Voltron

Just finished watching the stage. Quite exciting, and Lance really was impressive coming back to the yellow jersey group. Alberto seems untouchable but tomorrow's killer stage and the time trial will be very interesting. Very sorry about Jens Voigt who is one of my favorite domestiques. That crash was scary but he didn't get hurt nearly as bad as I thought.

You're my hero, Steve, and you, KG, Nate, Marc, Spritzer and others are making a real contribution to the community by offering support and even servive (!!!) while Mikhail circles the drain. Very much looking forward to hearing the amp again tomorrow.

You'll need moar Skipjacks!

Bill Frissell -- Disfarmer

Beat me to it.

Beat Farmers -- Tales of the New West Love this album, but wishing I was listening to their new one released today:

Seriously, what don't you get?

lolz. I almost posted the fizzy YouTube that is in the Slow Forum.

Beastie Boys -- Ill Communication (Remastered) In honor of hearing that MCA was diagnosed with cancer (salivary gland) and is having surgery next week.

Thank you.

John Zorn -- Alhambra Love Songs

The Masada Quintet -- Stolas: Book of Angels Vol. 12

Sucks big time Steve but I give about zero chance of recovery. I do have lots of cassette tapes in case you want some new tunes to check out onthe Nakamichi. Let me know and I can send you a package.

Shpongle -- Tales of the Inexpressible flying just makes me want to get Shpongled for some reason.

Ha Ha Ha Ha! I am lol'ing about that one!

thanks Mike. Either Steve can post or I will get the info and do it. It was small stuff -- resistor, maybe that diode, and a bad solder joint -- and nothing in the amp. He bought another one of the transformer that looked cooked and the new looked exactly the same! thanks again Kevin.

Thanks everyone. I don't think I will be taking this one to meets anytime soon. Thanks for the offer JP, and we can chat about how to retrieve it eventually. For now, Steve is burning in the new parts and making sure it stays functional. Hopefully he'll listen along the way too.

!! back at ya Reks! Hey, weren't you going to send me some home brew or something like that? No word on Neil except that the tech was pretty much unwilling to work on the PS. Not sure how the issues compare, but his sounds even worse...

THIS JUST IN! ironbut reports that he has resurrected Satan's Demonic Sauce! Steve has had the amp for a couple weeks and after reading all of the comments in this thread and testing parts and replacing some parts and doing some kind of deal with the devil, the amp is back to form as of this evening. I am thrilled and hopeful that we can keep it that way for awhile. Thanks so much for the help of KG and the rest of those who posted here. I may yet have a new PS built at some point along the lines Kevin proposed but for now I will just cross my fingers and listen to it. Most thanks go to Steve, of course, and I really owe him for his efforts (in more ways than one!) Maybe there is hope for some of the others out there struggling... In honor of the passing of the great Walter Cronkite, I will borrow his sign-off: And that's the way it is.

Richard Thompson Band -- Live! Semi-Detached Mock Tudor

Why do you toy with us?

Goldfrapp -- Seventh Tree

I paid $20 and $50 for impressions by Kathy Peck at different times.
