I just bought a dual ice maker version Whirlpool with a five year extended warranty. When I am mixing drinks for a group now there is less chance of running out. My wife’s only concession.

Artisan ice?

Artisan ice?

Of course!!!! Maybe

A video about class A vs AB but the interesting part is the discussion on sound presentation. I hope this post does not collide with any rules: I see nothing re competition.

Met Harley briefly at the NW audio show in the UK - very pleasant discussed amps etc for his Sibelius speakers - love to hear them with a Freya+ / Aegir 2 set up.

I've never gotten to see F1. But the American Le Mans Series in the middle of Audi's glory days was sure rad!

Went to Watkins Glen F1 in 78, 79 and 80. The bog was a little more subdued than 1974 - https://bangshift.com/bangshiftapex...e-watkins-glen-bog-at-the-1974-us-grand-prix/

We got tired of replacing ice makers. It's just the two of us, so we bought a couple of ice cube trays instead. It turns out that once you get used to the routine, it's not a big deal.

Bass cabs finished today. A pair of 6.5" two-ways will sit on top.
Once I load them up, I can work on the crossover that goes from the bass cabs up to the two-ways.

I love my AR LST's but I'm ready for something different to replace a pair of 50 year old speakers.

The Tyrs will really light these up!

To be continued...

Bass cabs are loaded.
Voicing system crossovers, V2.0

We're talking refrigerators? We had a Whirlpool for 20+ years and didn't move it from California to Arizona even though it was still working just fine. The Samsung "French door" unit we installed here lasted about 10 years until the ice makers and freezer stopped working, and we replaced it with a Goldstar (LG) which seems to be a much better unit than the Samsung. As with anything else in the modern world, YMMV.

Found some very cool, off-white, old-skool fabric from, of all places, Jo-Ann. Quite acoustically transparent too.
Almost exactly the same as what's on the old LST's.
Tops are done then on to the bass bins.

ALMS was my first TRUE love in motor sports. Did you see the Audis live? While hugely impressive feats of performance, it was the weirdest thing seeing such low revving and quite diesels hauling a--, obviously before the current hybrid era.

I'm talking about the legendary R8 open cockpit racers! They won several 24 Hours of Le Mans races and effectively cleaned up in the ALMS and ELMS series before being tossed aside for diesel motors and closed cockpits.

Except... when I saw them in Portland in 2001, after their new car suffered reliability and performance shortcomings, Panoz decided to "un-retire" their old car... and proceeded to win the race by 3/10ths of a second. It was an astounding victory and well-earned. Those buggers raced HARD! <-- Link to race recap. It was a thriller!

And the Panoz that persevered:

Sorry about the watermark

Yeah, old school. Like when I was young. I have three different size trays. Huge, normal, and tiny ice cubes. I bought two of the tiny size and reserve one tray for freezing cubes of grated fresh garlic.

I have a Samsung TV that has worked well for about 8 years now but have never had any Samsung appliances. But don't get me started on LG. I think the product engineers involved with their front-load washers should receive prison sentences.

I had LG problems with a front load washer also. I will one up you. Also front load dryer. Lasted about 2 years.

To those that are interested. Go back to page 9868 and post # 148018. No takers for the Etymotics that I wanted to go to a financially challanged person. Anyone that wants them, PM me. First person to PM me gets them for free. I will pay for postage to the lower 48 States. I will not ship anywhere else.

ALMS?

Here… ALMS in May 2010 at Laguna Seca. GT3 class race:

Flying Lizards - Patrick Long and Jörg Bergmeister.

We do trays too. Especially since our ice cube maker isn't connected.
