“I can’t think of any Gordon Lightfoot song I don’t like,” Bob Dylan once said. “Every time I hear a song of his, it’s like I wish it would last forever.”

Life is a cycle and he has a wonderful one.

I grew up listening to Gordon Lightfoot (still listen to him). My mother absolutely loved him. He was the first concert I ever went too. If you clapped during one of his songs, he stopped and started all over again! LOL

My Web station at the Byron (CA, USA) Shops has a zero-acoustic-signal sound pressure level < 50 dB (sensor 2' (0.61m) from the vent side o' my ASUS® CM1630-06 as upgraded, A weighting, fast response), judging from a Radio Shack® 33-4050 Sound Level Meter.

Even when the Patriots are around ?

R.I.P. Gordon Lightfoot.

Oh no!

I hadn't heard the news.

He was a very special artist. A brilliant songwriter, whose story-telling lyrics and haunting melodies were masterful. He also had a lovely, rich voice.

I was introduced to his music in 1970, with the album 'Sit Down Young Stranger' which was later re-released as 'If You Could read My Mind'.

It is a superb album which, in my opinion, is a serious contender for the elusive 'flawless album' ,as every track is so good.

I was lucky to see him play live at The Royal Albert Hall in the early 70s. It was a superb concert

I have loads of his albums and listening to them will have extra poignancy now.

RIP Gordon.

Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was my favorite. RIP.

Buying more than you need won't necessarily make you future-proof

…. if the wallet is chronically empty, you are future-proofed: you can’t afford getting there!

They also offer a BYO kit with links to a third party flat pack. You can make your own for considerably less.

(Something way more a @Paladin79 thing than mine - living in a condo I have no access to woodworking.)
.

Ah thanks, unfortunately I dont have woodworking access either

I am thinking of just getting a (2nd hand) soundbar (that's all my desk can fit with all of that schiit and other stuff) and use that as the center channel first and just use that with a sub and powered monitors (i.e. no back speakers). Is that a good idea?

Except for not having a single pair of matched tubes to roll in the Freya?

Pimping at it's best

 

[Chicagorob]

Ah the warm glow of flowing electrons...or it that a hot filament! lol..

My old Vali 2+ with an adapter to use those cute short tubes!!

Wonderful amp.

Have you tried a GE 5670 5-star red? It’s truly amazing in the Vali 2++.

 

[HWB3]

I'm using mine right now. I've got a GE JAN 5670W tube in it. I've got the Doobies Live at the Beacon on into my Sundara's. Life is good.

 

[Sinister Whisperz]

So I am still still trying to figure out matching the Rekkr and its 2w output to a pair of speakers. This video seems to validate my belief I'll be just fine with 87db Wharfedale 225s. What am I missing?

 

[JanMc]

You won't be. There will be no headroom for dynamics and you won't be able to play music at what I consider a reasonable listening level. Pick some speakers that are 95+ db efficient and it would be a different story.

 

[Plautus001]

I may have missed it, but has anyone compared the G-horn with Aeger for SQ?

Also not yet, but how would the Tektoon Lore Ref do with 10 watts?
