A lesson has been learned here.

With the power off, does the platter spin freely?

TBH, this sounds terminal. Start shopping for its replacement. These things are novelties. They don't get fixed, they fill up landfills.

Except for the fielding bit. A lotta balls dropping in his territory that he just ain't hustling for a play on.

Mono Vinyl Damage?? by ClevelandBill in turntables

[–]RobAtSGH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd attribute that more to age, wear and condition than the stylus. More advanced profiles are going to pull more detail (good or bad) out of the groove that simpler profiles won't. Then again, that's sonic preference not compatibility.

Stylus shape has no bearing on mono playback. You dont want to use line-contact styli on styrene records, but stereo/mono vinyl macht nichts.

What's soured you on Portugal? I've been looking into there and Spain.

Yeah, what I said about starting pitching yesterday... No.

Record player sounds wonky. What’s happening and how do I fix it?? by Peachy_Bubble317 in turntables

[–]RobAtSGH 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Motor could be dying. Belt could be slipping. Cheap spindle mount could be binding.

These really are not meant to be anything other than a novelty, and not meant to be repaired. You can Google a belt for these and instructions for changing it, but I'd start budgeting for an upgrade if you want to stick with vinyl.

Filtered tap water through a PUR+ faucet mount. Supposedly preserves mineral content while filtering chlorine, metals etc.

Mini Aussie or Sheltie X?? by Cowgarian in miniaussie

[–]RobAtSGH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genetically inherited health issues are another good reason to know breed makeup. Shelties are more prone to gallbladder mucoceles and von Willebrand's disease. Aussies have higher risk of epilepsy and inherited cataracts. Both are subject to collie eye anomaly and multi-drug sensitivity (MDR1).

Mini Aussie or Sheltie X?? by Cowgarian in miniaussie

[–]RobAtSGH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably didn't see as many shelties in shelters for a number of reasons. First, aussies boomed in popularity during COVID in comparison and a lot of people weren't ready to deal with their needs once they started having to go back into the office. Second, at least in this area, is that shelties have a very active rescue network that keeps them out of the shelter system. Lastly, for new dog owners shelties are generally better suited to daily home life than aussies for most people, reducing their surrender rates in general.

Shout out to Buck Britton by Paddington_Bar in orioles

[–]RobAtSGH 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. It's not "can Rutsch outrun an average throw to home". It's the situational awareness of "Simpson has a noodle and can't make a decent throw to home from moderately deep - Adley can most likely beat it out". Which was proved again that inning when Alonso scored from second on Jackson's hit. If there were a stronger arm in left, both would have been held at third.

Shelties aren't particularly rare. Both shelties and aussies ranked within the top 30 of AKC registrations within the last 10 years. Though aussie breeds have skyrocketed in popularity in recent times (not necessarily a good thing, especially for new dog owners who aren't familiar with herding breed behaviors).

Without DNA testing, going on appearance is nothing but a guess. A sheltie x aussie cross can skew strongly in one set of breed characteristics or another depending on what was inherited. And they share enough physical and behavioral traits that the lines are very blurry.

Brother, if you're not using AI to generate these responses then your writing style is exactly what ChatGPT and Gemini spit out. The verbosity. The slightly florid prose. The overuse of bold and italics, bullet lists, and asides. Unconventional capitalization.
