Elliot's turntable in E.T. This has been bugging me for months now and didn't see an answer here or anywhere else. I just *had* to figure it out. :D Elliot's turntable looks like an Aurex / Toshiba SR-F100.

My gear obsession started a few years ago with me wanting to try different speakers, turntables, and receivers -- and also the thrill of the find. After awhile it got pretty out of hand, so I started selling off stuff. We're down to "only" 4 systems, now: the main basement system for...

I will keep an eye on the thread and mark May 17 down. Maybe I can make it to this one. :) I've been out of the loop for ages.

Hey, your pm box is full. :( Thanks for the Turntable Strobe purchase, much appreciated!! --Michael

I think there's residual mouse pee that smells when mine warms up. MMmmm. Good times. Man I haven't fired up the tape deck in ages. Maybe tonight or tomorrow. My turntables have been down for months... hopefully *something* analog works around here.

Chocolate Box Shiraz. This stuff is incredible. http://chocolateboxwines.com/wine-details-shiraz.php

Though I sell on Tindie (it's like etsy for electronics kits), these aren't my items, so I am unaffiliated with these. But figured some folks might find these of interest. I don't know much about headphone amps but I guess this is a well known DIY design with single dual rail op amp. Anyway hope...

simulated light leak, cross processed, maybe some hue adjustment toward blue...?

IIWY I'd jump all over the Polks. My HK 395i in the living room seems to work very well with the Polk Monitor 4's hooked up. I am regularly surprised at how nice it sounds. By comparison, I had an HK 680 for awhile and ran Boston Acoustics T1030s and NHT 2.5i's and they sounded fine but never...

I think this is similar to the TC230 I had for awhile. Those rubber drive wheels get hard and smooth with age. That happened to mine and it didn't want to spin the reels properly. You can be a rubber rejuvenator (I think I used Techspray brand but I don't remember for sure) which may restore the...

Looks like fun! Wished I could've been there.

Unfortunately, I've had something come up and won't be able to make it.

Where's the GTG going to be? I have it in my calendar... would love to hang out with you guys again, it's been ages.

Nice job on the repair!! I think I did mine with USB mouse wire which is really thin, like 30-something gauge. Mine burned up in exactly the same place. Thank you Boston Acoustics -- better a burned out wire than a toasted voice coil. Discoloration is probably residue from solder paste or...

If I lost one of my cats I'd search non stop and if I found it I'd sure not hesitate to take it back AND if I couldn't I'd leave my contact info whether or not the person I talked to asked for it. I love my cats, so I'd want them back ASAP.
