    I too am a metal head and in my opinion (one of) the most overlooked (metal) albums of the mid 80's is Mercyful Fate - Don't Break the Oath

    Analog system complete?

    Nice setup and no better feeling than that of being content with your current system. For me, that's when I listen to the music instead of listening to the system.

    Led Zeppelin VS Black Sabbath

    The Sabbath fans seem a little more vocal... I'm squarely in the Sabbath camp. Both bands are still hugely influential but Sabbath has influenced far more of the bands that I listen too.

    Tool Time: Electric Impact Wrenches

    "Any idea the torque Milwaukee claims for yours?" From the website: 1,000 ft-lbs of fastening torque and 1400 ft-lbs of nut-busting torque. I've never put it up against a nut it could not break loose Same as WillVT, I have a lot of tools that use the same batteries. Once you choose a battery...

    Tool Time: Electric Impact Wrenches

    "Am I expecting too much from this cheap tool?". Yes, you get what you pay for. "How much should I anticipate spending to do a simple task like removing a lug bolt, much less an upper control arm nut?". I paid about 7x as much as you did. I have a Milwaukee 1/2 inch impact wrench and it works...

    What's the story with all of these (non-audio) thread topics?

    Isn't the OP's original question, in itself, an off-topic post?

    What are you listening to right now and on what speakers

    The Darts - Snake Oil on a set of Advent 1's

    Realistic Optimus 800: Treasure or trash?

    They are by no means an exceptional speaker, think of them as the Radio Shack equivalent of a big box store rack system speaker. They will sound "pretty good" to some, "really good" others and "terrible" to the rest. If you've never re-foamed a speaker before, these would be an excellent pair...

    Sony PS-X60 turntable

    Just in case it's not as easy as you're being lead to believe (not saying it isn't or questioning the expertise of the other helpful members) you may need to dig in a little deeper and clean the lift mechanism a bit more thoroughly. It's been a while since I've had mine apart but it did suffer...

    Pioneer SX-535 SX-737

    Just my two cents... I found them to be voiced very similarly. The appreciable difference is the added power of the 737 and the overhead that brings. Neither is particularly powerful though so It will largely depend on your speakers, source and the condition of the respective components. Apples...

    What tv show are you currently binging?

    My wife and I are about half way through Fargo. It's one of her favorite movies, we're both big Coen brothers fans and the series is excellent. If you enjoy well scripted dark comedies I'd highly recommend it.

    How to re cap a KA 94 KENWOOD AMPLIFIER

    Not to hijack the OP's thread but t's been a few years do I doubt he'll mind... Be patient and persistent. I just went through mine and it was a bear to get good penetration, especially with a newer, yellow straw Deoxit can. I spent several days carefully dripping Deoxit on the switches...
