This one was a pleasant surprise. Had not heard about - and it’s great!

I have an extensive library but streaming can be a great convenience when I am in my shop or outdoors, The quality is decent if I want to explore new music on my main system.Yep. My first favorite Islay. Been my online handle for at least 25 year now.
Yeah I hate the idea of not “owning” my library as it were as well, but now that i know it has potential to sound good… I’m gonna give it a go
Sweet! at that time I was enamored of Gerhard's designs...original Avanti...dreamingUmm, I'm going to have to vacuum and dust first...
Here's a shot of my speakers until then? My Virgo 2's that I've had since 1997.
I did a full on knob replacement on my CGE mount, with matching on the scope and pier extender… IIRC they were from “Bob’s Knobs”. Celestron orange… looked cool on my C11 (which I still have).What sweet Hell is this. I am quoting me-self? Well, reading the responses to this post I wonder if some missed the little "N" next to "Magni" on my Magni Piety. Wonderful amp. But, the Vali 3, with the headphone connection out of the way that some recommended...well I read a review and had read Jason's introduction on this forum, and it is tempting. Besides, I need something to put this crank on.
It might have, but a few years ago I bought a Celestron Orange Tube C8. (Warning! Astronomy speek.) The round stock knob to adjust the DEC setting had been replaced with this crank. This represents a 2 x diameter and then something involving pi resulting in one rotation of this crank moving the DEC setting a bunch more than the stock knob. Quite useful for that.
Judging by your reflection in the tube we may sport similar mustaches.It sounded like it needed some more break-in, so I'll be giving it some more time before proceeding and give it a fair chance. Meanwhile, enjoying a Lansdale Frankie. Ye olde battle of thecheapinexpensive tubes.
Yes, since Amarone is expensive and that the Ripasso Grossa style can be quite complex and rich for sane prices, we do a few - and it goes nicely with my cooking. The extra benefit is I get about 70% of each bottle.....Amarone is wifey’s absolut favorite… do you know of Ripasso style? I call it poor man’s Amarone…
Pretty much any Italian red of quality is awesome in our book.
Sold off my 12k vinyl/CD collection, and have maybe 50 CD's not available on stream left. Big fan of the freedom of streaming.Yep. My first favorite Islay. Been my online handle for at least 25 year now.

Fortunately much of my collection is stored on hard drives but t still maintain some records, CD’s, and reel to reel tapes. No reason to downsize maybe 60k albums on computer. I started the process maybe eight years ago. I also stream of course.Sold off my 12k vinyl/CD collection, and have maybe 50 CD's not available on stream left. Big fan of the freedom of streaming.
big fan of 'streaming' my own music from my NAS and downsizing. I have 2 different backups of my NAS contents, one off-site, so i feel confident that i won't 'lose' any musicSold off my 12k vinyl/CD collection, and have maybe 50 CD's not available on stream left.

Il Capriccio in Waltham. A favorite for me to take analysts or other visitors to (our company was just up the road).

I've been to Italy 4 times - and I have to tell these two stories:
1. In 1988 I was at Torino on business, and the first day the crew asks if I want coffee, - sure I say. They bring me into the dining area and there is a 7' x 4' monstrosity of a vending machine - ouch I think immediately of the "coffee" you get in rest areas on Rte 95 in N.J.. Well I ask for a latte, and its hands down the best coffee I had ever had up to that point - easily.
2. A few days later I was on my own for lunch, and after being amazed at the quality of every meal I had had decided to find bad food. Really. So I see this beat up gas station with a small cafe at the back - and I'm convinced it will be awful. I order a Caprese salad. It was far and away better than any I've had in the US - including stellar places like Il Capriccio in Waltham, anything in the North End, NYC, anywhere. It was $3.50.
I spend another 10 days based in Bologna in 2007, and it was beyond any other place I've been in terms of food. Trieste, Lucca, Florence, Amalfi Coast are other places I was impressed by. We've got a trip planned for Sicily, and a return to Rome in 4/26 - this June its 18 days in the UK - Bath, Cotswolds, Devon, Oxford - the food has improved greatly over the past 25 years, but, its no Italy.
Does it project porn? Asking for @Ripper2860Some friends just gave me a Rosetta Star Projector for the stereo room. OMG, I love this thing!
