6011 was a one year earlier model than the SR5012 and is a 9.2 AVR where the SR5012 is a 7.2 AVR. I suspect the SR5012 DACs were updated, but can't say for certain. I did try an SR6012, but didn't need the extra amplifiers and the SR5012 I replaced it with had the same sound quality in my opinion.
  22. I have a Marantz SR5012 that is sitting on the sidelines right now (original owner, box and everything it came with, perfect condition). I took it out of my 5.1.2 system to try out a newer model (2018) Denon AVR-X3500H. Truthfully, I can't really say which one I like the best since they both sound great with my Klipsch speakers, but each has its own strong points. If you don't find the deal of a lifetime πŸ˜‚ elsewhere, then as a last resort we can potentially discuss things via PM since I probably should move one out.
  23. Some of the original predictions for us up here in North/Central East Texas had us getting 6+ inches, but when the depression stalled down south for so long, things changed. I measured .06 inches of rain on Wednesday, .38 inches on Thursday, and so far .05 inches today. Basically, we are damp! On the positive side, with the rain we have received and the overcast, I haven't had to run the lawn sprinkler system! And, it has been too damp to mow; ah shucks!!!!! We are very dry up here and could have used more rain, but I'll take dampness over flooding!!!!
  24. IMHO, for quality or high-end items (audio, guns, etc.) the original boxes and packing always adds value and increases the interest in what you are selling! I rarely, and I do mean rarely, buy any used audio equipment without the original boxes and packaging and I never get rid of boxes and packaging either. Heck, I still have a Marantz 4400 (Quad Receiver) in the original box and Marantz overseas shipping box that I purchased in the Yokosuka, Japan Navy Exchange in January 1975 when I was transitioning back to NAS Miramar. It is sitting in a storage rack with all of my old Carver equipment, all in their original boxes! 😲
