  1. Found this one at an estate sale last year. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  2. The Library will be built and it will be exactly like one of those Creationist Museums. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  3. Late 80s when I bought this. Didn’t really know what it was just that it was cheap and cool looking. Not sure if vintage audio was a thing back then. Soon after I bought a new Adcom GFA 555 and GFP preamp along with Polk SDA speakers. Very good times in Denton back then. Buddy owned a bar just off campus near Fouts Field.

  4. The 9500 was the most manly looking integrated ever. Big heat sinks on the back and inputs on the sides, which was pretty handy. Only thing I didn’t like was the stepped volume pot. I was running big very efficient speakers and seemed like it was either too loud or not loud enough. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  5. It was ages ago so I assumed it wasn’t there anymore but I was wrong. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  6. Early (1959?) Scott 299 I bought at a pawn shop in Denton. It was serviced in 1965 according to a sticker inside. Not sure if it has been touched since. Damn thing still works and sounds superb. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  7. I had an SA-9500. Still have the matching TX-9500 tuner laying around. Loved the amp but it developed a buzz that drove my Tech nuts. He finally gave up and gave me sweet Holfi power amp in trade. I use a Marantz 2245 in my den and have 2230 sitting around. IMHO for value, aesthetics and sound quality the 30,45 and 70 are the sweet spot for vintage Marantz receivers. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  8. Online registration in Frisco was a clusterfuck. They set a time when it would open and 75,000 people apparently tried to register at once. The next day they just gave a general time and then announced when it would open via email. Still fucked up. If you were lucky enough to get through getting the shot was a piece of cake. 30 to 45 minutes to get the shot and your second dose scheduled. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  9. Denton County got something like 30k doses at the end of the month. Weren’t they the ones doing the TMS drive through? We registered over a month ago and have never received anything from them. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  10. That was my take. Not interested after watching first episode. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. It just opened about a year ago. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  12. Wife’s nut job cousin and husband stopped by here on their way from Cali to Austin. This is the only thing they wanted to visit in D/FW. Wife was a good host and went with. Told them I had to wash my hair and couldn’t make it. https://discoverycenter.icr.org/things-to-do Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  13. Bought this Aragon preamp from Audiogon for my main system. My power amp needs a low impedance output and they can be hard to find. Also has basic remote functions, which is all I need. I preferred Audiokarma because there were more enthusiasts an fewer flippers. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  14. I’m pretty much set so I haven’t been in buying/trading mode in a while. In the past I’ve used Craigslist Facebook marketplace US Audio mart Audiogon Audiokarma eBay EstateSales Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  15. Finally got scheduled in Collin County. Frisco got some doses and you were to schedule online beginning at 3pm for the next day. Shit was completely borked at 3. Saying no openings, errors on your form, unknown address etc. Website finally said sorry, we realize shits borked and we be trying to fix it. Kept refreshing periodically and at 8:30, BOOM! Got through and scheduled at same time for me and wife. Did not even have to send boob pics. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  16. You talking about, Receiver/amp Turntable/cartridge Phono Preamp Tape deck, cassette? Speakers Cables ? Might be tough if you want good quality. I would consider used stuff. Audio nuts are constantly upgrading and selling their “old” stuff. I have three quality two channel systems and only have one piece I bought new. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  17. My audiophile type friends are using Aris BluMe or iFi Zen blue on their existing systems. The ones I heard sound pretty good. I will stream if listening to background music but not when “serious” listening. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  18. If you get a new receiver be aware that many don’t come with a phono preamp needed for a turntable anymore. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  19. Having hell getting vaxed in Collin County. Signed up for every nearby county and nothing. Have boob pics. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  21. Italian Wedding Soup 1/2 lb of ground beef 1/4 cup bread crumbs Italian Seasoning Olive oil 1 can Cannellini Beans (drained & rinsed) 2 cans low sodium chicken broth 1/2 cup chopped onions 1/4 cup chopped celery 1/4 cup chopped carrot (optional) 1 chopped clove of garlic 8 oz package of spinach 1/4th cup of Orzo (I use Delallo brand - it's made in Italy and the flour they use there seems to make soup creamier) Shredded Parmesan cheese for garnish Make meatballs by mixing ground beef, bread crumbs and about 1/2-1 tsp of Italian Seasoning. Form into the size of a marble. Cook onions, celery and carrot in olive oil until done. Then add garlic until fragrant Add chicken broth then bring to boil. The follow directions on pasta. While cooking veggies, saute meatballs in a bit of olive oil until browned. Once pasta cooked, add cooked meatballs, beans and spinach to soup. Once spinach is wilted, soup should be ready.Top with shredded parmesan cheese. Actually not the “classic” recipe. My wife came up with this. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  22. My only attempt at developing. B&W shot with a cheap Nikon 35mm. Developed in my guest bathroom. Was going for a Smokey antique look. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
