Na, no masterpiece but something useful made from cheap components. And if you put some love in it, something nice comes out in the end. 

Architectural Chic... nice job...

Pick up only... and I don´t have 300 bugs at the moment (I added the fictional postage.). Plus, what about the other pair? I could dismantle them for parts... yeah... Damn...

You all dried out and settled again @billybob?   Those hurricanes coming in down your way would drive me insane.

Finishing the raking and picking up. No rush like some neighbors. Cause then, I will want to mow it. One day at a time. Plenty of food for the eating and other things. Out of town vendors from Florida Could have been far worse. Was actually surprised by my high and dry location. Others here not as fortunate yet, lots here know the routine by now. Liver getting rehydrated... slowly.

Spun an old Peter, Paul, & Mary this morning. Thanks!

Hoping Hurricane Lee, turns North away from coast all the way, away from Canada.

Today, out of nothing, I changed the gain setting of my iFi Zen Phono preamp to mm (see Pic). It had been on Mc high ever since I bought it. Although I have an mm cartridge, back then, I thought the Mc high setting sounded louder and therefore better. But today, after setting it to mm, I realise I was wrong all along. 

Set to mm, it sounds slightly less loud, but it is so much more well balanced, the highs and the lows I mean, and there is so much more subtleness to the recordings. I listened to Daft Punk's RAM, side 1 up to 4, Charly Hunter's Bing Bing Bing (jazz), and some obscure but excellent JS Bach harmonia Mundi record by Kuijken/Leonhardt, and the subtleness increase is present in all genres.

@GWSmith Interesting! Any stories to share of how this almost came about?

 

Hi there Andre and friends.  Andre, look at that album and see if 'Jim Bell' is in the musicians lineup as guitarist.  I will tell you more...  ;)

...Meanwhile, a LAZY Sunday afternoon here, with storms and rain and CLOSE lightning etc.   So, after things calmed down, I got my glass of Cab. vino, and am listening to this one, not heard in a long while.IMG-2847-Copy.jpg

Not on this album, but Discogs mentions the name in the members section.
