D-League

Good morning! Not much planned for today other than some random sports on tv.

Our returning players from last year all looked good last night. Toppin didn't play because of a minor injury. This transfer portal thing should work out well for us. Seems there are a lot of guys around the country that want to play for the greatest tradition in college basketball.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 73°F and cloudy. Expect 87°F for our high.

Cats looked good in the Blue-White game last night. Exhibition game next Friday night. November 9th brings a real test.

Watched UK volleyball last night. Close match between Arkansas and UK. Cats won in 5 sets.

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

My wife and I watched that too. How about that chick for Arky with the long frizzy red hair? She has to have a 40" vertical leap. Pretty sure she was the best player on the floor and only 5' 7". Do they have a transfer portal for volleyball?

You can put that stew in jars and put lids on it while it is hot and they will seal just like you canned them.......we turn our jars upside down until they cool and seal.......I don't know how long it will last on the shelf like this......I always eat it in a couple of weeks or so.........It seems I have lost my cooking mojo.....so I grab about anything I can warm up in the microwave..........

I've done that with spaghetti sauce I've made but I didn't intend to keep it long. You really need to boil the jars before you put the food in.

As I was enjoying the Alan Parson's song the Director informed me that she desired a stereo system.......we have a new turn table in the box still........I need to get what ever I need to complete a stereo........amplifier, receiver and speakers..........I can sit and discuss playing music for days.......when it comes to stereo equipment the knowledge that I have.........wouldn't blow a thimble off of my head if it was gunpowder........I have seen discusions on here that appear to be about stereo equipment but looks like mostly a foreign language to me............will $1K buy me a nice set up or do I need to dig another jar up.......also........................................................................................I NEED HELP! Can someone give me some recommendations on what to buy...........willing to buy lunch to discuss if you are in the Louisville area........

It also helps to turn your jars upside down until they have cooled down...........My MIL would make vegetable soup but not put the meat in it until she was ready to fix it for supper.......

Broke down one late night on I40 in west Memphis headed for E-town and got a wrecker from a local shop there that towed me to their maintenance shop. This was an all night shop and the employees were all black. They told me it would be a while and for me to just get comfortable. I ask if there were any restaurants around that were open for me to grab a bite to eat. They all just chuckled and the night manager advise me for my own safety that it was best I stayed with them. He told me being white in that area made me a target and it was best just to eat from their vending machine. I took their advice and stayed there for about 3 hours until they had me ready to travel. They were a great bunch of guys and were very friendly but knew that not everyone around there was.

You just don't know........We took the daughter and grand kids to Baltimore to catch a MAC flight to England.......It was 1 AM when the Director spotted the sign for the DC exit........we got lost in DC.......I pulled into a 24hr gas station to ask directions......they had bullet proof glass about 3" think on the front of the place........the place was deserted until I got out of my vehicle.....no less than 7-8 people were coming at me asking for money........I got back in the car and took off........I didn't know that DC had any areas that were down trodden like that place.......

Good Morning, I will take it as my duty to serve as a modern day Boston Tea party participant and throw a few of the above items my way to keep others from paying taxes on them. I will seek, search, and destroy some of the above TODAY as you all are my witness(es)....

I don't know where @UK82 is but he's a guru for what you need. I know enough to know that for $1K you can put together a system that is probably better than your ears. ROI drops off very quickly for audio equipment because a lot of times you can't hear the difference you're paying for.

Gotta disagree with turning them upside down. Mom never did that. Think about what you're trying to do and inverting the contents of the jar seems counterintuitive. I can't think of any reason to do it that way because the lids should be sterilized along with the jars.

Maybe. Ware looked a lot better last night, quicker and stronger. Collins is thin but very athletic and showed a shooter’s touch.

Are the Cats thinner at the 5 than the Final Four team of 2011 that had Jorts backed only by Eloy Vargas? Or even the 2012 champs who only had Vargas behind AD?

I hope Oscar has AD’s flair for avoiding fouls and we don’t need to find out often.

Morning D, read Mark 3 this morning.

Found out that JP's favorite song was Copperhead road, it's always been mine ever sense it came out!!!

Didn't watch the game last night, it will probably be on again.

Making some chicken stock this morning while Mrs. M is baby setting the grandsons this morning at their house.

Feels like I am moving in slow motion!!!

I hope the D, has a great day and Prayers for the D!!!!

I sure will Cord. My mother use to read this scripture to us when we got a little low and needed some reassurance. God will never fail you.

"I will sing of your strength;
I will sing aloud of your steadfast love in the morning.
For you have been to me a fortress
and a refuge in the day of my distress.
O my Strength, I will sing praises to you,
for you, O God, are my fortress,
the God who shows me steadfast love." Ps.59:16-17

If all you're wanting to do is put together a system for playing vinyl/cds then a stereo receiver and a good set of speakers is all you need. Stereo receivers are getting tougher to find because most are A/V. Not a bad choice if you plan on adding a home theater down the road. Also, the receiver will need a phono input because you'll have to buy a separate phono amp if it doesn't. A high quality vintage receiver from Pioneer or Marantz would be an excellent choice. They were made for audio and the phono stage is much better than cheap receivers made today. Magnetic Tape in Louisville would be a great place to look. I haven't been there since they've moved to their new location (Bertfan has) but they used to have a really good selection.

Another option is to go the separates route (amp plus preamp) or buy an integrated amp (amp and preamp in one unit). Both can be really expensive. A receiver has an amp, preamp and AM/FM tuner all in one package.

I'd put more emphasis on getting a good pair of speakers, preferable floorstanding as opposed to bookshelf. It depends on how much room you have. Speakers will make the greatest impact on sound.

If you're planning on playing digital music from a computer, laptop, etc. then I would highly recommend a digital to analog converter (DAC). A CD player can also be connected to the same DAC and you'd get better sound out of your CDs.

1 grand will buy you a fabulous stereo depending on what you want now and in the future. Outlaw Audio has an outstanding stereo receiver that is future proof but it costs $1,000 by itself. Personally, I think the vintage route is the way to go.

I still have AP's Tales Of Mystery And Imagination album. I bought it the week it came out probably for $3.99. It seems all new releases back then were $3.99. Most likely purchased at Newberry's, Ayr-Way or Karma Records.

To follow-up. Here's the speakers I'd suggest. Wilson Audio's WAMM Master Chronosonic. $700,000/pr.
