  1. I forgot about him- I was thinking hifi more than guitar amp but I agree. He even has a dog that can sniff out bad caps
  2. I don't know about the fisher but #1 you already have it, #2 you can get a taste of tubes and see if you want to live with them, #3 You've got valuable input from Henry. I agree w/ respect to parts kits- you don't get to choose the ingredients. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=mr+carlson's+lab doesn't mostly point to point work and makes it look less scary https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChTN8got77QeKPFRmTJ0teg is pretty methodical https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=elams+1894 makes it all look like audio/asmr/porn
  3. Like ethanol and coal.
  4. Looks like no one mentioned Elekit. They're kits from Japan and seem to be well regarded. Just under $2k in the US. Not sure if you're looking for a kit but you'd get more for your money... https://www.elekit.co.jp/en/product/TU-8900E https://diyaudiostore.com/products/elekit-tu-8600s The best I heard was a $25k border patrol w/ 4 WE 300Bs playing through Volti Razz at the NY audio show last spring. https://www.borderpatrol.net/amplifiers/ I have a tubes4hifi VTA ST120 p/p that I built w/ KT120s and Chorus 2's. I need to do some maintenance on it and currently playing through a Dynaco ST120 s/s that needs an overhaul ASAP. I have the parts, just need approval for the workspace. Not the same situation as yours but more to think about.
  5. Sorry this one’s not vinyl but it’s in the spirit. I got this CD when it first came out Some friends hooked me up to see them in 2011… Great show and mick was a nice guy too.
  6. That's cool. This set has the three LP's as well with lyrics. It's pretty clean sounding.
  7. Given the current climate...
  8. "Getting some of it here in Ohio too. Sad to see all of the fires up there. Such beautiful country. ANY forest fire is sad to see." When I shot that at 6:45am, the air quality index was about 147. Right now it's 193 and you can smell it. Real sad.
  9. Just listened to this (Episode 1440) https://www.wtfpod.com One of a kind... "Read "I am not Spock" - No! Better listen to the audio-book by Leonard Nimoy! He tells us all about the greatest prankster that ever lived on this planet. R.I.P. Mister Nimoy/ Spock."
  10. Thanks Dave. It can't always be Dire Straits and King Crimson. Nothing wrong with them, btw.
  11. This goes back a few years but may be worth a read- AND things may have changed: https://dynacotubeaudio.forumotion.com/t2097-sophia-electric-virginia-usa-yeah-sure?highlight=sophia
  12. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/recipe-jim-laheys-basic-no-knead-bread/ Sorry for the CBS link. I got the book and it's my go to. BTW, using a scale is a game changer- no more mess- do it all in grams. I do the second rise on the parchment paper and lower the whole thing into the dutch oven. If any does stick, it peels off when cooling.
  13. I have no experience with this. Just remembered it and thought it might help
  14. You could have a look here. They have an FAQ section. No personal affiliation other than as an occasional customer. https://www.bluejeanscable.com
  15. I've heard cuts from that one George.It's good. It may be my next Bowie. Thanks!
  16. I looked 2 days ago on EBay and there were about 4 pair and a single. If YOU look you might find some.
  17. Maybe Danny Richie can get these old things sorted out for me. After that they'll go to ASR for a full scope review ...
  18. When I win them, I'll be back to ask about upgrading the x/o's, drivers, etc... 😜
  19. I inherited the TT. It was my stepdad's. He was a musician and had that with a Marantz (w/ the oscilloscope), Tandberg R2R, and Altec VOT's. My mom got him one of the first Sony CD players- the specs were hand written IIRC. His kid's got the rest. Grateful to have the TD125mk2. I had it overhauled by Vinyl Nirvana before bringing it to it's new home. It plays with a Denon DL103, Ned Clayton SUT, re-done Dynaco PAT4, soon to be re-done Dynaco ST120 (summer), VTA ST120 for cooler times, and Chorus 2's. After completing the VTA120 build, the first album I played on it was Hunky Dory. That's a keeper too!
