I still listen to vinyl from time to time. I have 2 turntables. I only buy higher quality albums now, 180 gram or higher. Expensive but much better than the crap we bought back in the 70s. I've converted my entire CD collection (700) to FLAC and rarely use them anymore. I've also downloaded a ton of hi-res music (pcm and dsd). Expensive but the sound is phenomenal even with my poor ears. Headphones listening especially.
You guys are way ahead of me. Until I just googled it, I did not know what FLAC was!
I learned something new too Bert. Reading this forum was the first time I have heard of FLAC in my life. I goggled it and it is all Greek to me.
The part I like about retirement is, "I can always put it off till tomorrow".....
I have a turn table.......in the box.......the Director picked it as a gift for her 20 yrs of service......it is the only pc of stereo equipment I have.......she has instructed to put together a stereo.......I have an ear for music but zero knowledge of the equipment side even with prompts from folks on here I am still lost......i found an old Marantz thingy but I wouldn't know if it was worth a crap or not.......I need a stereo rep.......or assistant or something!
Is the Marantz a receiver? Do you have a model #?
This a cause and effect. Animals do not bite by accident. If your dog bit you it was enforcing wolf rules with its teeth. Period. It can and will. Now you know. It's a sign of contentious behavior. It can be tested and addressed.
Soak wound (clean flesh wound with H₂O₂) to open so it can drain.
You're in the right place here. Speaking for myself I have multiple opinions based on fuzzy pleasure. I still remember peeping in the vent holes and seeing the glowing tubes looking for the little people inside the box.

A little trick for helping reinforce who is the leader of the pack in the dog world. In the dog/wolf world, the leader of the pack eats first. Maddie was a 75 pound boxer and all muscle, stronger than 100 pound German Shepard sentry dogs I was around. When she was a pup, we did not leave food out for her to eat at times of her choosing. When we did feed her, we'd put a few chocolate chip cookies on top of her food and make a big commotion about how good it was as we ate first. Then we'd put it on the floor and let her have her turn last, letting her know where she was in the pecking order. We could reach in her mouth and literally take food out of her mouth with no objection from her. As she got older, we stopped the routine, but the lesson stuck.This a cause and effect.

I'd be real careful about giving your dog chocolate. It's poisonous to dogs.
No, we'd put cookies on top of her food. She got regular dog food.
Oh, I thought your dog was actually eating chocolate. No problem then. There's a lot of food that dogs should never eat, grapes, garlic and onions are a few.
I found it the last time you folks was discussing stereos.....it was old I don't even remember what he wanted for it........yes it was a receiver.......the deal is if I find one I don't know if it is a piece of junk of a solid pc of equipment.....I don't mind buying but not junk.........
The old man used a bar of Ivory to rake across my teeth a couple of time .........then he demand that I smile at him while it disolved...........I liked the sound of them cuss words......I gargle at times with H202 and H20 at times just to clean the bad words out of my mouth. It mostly works! Sometimes I ought to go straight H202....(Too much fizz and bite that way though...)
Tease.......
Marantz is long recognized for quality electronics so seems like you need a pair good speakers to match. I see steals at thrift stores cause old folks like us die every day. Maybe they'll allow you to listen and you can trust your ears.
Maddie was a tease. She was a typical boxer. Having fun was her goal in life. She would grab something Jan didn't want her to have and stare at Jan till Jan got up. She'd would run out the doggie door into the back yard with Jan chasing behind. She loved a good game of chase.
Marantz makes some excellent receivers. I really miss my vintage Marantz but it's in a good home. Hopefully your Marantz has a phono input. Check the back to make sure. It may just say "phono". Also, some turntables have their own preamps built in. If you have the model #s of both your turntable and the Marantz receiver then I could look it up and let you know. If neither have a preamp then you can buy an external phono preamp. These can be cheap or really expensive (overkill).
Thoughts and prayers for your friend.

That's interesting. Is that cloud cover over KY? Not sure what I'm looking at.
I wish Disney had never moved to this state. It is run by a bunch of freaks who are pushing their LBQTGFU agenda.
Good luck.Good morning from ATX. Currently 48°F and clear. High expected around 77°F.
Visited emergency room yesterday. Received two shots, including one in the hip. Two firemen, who were taking training at hospital, cut off my wedding ring because my hand swelled so much. Talk about a 45-minute adventure. Everybody worked hard. Quite an experience.
Pup threw up again last night. Thinking it's just leftovers from her treatment. Wife wrote a big sign stating "DO NOT FEED". Pup acts like she's starving.
Over 1,200 structures in county north of us damaged by tornadoes. Some buildings totally destroyed. We were lucky.
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.
