But surely you like reading an edgy word salad in every thread.

Now add to the collection: Crosley RSD3 Mini Turntable for 3-inch Vinyl Records, Silver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07P83H6KK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_1J7gEbST6JA1G

Just don’t buy the $150 White Stripes 3” vinyl.

That looks pretty cool, and doesn't look like typical crosley garbage, with a real AT cart. Need a collection of 3" vinyl though...

Appears that way. It's not a hard fix, but annoying it wasn't fit properly at the factory (I flipped mine so it's correct).

Seems more logical to me - the blue is very pale, closer to the white. Also, add me to the list who prefer the 'less stuffed' (blue for me) ones. And 'classic' Spiral Dots vs whatever came with these.

Perhaps. I just wish it matched what's posted on the website. And I also prefer the less stuffed nozzles and have no problems with the included tips.

Happy Birthday buddy!

Happy birthday!

Excellent! And Happy Birthday!

There was background noise during L test, so not surprising the lowest freq was a fail. Now I just need to explain the waist-to-hip ratio result...

I am fascinated with Rock tour history. Mostly to jog my own memory from concerts I saw decades ago.
I saw Loverboy open for Foreigner Sometime in 81 or 82.
I saw John Cougar open for Kiss in 1978. My first concert!

So... What was it supposed to be? I can't figure it out.

Liver? That is rather serious indeed.

Yep, liver. Serious indeed, but t's been a long/slow thing and she's in her 90s.

Room for ~150 more CDs in the tower (which spins to a mirror image on the reverse for c. 500 total) and for >100 more LPs in the cabinet, and the combo passes spousal approval. Should be ok for a while.

It always makes me happy to hear a cromulent word

I always wanted a Miele washing machine. Really.

lol yeah sorry bro, but more impressed by the vacuum.

Everybody here loves the vacuum. Nobody on nature's side?

Do you already have an umbrella and rain jacket?

Many!

A wise man once said that moving sucks big fat donkey balls, but I guess moose dicks are in the same ballpark. Hang in there. It will be worth it.

Drive safe, lift from the knees, drink a cold one when you're done

Colorful. I thought it was a bit early for blizzards, but I'm not from the great white north. Stay safe!

When we decided to move to China I ripped all mine to FLAC and gave as many physical CD's away as I could to SBAFers. I still have some in storage like a couple of boxes sets and some that I couldn't bear to part with.

I like seeing them all on the shelves, and physically scanning and pulling them out to make the 'what to play now' decision is to me much more fun than looking on a screen.

yeah, definitely

This not only helps those of us not familiar with the item (lots of IEMs confusing me right now - ie69, IER-WTF, etc.) but also helps external searchers locate SBAF discussion of it (same reason as for the autocorrects of Schiit nicknames to actual model names).

"Bring me a beer, I'm almost done with this one!"

With that kind of hearing she should be ghostwriting your gear impressions ...

@Superexchanger check my (few) impressions of upstream gear.

Enjoy Vancouver! I'd recommend headphonebar as a local audio store, I've recieved nothing but excellent customer service from them.

Yep, bought from Headphonebar a couple of times by mail, visited once; really need to know where the good used vinyl/CD & gear shops are though...

Good luck with the move, and to a beautiful city no less. I dream of breaking landlock one day.

The Black Album was still OK in terms of mastering, compared to most of what followed...for some reason that story reminded me of Back to the Future when MJFox played Eddie Van Halen on the walkman as a torture device.

Heh - maybe her phone had a Sabre chip...

It's obvious that the cougar preferred 80s hair bands like White Lion.

Email to tubedepot resulted in the instant response that they're sending a 5670 to 6922 right away. Good customer service!

@Ringingears I'm still winding down from work - sleep still disturbed. Getting there, though.

Within 3 to 6 months I will be joining @Ringingears and @Biodegraded in the retirement brigade.

Then physics won’t be a bitch, but a beautiful woman keeping the universe a mystery. Honestly, it’s an adjustment. I keep thinking, what haven't I finished? Answer. The dishes.
