Looks great.  Is that an Ortofon Red on it?

Yes. I couldn't decide on the cartridge. I'm new to turntables. Haven't had one in years. Looking at reviews, it seemed to be a good midrange choice until I decide how deep I want to go. I think it sounds great, but I have nothing to go off of.

 

Really like the wood too.

I love both of my Ortofon red and blue. I don't really feel any need to spend anymore, although some would disagree.

How is the blue? Is it a big difference from the red? It was another $136 for the blue. I was tempted.

It's not a huge difference, but it is a difference. I have them mounted on different turntables, the blue is on a techniques SL 1400 Mark II and the red is on a pioneer vintage machine. Yes that new avatar comes out at the beginning of every college football season, and then goes back into storage for the off-season.

I don't think that's a DeWalt saw is it?

Looks impressive, and expensive.

It is an up cut circular saw with a 30" blade! It has locking mechanisms to hold the product in place (and square) and can automatically miter itself. Even pushes the product to the right length (+/- a 32nd). Tech comes in a week to get it up and running. Some of my guys want to do it but it's in the price and probably worth the wait.

Me again.........................just loving this thing!  

I get my internet TV through my Sony BD player, no smart TV.

 

Excuse my ignorance, I really have a hard time understanding this kind of tech.  Can you explain why is the Firestick so great? 

 

Does it do more than a smart TV does?  Are all the apps like Netflix and Hulu active, or is that an additional monthly subscription?  I didn't see Youtube on the box with the other apps.

Access content... usually proprietary.

 

Whoever has the biggest library usually wins.

 

These units can be jail broken so you can access internet based repositories, but for me it's a struggle to keep up with the ever changing landscape of free repositories. I tried with a nVidia shield, the best system there is, but my preference is for an ease of use and vast library as part of a monthly fee. nVidia doesn't have a subscription library so it wasn't my cup of tea. Apple tv, Amazon Fire are the best two besides Sony.
