Nice, Larry, good to be able to replace cheaply enough....sounds like the family that needs good insurance

^^^ Used to love those, but this one was perhaps the funniest. Once, after a trip to Japan, I myself had stomach issues. I got these small chewy, bad-tasting pellets at the airport, they were magical! Never saw things like it here....it looked like small BB-sized pellets of black hash.....

Craig, you seem quite intelligent. Sarcastic too (which I personally happen to like). But letting sarcasm drop to cynicism won't get you far. One of the things that the welcome PM should impart is the concept of how social this place is. It's not always about what someone knows technically, but what one can contribute to just make this a more interesting place. It happens to include cars, bikes, drinks, food, etc., and even audio. This isn't the type of place that - no matter how experienced and intelligent you are - you come in and expect to be treated like royalty (IE, your comment about people being nice to you and you imparting knowledge). As was stated, we have discourse and disagreements about many things, but it's something that's earned through participation and contribution. And as Spritzer said, it's not about post count. Continue the discussion on the SRM-313 if you will, but don't get so defensive - remember that thick skin you said you have - and enjoy the ride. I'm sure there's a lot you can contribute, but also can pick up as well. Something tells me it'd be nice to have you here over time. We're an odd bunch, but a really great odd bunch. My two cents.....

Oh, isn't that lovely..... Craig, please read your welcome PM. Then, maybe visit the DIY forums and see who adds a ton of value there. This is a very different forum, best to get used to it and its inhabitants. And just to be specific, he didn't make fun of you as a person, but instead commented on your post. But with responses like the above, that could change.

Here....4 Heading up to Bah Hahbah (Bar Harbor) Maine today.....

Just READING this, and I can't get their cover of "Our Lips Are Sealed" out of my head.....

x2. Music is pretty nice, too!

RIP Boyfriend....what a great name!

RIP Miko, glad you had a good life with your humans. Sympathies to you and family, Ric.....

Happy Birthday!

That's indeed awesome, "much" better half indeed! Happy 60th! Me: listening to Tina Dico - Whispers Nice Danish singer-songwriter, pretty bare and intense with songs. Folk-pop with some country influence.

Birgir, for YOU, it's only $45K, not $50K....SUCH a deal!

Hmmmm, hasn't hit me yet.....but I don't fumble much with volume. Still, something to monitor. And not surprised to see the reactions to LH's lack of communication. I was in the same boat, order held up for a while because they only had one color for the 720. Never friggin' told me, never offered the black as an alternative until I wrote a rather scathing note/trouble ticket.....

RIP....good actor, very good director, and great human.

No pics, but made my first sous vide meal today, two salmon filets. Texture and temp came out real well, needed some better flavoring though (had some dill herb mix I tried). Pan fried the skin side for a tiny bit after removing from the bag.

Glad everyone here is OK, sorry to hear about your sister....hope the recovery is OK for her family and others.

I think they look quite nice for standard shaped speakers. That room looks familiar, too, I think I heard some YG Acoustics speakers there (driven by some likely-older Moon Audio gear) when Karen and I visited SF a few years ago.

Wow, sturdy plants they be..... Grahame, I'll reach out to a buddy of mine who's at Cloudera, will see if he might be able to get me one or two....

It does have some volume control issue, hence the good price. The Matrix stuff - I've had 3 of their products before - is very good, but I think it always falls a little short of the competition (albeit more expensive). EDIT: IMO

^^^ That is awesome, I know several (including myself) who would love that....

Yup, sorry, was still in my "bypass the amp" mode!

Ric, per the quote I had from Sony's literature, the analog inputs are NOT routed to the line out.....so no vinyl, unless you ADC it first and feed one of the digital inputs.....

Yup....I have that voice going through my head about once a week.......

Even if the amp can't, it has RCA outputs. Can't tell if it's volume controlled or not, but thinking it's fixed output. Per Sony's literature: Just opens up another option for an external amp for your LS-50's-to-be....

Good idea Bryan, better to be conservative. If you need some basic connectivity, perhaps get a pre-paid phone? Always good to have in emergency.....
