Sweet! I helped a member here with pickup and shipping of that same model. Only had it hooked for a few hours but I was very impressed with it. Heavy son of a gun and deep as well.

Congrats and enjoy!

So far I am very pleased! I have had many amps over the years and this one has something special.

The B&K 200.7 was my second multi-channel amp.  It was fantastic.  Only sold it when I upgraded to the Sherbourn 7/2100 (200x7) amp.

There was an estate sale in my neighborhood and I saw the "Live in Paris" cd. I have read in many threads that Ms Krall had a voice made for Klipsch speakers. My wife and I have a few trips planned for this summer and she is tired of mY usual playlist. She likes Adele and I figured she might like This, so I invested the two bucks. Played it while driving to the church to set up our monthly food bank. My wife sez: Yeah, I can listen to this. 

 I sez dayum, she has a great backing band! I take a closer look at the cd case. WHAT?!!??? She plays the piano as well? Holy talent, Batman! 

  Anyway, cruised the local Goodwill stores and got three more cd's for three bucks.

    Why have I not seen any comments about the music she plays, only talk about her voice?

 I think Diana Krall is a better piano player than she is a singer. She tends to get a bit breathy in her delivery, which limits her to a second tier jazz singer in my book. She does choose excellent material from the jazz canon that suits her style perfectly and has stellar sidemen on her albums. Don't think I am being too critical, I have 8 or so of her records.

I just ordered this $7 remote for my Onk 717 AVR from China.  I know what you're thinking, this post should go into the "What I Will Get 3 Weeks from Now" thread but I couldn't find one.

 

I feel pretty confident in this transaction as according to the ad, there are "more than 49% sold."

 

It looks like I'm their second customer and the other guy who bought one was pretty happy.  Besides, if I don't like it I have 30 days to send it back to China, so what have I got to lose?     🉐️ (Japanese sign meaning "bargain.)

I know you're not supposed to quote yourself, but Emile gave me a smiley and the remote already came in so I thought I'd update you.

 

The remote is brain damaged.  It will control the Onkyo 717 AVR but CAN NOT be programmed to run any other device like the original.  A specific button needed to be used in tandem with the TV button (for instance) is NOT on the remote.  It's just missing!

 

I contacted China and the response was "Dear Friend there is no manual and I am not a programmer.  Sorry."

Driver ran red light when Jeffrey was in process of protected left turn.

Just hope he is alright in the long run, other driver probably distracted with a phone.

Passport expired so we needed to get a new pic to mail in with the renewal. Local chain drugstore does them, Walgreens, $30 for us to get the 2 little pics to mail in, thought that was high for a little pic, but it is an "official" passport picture. Next is the cost to renew, this will make the picture seem cheap.

 

Good thing it last 10 years.Told the kid behind the counter something's wrong it's old people in the pics, the 18 year old laughed. ☹️

Local fella selling gear had a pair of pass ACA mono amps on the cheap, I love mine,  so why not pick them up for backups. Brought them home hooked them up with my existing power supplies they sound just fine. Now I have the pass B-1 buffer / pre I got from rich I could actually set up another system :)  Decisions decisions

Thanks Carl, Jeffrey had dropped off the pax about 5 minutes before. Looking for a replacement Genesis Coupe or FR-S
