    I've always thought I had a first pressing of Machine Head, maybe I do. This new to me one is more lightweight vinyl same 1972 everywhere but it has a take out lyrics poster in it.

    Their first seven plus a live one their second release I have was printed in Germany.

    the ruskies were nice, thanx

    Here's one that I had made at a custom furniture store. I just told them to make X model book case at only half the depth. 7' tall, 4' wide and holds about 1,400 discs.

    Got "Under My Wheels" on vinyl after all of these years. That LP is my favorite Alice.

     

    Cowboy "Why Quit When You're Losin' " has credits for Duane & Chuck on the back. It's a Capricorn release also!

    The movie from Stanley Kubrick " Clockwork Orange " is still a movie classic...Phil Collins ..in the air tonight ....YEAH

    Alrighty @MicroMara, did get to listen to Gregory Porter the other night. Got that "Nat & Me" bookmarked and that voice of his is pure velvety smooth! Does he always have that cap thing on in every picture of him?

    So my brother dropped in for a couple of days, time to fire up the ultrasonic again! He's going to make a larger hand-off happen he says "soon" Those crates won't fit in his Corolla with the twelve and "close to eight" year olds with him. Brought some more Cs plus Crimsons first... a first pressing in good shape. Here's an inkling of what I'll be enjoying soon.

    Chester & Lester??

    = Atkins & Paul

    The ultrasonic plate washing machine did this quickly. I can order one from Hong Kong, under $ 200. Think that's a good price. And yes Gregory Porter is wearing He always wears this hat, even at a live concert, even on all record covers. It's like his trademark......I also love Clapton and JJ Cale and Chicago´s ..if you leave me now......

  7. I didn't have much time to listen to music today, so I had to make new speaker cables for a friend.

    Only the jazz funk group level 42 with the exceptional bass player Mr. Marc King were running today and then I felt like Santana's Caravanserai.

    Yes, and I'll show you the finished speaker cable here, if you allow it, for once...the rattlesnake design....

    I have a McIntosh DVD player (MVP871). When I walk across the carpeted floor to turn on a table lamp, the DVD player's remote control's back light turns on when the static electricity jumps between my hand and the lamp switch. This also happens if the remote is in my hand and I turn on a wall switch near by.

     

    Now, is the static jump causing a signal to be transmitted through the electric lines to the DVD player or is there an electric of field causing the back light to come on?

     

    Hmmmmmmm.......

    I know that sounds totally crazy, but the electric charge can also be caused by synthetic clothing. Polyester or acrylic parts are very susceptible. If the carpet has a high proportion of these substances, it can also be related to it. But please don't laugh at me now. If I ever had a blanket around my body that was mainly made of these materials, I was always wiped when I touched the SACDP / DAC or the amp and it flashed on the device.
