    Mystery bird?

    Trying for a good identification of this beauty. Not my photo, but it was located in Colorado. My first thoughts were either Sharp-Shinned or Cooper's, but I'm not too convinced of either. Guesses?

    Kvelling

    ...a Yiddish word for feeling happy and proud. Usage: Tonight I'll be kvelling as my 11-year old grandson is a Munchkin in the Wizard Of Oz production at a local high school (no, he's not in high school). But maybe even better: My 15-year old granddaughter is running the sound board!:banana...

    "Talisman S" - something fishy?

    Sumiko fans, if you have a chance...there's a "Talisman S" newly listed you-know-where that doesn't pass the smell test. First, the badge clearly says "Alchemist S", not Talisman. Secondly, if that's a sapphire cantilever - as it should be - I'll eat it. Looks aluminum to me. Wadda you think...

    For your consideration...a classic.

    Mystery headshell?

    I'd like to think I'm pretty good at tracking down and identifying stuff, but this one's got me foxed. It's not exactly like any other headshell I've seen. Sort of like a standard after-market SME-style, but with the connector offset. Also, the connections at the back are in a diamond shape, not...

    Jenkster is a great AKer

    Got a little switch box from Mark for just the cost of postage, and he threw in two other little ones besides. Great packaging, fast ship - just an all-round good AKer. Cheers, Larry B.

    Another Vintage Voltage...again?

    Looks like Dana's gonna try again with a fall show, this time south of Denver at The Wildlife Experience off Lincoln Avenue and I25. Do we care? Might be of benefit to folks down south-ish? Cheers, Larry B.

    Onkyo and Gibson, the other shoe drops

    Guess this means Onkyo's days as an independent company are over. Well, at least they didn't get bought by China... https://www.strata-gee.com/gibson-brands-control-onkyo/ Cheers, Larry B.

    Roger W. vs David G.

    Doesn't matter which side you're on, I saw this and it made me laugh - from Roger's current tour: "If at first you don't succeed, call in an airstrike". Cheers, Larry B.

    A modest suggestion

    (With apologies to Jonathan Swift) Dear Mods, It is perhaps necessary to increase the font size on the banner, where it says "All Audio, No Attitude". It appears from several recent posts that folks aren't getting the message. My perception is that there's a considerable increase in snarky...

    End of an era for Dual enthusiasts?

    It appears that the very useful "Dual-reference" site is gone! I know this has happened a few times, but it looks like it's really kaput this time. Still accessible through "archive" means, but what a shame. It was a very useful site for those of us who are still caring for our "real" (Gebruder...

    Sometimes the Internet is just creepy

    And sometimes it's just weird. So a short time ago, I posted in a thread about turntables, and mentioned that "low bearing friction" was a good thing to have in an arm. Next thing I know, the banner ad at the top of the page is hyping me on a "slewing bearing manufacturer". Hmmmm... I never...

    Sign of the times, Part Deux

    Seems like more and more "brands" are coming under the purview of one owner. Shades of Harman International? https://www.strata-gee.com/dm-group-sold-one-pe-company-another/ Cheers, Larry B.

    Sign of the times?

    I don't know how much y'all care about industry insider stuff, but I thought this was interesting, me being a big Onkyo/Integra fanboy. This was dropped into my Inbox today: "This week we learned that Onkyo and Integra products would now be sold through AVAD, a distributor of custom integration...

    Dual TKS55e you-know-where

    Just a heads-up for anyone looking at the current auction for the above cartridge: Despite the claim that it's "in good condition", the locking tabs both appear to be broken. I've seen this several times, and this cart will not lock in properly in a ULM head. The same seller also has a Technics...

    Neutrik/REAN NYS373?

    Anyone with experience using this specific connector? Picked up a roll of Belden 1505A and I'm planning on making a bunch of interconnects. I'm drawn to this particular connector because: 1. They can be soldered. I don't like crimping, and I'm reasonably good at soldering. 2. They're black...
