Very cool. I assume this is for your RAAL amp experiment?

A Grahameburger and fries - the bacon.

Happy Birthday Mikey!

Ooh, I smell a personal story...

Even worse. She made him wear that same outfit at sexytime.

I've never seen one without coat hangers. BTW, I pick the grey swatch on the left. Gay designer fee waved.

RIP Alex Trebek.

Beautiful! Downtown Fairfax is one long party! Haven't felt this good in a long time!

Today is NOT a shitty day anywhere in the country.

What is that White stuff? Something about it jogs memories, but they're unclear.

Somebody's been shopping at Parts Express.

Interesting choice of words. 😋

Of course you're right. At least we can agree that the man sparking that flame appears to be out of a job. A major reason for celebration. It's a large battle won in an even larger war.

Fascism in America, RIP!

I remember him from the show. A real likable guy. So sad, only 48.

WTF?

I have always wanted to hear Bob's Silver Seven T amps, powering his Amazing Loudspeakers.

Are those Definitive Technology?

San Rafael Lumber wants $50.90 for a 2' x 4' sheet of 3/4" birch ply. That's an obscene price. I'd need two and would waist 1/3 of each sheet. Rocker has 3/4" Baltic birch ply. 24" x 30" sheets for $12.49 ea. I'll need two with very little waist @ 20" x 30".

I saw that they have a new model. I also like their Rega counterweight, but already have the Pete Riggle counterweight and VTA set. I have ordered some of the wood for the stand and purchased the rest locally. It might be a few weeks for the Baltic Birch ply to arrive. But it was 1/4 the price online than what I'd pay local.

This is the one and only time I've felt trepidation showing my own meat.

My invite must have gotten lost in the mail. Damn that DeJoy!

RIP Mr. Connery. We're all a bit shaken, but not stirred.

Making some progress. A belt should arrive today. Hoping it will fit, but not completely sure until it shows up. The speed controller was DC. It ran off of a motorcycle battery. Noise free, but not the most convenient, so a simple DC to AC wall wart later and problem solved. My TICE Audio Solo power conditioner should keep things clean enough (no relation). The input and output of the Pass Pearl have been figured out. This is a top notch phono stage. And the ZuAudio rebodied Denon DL-103 is out for repair. The cantilever was broken off just past the pivot. I honestly don't remember how that happened. But it's getting an upgraded, tapered cantilever and a new square shank, high polish, diamond true ellipsoid needle to replace the missing, stock round needle. Should be a nice sonic improvement. Now I just need to concentrate on a new, larger stand. it needs to be 20" x 36" to house the turntable and the motor pod. I'd like the top to be thick butcherblock and the base of the stand to be a separate unit. I'll then use the Big Feet isolator feet in between. I'd like a low shelf for record storage and an 8' shelf on top of that to house the phono stage, speed controller and record cleaning gear.

Sorry to argue, but that's what's known as a coping mechanism. The remedy is moving somewhere warm. It took me 40 years to learn that.
