    Dish Network alternative

    We use Youtube TV as well. I think the sports options beat cable by a mile. My wife is mostly housebound so we have some other subscription services (HBO Max, Disney TV, Netflix). I can't see ever gong back to cable willingly.

    Please help me name my boat…

    Like someone mentioned make sure you do a proper renaming ceremony complete with a libation to Neptune . On the name front an old friend of mine always wanted to buy a little sailboat and name in Cortez the Killer.

    MIATA!

    I have a '94 M Edition right now. I just like the smallness and simplicity of the first generation. I also smile every time I turn on the headlights and they pop up. Prices seem to be up this year but I paid $5400 for mine last year with 75K miles and needing nothing. Parts are cheap and there...

    Good cheap phone options

    I have a nuu g3 phone that was $139 on Amazon and am using mint mobile. $35 a month for 8 gig of data and unlimited talk and text. At the time I bought the phone it came with 3 free months mint service. Less than half the cost of my old at&t plan.

    New to HiFi, what amp for Wharfedale W60?

    I have a pair of W60s as my secondary system. I am currently running them with a Musical Paradise MP301 tube amp, but have used them with a Sansui Au5500. We have lived in three houses since I bought these and they have sounded good and bad in different rooms. Currently I have them on the floor...

    Hey North Carolina AKers!

    We have been in New Bern for two years now and still love it. We are in Fairfield Harbour and the neighborhood took a pretty good hit. Our street was fine. Now is a good time to look at lots because you can sure tell what floods and what doesn’t!

    Altec Lansing Model 14

    I just demoed my new pair to my musician brother and he said wow those are nice speakers. Mine are in so so cosmetic shape and there is something wrong with one woofer. I paid $200 and $90 for a replacement woofer from an advent 15. Mine came with covers too but they just look so cool with the...

    *silent screams of help*

    I know very little on the subject but I have read a lot on the forum about the econowaves. As a horn speaker fan they are interesting to me. Have you given that design a thought?

    Altec Model 14 Restoration.

    I don’t know how great my ears are but even mismatched they sound good to me. Maybe slightly off but not bad at all. Have you thought about finding another woofer from a model 15 and using two of those so they would match. I just paid $90 shopped for the one I bought.

    Altec Model 14 Restoration.

    Oh I forgot to mention that careful use of a putty knife got my woofers out safely.

    Altec Model 14 Restoration.

    I just bought a pair of Model 14s myself. The previous owner had refoamed the woofers at some point but one of the 34633s wasnt working. I found a 785 on ebay and installed it with the thought of sending the bad original woofer out to be worked on. I wanted instant gratification and I could...

    Best "Under $100" Integrated Amp or Receiver

    What about a 70s realistic receiver? I have an STA19 on my desk with a set of KLH 32s that sounds way better than it should. I paid 20 bucks on ebay for the receiver.

    KLH Model Thirty Two.

    I was given a set by a friend and have them on my desk as my computer speakers. I am driving them with a $20 Realistic STA19 mini receiver and the sound blows me away.
