I stream this station overnight sometimes cause that is the classical stream. They play Jazz in the overnight hours over the air. I don't know enough classical music. WRTI plays 'Get Out of Bed and Get Moving' classical in the mornings and I like this kind. Not so much for screeching...

I've had a couple pair and recapped them to the same with films and mirrored them. Got a couple pair of bespoke stands made and sold a pair to a buddy in our audio group. Other pair in my mains, look and work great with 50 watts of tube power (I use subs so the tube amps aren't doing anything...

Lots of change in weather across the US the past year and it continues with snow in the Upper and mid-summer heat just to the west. Hope everyone can handle this. Hope the flooding isn't bad across the river valleys in the middle of the country.

The Adcom Cross Coil Line Trace cartridge is the same as the SAE 1000LT HOMC cartridges being offered for a c-note on the bay this week. Thought I would give mine a spin and compare it to the ADC XLM I have on my lightweight tonearm. Was going to be comparing the TD-126/∞Black Widow/ADC...

I have split the bottles of silicone fluid Mark and I had into 5ml o-ring sealed plastic vials for ease of use and to help folks that need a couple different viscosities for audio work. Most cuing needs a 100,000-500,000cSt fluid and maybe 0.5ml, maybe that much. Usually less. The typical...

What do you guys think about the growth in size of the standard pickup truck? Would a new 1970s size pickup do the work you guys need the truck to do? Other than LDS does a commuter/grocery getter pickup need to be as big as they are today? Only because I used to be able to pull wheels...

I posted the pic of a table I bought in October/November last year in the doing today thread as I finally moved it into the rig Had to clear the workbench and then go over the table a bit, cleaning, setup and general looking it over. Did that yesterday and today. First of at least 4 tables...

I listen from the other room sometimes which means I need to use a bit of power from the sand amp in my main rig. I did this one day a couple months ago and a disc or two into the music I'm smelling something. What is that, that doesn't smell like things in the house are right. I get up to...

Over in Barter Town there is a pair of the M7a with stands for a grand. The discussions in the dumpster dive thread here, you know the one where Nando is holding back on posting pics of his recent theft from his friend, Keith for well below market price on three truck loads of very well kept...

Posted about grabbing these at a great price in the ongoing thread. Had em 4 days. Tried em on the computer, very comfortable, just circles around each ear, dual metal bands providing light pressure clamping power over the head and a fake suede top of head band with dual rubber bands providing...

It seems that there might be some tensions between the US and two of the countries that are major suppliers of tubes these days, China and Russia. If things go one way the massive sanctions on Russia might cut off that supply of tubes and these are considered to be the better tubes available...

Bruce selling his catalog for $500 million to Sony. Money he can use now and Sony gets an income stream. Others have sold out but this one is for a few more bucks. Previous sales were in the 300 million range. I guess Bruce can now plan his future and buy what he needs. Dylan sold his for...

WXPN in Phila, part of the Univ of PA is a singer songwriter station mostly and I do enjoy listening. But at the end of the year they do different things that take a lot of air time. At 88.5 on the dial they have done 885 best songs as voted by the listeners or 885 albums or other things. This...

This unit is a bit rough on the outside, faceplate with some bruises maybe a 6/10 but it is functionally 100% and has been recapped. A friend has one and we are wondering.

Just before Halloween I swapped the discpack in the car and in went the two Phoenix Christmas CDs. Seems the national news was talking about getting started on shopping and many places are going early this year because there are 6 fewer days between Thanksgiving and Christmas so we good sell...

Once I got the rig fired up it was time to play some of my Christmas music. Wanted to hear Pacabel's Canon and the rest of that disc and a friend gave me three 'seasonal' recordings, one is TSO so I found those. Along with the classical I pulled out a couple Christmas tunes disc that will get...

I picked up a couple Crown amps last week from an original owner, smoking home. It is a lot of work to get them clean again. Here is the B4 and after of the two amps and a picture of the disassembly needed to get the smaller amp clean. Each piece of gear needs this cleaning which takes a good...

A lucky fellow in France stumbled onto this 1800 I and paid twice the asking price. Since it is a trashed unit, his description is better, he will be completely rebuilding it with pictures. Probably well worth a visit. http://audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=584844

I picked up a PD-F507 Pioneer cdp a few years ago and intended to use it for seasonal music. It holds 25 CDs and when I got my Christmas CD card from Phoenix Audio Community I had to get this machine out and tuned up. I don't know what it was doing wrong before but probably being a bit...
