Happy Birthday to you, Ron! I hope life is treating you well. Have you completed your audio down-sizing, or you going to break from practice and treat yourself to something new (which can mean old, but worthy)? Nando.

Hi all, After work on Friday, I dropped into a used goods stores called "Pearl's Seconds." Just a day prior, there were a pair of speakers I had intended to purchase, but ran out of time as the store was closing. I thought the speakers would be there the next day, so I didn't bother to have...

You have just joined our forum, but it's tradition to wish all our members the best wishes and good health on their special day. Happy Birthday, Richard! Nando.

Best wishes for a Happy Birthday, Graham. Nando.

Hi all, As I have been depleting my collection of vintage stereo components, I don't know what compelled me to pick this receiver up last week. I think foremost it was the fact it was a Sanyo and I hadn't seen one like this before. Cosmetically, it is a very clean receiver and it has some...

I hope you are getting wiser as you are getting older. Wishing you the best during your me-day. Nando.

Hi all, Three weeks ago, Doug (fitz43) and I met at West Vancouver, after work, so that I could return his Larrt WOPL 1000 Phase Linear 700 B power amplifier, which I had been borrowing since early June. I can say the PL 700 B sure felt like it was at home in my stereo stand. I admire the...

Hi all, I hope this hasn't been started in a different thread within the PL Tips and Archive sub-forum. This ad appeared in my April 1977 issue of Stereo Review magazine: Nando.

Anything going on in your part of Canada to celebrate Canada Day? I worked, yesterday, and we had a barbeque last night: chicken with special homemade sauce, corn on the cob, new potatoes, salad, and fresh strawberries on cheesecake for dessert. And a few beer and Malbec wine, of course...

Hi all, Lucky me, Doug (member fitz43) had loaned me his worked over PL 700 B at the beginning of June. We had met at the Innovative Audio Garage Sale. He graciously offered me his amp on loan and, in exchange, I lent him a few MiniDisc recordings for him to play on his new MD deck he had...

Happy birthday to you, Sam. Are you up to your ying-yang in audio repairs? Today, would be a good enough reason to take a time-out for yourself. Nando.

Greetings to our newest members registering here in the past couple of days: vince666, Vintage Shadow, and southcoast68. You are more than welcome in typing a few lines, in this thread, to formally introduce yourselves. Nando.

Hi all, My oldest son, Matthew, who is 29 years old, had a bad mountain bike accident on Wednesday, August 8th. Either Geri and I have been at the Vancouver General Hospital, to ensure a family member was with him on a daily basis, since he was admitted to the Neuro Sciences ICU, that fateful...

Hi all, I got an exceedingly good deal from Larry on a pair of Tara Lab cables. These are the third pair I've received from Larry. My Ist pair are in use for my Sony X7ESD CDP, and my second pair are used on the output (play) from my new Pioneer Elite MJ-17D MiniDisc deck. This third pair will...

I would have posted this in the "Announcement" section but I don't think general members can post a new topic there. Happy Birthday, John, from another 52 year-old! How did we get here this quickly? Nando.

Here's the sordid story on this CDP: While checking with our Squamish Mini-Flea Market about a collection of car audio 8-track players about to be unpacked from storage and be put up for viewing, I began speaking with a young kid in his 20's about some gear he was about to demo. I helped him...

Yesterday, Geri and I ran a few errands in town. I had to pick up my Pioneer RT-1020L from Innovative Audio, as it had a full servicing completed on it. I love this old Pioneer, above even my other decks. While there, Geri looked around the record section and picked out a few albums for her...

Let's see: will she be given the day off with pay? I doubt it, but I know she is too shy to ask. You know you are getting older when you can postpone you birthday celebrations to the weekend. Or do you begin tonight and go into the weekend? Happy Birthday wishes from one of the many old codgers...

I took a look at our Vancouver Craigslist today. I typed in vintage for the search and found these:[attachment=0:3i2gd0ux]JBL 4350B Speakers.jpg[/attachment:3i2gd0ux][attachment=0]JBL 4350B Nando.

Today, I mailed out a CD to Larry. It's an older CD of Colin James. Colin is Canadian, of course. Larry is managed by a Canadian, last I heard. Nando.
