    New vinyl in jeopardy as Apollo Masters factory burns

    As I've probably demonstrated in earlier posts, I know very little of the vinyl industry, but this doesn't look good. https://consequenceofsound.net/2020/02/vinyl-supply-threatened-fire-lacquer-manufacturer/ Company website: https://www.apollomasters.com/

    McIntosh Monoblocks

    ok, sometimes I post about cheap crap that nobody wants, it's b/c I rarely see anything high-end on my CL.... all part of my learning about this audio stuff. SO... here's something different. Is $8750 a rational price for these? "Factory serviced". No affiliation, and I'd buy a new car before...

    Big ol' mixer (Yamaha PM4000)

    What is something like this even worth nowadays. No aff, certainly not buying this absolute unit. https://columbus.craigslist.org/ele/d/columbus-yamaha-40-chanel-analog-mixer/7034390571.html 00606_41T8WMPs2pZ_1200x900 by CT_Ohio posted Dec 19, 2019 at 8:50 PM

    The Rise Of Skywalker

    What, you want me to start a Cats thread instead? ;) While I'm waiting to see it Sunday, some friends will be catching the early showings tonight. Good, bad, JarJar-abominable, let's hear what people think of it...

    The Current War

    Watched it for a discount on Tuesday. Felt kinda 'meh' on exit. Not entirely sure Cumberbatch was the best guy to play Edison. just imo

    Epicure Model 20+

    A Coppery Oddity

    Or maybe it's just another one of those "weird to me" items. A mono HK receiver (TA-1040) with a distinctive case. As always no affiliation. https://columbus.craigslist.org/ele/d/columbus-harman-kardon-ta1040-festival/6929633260.html Hk_ta1040 by CT_Ohio posted Jul 8, 2019 at 9:29 PM

    Marantz "Tuner Amplifier"

    OK, my BS filter hasn't been working lately... does this guy just not know what he has, or is it a scam? Ad text: "Marantz Tuner Amplifier, beautiful sound, looks excellent, but one channel has intermittent sound problem; the Sony CD player may need to have the laser cleaned/replaced. Both for...

    Carver Silver Edition speakers

    Browsing the CL this AM, wondering if anything interesting will ever show up (not gonna post about the JBL C38's that someone wants $2500 for here)... and saw these. Hmm, different. All woofers refoamed. Any good? Intrigued by the long tweeter array. No affiliation and not gonna buy cause $750 I...

    Godzilla: King of the Monsters

    Saw this on Friday, in an IMAX theater (or IMAX lite, not quite the huge overhead screen, etc). I'll rate it 'good', an enjoyable film with the usual Godzilla franchise shortcomings in script and plot. Almost as if they intended it that way; my friends and I saying "What?" out loud several times...

    Altecs with 'Biflex' woofers?

    Hadn't heard of that before. No interest in buying, just wondering what the deal is with the woofers on these; do they really pull off a full-range sound, as the brochure promises? https://columbus.craigslist.org/ele/d/hilliard-vintage-altec-lansing-santana/6829940476.html...

    Aquaman

    Hell of a movie. Visually ambitious, and the story isn't entirely awful (vs some DC properties I'm less fond of). Not sure I can judge the audio as my crew was seated in the last row, tough to get a feel for the surround sound. But I'll bet this would be a fair test of one's HT setup.

    Trans-Oceanic R600 (portable tube radio)

    Sorta intrigued by this 1955 vintage tube unit, and how listenable (at best) could it be. Am more on the lookout for the later T-Os. Presented here as a curiosity, no affiliation. https://columbus.craigslist.org/ele/d/vintage-radio-zenith-trans/6770045844.html 00Q0Q_lndand5WBL9_1200x900 by...

    Homecoming (Amazon Prime)

    I just breezed through this series, 10 short eps (half hour or less). Felt like the entire thing could've been condensed into a two-part X-Files show, and the latter would've had more depth. Positives: umm. Well each episode was short! I kinda like that format, can squeeze a few eps into my...

    1975 AMC Pacer DL

    Not affiliated. Thought maybe you car guys would find a mint Pacer somewhat interesting (w/ "Navajo" interior!). If more approp for Dollars and Sense, please move this one. [Mod Edit]

    Venom movie

    Watched today, friend had a discount ticket. I'm mostly burnt out on Marvel stuff, figured it's a reason to get out of the house. And that's about it. Most notable feature of this feature is the uneven editing; supposedly this was to be a much longer (and possibly R-rated) movie, but execs...

    Used EQ

    Wondering if buying a used Onkyo EQ-101 at the local thrift would be worth it. Dusty, but not abused, $14. Could put it between my analog-out Yammy CD carousel and receiver, use it in test setup. Anything with EQs aside from a lot of Deoxit to consider?

    Dio memorabilia auction in September

    Since we covered the Brad Delp auction here in D&S, why not Ronnie James Dio... from the teaser comments, not much in the audio space that I can see, at least one guitar, but these guys always seem to have some gear to sell (microphones, maybe?). Doesn't look like the full catalog is out there...

    If you could replace a movie's actors with muppets...

    Currently on Twitter there is an open question which has been getting a lot of feedback. It is: You can replace the cast of any movie with The Muppets, but you keep one of the human actors. What movie and which human do you keep? - @CoryjTaylor My non-serious reply was Moon, and keep Sam...

    Solo: a $tar War$ Movie

    Saw a preview showing last night (Thursday 24th). I liked it, good origin story for Han with a few 'huh?' moments. Emilia Clarke isn't shown at all in the previews, but in a way she's the focus of the plot. And she's hot, as always. Woody Harrelson plays Woody Harrelson. Chewbacca plays...
