Thank you very much but sometimes a man has to carry his own burden..........I will have to shoulder the taxes on the above items on my own and..........come what may...........I have been looking at new belts anyway.....
D-League
- Thread starter Wildcat Droppings
- Start date
The Director and myself just set the alarm for 7 PM sharp Cord........we share your sorrow.............hopefully time will dull the pain.........
Nice, very nice. This is the first time I have heard this song. Thank you for sharing. With all of the nonsense I throw out on the D League it is refreshing to have a poster post some serious thoughts. Beautiful words and song
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.
You got it buddy! Wouldn't miss it.
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.
Dark Side of the Moon is on sale for $28.99 at WalMart. It is remastered off the original tapes and I believe they are 180g, but still...
Watching Cincy play Navy and if that's the number 2 team next week, then it's all fake. I'm looking at their defensive line and our offensive guys would dwarf them.
Of course Cincy turns it on as soon as I posted that. lead 13-10 at the half.
To follow-up. Here's the speakers I'd suggest. Wilson Audio's WAMM Master Chronosonic. $700,000/pr.

Once cassette tapes came out I would tape the album the first time it was on the turn table.......put it back in the cover.......and never play it again......I have a bunch of albums that were only played once......I guess we have decided to play them..........The Director was in electronics school when we first met.......she is going to put together a 5 channel color organ to connect the Christmas tree with the stereo.......she made a three channel color organ that we used for several years.........we like to see the lights blink to the music...........we almost always have music on around here.............we have a Bose wireless system.......she ran across the boxes of LP's a few days ago while cleaning...........and now we are on the quest for a stereo........
I remember when we popped that top. It was surprisingly smooth for a 114.
I was impressed with ware but, I am worried about strength. We will see vs Duke for sure. Scrimmage games while fun to watch are not as intense and tough as the real thing.
Going to toast him with some Scoresby Scotch. 7 eastern?
I am watching Wake Forest vs Army and it is 56-42 Wake. If not for the 2 interceptions Army threw (not a passing team) it is probably an even game. Wake's receivers just too fast for Army's defense. They have only been stopped once the whole game. Army's running game has kept them in it. We would eat WF up.
Wake Forest 56-Army 49. Army ran all run plays from their 25 until about 15 yards out and then threw a pass for a TD. Wake can't stop the run and Army can't stop the passing game.
Trust your ears. Design a surround for a music stage and the movies will be fine in your surround as that's a center and sub focus on the visual. Show the Director the SVS site for ideas. That's what I did anyway. My "Social" director needed one for her movies. Now there's melodic hump in the thump for anything from pipe organs to canon thunder.
I’m jealous of you guys with good hearing, until Dickie V is on.
Wake Forest 63-Army 49. Wake through the air until 1st and goal and they run it in. No field goals this game.
The same people who say the score of the Cincy game doesn't matter are the same ones who point to the margin of victory in the Cincy wins. Biden logic.
I assume on real time: our time, CST!
I talked to a guy at SVS about using their Prime Elevation speakers for an Atmos set-up. He was very helpful and said the speakers could work but my basement ceiling has 2 levels due to ductwork. Flat works best plus the walls aren't at an optimal height. The best scenario for height speakers are in-ceiling mounts but it would be nearly impossible to fish speaker wire without doing some serious damage. Running exposed wire across the ceiling and down the walls would look like s--t. Dolby enabled Atmos speakers that point up at the ceiling and bounce the sound down are probably a gimmick from what I've read plus I don't want my theater to look like Stonehenge. Even though my A/V processor supports up to 11 channels I'd still have to buy another amp to power the extra speakers. $$$$$$. Oh well. This technology will have to wait.

Thank you...........I am sick and I don't want help.......OC........on the other end of that.........I have 45 rpm records that I about wore out learning to play music when I was a kid......I found a Columbia Record Club record player in the trash ............I got a lot of mileage out of that and my Roses guitar........had to put a new needle on it about every two to three weeks..... a needle for it was $.69 at Shively Records......I did the same thing.
You are sick awf; you did what I did.
You are sick.
Me thinks you are going to be late......isn't all of Ohio in EST.....
“Every night I run a needle through walking the floor”. Miss the Voice.
