Based on what I have been hearing from my friends who buy Russian-made goods such as firearms, recent sanctions against Russia will be resulting in severe restrictions on Russian imports to the USA and other countries. Not being political, I am only offering a recommendation based on recent...

I got this at a local thrift store last week. It was very inexpensive, especially considering I picked it up on my birthday - they give your age as a percent discount on your birthday. So 53% off, nice! Next year I'm going in loaded for bear! So I just got around to firing it up. SWEET...

Really got lucky today at ye olde thrift shoppe. IMGP0016 by Wigwam Jones, on Flickr These are the Paradigm "Performance Series" bookshelf speakers. I am led to believe they are the 'Atom' models, but I do not know which version; I guess there were a bunch of them. I'm also not at all...

Never thought I'd see that happen again. I guess vinyl really must be back in a major way, if there are companies making counterfeit copies again! http://www.billboard.com/biz/articles/news/global/6157444/german-police-raid-europes-biggest-counterfeit-pressing-plant

Last week, I drove to Texas and saw my first and so far only granddaughter, who is all of 2 weeks old. Fantastic! Today, my 53rd birthday, I found a Pioneer QX-8000 quad receiver at the local thrift store on the way home from work. Half off for it being my birthday, so $15! Haven't been...

Found this article interesting. Some old ground covered, but some new information as well. Worth a read. http://www.newrepublic.com/article/118560/blues-revival-histories-are-newly-popular-book-publishing

Starting a new thread, the last one turned out to be about car engines and Mcintosh for some reason that eludes me. So. I recently had an opportunity to purchase a used, condition-unknown Dynaco ST-120, but decided to pass. Since I was traveling cross-country, I can't just change my mind...

Disregard. FFS.

The hits just keep coming. I seem to have struck a recent vein of mid-80s pop, with some others mixed in. Surprised to find jazz; usually those you never see. And prog-rock like Tangerine Dream and Kitaro? Cool! Anyway, for those who say thrift stores never have anything good; keep...

Just a funny little story about vinyl records. http://www.theage.com.au/comment/holy-coolaroonies-an-old-mans-taste-in-music-goes-round-and-round-20140619-zseq0.html

An interesting story that highlights exactly what is often cussed and discussed here on AK. Makes me think people read our threads and then go write articles about it. http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/rob-mitchell/listening-to-vinyl-_b_5526373.html?just_reloaded=1
