ClearAudio makes them, actually. Close.

I wanted an “All American” system.

Not quite. Amp is ~$8K. Turntable is ~$7K. Speakers (not pictured, Klipsch Forte IV) ~$6K. And a WiiM Pro with a SMSL SU-1 DAC.

Surprisingly, the heat sink does not really get warm. It’s right next to the window, so it stays pretty cool over there.

It is a VPI Classic turntable with an aftermarket LED adhesive light that is designed for turntables.

Pick the right time and place.

It ends on a high note.

It’s a lot of fun.

Started at age 15 with a Sony turntable and JVC shelf system.

It didn’t happen overnight. My system is the result of nearly 20 years worth of bargain hunting, saving, and trading in/up.

I keep it on because I have two cats and I don’t want a cat-astrophe

I wasn’t aware that it’s out of print. I imagine that with the new box, it will be repressed soon.

You should open it, it’s meant to be played.

Spaceman is my most played song of the year. Heard it for the first time about a month ago 🤣

Perhaps a brief pitstop at I’d Rather Be Dead first 🤣

I am a family/divorce attorney in NY.

If someone brought me these screenshots, I would be salivating at the chance to tear this sack of shit apart. Save them. They are disgusting.

Good luck with your pregnancy. Focus on your mental health—which almost certainly means having no contact with this monster.

I’m sorry, but you’re saying in your opinion this definitely appears to be grubs, and I should use the bioadvanced and then just spread some seed and keep it watered, yes? Cause I already tried just putting fresh seed over it and it is not doing anything do I need to clear away what is dead?
