You spelled Lee Ving wrong. Never took him for the skiing type tho 🤷‍♂️😜

Got this cherry wood headshell for $66 from Japan. And it has adjustable azimuth! It's almost exactly the same mass as this 'table's stock aluminum headshell but the nagaoka mp-150 sounds noticeably different mounted on it compared to the stock one. I like wood 🤪

Finally got this in the mail! Soundin real good with the nagaoka mp-150 through the Skoll. No need to engage the Lokius. Speaking of wood, I've been consistently really liking what wood headshells are doing for me on this 'table. Got a cherry wood Yamamoto with adjustable azimuth shipped from...

Simple. Laziness! 🙂

Plenty of life left in that old guy! Plus I have a pcie to nvme adaptor on the way 🙂 Barely putting a dent in the cpu so far, with lots of plugins. No buffer underruns, no crashes. Loving it!

Ok not really a head-fi station but I'm having lots of fun with the holo spring2 and ubuntu studio. Looking forward to cancelling my subscription for the DAW that shall not be named 🙂 Got a fanless gpu and a very quiet cpu cooler and psu.

Beautiful! But I want a clear shot of your gear now! 🙂

It's been a while but I remember liking the Sylvania 6SN7GTA tubes from the 50s. I believe they can still he had for ~$50 each testing NOS. There are a lot of them that were rebranded but still sounded great to me. Some say "Delco" on the base. I believe they all have the stop sign logo on top.

I'll never forget the look on the face of a man in Cabela's when as a young pup I dry fired one of the bows in front of him.

Make sure to dry fire them every so often to keep them in good condition 😜

I mean, none of us appreciate sticky-fingered visitors or staff, but "taking them out" seems a bit extreme! 😜

Sure thing! I think there are others like it on there too. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805793547523.html

@bcowen Found it if you want the link. I've been tempted myself. I will say that there was something about the hana el that didn't quite do it for me in the long run. Maybe a tad clinical to my ears.

Nah, it's just an old school-style p2p network/app. Kind of like Limewire but specifically for music (and without the malware).

Aw bummer, I don't have that one. Back in my DJing days when I would get a request it was usually to turn it down 😄 If you already own the album and are just looking for a rip of it, you could try Soulseek. Lots of vinyl rips on there.
