Received the SONY SACD today. It was packed to survive a 5 story fall :yes: In person, it looks a lot better than the ad in Bartertown. I have only had the chance to play a couple of CDs so far, it's for my wife's system, but I'm very impressed with the sound quality. Many thanks to a...

I'm helping out a friend who is settling the estate of her uncle. He was a TV and radio repairman so there are boxes upon boxes of tubes that she has to deal with. I took a quick look and they are really a bit of a mess, for the most part just tossed in cardboard boxes. I'm sure that the...

Picked up a Roku from Mark in Bartertown for a more than fair price :) He shipped it immediately and packed it well to survive the journey:thmbsp:

Roger was kind enough to quickly respond to my post in BT seeking components to put together a system for my youngest daughter's college graduation. His price was more than fair and he was great at shipping it quickly and keeping me informed. It was packed to survive even the tender (:no:)...

My 500B is missing a few of the brass caps. I want to replace them, but am not sure as to the line/no line layout. Can anyone take a good pic of their 500B showing the end caps so that I can order the right mix of caps? Thanks!

One of my dream turntables has always been an Empire 598.:yes: I thought I'd accomplished my goal last summer when I managed to win an auction for a "excellent condition" 598 III. Unfortunately, I was wrong...it arrived with the motor support section broken and bent. The seller was great...

I recently finished assembling an Empire 598 turntable from a damaged one purchased on eBay and some replacement parts from a local parts unit turntable. I've got it all back together and it looks superb and holds speed perfectly.:banana: However, I now face the dilemma of selecting an...

Have a great one, Dan! :yippy::yippy::yippy:

Several months ago, I picked up an Audio Alchemy Digital Decoding Engine v1.1 at a pawn for very little $. I bought it to use for an extra Roku that RichPa generously sent me. I was quite pleased with its sound quality and have used it regularly with the Roku. Last week, I picked up a...

Those of you who may be familiar with my (somewhat odd:yes:) musical tastes, are aware that it's pretty hard to find a lot of the music I enjoy. Found a CD shop dedicated to new independent bands and ordered a few CDs last night. This morning, I received the following order/shipping...

My major present this Christmas was the Knosti Disco Antistat Record Cleaning Kit:banana:. For $99.98 with shipping from Belgium, it's an amazing, effective and cheap alternative to the high priced RCM's that I've been lusting after for quite some time. A video of the device and mock...

Tonight, I finished my first attempt at raccooning some woogers:yes:. Last week I picked up a pile of gear off Craigslist that included a pair of New Advent speakers. Of course the foam surrounds were almost totally missing. When I pointed that out, the lady reduced the price on the whole...

Have a GREATday, David! :yippy::yippy::yippy:

A blast from the past:banana:. I've had an ADC Integra XLM-1 cartridge for about 30 yrs. Although the stylus was worn past the point of use, I had always particularly enjoyed the sound it produced from my Technics SL-1300, even though I had used many "better" cartridges. The Integra was a...

Just got back from picking up the SONY TV from Chuck. You are a true gentleman and your generosity (not to mention the help in carrying the monster down 4 flight of stairs & out to the car) is deeply appreciated:banana: My daughter will be very happy, even if she gets my existing set as the...

Just got back and I'm ready to collapse:sigh: Before I do, I want to express my sincere thanks and absolute wonder for the efforts of Grumpy (& his whole family:bigok: ) and Luvinvinyl in making the Fest an incredible adventure.

Let's face it, maintaining the correct tire pressure is a pain!:thumbsdn: Especially if you are lucky enough to have one (or more) of the all too common tires that s-l-o-w-l-y lose pressure, even though a reason/solution can't be found:sigh: I try to check pressure on a regular basis, but...
