You mean someone buys this stuff?

I'm thinking this kind of "expression" would be a hit in my area-downtown Long Beach, Ca. We have a huge GenX, millennial and Z demographic that buy "vinyl" here.  Plenty of disposable income.

"Holy crap table jockey where do you find this stuff?"
Millercarbon I thought that thing was a sub at first! Imagine 4 of those for a swarm configuration? Looks like something fromPee Wee's playhouse.

I can't believe the company is also a Rega dealer. Someone willing to buy a P8(which is a decent table) decides to shop there?

Well, I will give the guy a thumbs up for doing his own thing. Some of those pieces must be in demand?

"El Chunko" looks quite solid.

Keeping inline with the mass loading camp. Perhaps there is a discount at checkout if you provide your  contractor license #?

"Began there in '51, grew up in Northtown LB, before the freeways turned to rivers of steel, glass and plastics..."

asvjerry-
You were not too far from the dairy farms of another era of LB. The stories from old timers and seeing pictures of LB convinced me this was a special area before WWII.

Father served in WWII, parents settled in LB. Their house note was $50 on the westside, which is where I grew up. Like other areas, LB has changed quite a bit.  More and more natives moving out of the area, as LB has joined the rest of the ridiculously priced beach ciities. 

Still a great location/ unbeatable weather. Demographic has changed over the last 20 years. Seems like more Gen X'ers, Millennials and younger from everywhere decided to move to LB. Also, like other metropolitan areas-gentrification in overdrive.

Homeless and psych patient population is out of control.

On a positive note, I have a few record stores in the neighborhood with cheap nuggets.

" nephew in Redlands (who commutes daily into/out of LB....?!)"

That can't be right? INSANITY. Maybe in a helicopter. I hope your nephew doesn't drive a manual!

"Ah, LB....."I can get you to LAX in 'bout a half hour....just don't look out the windows....that's right, turn the radio up and contemplate the Art of Creative Driving..."

I think I'm just old enough(60)to understand the old timers "it just 20 minutes from here" default response for directions. By the time I got my license, that concept was very limited, at best-1977. 

"Tin Can Beach" -From stories/pics that area was a real dump during the 40/50's.  It's hard to imagine much of the area was covered with oil pumps in the early 1900's.
Fast forward to now, clean beaches, walk up a block million dollar+ homes that look like "normal" houses minus $750K somewhere else.

More and more natives just seem fed up with the SoCal insanity. The smart ones like yourself bailed in the 80's-90's.

I have a friend who's great, great grandmother took a covered wagon from Utah to SoCal! Imagine- no rest stops with a convenience store!
