    thoughts on a technics tt - help a noob

    Ok, 2 cents, either table seems reasonably priced if they work well. I’m in a similar situation as you. Have a Thorens 145 mkII needing some work. Dilemma is do i fix the Thorens now or buy a place holder direct drive till I can do the 145 up right? I’m keeping my nickels and pennies and...

    Best/worst record labels?

    MCA hands down. The Who recordings (non-Decca) and anything else on that label for that matter are Halloween Horrific!.. even CD releases are bad

    Anybody Live Where Weed Is Legal?

    Tinctures are little glass bottles with rubber topped droppers. Squeeze the weed juice into the dropper and put it under your tongue, put it into a drink, whatever. There’s also (hope I don’t get into trouble with the mods..) weed ‘lubes’ for sexy time.. The drinkables have been harder to...

    Anybody Live Where Weed Is Legal?

    2 cents, weed wasn’t my thing in my youth. Tried it many times but... meh.. smoking was (forgive the pun) a drag Now, with pot edibles I really enjoy the buzz and not being hungover like alcohol. Dispensaries are common here which keeps prices competitive. You can get...

    Gratitude is boring

    BUT.. I’m gonna take a moment to thank AK’er SoCal Sam for recommending Tom at Northridge Electronics in Simi Valley. Not sure if there’s a proper forum for this kind of thing (?) but for guys like me who are new to gear addiction it can be a challenge to get good/reasonable help. Tom is...

    What an idiot!

    Of course I’m the idiot.. but since yer here.. quick question. Are JBL 2123 bass speakers a straight swap for LE10-H1’s in the L96? And does anyone have any opinion about sound differences between the two? I have a pair of 96’s that are woofer-less and there’s a set of 2123’s available near...

    Couple questions about L96's...

    Bought a pair of sequential numbered L96's with junk chinese woofers and one blown 044 tweeter. Didn't know about the 044 being bad and I'm looking for a replacement. The mids are all good and everything powers up. The question is, I have a possibility of picking up a pair of NOS 2123's...
