Came across this while looking for Garrard 301 pictures. This guy has a lot of high quality toys, and he takes really good pictures.

The 45 limited edition globe now shows sold out. I guess that's the end of that. I doubt these will ever be made again because they are difficult to produce and because shipping is risky...
Take a look at these Western Electric museum pieces. Oustanding gear from the dawn of audio. I especially liked the gallery link to the Model Two. That's some exceptional engineering.

Here is a brand new Emission Labs forum at Jacmusic. Also looks like Lundahl, Yamomoto, VAIC, and others. Could be some interesting topics there once it gets going.

Look at this craigslist sale. Rack after rack and shelf after shelf of vintage gear. There is a link to his photobucket album with all the pics. Not one pic of his RCA LC-9A speakers though. I'd really like to see a few pics of that. I may never see another pair for sale in my lifetime...
I've been trying to contact Paul and Debbie Darst for the last month at ddarst2@carolina.rr.com to purchase some replacement horn foam. I can't get a reply from them. Does anyone have an alternative method of contacting them or know if they are still in business?
The TV listings, schedule, and grid are now up. You may have to enter your zip code or area, but once done you can select day of competition and see what is on each channel. It makes it real easy to plan ahead. I think it's their best grid yet. :thmbsp...
I just received a newly rebuilt 1040 a couple weeks ago and today it crapped out on me. It stays powered up but the sound just dropped out. All the fuses seem to be fine and then I noticed the overload lamp next to the power lamp is lit. I guess something went wrong and the amp went into...
There is the C. Crane Twin Coil Ferrite Antenna for about $100, a little less used.
Then there is the McKay Dymek DA 9 for $300.00, maybe $150.00 - $200.00 used if you can find one for sale.
The reviewer at FMTunerinfo liked the Twin Coil better than the McKay...

The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of us would see the dancer turning...
Well, apparently I do.
I was cleaning out my garage and took some of those cheap bright red shop rags and threw them in the washer and then completely forgot about them. Last night I did a load of wash and now all my socks and shorts are pink. I'm going to add this to that long list of...
Look at this pic I lifted from the FM Tuners Group. McIntosh, Sansui, Yamaha, Tandberg, Rohde & Schwarz, Sequerra, Fisher, And a few more that I'm not sure of. Pretty impressive.
Here is a silly poll to get your thoughts on my neighbor that has a penchant for irritating me day and night. This scenario is about a minor infraction. You wouldn't believe the crap this guy pulls, and I would have bloody fingertips if I would recount them all.
You work five days a week...
A few short clips of The Wizard of Oz set to Pink Floyd's Darks Side of the Moon. And far too many reader's comments to sift through.

I'm not sure how many people are aware of the vintage cassette deck listings at the appropriately named

You can look up just about any brand and model of cassette deck and compare features and specs and gawk at the pictures. It's affiliated with...

I tried it and apparently my ears are still pretty golden for my age and both ears are still pretty even and can still hear those high frequencies.
Edit: Post your graph if you want. I...
At the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) site is a collection of videos showing the manufacture of a wide variety of products. But since this is an audio forum you might find these videos particularly interesting. Just scroll down the page to find videos of:
Clarinets

There was an Ebay auction for one of these cassette decks with a BIN of $2180 US. The auction got pulled for some reason and doesn't show up in the completed listings.
From what limited information I can dig up this seems to be one of the few decks that is a Dragon Slayer. What is this deck...
Has anyone tried these lamps? Are they as good as they claim?
