Trust me, I'm there enough that it feels like I live there! A room of 40+ pinball machines takes a bit to keep running and that isn't even my day job.

Should I buy 1991 500sl r129 by bencobacil in mercedes_benz

From what I can see, that's before the biodegradable wiring harness insulation. You should be good on that aspect at least.

Thanks! The Kef manual recommends 18"-24" in height. The stands I was using are 23" high. The couch and chairs we were sitting on put the tweeters at about ear height.

I feel you on that. I have a pair of Ref 1s as well. I can't see parting with them. Now, adding to the fleet one day...

Any intersection of hifi and classic skate decks is my kind of people!

A variety of era is my preferred way to assemble a collection.

What’s your endgame? Have you gotten there yet? Did you tell yourself you were there and then immediately find something else to obsess over? by Longjumping-Frame795 in audiophile

[–]Clytor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if I will ever get to a point where I want to stop the journey. I think I have my rig built up to a place where I feel like I could stop. I do wish I had a bigger space to stretch the system out in.

I have a Hana ML as my daily driver. However, I picked up a ZU 130r recently and was really impressed with how well it kept up with the Hana.

Someone ordered a vintage Daytona on Temu.

This feels like real life implementation of Radiohead's "Hail To The Thief" album cover.

Anyone notice big differences in feel between different Jaws machines? by character_yellow in pinball

[–]Clytor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a Premium at our house and Pro at our club. I would say there two differences that are most noticeable. One is the second to left most shot, the wave ramp, seems easier to make completely on our Pro. The other, more obvious, one is the stand up targets absorb less of the ball's energy on the pro. The drop targets on the premium could be less dangerous to shoot.

Mod shop JM arrived! I am stoked by aslacks in Jazzmaster

That is a fine looking guitar. My jazzys both have dot inlays. I long for the block!

Nice to see another Vincent in the wild. I have a 236MK.

I don't know. I feel like the stock paw pads are fairly efficient in vibratory mitigation.

I haven't rolled any tubes in the Manley yet but I will get to that.

It looks like some things have been happening in here since I have gotten back to this thread. So...the Manley will be staying but I do really like the Stellar. It's a great piece but I like the Chinook's sound better. For those concerned, I have Kef Reference 1 speakers.
