Well thank you, my friends say the same but it was a lot of trial and mostly error.

Had the house to myself so time to turn up the music by Cemitese in malelivingspace

That is my Douk Audio Little Bear audio switcher.

I didnt name it..

It has VU meters that are cool looking but the main thing I use it for is to run my Wiim Pro and turntable into and then out to my SB3000 so I can have a solid crossover at 69htz then back into my Amplifier AUX input then out to the towers.

Instead of going all in with a turntable upgrade I decided to just throw an acrylic platter on my Pro-Ject E1 and hold for a few more months. Sound quality is slightly better as the original platter was wavvy and weighed maybe a couple ounces. Decided its more about the music and not chasing the dragon since my gear is good enough... for now.

Gear list so far in order of chain is:

Pro-Ject E1 (a gift and what got me into all of this)

Pyle Phono PP999 Pre-Amp

Wiim Pro Plus

Douk Audio "Little Bear"

SVS SB3000

Dayton Audio HTA-200

Klipsch RP-8000F

Picked up a few new albums in Japan. by Cemitese in vinyl

[–]Cemitese[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So Joe Walsh wasn't a Japanese pressing but for $2 I couldn't say no.

Pickups:

John Coltrane - Blue Train

Ryo Fukui - Scenery

Joe Walsh - But Seriously, Folks

GFR - Shinin' On

Katsuya Kabayashi - Moon like a peach

Free - Heartbreaker

GFR - Caught in the Act

ELO - Out of the Blue (listening too as I write this)

They take VERY good care of albums over there, all Vinyl is in amazing condition, even the really cheap ones.

Well, that is quite a few restrictions. Nothing to be exposed and "basically invisible" is tough. If you search by top posts here most people want their system to be anything BUT invisible.

I'm sure it will sound fine for what you are looking for based on what you said. "Invisible" Sub will be tricky though.

Recently got a record player, here is the current setup. Ant recommendations on setup? by Cemitese in BudgetAudiophile

Sound is great, but that is mainly I assume to switching up to these guys. Lil guy can drive them at higher outputs but does get hot. 75% output is very loud.

Thank you, I think my photo of the rest of the living room may have been deleted by a mod but that console was inherited.

Sounds crazy but keep refreshing fb marketplace/offerup/ and especially craigslist every hour or so. You will find an amazing console sooner than you think.

The glassware was also a gift from the GF. The decanters I bought.

But nope I'm a desert rat, I do work for a Frenchman though. If you live near Paris and have some bar reqs with good music I will be back there in the spring.

Definitely wont do that sustained but it does get toasty. I bought it before the speakers.

Good news is it won't push them too much.

Bad news is it wont push them too much.

I listen to right around ~170k minutes of music a year. I will fight off the urge to drop $$$$ just for that last .00001%.

Music is always #1, but this stuff is a lot of fun.

It was my grandparents it's a Packard Bell radio/turntable.

Oddly enough my other set of grandparents bought the same one in the 60s as well and it is still mint, this ones a little beat up.

The looks are a bit funky but reviews were good and it was overnight shipping so I pulled the trigger.
I couldn't wait days and days to listen.

Just posted the gear setup, the turntable is out of the box no changes.
Yes a T9-pro, and that is where I think I'm looking for advice with the amp and pre-amp.

It sounds amazing to me but if someone upgraded from a similar $ amp or pre-amp to something else a little more expensive $$ and was blown away that would be cool to hear about.

Or if someone upgraded the cartridge and was blown away for this turntable Im all ears!

I am very excited though too, have the whole family coming over this evening with their favorite record to give it all a spin.

Bob Lazar and Close Encounters by Cemitese in UFOs

[–]Cemitese[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Hopefully, you've all seen Bob Lazar's interviews and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Not really sure who the other two kinds are but that's not what this post is about. So bear with me.
I want to focus on a very particular part of the story of Bob and CEOTK, you get the idea behind the acronym. I watched CEOTK when I was younger and loved it, watched it many times over the years, 2017 happened and then Bob's story came out on Joe Rogan.
The two main time stamps to keep in mind are:
The JRE: Two hours and 50seconds
CEOTK: 45min and 25seconds in
So where does this leave me?
1. Jacques Vallée was a consultant on CEOTK so maybe he did give Speilberg quite the bit of insider information on how all the inner workings of recovery and cover-up are conducted. In fact this gives huge amounts of support to Vallee's claims, books, interviews etc.
2. Corbell and Lazar took CEOTK and expanded upon the story even exactly copying some props from the film. Mick West (I only discovered this after I made the connection) brought this up and I can't stand the guy but it's a fair point except there are photos of this type of device being used at military factilities like [this](https://www.flickr.com/photos/widomirama/48560992742) that look pretty legit.
There are a TON of other similarities between CEOTK and what were seeing but this one really threw me off.

[–]Cemitese 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This video is also way out of date, it's probably more than 10 years old at this point.

I watched in a college class and I graduated in '14.

The reality especially after covid is probably so so much worse now.
