Your first concert was to see who and when? I posted before that my first concert was Frank Zappa at Beloit college auditorium, small venue. The lead singer of the Turtles, forget his name, was in the show with Zappa. I think it was 1970 and I was 17 or 18. I was thinking "rock concert" but... | |
Batteries are Cheap, Backup power is expensive @erik_squires You're right, there are a lot of ways to utilize solar and I don't understand half of them. There are a few places around who bought into it to run their whole house. I'm not sure it's the way to go here in MO just yet. It costs a ... | |
Batteries are Cheap, Backup power is expensive @erik_squires I like the idea of the generac, being all electric at our place as well. I don't have one either and we live in tornado alley of MO, not the worst part of MO but NE MO. I'd like to have the generac but it is expensive. I think they d... | |
Batteries are Cheap, Backup power is expensive What about a generator that comes on automatically if your power goes off? Or is the lag time too slow? | |
CD's or Vinyl? @mylogic Thanks for the encouragement. No worries, I will never sell my vinyl collection. I give away Cd's now and then, extras or ones that never get played. @niodari Cassettes are a great medium. As mylogic posted, with 3 head decks, can be ver... | |
CD's or Vinyl? Kind of funny that Von Karajan was quoted as saying that Cd sounds better than vinyl. Ray Charles once said that digital kills the music. Both of these men would likely have very keen hearing. Ironically, any Von Karajan recordings that I have are... | |
Your first concert was to see who and when? Frank Zappa at Beloit College Fall 1970. Took my older sister who had just returned home after a year away in Boston. | |
Has anyone had problems getting their money refunded by The Music Room? The process can take awhile. I went through it myself with them. Stay on it, they will make it right. I trust them 100%. | |
6SN7 tubes and variants question. @immatthewj More tube rolling. Moved the National Union Black Glass GT's to the buffer position and put a pair of RCA Smoke Glass GT's in the line/gain position. Maybe the best combination yet...........maybe. First time I've had 4 GT's in plac... | |
And a Happy 4th to all! @immatthewj I sometimes get that McAfee pop up when I'm here too. All I'm trying to do is read a thread (not clicking a link) and it pops up and sometimes shuts the site down to me. I don't have nor have I ever had McAfee. It's annoying and I do... | |
Sound right before song begins on vinyl, what is it? Under the tongue, apparently. | |
How old is too old? @nonoise From what you said, I think I have hearing similar to yours. I'm 72, almost 73. I drink about 10 cups of coffee a day (always black). That's about a third of what I used to drink. Are you telling me that my coffee habit is causing the w... | |
6SN7 tubes and variants question. @tomcy6 I would agree with them. Every system is different. Certain components may work better with a certain tube or cable but an overall system is usually unique unto itself. The more I read that a certain tube is favored by many, it gets my a... | |
6SN7 tubes and variants question. @tomcy6 Thanks. None of the crazy money tubes in the 6SN7 collection yet but many that seem favored and many that sound very good. Just tried the National Union pair of GT's last night and they sound very good. Nothing stood out as unusual, just... | |
And a Happy 4th to all! @baylinor No, that wasn't me. That was the guy I was talking with. I am almost 73. |
