  1. Thanks dusty. You are correct, the 2nd and 4th in the video. Oh and down with peanuts.
  2. For anyone that is interested and has the time, I could use your ears and eyes to help me out. I am getting another Stansell uke, and am going back and forth between these two: The first one is very figured Myrtle top back and sides with ebony binding, board, bridge, and headplate. The second one is very figured black walnut top back and sides with myrtle binding, board, bridge, and headplate. Below is a video with audio clips. Would love to hear your thoughts on which one you find more aesthetically pleasing as well as which one sounds better to you. I am literally 50/50 and can go either way. https://youtu.be/77QjHFqAEGw

  4. This was the barbecue place the fam ate at Sunday. http://greenstreetmeats.com That combined with kumas made a very nice meat weekend.
  5. Thanks guys! Doug that video is hilarious - I like her little intro. This was a nice weekend! I got to eat a lot of meat with John Bryan and mike. Oh and stoop dark lord is the best. Sunday the family went into th city, millennium park; Maggie Daley park, and we ate at a Texas barbecue place in west loop called greet street smoked meats where I had more meat. I shall take head case crew there next time, it was fun and pork belly. Today is more pork with cake.

  10. Hey guys, Just a heads up of a post I saw on Facebook. For a small company in a niche market, that kind of loss can threaten being able to stay in business. Avoid crazy deals and no buying off the street or in back alleys/white vans.
  11. I'm sold on the uturn, but now it appears the wait is until May:(
  12. The emotiva is $90 with my e club discount.
  13. Oh I think I am going to go with the uturn and that emotiva sale on the phone preamp. Should be small and simple enough for the wife to be able to play grandmas records and gives me an excuse to purchase vinyl.
  14. Ha. I was on their official website and I simply didn't scroll down far enough to see the rest of the description. Yay .
  15. What are the measurements of the uturn?

    just confirming you guys know the price is per speaker, so you technically need to buy 2, correct?

    Glad you guys got in on the deal - I have to tell you, these things are super impressive. Great treble and midrange, tons of bass, it gets bass-i-rific in my room. And, they have the little DIP switches on back to tailor the response, you can set the bass cutoff, treble cutoff points, there is a lot of versatility in the EQ to get it just right in your room. Mine are running flat, but I could probably trim the bass if I wanted to make it linear. Nah, just kidding, I like the bass.
  18. Hi! A few weekends ago, we visited my wife's grandma's house for a final time, as she was recently admitted into a home, and they are going to have an estate sale. This was a chance for the grandkids to sort of go through and pick any momentos they wanted. I thought it would be nice to take home her grandma's old vinyl and possibly play it a bit. I am not a vinyl guy at all, nor do i see myself really getting into it. So all I am looking for is a very cheap, small space, functional vinyl rig that my wife can listen to her grandma's old records.

    Secret emotiva warehouse sale Stealth 6 factory renewed for $330 each! That is a KILLER price (I got mine for the full brand new retail )
  20. This uke is the real deal. As a classically-trained instrumentalist (violin) and vocalist, the instrument is darn perfect. The intonation literally is perfect all the way up the fretboard, and the tone is so darn consistent throughout the range. Great dynamics too, it plays very soft without losing its tone, but you can really drive it home without it breaking up. This is a tenor, curly myrtle back and sides, by Mya-Moe.
  21. LOL. Believe it or not, that was my first ever YouTube recorded and posted. In fact, the YouTube capture app warned me, "you sure you want to do portait? It is not going to look good," and I still ignored it. I am actually serious, the app warned me portrait would me it look like shit.

  23. New uke day! Ukes are like the step children of guitars, yes?
  24. Lol. Heartfelt says the same thing.
  25. The heartfelt beads are two way, like boveda.
