I believe it's Tandberg vintage. https://www.audiogon.com/products/tandberg-tpa-3006a

My theory is a Fatberg brought back from the future by Hooncake

You never had the Hooniberg experience I see.

Ooof, right in the childhood... well, the latter half anyway. Incidentally, I remember things from when I was 5 better than when I was 15.

@yotacowboy you’re describing my freshman year of college perfectly

So I glance through profile posts and see this one ... and think to myself "I don't remember the 2N311 transistor". I remember 2N35, 2N107, 2N170, I experimented with those. Turns out it was a low production run and now very rare PNP germanium. Then it hits me you are talking about an album. Geek head brain fart.

track? yet can't be as good as Honcho Overload or Bad Flannel right? ;-)

Just saw this now, I swear that Chicago/Urbana music scene was nuts in the early 90's.

so right man! late 80s: Didjits and Bad Flannel locally ruled. plus Naked Raygun, Big Black plus Touch&Go in the chicago scene.

To be fair, we didn't know that Drop is going to be Droping a price on a new Drop THX amp, I guess due to being called Drop.

Wow: Estimated ship date is Mar 5, 2021 PT.

Maybe they've learned from over promising and under delivering deadline wise and are being conservative.

March 5th, 2021? Are they taking crazy pills?

I'm hearing a lot more of the MBV influence, which is a little more "sorted" than the more Zeppelin-esque hazy-psychedelic stuff of their prior albums. Might not age as well as You'd Prefer... but this is nostalgia, so who cares. The chop on the drums is fucking sweet.

I'm really digging it after resetting my DiH-burdened expectations. Was blindsided by this, and it's also the heaviest album I've heard this year. Low end on this mix just caves your head in.

remaster

My bad, I thought you were referring to a band "The Colour and the City" I'm tired and trying to multitask

Dave Grohl continues to impress. If you have not watched Sound City or Sonic Highways I highly recommend it.

I’m not usually into hard rock but Dave Grohl is a seriously talented dude

Give me free money from the IRS. I need to buy a new amp.

rescued BF2?

explicit: i went into my office under lockdown (COVID+ protests) and retrieved BF2 and Asgard3 so I could listen with Australis, Combo should be added to Synergy thread.

Don’t forget about all Of that beer

Lets share the same avatar. Use mine. I got the idea from your jizz posts.

I've got her completely disassembled. Parts order is in. Should only be a few hours to reassemble, test, and "season". I bought a replacement Silvia V4 because I was worried I'd need a new boiler (~$300).

But once I got the old Silvia V3 all pulled apart I was super happy to find it only needed a new boiler gasket and over pressure valve gasket (and some other "while you're in there" stuff). I'll post it up for sale once she's back to health and I've pulled some shots.

I'm still using my bro-in-law's 15 yo hand-me-down V1 I dragged across the Pacific a few years ago. I don't think it's had anything done to it than regular cleaning and descaling.

40% of the reason to buy Scanspeak drivers are because of the cool looking anti-breakup mode coatings

If I get it back up and running, I'll probs post it up F/S for pretty cheap, for SBAF espresso Padawans.

I'm just starting with espresso, and I know there's a thread but: how much do you recommend spending on a grinder, in general? I'm looking at getting this exact machine. Particular model give you good results?

For a solid mid-grade grinder I'd highly recommend Baratza Vario. I've had mine for as long as I had Miss Silvia.

Wow - that's kinda genius...

I dig it, wonder how well it fits other cars.

if its recent VAG vehicle, there's good likelihood. So USDM: VW, Audi, Porsche, Bentley (but probs not), Lamborghini.

Put down the pipe.

So, it's not a perfect day then? :P

Mmmmm, Butt.

Hey, cheap (:P) but competent solid state is always a pleasure, especially considering I might be running out of tubes for the sunrise with no way to replenish in lockdown haha.

Then again I have to wait for lockdown to lift before you can post the thing. Argh.

Doh! Looks like they discontinued it: https://www.amazon.com/Etymotic-Research-ETY-Kids5-Safe-Listening-Earphones/dp/B005TOV0OM
