Tube comparison has begun in my Vali 3, one down five to go. Test music is going through an Emotiva transport, to Gungnir, to Vali 3, to Focal Utopias I keep the room dark and I am isolated from other sounds. 68 degrees F inside and HVAC is not operating. I can repeat any track as I go through 25 music criteria. There is a silent period between tracks so I have plenty of time to record results.

Beautiful board! My two.

Very nice - and can travel. Our board is strictly for home use, it weighs about as much as a bowling ball. :)

I have 2 cribbage tables. The one I posted here and another with foldable legs. We take it camping. Nice hand? Wasn't mine. Got my ass kicked!

Very nice - cribbage tables! I think David (The Cribbage Guy) may have an example on his website, but I don't remember his as being folding.

Nice hand indeed ... 24. That's my high since we now keep track. Annette had a 28 hand (once). I've been playing for 50+ years and never saw a 29 hand. That's why we keep trying. :)

Edit: I forgot ... it's not possible to make a 25, 26 nor 27 score in a cribbage hand. Jumps straight from 24 to 28. FYI, friends.

My grandparents were from the UP and had a huge custom board in their house. They kept track of a lot of measures including crib points. Over the course of many years, they determined the average crib to be worth 2.4 points. Seems kinda low to me, but that's what grandpa told me.

BTW, our house board was based on the continuous-track Drueke design from 1950, the type I learnt to play on. Ours is larger to make room for the 2" pegs. https://www.ebay.com/itm/256440613285

My wife played some years ago and she is not interested in playing so I will not be building a board. I will stick to chess, poker, Go, rummy, and euchre for now. Oh and Scrabble lol, my wife is quite good so we have some amazing competitions there. I read years ago that games of skill are chess, Go, and poker but poker only when the stakes are high enough so you have to risk a decent amount to call.:)

I went back and looked at your board again. Very nice indeed. Did you design it? Thanks for sharing, Richard.
Cheers,
Kyle
