    Trifle

    Everything is in season: strawberries, blueberries, bananas, peaches, pound cake, vanilla pudding, Cool Whip. Good.

    Hobby, Obsession, Tool?

    I got to wondering how members of this forum define their relationship with their gear. For me everything has always been just a tool to get at the music. Nothing more. Since I discovered hi-fi in 1967. Some of my equipment is vintage. It's what brought me here in the first place. Most is...

    Marching Band

    As a former High School Band Director I still have a keen interest in the art form. Most college and university bands seem to be stuck in the '60s with their product either entirely drill driven or formation driven and high step marching style. Ohio State was one of the former (Script Ohio with...

    Thiel CS1.2

    Got these for free today. Are they any good? I've read pluses and not so pluses.

    Thiel score

    So a couple weeks ago a nice subdivision on my route was having a neighborhood garage sale. Saw this pair of Thiel CS1.2s on the curb. The USPS keeps us on pretty tight leashes so I could only stop and admire them and chat briefly with their owner. Then late last week there was a note in...

    RIP David E. Davis, Jr.

    I started reading C/D back in 1963. His columns and articles there and in Automobile and Winding Road have entertained and inspired me ever since. A curmudgeon of the highest order. He will be missed. http://www.caranddriver.com/features/11q1/david_e._davis_jr._a_retrospective...

    Harvey Phillips - In Memoriam

    A great man has passed. Harvey Phillips, tuba virtuoso, former professor of tuba at Indiana University, creator of Tuba Christmas performances around the world, creator of Octubafest, brought the tuba and euphonium from oom-pah to recognition as legitimate solo instruments. He now joins his...

    New Indiana Repair Shop

    Just discovered this newly opened shop in Indianapolis. I'm sure he'd really like some business so check with him if you're in the area. http://www.theturntableshoppe.com/

    Summer Desserts

    Lots of fruit and berries are in season now. How are you using them to sweeten up your life and your day? Blueberries are especially plentiful right now so the result was this blueberry pie. Made from a couple different recipes, it uses several spices and zests. Oh, my. I'm surprised that...

    New Pioneer acquisition

    So this may not have been the best turntable I could have gotten for the money ($60), but it was a local pick-up. And having recently regretted buying a used Dual that was shipped only 30 miles and arrived in pieces... well, you understand. The Pioneer PL-3000 was originally part of a...

    "The Maiden Heist" turntable

    I watched the DVD of "The Maiden Heist" this morning. Christopher Walken and Morgan Freeman as museum security guards in love with their art objects. Early on the Walken character puts on some tunes at home using an Ortofon FF 15XE Mk II cartridge. Not much later the turntable can be seen...

    C 32 issues

    Hello, all. This is my first post to the McIntosh area, and I hope these's some good karma here. I am visiting a quadriplegic friend in Florida this week who is having problems with his C32 pre-amp. There seems to be no output whatsoever, and the red lights above the pushbuttons on the front...

    Crown DC300A

    I have an opportunity to buy a well cared for DC300A for $200. Would this be a good value? I can't seem to find anything about current pricing at the bay or audiogon. The current (and only) owner just traded some tube McIntosh for a new pedal steel guitar. He's my boss. Thanks in advance...

    Artichokes

    They're in season right now. 3 for 2 today at Kroger. Got turned on to these big thistle blooms back in 1977. Normally we just simmer them in a big pot with garlic and lemon juice until tender, then eat 'em with Hollandaise or Hellman's as a dipping sauce. Anybody else have their...

    First thrift score - Denon

    I check out the locals when I'm in their areas and alone. Never seen anything worth taking out the door until yesterday. There's this nice champagne faceplate winking at me from floor level. Turns out to be a Denon PMA-630 integrated with some scratches on the top but otherwise intact. $20...

    Feedback Cure At Last

    I know there have been many threads and posts regarding how to eliminate acoustic feedback. My problem has been ongoing for longer than I want to admit. I've tried halved tennis balls on Styrofoam and several other methods, all to no avail. Technics SL-1300 just two inches from an Original...

    Drum Corps Anyone?

    This Saturday in Bloomington, IN, is the biggest event in the world of Drum and Bugle Corps, the DCI World Championships. I've been attending these and similar contests since 1969 when the Santa Clara Vanguard and the Madison Scouts completely blew me away. This year it looks like Blue Devils...

    Overture 3 woes

    I know, I know. These aren't "real" Infinity speakers. But they're excellent nonetheless. And as good looking a small tower speaker as Infinity has ever built, Intermezzo excepted. Ten days ago we had some serious storms and electrical issues that took out my garage door opener, satellite...

    Infnity Surrounds

    Anyone here have a clue as to which Infinity surround speaker would match up best with Interlude IL60s, the Alpha 25 or the Beta ES250? Or maybe that slick Kappa surround? I've been looking. Thanks. Greg
