The car or the guy's attire?


** The Ghia was an atrocity. Fortunately the one pictured does not have the partial vinyl roof.

How did you even know that there even WAS a Ghia?

My guess would be that the smaller Alps pots are a bit hard to get right now.

I recently tried to order a few for a set of Vali minis I want to build and already struggled to find just a dozen of them. Different kind of pot, I know, but if Mouser's relatively low stock of the ones used in Sys is any indication, getting a larger amount of them might not be all that trivial right now. You can get them, but not really in quantity. So I guess Schiit might have to prioritize what they have for other products they use them in.

Probably not what's actually going on, but sounds plausible enough, right?!

Also, somewhat related:
I'm "waiting" for a Schiit product that'll be using this particular gem of a pot…

A 20-band EQ, right?

The top 10 is pretty much dead nuts on, 11 - 30 could be shuffled around a bit...

Somewhere in the back of @Ripper2860 s closet is a powder blue polyester leisure suit and a pair of platform shoes, ya know, just in case they come back in style…

Some very - ahem !-Interseting song choices there - oddly enough I have about 95% of them on vinyl - i class them as my criminal records

Classic Progressive? Sounds like an oxymoron.

Prime Video has the Avengers TV show. I remember them vaguely from my childhood. Rewatching now I am really impressed with the plots. Later I think it gets silly. And season 2 has Honor Blackman

I bought the "Mrs. Peel Years" of the series for us to watch at work during lunch. Alas that I worked with children that knew not of the Joy of Peel...But they did enjoy it finally as they did with "The Wild, Wild, West". I then bought and brought in TV series "The Saint" which they also came to enjoy and even thought they might enjoy some of the earlier films starring George Sanders and later on his brother Tom Conway.

Honor Blackman is a Goddess.

Most TV now is naught but human waste. UGH!

I was about to complain about the lack of Tool until I noticed these are only from 1969 to 1979.

@bevanc ... I followed the link. If my ~20 year old nephew or niece ever show interest in audio, I might send them a SYN with the 2 pairs of BMR1. Starving-student audio?
(((I edited out the price & brand name to respect @Jason Stoddard 's thread ToS))). When I eventually pick up an odd little SYN for my nook, I can see how well they perform with my $$$ rig.

Could you use 2 in the front as a center channel? And then 2 in the back for surround? These would be easier “sell” for my wife to agree.

One of the things I love about being in Japan: I was stuck in Tokyo because of a typhoon, which grounded all flights back to Fukuoka, and getting another flight was near impossible for days. No problem! I just booked a shinkansen and was back only a day late. The actual time it took from my Airbnb to home was, all up, only an hour longer and I felt far less stressed.

How, pray tell, does one pronounce it? It reads like "***-u-oka"? Any one that is broffended can be broffended. It is not that I could not resist but that I saw no good reason to turn down my Sense-O-Humor! To atone I shall be watching Zatoichi later today.
I am nothing if not a tremendous Zatoichi enthusiast! And I can only dream of visiting wonderful Japan...

Christ on a skateboard, I didn't even see the guys in the background before you pointed them out.
That's, like, some solid 70s camo right there.
