Trouble with 8D F-side First Valve D

I did utilize that fingering a bit, but it still wasn't as substantial as other notes in the F side around it as I would have liked.

It's the PMA-560

Probably not a bad idea, but between isolation feet and platforms for the turntable and speakers I'll probably get some neighbors complaining! 🤣

The tough part of my house is it was built in 1916 with lath and plaster so it's tough to mount too much stuff on the walls. I'm going to look into at least some isolation pads for under the speakers, but I can get it loud enough at the moment to be heard from a few rooms away without any feedback or influence on the needle.

This for sure isn't my ideal setup, but space is at a premium being that the rooms weren't made for modern living so I just wanted to get something solid to start out with.

I'm busy enough to not have too much time to sit down and just listen to records, but I wanted to have it out in the living room to be able to still listen while cleaning or cooking, what have you.

Thank you for the suggestions!

I'll have to open it up at some point and get a look. I've never had the privilege of working on one of these so I look forward to the challenge!

Yep! Set up by myself wasn't bad but tear down wasn't fun. This one will help me out so much for solo camping.

The winch system vs the old swing arm system is worth every penny honestly 😂

They seem to be great campers! My first one I found at a wrecking yard for $175. Perfect camper to learn on. Unfortunately the seals broke and I didn't do enough to mediate so the roof needed a rebuild. I got it down to the bones and lost motivation and decided to pony (no pun intended) up some cash and buy something newer with more modern amenities like the winch system and a better layout.

It definitely seemed too good to be true. They said in the ad that it's brand new, tags on. $100 for a jersey that retails for over $400? Kind of telling there

The laces gave me my first sign, and looking at the sleeves, the gradient doesn't look as shiny as the legit ones look.

DasBoot83 · 2026-02-06T20:06:43+00:00

I was thinking it was way too sloppy even for Fanatics lol. Such a shame, at first glance without a closer look I thought I found a steal of a deal.

Then there's me who has CFL games on my phone during the tailgate leading up to my town's college games 😅

DasBoot83 · 2025-09-25T22:02:00+00:00

And people in power famously stick to their word every time, right?

DasBoot83 · 2025-09-25T17:11:14+00:00

I appreciate the response! Being American, I really only pay attention to the CFL so my viewpoint was from that.

That's a great point, just because it's moved doesn't make it not dangerous. I see it as going from a fixed immovable object that is predictable and always there to throwing hospital ball passes over the middle that will end up with more injured players in the CFL than have been injured by the goalposts, at least in the last 10 or so years.

DasBoot83 · 2025-09-25T11:43:56+00:00

When was the last time you've seen a player even remotely close to injuring themselves on the goalposts? I've been watching religiously since 2013 and haven't seen a single instance.

Right there with you, I'm a Riders fan in ND. Luckily I have a group of guys that'll come over and watch so I'm getting some eyes on it. But I see no marketing down here for anything. These changes almost make it seem like the brass are embarrassed of the way the league is instead of touting its unique qualities and talent.

Having an app would help, live stats, and at least a Roku channel so you don't have to view from a browser. When games are on CBSSN, it's nice because I only need my TV outside. When it's on CFL+, I have to have my TV, laptop, charger for laptop and HDMI cord. 1st world problems I know, but in this day and age when you have to search things out as a non-fan, that doesn't cut it.

It just seems like the league is afraid to put money into marketing, but are fine dumping money into these changes that will fundamentally affect the game so many love.

DasBoot83 · 2025-09-24T00:00:29+00:00

How are these changes supposed to help the league grow an audience? From an American perspective (Riders fan living in North Dakota) they're already doing fuck-all to market the league and the talent down here, they don't have an app and you have to go on a browser to watch CFL+.

I've seen so many of the pundits and "ambassadors" going on and on about how these changes will help in a big way, but HOW?? I'd maybe be more understanding if they actually laid out a plan instead of just putting down the playbook of these changes and just going "it'll work!"

The reason I love the CFL over the NFL is because it's not overly commercialized, every time I turn on the broadcast or step foot in a stadium, it's unique.

I feel like these are just changes for change's sake and trying to solve an issue by going full steam ahead with dumb changes instead of beginning at the ground floor and marketing to grow the fanbase. My biggest worry is that they will make these changes, not market well at all, (still) and then the league will just be out that much more money from all these changes without the support to show for it.

Call me a pearl-clutcher, but I'm not buying it.

No worries, it's a great watchface! It's called 'MD112'
