Looks like things are very busy around the forum, I read through some pages to catch up! LONGISH UPDATE and NEWS! I thought I would take this time to announce that I 'upgraded' the Rega RP-6. I was SO happy with the Ortofon BLUE on the U-Turn, that I decided to make the change for the P-6. I brought the table into our BRAND NEW high end, brick and mortar audio shop yesterday, and one of the fine fellows did all the setup while I watched and took photos. It was a steal of a deal, and the reason I keep going back there. This new store is HUGE. Grand Opening a couple weeks ago. Mayor was there and other city officials. It was a private by invitation only for patrons. Catered food all day, OPEN bar, big tent out in the brand new parking lot. Stage at one end, six piece live band, 4 - 85" screens around the place so you could watch the band from different places etc. High top tables to stand up and eat/visit at. The place is family owned, and has been in operation since 1983. This new store is like going to an audio show ! The building was once a frozen food distributor. Now, 2/3rds is inventory (looks like a Home Depot in there !), the other is all showroom. THREE dedicated, insulated, double walled, identical listening rooms! They carry affordable 2 channel receivers all the way to the very upscale products. One listening room has the flagship Martin Logan NEOLITH! They are also a Klipsch dealer, ALL the Heritage line is there! You may ask, the Jubilie as well?? YOU BET!, and man are those things HUGE !! Many products I have only seen in youTube reviews or in photos, when you see them in person, it is amazing. They even carry the JBL line. Well, I can go on and on. But this clearly puts my state on the map with one of the finest audio stores in the country for sure. Thanks for reading my LONG update. I will try to be around a bit more, cheers 🍷 ! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 You're paying your bills and I'm spending it. New pair of shades, 5 hours on the road to get the table checked out. He put an album on and said it looks good, checked the table speed 33.29 sooooo? 5 hours drive time wasted @4.57 per gallon? Nope not totally wasted cause he didn't charge me anything. Worked for me! Not really, so no smiley face at the end of that sentence. I couldn't come up with a thing until I remembered someone asked me if the "brownout" went up north of them.. I was clueless. The day it slowed way down was super hot and I'd been playing all day. Bingoooo!!! That's the way it went down. Had to be. 😂 Back in line and sounds amazing after a couple weeks without it. I'm road testing it a bit. Neighbors are pissed off again! 😂😂😂 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeloManiac Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Completely off topic: both the wife and I are seriously ill with covid, in isolation at home. Please be careful when you go to concerts or festivals! Nb Typically, I feel like dying, while the wife says it's like flue symptoms. 😉 I worry a lot, because I have some chronic medical issues. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get well soon mate If you were immunised earlier you should get past it quickly even if you are currently in discomfort In my job I actually do Covid 19 cleans on a daily basis - the speciality chemicals I use must be keeping me safe Plus I always wear a mask weather I need it or not I may have mentioned in the past that I’m qualified to clean hospital operating theatres 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Threw this double gatefold down last evening and got totally lost in a nano second. Ray Charles with "Genius loves company" hooks you in a hearbeat! Record Store Day release... Genius Loves Company is the final studio album by rhythm and blues and soul musician Ray Charles, posthumously released August 31, 2004, on Concord Records.[1] Recording sessions for the album took place between June 2003 and March 2004.[2] The album consists of rhythm and blues, soul, country, blues, jazz and pop standards performed by Charles and several guest musicians, such as Natalie Cole, Elton John, James Taylor, Norah Jones, B.B. King, Gladys Knight, Diana Krall, Van Morrison, Willie Nelson and Bonnie Raitt. Genius Loves Company was the last album recorded and completed by Charles before his death in June 2004. :) 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Snagged this RSD release in a heartbeat! He's played with so many great groups and one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. He's truly comfy in his laid back style which always was a great addition to anyone he ever played with. Some great old songs on this one! Paul Richard Furay (born May 9, 1944) is an American singer, songwriter, and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame member (with Buffalo Springfield). He is best known for forming the bands Buffalo Springfield with Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Bruce Palmer, and Dewey Martin, and Poco with Jim Messina, Timothy B. Schmit, Rusty Young, George Grantham and Randy Meisner.[1] His best known song (originally written during his tenure in Buffalo Springfield, but eventually performed by Poco, as well) was "Kind Woman," which he wrote for his wife, Nancy. Not many out there but it's well worth it and leaves ya craving a bit more than you'd think, imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreG. Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 I don´t think I complain about things (that much), but is it really too much to ask for a paper sleeve (imitating the LP cover) for the CD? George @MicroMara, what do You think, it´s the same set your purchased, right? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 That is one powerful piece of music @dirtmudd. I'd recommend everyone following it over to yt and reading that first comment. If it's true then that might be that legend's most profound recording. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
