Refreshing to see some new terrain and actually found some 93 octane No ethanol. Thought the best way to circulate through the system was a blast or two into triple digits. Which on this machine don’t take long — let her eat — Awesome machine....are you able to give that bike full throttle for very long? 5 minutes ago, CECAA850 said: 2'nd gear?

JohnJ Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Got some pretty good 14 g on the pc speakers. Just found some 12 in a box, looks like 50 ft lengths so that will improve if I use the AQ Type 4 on a newer tv sound setup. Used the maple syrup on my bad coffee today, it was still bad just more sweet. I'm going to email them about this and see if I can trade for the Narino SOE or the Guatemalan that's copasetic. They've been good to me, shipping is almost next day so can't hurt to ask. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the “R” model with less radical cam timing revving to 13000 not 15000 as does the “RR”. You know just a bike to putt around town. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ME coffee brands you recommend ? ME has been trading with Kenya and Ethiopia since at least 1000 BC Roman Emperors made a lot of money off of their spice ships from India, Egypt, Spices were purchased in India and brought up the red sea then caravan to Roman ports on Egypt's n Coast, then all over the empire .... and adjacent trading partners for gold and silver etc When Italy left their colonies in Ethiopia, many Italians stayed and are part of the commercial and banking class. The business relationships in this part of the world are hundreds of years old or perhaps thousands in some cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use std 12 GA copper with gold banana plugs for units that accept them for speakers 16 GA lamp cord works fine too, it was the std when most of the Heritage speakers were designed Clamp connections on amps are fine too, easy and fast and cheap. RCAs I use Cables direct shielded with gold plated connectors Affordable, excellent flexibility, good connections I groom the cable on the backs of the racks to keep speaker cables from crossing power cords etc Belden makes excellent products, I use them for FM coax, zero loss over 100 ft runs for FM Belden in wall twisted pair cables probably outperform any other speaker cables of any kind. If I ever move or rewire I may use the twisted pair cables. Shielded USB cables Glass tosslink cables for optical isolation to prevent ground loops Std power cords, star into APC Sequencers with over and under protection also minimizes ground loop problems Everything that feeds my Mac pre-amp is plugged into it, again star grounding. I may buy another short inexpensive power strip and move all the plugs onto it, then into one jack on the back of the pre amp to clean up the power cord mess on the back of the preamp. Attach the power strip to the rack with strong cable ties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubo Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 My Bike looks like this in Black, 1977 860 GTS Too much traffic within 75 miles of Chicago to ride safely. So it sits under a Tarp. When I lived near DC 45 years ago you could ride into open country and rolling hills in minutes or ride through the city on the weekend or mid day. Would frequently take the parkway past Glen Echo and Georgetown into DC and onto the Whiteherst Freeway staying along the Potomac River. City has more than doubled in pop since then, US has added 100 million cars since then and at least 100 million people. Weekend nights Mr Henry's in NW usually had a lot of not Harley's parked out front, and talented local rock bands playing with large open windows during the warm evenings. Class 5, Central Office with stepper switches across the street was always fun to watch through the open windows. Still plenty of pulse dials. Affordable cheese burgers with chips, rock music, pitchers of affordable Bud, and a sweet aroma permeating the street.

I think that will be my next audio purchase. The Node 2i works fine with my laptop and Windows 8.1. I make play list on the lap top with Tidal and then play it through the Node. If I want to delete a song or edit I have to go back to lap top/Tidal to do that. That seems a bit cumbersome but I'm not a techie so......... I think SWL mentioned he was having some difficulty getting the Node to recognize Qobus. Wonder if he got it sorted out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I recalled why just the other day when I was sitting in the barbers chair and looked out at those waiting and no one was talking to each other. They were all staring into their phone. 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
