That dude is freaking awesome!! I use to play trumpet when I was in my high School band and of course I'm a big fan of him! Thanks for posting that!

Taylormade M3 hybrid golf club. I tend to pull/ hook hybrids and this is adjustable and online reviews say that this club fixed that problem. So this works or I give up on hybrids.

Visited another used record store , got these!
The Cugat record was originally released in 1961, this is probably a late '70s era reprint.
Will re-visit that store, "The War Years" CD (tunes from the WW2 era) may have a companion disc , got it from their "dollar bin".

Bought a Kanto SYD speaker for my wife off of Amazon. Our little Bose Bluetooth speaker died after about ~5 years and she didn't want an AVR in the living room or any big speakers. I must say, this little speaker is pretty impressive. Very good sound, lots of bass and it gets pretty loud. It has some options for connectivity as well, and I'm planning on expanding it for her with a subwoofer and some satellite speakers. Wife is happy, and that's the important thing.

D4 SQL-15 Subwoofer Drivers

And a very special shout out to Nick at Stereo Integrity. He has been an excellent resource and diligent business owner. My original order from him, he could have easily upsold me to a different product in his lineup, but when he heard what I was doing, he targeted what product was right for me. He has now on several occasions taken calls from me to answer questions and give me the support every small business should give their customers.

Once delivered, I will have SIX of the drivers...

Now I need to shop for some AMPS!

I've just perused the specs on those drivers.

Have you noticed that with the sensitivity, they specify 1 ohm. Do you know what they mean by that? I just hope that their impedance doesn't dip to only 1 ohm, otherwise you would have to connect 2 such drivers in series to be able to drive them, with a solid power amp that is designed to handle 2 ohm loads. Either a Crown or a QSC amp would do the job anyway.

My first vinyl purchase in over 35 years! @afterlife2 tempted me with a different album, which led me to finding this one.

TOOL: Undertow for about 20 bucks on Amazon. I used accumulated points and got it for 5 bucks. I finally have an ep for my tt!

The recommendation from Nick, the designer and owner of Stereo Integrity, is to run the VCs paralleled. I am looking at doing that on a single amp channel per driver.
I am exclusively looking at Amps capable of delivering power on 2 ohm loads... So Crown has been the top of my list so far, also Speaker Power (much more expensive than even the XTI 4002), and others...
Behringer would be nice to experiment with, but I see actual power numbers all over the place on their gear while the 3000 and 6000 numbers are actually peak that may never even be truly realistic.
I have looked at QSC, and Nick recommended Crest for consideration.

Right now I'm leaning heavily toward that XTI 4002 in hopes that it will have a greater capacitance bank than the XLS 2502.

Frankly, I'd like to have an Amp capable of 2000w per channel into 2 ohms, but at that point, I really need to just buck up for the Speaker Power Amps (which are built specifically for FR down to 5Hz and are supposed to sustain output for 10seconds before rolling off slightly to recover where most other amps might not give you 5 seconds of sustain before rolling off by 6-10 dB!).

The Crown seems to be about the only amp in its price range. The QSC RMX 5050a is a slightly more powerful amp and will give you up to 2500 watts/ch at 2 ohms, but its price runs around 2 grand. It would be good to be able to compare their real low frequency response below 20 Hz.

The QSC would definitely require a dedicated 20 amp circuit while a 15 amp line should be sufficient for the Crown. Perhaps you could contact QSC customer service and I'm sure they would be pleased to give you further details on their product's FR. Please let me know how it went should you communicate with them.

I can at least practice putting in the Florida rainy days.

Back to the store on Sunday!

The "Jackie Gleason Music For Lovers Only" is two 7" 45 RPM EP gatefold set, 8 tunes. Back in the 1950's they were marketing mini-albums that way.

"Jackie Gleason Plays Romantic Jazz" 7" 45 RPM ( 4 tunes on one disc) is disc 4 of a set, strange the store did not have the rest of the set.

Henry Mancini is two tunes from the 1960 TV series "Mr. Lucky"

Kidding! Seems like most of us have been out of the vinyl business for a while. Let us know how it sounds!

Why are you using the A4A to dry out your baggies of weed? (top picture)

Lol!! Man if I wasn't as old as I am I get me some reefer!! But smoking has taking a toll on my old lungs. I waited a long time for them numbnut lawmakers to finally decriminalizing legalize it and now I can't smoke it. Oh but I did smoke my share and somebody else's back in the day.

Yeah Chris, edibles! Thanks for the tip bro. I believe @CajunLB uses edibles.

I picked up 7 new sealed TDK SA-90 chrome tapes for under $7.00 a piece.

New as in recently manufactured ? Or NOS and how old would they be? Just curious....

I bought this last week, albeit cheaper than it is now.

finally get a cup holder/usb charger and something that will support my entire leg length (based on reviews). I’m 5’9” suspect I’ll be good.

my current recliner is comfy but doesn’t offer cup holder, USB port , and leg recliner doesn’t support my entire leg length, which has been kinda uncomfortable since I’ve had it as I have to cross and tuck my legs in.

I think my setup is almost complete now (just really want a 4K OLED tv).


I wish somehow I could get paid to hang out in my home theater room.

Robot or human?
