That after about 6 or 8 hours of work, a Hanpin built TT would sound almost as good as a mid grade Technics but still be inferior.:crazy: Stanton T90 Modifications: preamp / USB board removal - would have left it alone, but the USB was a little too noisy to make good vinyl rips Technics...

I just installed Hypnotix https://itsfoss.com/hypnotix-iptv-app/ from the Software Center in Linux Mint, and it is friggin' cool. It has ~2000 channels from around the world. I see more on there for free that I am interested in watching than what is on DirecTV. Once we get moved to where...

I am still alive and kicking, though not doing especially well. Before the first of the year, I admitted myself into a mental hospital as the depression, anxiety, and anger issues were getting the better of me. I was put on new medication and given ECT (shock therapy) for the depression. And...

My mom isn't that old, senile, or anything else, but she was raised to be way too trusting. She has been screwed out of money by some asshole on CL before, and been taken advantage of in other ways, even though I do my best to protect her. She wanted me to take a picture of her to send to some...

I searched and didn't find much at all. I have a PC-15 that came to me on a headshell I picked up. I stuck a NOS Astatic conical replacement in it, and it sounds pretty decent. The original was supposedly a .5 mil conical, but all the replacements I have seen are .7mil conicals. Thoughts...

A suspended license, a trashed car, and using flashlights as headlights.:crazy: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2020/12/02/us/washington-flashlights-car-trnd/index.html

I was putting my 680EL on a headshell, and the screws felt loose. It turned out the mounting ears / wings came off. It was barely spot welded on from the factory. I roughed up the surfaces with some 400 grit and epoxied it together. It isn't perfect, but I didn't make a mess out of it...

A lot of people seem to eat really early, around lunch time at noon or 2 PM. I never liked eating a big meal that early. I am shot and lethargic for the whole day if I do. It will only be me and my mom for dinner. We both normally eat late anyhow, and are only making a turkey breast and a...

https://www.phillyvoice.com/comcast-data-cap-2021-home-users-internet-pennsylvania-new-jersey-xfinity/ 1.2 TB per month, starting in January. We will be getting Comcast when we get moved to our new place. That shouldn't really affect us because we don't really stream anything but some...

I just spoke to them, and they said that due to changes in phone technology or whatever, my "dumb" phone will become a paper weight after the first of the year and I'll have to get a new one. It sucks because I just bought it not that long ago. I let the service lapse for a while and it was a...

And not go only by what the application book, chart, computer or whatever says fits. The battery just took a dump in Mom's '15 Hyundai Accent. I went to Rural King for one because they are cheaper there. They are made by Exide, and are decent batteries. I've used them several times. Some...

The screen back lighting failed on my POS Compaq laptop, and I said that when it showed the first sign of trouble, it would get trashed. I put in an offer on da 'bay for a Dell that seemed like a decent deal and is almost the same model as one that I recently bought. I accidentally overlooked...

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1960s-RCA-Stereo-Console-Model-VLT-51W/154105931790 That's more than we paid for the house and two car garage we recently bought, my van, and my truck together.:D

For the first time in using Linux full time for the last 2 1/2 years, it failed on me for the first time after it was set up and working correctly. They pulled a Microsoft and released an update that broke something, causing Mint 19 to not boot up and go into an error loop. I had to get on...

I went to install a new Pioneer radio in my '04 Chebby truck. I read that those trucks need a $55 adapter box to keep RAP (retained accessory power, which keeps the radio going until you open the door) and the stupid door warning chimes.:rolleyes: I wasn't paying $55 for an unneeded box. I...

No, this isn't about audio gear, it's about building materials. I picked out a bathtub and shower surround on Lowes' website. The reviews said to expect for them to possibly arrive broken and have to either wait for or have to drive to find replacements. I waited almost 3 WEEKS for my tub and...

I bought a Tonar Stanton 500EE replacement that is supposedly made by Jico. This thing is JUNK. Truly the worst aftermarket I own. The S sounds are lispy and splattered at times, and the high end is muted and missing detail. The channels are imbalanced, too. Tracking force at or beyond the...

I have a Realistic Lab 2200 DD linear tracker that I picked up cheap. Unfortunately, the dust cover has a diagonal crack in the middle of the clear part of the dust cover. If it was on the silver part, it would be easier. I would just grind it out, fill it with epoxy, bondo it, and paint it...

An '07 Charger Police car turned into a ute. Saw it on CL for only $10,950. It's interesting, but I'd never pay that for it.

Somebody should grab this. (Not mine, obviously.) https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/zip/d/natrona-heights-zenith-stereo-fm-radio/7198158199.html

I have a Stanton T90 USB 'table. It has the infamous Hanpin weak / useless anti-skate, just like the AT LP120s had. I found someone on vinylengine that ordered the stronger upgraded anti-skate spring directly from AT for his LP120. He provided the part number and even a picture of the springs...

'Cause I just ruined one. I was playing a record in somewhat rough condition on my old Califone school phono. The needle hit a defect in the record and skipped, and immediately the sound got fuzzy and garbled. It must have chipped the diamond or completely ripped it loose, although it appears...
