    Malibu Mansion Stereo

    Anyone see this in the Daily Mail? The house is being sold furnished, I wonder if the stereo comes with it? Is that a turntable or a deep sea crab?

    C-26 Ground Screw Post

    So I was hooking my turntable to my C-26pre-amp after moving it. I noticed the screw holding the crown/clamp & knurl, just found out that name today, was extremely tight. Apparently it was threaded incorrectly and now the screw was bent. Of course while attempting to extricate the screw it...

    THE PGA at BETHPAGE BLACK

    Brooks Koepka gave Molinari & Tiger 4 shots a side and STILL beat them, 7 under to 2 over. That is an old fashioned beating. The rest of the field better get a move on and quickly. Considering how tough this track is, 4 par 4s over 500 yards, a 63 is very impressive. Should be a great weekend.

    IRA GITLER RIP. JAZZ CRITIC AND HISTORIAN.

    One hell of a career for Mr. Gitler, thank you for all of your contributions to Jazz, the great American art form. RIP. As an aside, my wife's old boss played hockey on Gitler's Gorillas, the amatuer hockey team he sponsored! https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/27/obituaries/ira-gitler-dead.html

If I read the owner's manual correctly this does not employ the built in DAC in the Rotel. But uses the...

    So I was listening to one of my college years mixed tracklists, this one focused on the New Wave groups, i.e. Blondie, Police, Cars, etc and found while still enjoyable some of the music hadn't aged quite as well as others. The Ramones, to me, are married to the period where they were at the...
