Caps vs Rangers one of the best series I've watched in a long time! GO HAWKS! Going to be a rough series against Ducks. Was hoping caps would pull it out, but think the best four teams are left. Even though I'm a wings fan til I die. Still haven't got over game seven loss to hawks a couple years ago. now this year to Tampa.

Lee Morgan "The Gigolo" 45rpm blue note

Wayne Shorter "Wayning moments" vinyl Vee jay records

CHET BAKER "Roundmidnight" This a 1998 reissue CD from Challenge Records. Super recording, GREAT RECORD! hunt one down, you'll be glad you did.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE!!!

Belated Happy birthday Fitz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The big 3....0! Hope all is well.

I'm a huge fan. Own every one old and new, vinyl and CD. But the more I listen to "Back on Top" can't stop thinking to me its the the best record hes made. That's among 5-6 killers. If your out and about and see the CD used, grab it! The slow ballads are freaking killer. Listening now, track 5, when the leaves come falling down. GREAT MUSIC!!

In a Jazz mood so far today. going since 6:00am. Wynton Marsalis "Black codes" Jimmy Smith & Wes Montgomery "Dynamic Duo" Bill Evans "waltz for debby" Shelby Mann/Bill evans "Empathy" Duke ellington & Johnny Hodges "back to back" Play the blues

System is sounding like good SS system.....to bad that only about 20% of average tube system. IMO only of course(im a tube guy). BAT REX amps on the way in to see if it cures fixes what I'm missing. Was hoping to sell them and buy new turntable. Guess not

Right now I'm watching paint dry.

Congrats on new baby! Get caught up on your sleep now

The electrician comes Monday. We ended up having to replace both old panels and add another. Ordered room treatments, and hit home depot this AM for paint and hole repairs from them running the new wire through the house. Think I found the best way to set up the room in the basement. Been running the killer $300 H&K/Pioneer system from every direction and pretty sure this room is going to be a lot easier than the last one to set up. Not going to mess with the BAT tube stuff for the time being. Picked up a great deal on almost new Parasound JC-3+ phono stage. I'll use it and RAM modified Esound CDP, and DAC in Mcintosh MA8000 integrated. My health is still up and down, mostly down these days. My disability (thank God) has been extended six months with full benefits. Anyway, should have music going next week and anyone who wants to come by end of week or next weekend let me know, your more than welcome!

Thanks everybody! I replied in the moving to VA. thread in the off topic forum.

Arrived in the great state of VA. yesterday. First time ive seen the house. Started working on music room but gassed out pretty quick. Guy coming tomorrow AM to see about running 3 20amp lines for me. Doctor appts after he leaves and then one a day through Friday. Love the area, and just flying in over Georgetown and then seeing the Washington Monument let me know how different this is going to be than ATL. Plus had a killer pizza delivered last night!! Really want to offer a ton of thanks to everyone for there support and best wishes. Any body in the area or passing through is more than welcome to come by listen to tunes, eat, crash, or just visit.

Movers finish today and head out. Wife leaves tomorrow with a totally freaked out cat. Thanks everyone for the positive wishes! See you in VA. as soon as Doc says I can leave!! Cant wait to see live NHL games again!

Thanks for all the help every one. Sorry I didn't get back sooner. Have been going through a lot of serious health issues..... and trying to move. Four times to the ER, and total of 15 days in the ICU in the last couple months have put a halt to all audio (sorry to say) lately. Will say, without Purks help would have never got house packed up and ready to go. Wont be able to make the move with my wife, for awhile I'm stuck here til the docs say I can make the move. 60 years old and having to move back in with mother..........shoot me now

Cool, Heading upon Saturday. Maybe he can meet and give me a price next week.

Great! if you could send me a PM when you get the info that would really help. I'm up there next week for inspection and maybe I can set up a meeting.

Can anyone recommend either a good dealer or electrician in this area to run my dedicated lines to music room?

Morning country music at its best! Willie Nelson & Ray Price.....San Antonio Rose

Brahms No. 1 Cleveland orchestra, Lorin maazel. London pressing

No one is more welcome than you! Plus could use the help packing

Happy birthday Rudy! Probably listen to more of your music than anything else I own!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

HOPE IT WAS A GREAT BIRTHDAY!!!
