And as I just posted in the Score thread - the transport isn't working from electrical commands. I can insert and eject a tape but it won't play, FF, or RW and with the top off, it doesn't appear to engage the tape when it's inserted in the play position. It will spin the drum a few seconds and...

In a box with a JVC CD player in an unused office. Powers on, no cables or DATs here at the office; hopefully we'll see if it really works tomorrow. Pay no attention to the BPC Technics receiver - I snagged it from surplus a couple years ago when I moved in here.

Switching back and forth between my Denon DL-301 and DL-304 moving coils as the mood hits. The Talisman Alchemist isn't in their league, so it's just being a collectors item.

• FM Progressive DJ/radio personality at WSIM-FM in 1975. • Shifted over to news, worked as a reporter and news director at WDXB and WGOW/WSKZ from 1975 - 1979. • Public Relations Manager at Chattanooga - Hamilton County Air Pollution Control Bureau in early 1980. • Media Relations Manager at...

Spent every Friday night/Saturday after midnight at WSIM in 1975 splicing in the spots we sold on the Flower Hour tapes we got from DR Productions - I forget who the actual syndicator was. This was before they began distribution on LPs, I think. Either that or we had selected receipt of the...

That's because it's a race to the grocery store and liquor store. Or is it the other way around?

Well, my father-in-law had three kidneys. Both type of kidney stones, too. He was a pretty nice guy but he could be a real joy to be around some days. That's become my plan. Though I get enough time off for travel and I'm not going out to oil rigs in the middle of the night, so I'm enjoying...

I'll have to see how old this iPad is. We upgraded a while back with a newspaper (remember those?) subscription for all electronic delivery- no choice - so the old one is just sitting here on my desk collecting dust.

Congratulations on getting to retirement, Lee! Can't be easy in your business. Just watch out for the stuff you never got done while working, it'll work your ass off.

I'll bet you do...

It's 'cause down South, we're all badasses until a snowflake is spotted.

Atta boy. Start your own vintage audio museum with gear that actually works. Seriously, the opportunity to own a prototype with that pedigree is very cool.

Don't think I've ever been colder than working at Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant in January/February. On the Tennessee River and cotton fields as far as the eye can see - that wind made it bitter cold.

Fair enough.

Tony - feel free to call me behind the times. :) Can't tell from the description if it streams straight wi-fi. Apple Air Play 2 only goes to CD-quality, Bluetooth is even more constricted. I don't use streaming services; they don't pay the artists enough per play so all I'm doing is using my...

It's a 5 watt power supply, Eric. I'd love to do what you're suggesting, just don't know where to start looking. Mouser? DigiKey? Or do I build my own? Are there kits out there?

One of these two gadgets now has my attention: https://www.audioadvisor.com/prstbs2u-blk?sku=NEW-PRSTBS2U-BLK https://www.audioadvisor.com/ifzenstrm?sku=NEW-IFZENSTRM I'd probably lean towards the Pro-Ject DAC streamer as it has the same form factor as the DAC. Need to see how much of my...

Wonder if he even knows they are speakers...

I'd be curious to know as well. He designed the famous electrostatic KLH 9s, which do bring serious money when you find a pair. His 'stats were supposed to be great and as you say, fetch good money these days. That said, I think he sold out and whoever bought the name shifted to dynamic drivers...

Update to this old thread. Just hooked up the Pro-Ject DAC again only this time with it's wall wart power supply. That woke it up! Now we have an improvement over the Tascam, which I've been running for some time now. Found the missing bass to go with the mids and high end air. More separation...
