    The Bourne series was the closest to this, but not for older audiences.

  Holy shit, 'Deadwood' is coming back as a movie! Let's hope it lives up to it's past as The Best TV Show Ever!!

    Loved that series, and it was surreal rolling through modern day Deadwood 7 or 8 years ago. Cool how the town is literally backed up against a shear cliff.

    I'm a little worried about cavitation from the bubbles damaging the records. This fear is probably unfounded though because a lot of people seem to use this without any problems.

    @Cspirou yeah, I agree about the concerns, but I've researched it to the best of my limited abilities, and I think it's worth spending a few hundred bucks on to give it a shot. We'll see!

  Grayson Allen playing hero ball and choking again and again and again is a nice dash of spice for an excellent weekend recipe.

    I hope they go under, shitty company and cables. I'm not a big cable believer. Differences to my ears are subtle but i found some m400i interlink cable going from the rca's to the pot that was actually hurting sound quality in an amp i restored recently.

    “I learned that you have to click the skeleton keyhole to make the search bar appear (of course!), a detail so strange and counterintuitive that you can practically hear Young insisting on its inclusion, against the protests of his web designer.”

    I guess once you know, you know. And looking at the tutorial is a must. Which I can't presently do since I'm out of the country w/phone and tablet, and you can't access the site on mobile (???!!) Still, as a big NY fan I'm excited about the potential to access his entire body of work in "master tape" quality, whatever that is but I assume a minimum of 16/44.

  Gungnir Multibit possibly the best home audio purchase I've ever made, turned RBCD from a necessary evil to a real alternative to analog. Thanks all!

    Agreed about the odd/creepy + handy.
    
    I see they are having an auction. A bunch of weird stuff + a few kinda cool if cheap enough stuff. (34 days til auction close) This is a NOS? (faceplate is not clean) tube stereo integrated amp - High Bid $3 ATM:

  Bought a pair of inexpensive tubes from 'Changeling' on the cheap shipping/no whining plan. They were packed like they were Faberge' Eggs!
