Just left Roger a VM...told him to get on it and close it up.





I swear i was coming on here to say something lit a fire up his arse!
Been slammed at the office and this was the first I've looked since my last post. Gonna do audioquest for the cables b/c they had some better versions in closeouts. Got good deals on them.

Vandys: apparently are bi-wire now
Cables: audioquest rocket 33s, only have bananas (he is gonna have them put spades on the speaker end at their store (no charge), the bananas will work in the vena
Interconnects: audioquest king cobra

Appreciate it Marco!

Oh, he threw in the stands as well!

Late mellow spin...just killed a bottle of Decoy (on sale at Rouses for $19.99 right now!)...Happy Mardi Gras!



Milo Greene (self-titled...autographs from the OEJ show last year)...2012 Chop Shop/Atlantic records

This is the album I spun on trains on both our Europe trips to catch a few minutes of sleep before a new adventure. Amazing how music can take you to a specific place and time...

Ol footloose. Ha

Hey man, do I need to get a good power conditioner/strip? i say good and it's probably more along the lines of decent.

I see you can get the "strips" or they have the better ones which are sort of the size of an amp.

I have one of These Furman power conditioners in a smaller system. I believe it ran $350 or so. Check their site under Home Theater Power and Compact Power. The Compact Power line will probably be in the $200 range for 6 outlets. They are 15 Amp models...you don't need a 20 amp conditioner for your use.

You can also get 15-20% off of Furman if you get it from a larger distributor--they are a big player in the pro audio world. Their gear is well built and solid performers.

Here it is at Audio Advisor...$399...but you can probably get it for $350. They carry a few lesser models as well.

The Furman PST-6...6 outlets....$99 (a couple fewer features than the "8"--not just 2 fewer outlets for $100 less)

Does anyone here know the rough cost of replacing a capacitor on an older model Scott 480A integrated amp?

The protection light will not go off, so this is what I believe is wrong with it.

...or if it's even worth fixing?

A simple capacitor like any of these? If you're a Diy guy and have a soldering iron, it can be done for a couple of bucks and about 10 minutes worth of work.

That's too bad, soldering is pretty easy and an entry level iron can be had cheap. It's a good skill to learn and can save you a ton of money.

I know it looks like hammered shite right now, but I'll get it cleaned up this weekend.
Everything is playing and it's my first official vinyl play. I have others, but isbell was on the top so he goes first
