Looking forward to this. PM me if you need a ride in from the Eastside, I've got some room. See ya'll there.

memepool: Excellent link, thanks! The translation's a little unique, but http://denon.jp/museum/products/dp59l.html is a big help. Out of curiosity, what has happened in the last 20 years with tonearms that strongly differentiates the mid-80's with now? Materials, I would imagine (carbon?) but...

No other owners? I would have figured they'd be pretty popular! -V

HD is a funny beast. You should bear in mind that HD is essentially a very clever way of fitting twice as much content into the same amount of bandwidth, and generally somethings going to give. Stations like this because, instead of doubling up on one station and pushing through some extra...

I'm giving some thought to the Denon DP-L series turntables after hearing a 59L some weeks ago. For the price of entry, the sound was very, very nice. Good looking too. The range seems to have a number of models to chose from, though. 59L's, 60L's, 75L's, etc. They all seem to be constructed...

It'd have to be The Animals - House of the rising sun for me, just for the rock organ

Luck punk Are you pulling pots, rings or diving for them? Everything legal size is coming up soft shell for me, except for a handfull of small red rock. -V

I forgot about crab season! Time to dig out the pots (and the boat). Pity two of my favorite spots are under a red tide warning... Thanks for the unintentional reminder! Anyone going out for shrimp as well, or fishing the marine 8-2 or admiralty inlet areas? -V

I picked their (only) disk up when I was heading out of a radio gig one night. It sat around for a year on my shelves before I got around to listening to it as well. So now that I've finally gotten around to putting it in the cd player? Hooked. They were on Gestalt when they did "Kali Yuga"...

The "big 4" ice caves are always spectacular, and the ~.75 mile walk is (mostly) flat and paved/boardwalked in places. Don't go in them or slide down the face, there's a slight (extreme) danger of collapse. Deception pass, as mentioned, is also very nice. Nice place to picnic. The water's...

Look at his project "to-build" list, then buy the man some wood. Really. Wood's getting so expensive that if you want to build anything in a unique sort of wood, you need a second mortgage. Your budget would pick up a very nice selection of exotics (Wenge, for example) in moderately...

I think I'd prefer to buy it with the note. -V

A tempting chance to get yet another glossy catalog Already getting Mouser, Newark and Digi-Key's offerings semi-regularly, however... I think it's a better idea to just browse online. I kill enough trees already -Viverr p.s. And Switchcraft. I mean, dang. I never expected a company to...

If you go into Lowes, they'll probably tell you to buy a little 3-2 prong adapter. It'll have a tab sticking out the bottom that you're supposed to attach to the faceplate screw. If you have a relatively (60's-80's) modern apartment (where the j-box is metal and grounded, or plastic with a...

Man, Amy had better stop pushing for re-releases. It's getting ridiculous to own so many copies of the same thing, even if it is a different format. I'll probably still pick it up, though. Spineless consumer and Opeth nut that I am. -Viverr

Christ, I can see straight into the follicles of her eyebrows. If that's not an argument for a top-notch digital, I don't know what is. -V

Steve, I picked up: Rossini Overtures Beethoven, Symphony No. 3 in E. Flat (Eroica) Debussy, Quartet in G minor (Op. 10) Berlioz, Romeo and Juliet ("Dramatic Symphony" excerpts Delius, Brigg Fair: An English rhapsody and Bach, Concerto in D minor (2 violins and orchestra). No foil...

Steve: Honestly? No idea. I was given an AT cartridge geared toward 78's after asking around a bit at the station I work at. I'm guessing it's maybe 3.5-4? There's a noted difference between the AT cart. and the Grado 3 mil I've got, for what that's worth. The notion of getting a new Grado 78...

Some of you might be interested in this... Found some interesting vinyl the other day, and picked it up. The label's RCA Red label De-Luxe. Early 1940's(?) vinyl 78's. The majority of the ones I picked up are unopened. Some have very, very minor surface scratching from the cardstock(!)...

Dude, congrats! I just got the same sort of thing put in, so I'll be waiting for that day for a few years. Good to know those suckers come out as easily as they did in (or moreso!). For what you payed for it, you would have thought they could have used a quarter, at least. -Viverr
