JohnJ Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 With you this week Willie, it's the receiver going bonkers. Lasagna huh? I'm a big fan if it's got meat in it! With me for six months it's been my phone. It wasn't a year old when the connector on it for the charging wire failed and I couldn't charge it anymore. So I got them to send me another and it's a refurb *&%$. I still had to pay off the original. At least I could recharge it but it's had intermittent issues of it's own. Put the RC version of android 12 on it today and it let me send MB pictures with texts again. That was my latest affliction the last couple of weeks! It was a Screamin'-Sicilian Supreme out of the freezer tonight for me! Pretty good taste and a better than that crust. Without a good crust I just won't mess with it! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Get me started on the YAMAHAs from the 70s - early 90s. Then their specs falling off the charts just years later. I researched and I found a semi-respectable unit that won't do the same decibels, but might be better with the timbre of the music and sound quality... all crated up two hundred miles away right now😢 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Pacer check up today and I'm back to abby-normal. I got the boot for a year and a half. Got home and got a call to slip an hour away to go to an Albert Cummings show tomorrow night. Cooling down a bit in the evenings now so might have to bundle up a bit. Guy said he had a "pod" next to the stage. Why am I having visuals of a St Bernard's outside igloo dog house? Six heads vying for time peeking out the door of it? He also told me to bring a lawn chair if I wanted to. Could be a nanu nanu moment. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an older Yamaha in Phoenix.

JohnJ Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 That old Yah looks my old RX1100. The tuners that came with them were the best I've ever had...before and afterwards too. Record Out is a cool feature, you could listen to something else while recording what you chose to record. It would need servicing though. S-N Ratio ++++++ THD ---- Channel separation ++++ Crosstalk --- Mine could double as a heater when it was cool and we had to open up to let the thc clouds out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I had a Yamaha system, once. I bought it while I was on Kauai. Don't know the model #s. Got in '92 or '93. A "Natural Sound" 5.1... the main speakers required a hand truck to move. Wasn't cheap... I think I paid $2000. I enjoyed it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grasshopper Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 looked at it for several months... then, one day we went to get a water heater and came home with a sound system, too... was almost an impulse buy... first things first the stereo was up and running before the water heater 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Interesting evening. My "Pod" turned out to be an 10' circle on the blacktop in a parking lot next to the Marathon Oil Company's Civic Center in Findlay, Oh. Pod cost was $100 so it was actually $15 each. About 15 "Pods" total were put down for those worried about Covid. The rest of the crowd paid $13 each to stand behind the bicycle fence behind us for 2 hours while we sat in our lawn chairs. Total attending? Like 200 people total. Albert put on a great show and I had the opportunity to chat w/him a bit after. Great guy! Taught some of the farmers just a bit about the blues. Summer concert series finale for the town. 45 minutes away so that worked too! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grasshopper Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 No new receiver, yet.... I may be getting another laptop ... for $10. My wife calls me frugal -- I say "cheap". I'll have to take a drive to Yuma for it. A reconditioned unit from a friend. I don't care about old/new... I don't use my "computer" for much more than communications device, photo processing and streaming music. It will a nice time, to visit friends. Make big smoke, tell bigger stories and have some laughs. That will happen mid Oct, when they get back from the PNW... Still thinking I'll be able to get a receiver local. From a shop in Tucson. The stereo hospital referred old clients to a "new" guy... I assume he has some older stuff left behind... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
