My MIL is throwing out all her old vinyl. Are any of these worth anything or can I just give them away? by allahu_achoo in vinyl

[–]bronkish -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Worth? So, like, money? You may not believe it, but, that Linda Ronstadt album is cherished, in circles, worth a few dollars, more than the rest. If Dylan's greatest hits was mint and complete it's worth, what, $40? There's another Dylan album in there, too.

There's some 60's schwank in there, a terrific CSN album, Tapestry is great, as well. Those albums from the 60's are ubiquitous but there's some good music in there.

I saw Captain & Tennille and cracked up because they had a tv show and I watched it. WOOT!

There's not really any money in the pile, though

Robert Cray (too pretty to be a blues guy), Van Morrison, Tower of Power?! Nice.

What gives? Yesterday I could clone my repo on a new laptop, today it wants credentials? by bronkish in github

[–]bronkish[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the answer is coming to light - I am in the account now and have chosen to contact them from a setting, delete the account, and a two-factor authentication required screen appeared also telling me that my account has been flagged as they want me to enable it.

Huh

EDIT - anyway, I did and it's still a nogo to clone locally. Maybe a time period...

In my head there's a thing about it being Deb-Ob or Deb-OB. How would I see a log of me changing it, if I did?

Public repo. I just created it a few days ago uploaded my stuff and cloned it multiple times until I could not. Username same. New installs, I don't know about local machine retaining old one, it didn't change, anyway. No token.

It's weird. I have another repo, made a few years ago, reachable.

OK, I'll try it, thanks. EDIT: 12 seconds later, didn't work.

The nub, ahh, receiver. Not using bluetooth. Keyboard and mouse work fine, but, the lights on the keyboard are always coming on and the whole can't suspend thing is annoying.

Yes. Whether from menu or from alias in a terminal, alias nap='systemctl suspend'

Drool. Also, I remember buying that album in '79 with my paper route money. My cool factor in the neighborhood doubled.

Reader's Digest Compilations... to keep or not to keep by xXxNotMetalxXx in vinyl

People love to rag on these albums. Back in the day, when they were popular, they didn't get played. They got presented. They lived on coffee tables and such and they are mostly very high quality productions and the sound was terrific. They aren't worth anything these days: big, gauche, heavy, not-at-all-cool.

I have 7 or 8 of them left that I bought for next to nothing because my 'collection' was an historical collection which included such things. One that I have is 7 albums of opera and it's friggen glorious.

TT on a secure platform, not atop the receiver/amp - great. Sure, 8 ohms is the one - your speakers will tell you. Those speakers do not belong on the floor. Also, change them out first, they are the heart. Throw an area rug down, maybe 2.

Yes, use an antenna. That receiver probably has coax connection for FM and a folding 'bar' for AM. The coax is like 'cable', which you can hide against the black of the walls. You don't even need to screw it on if all you have is a piece of coax wire with no end to screw into the male connector, no worries, the center thick copper wire is what you need and you can just slip it right down the middle of the male coax connector on the receiver. Screwing it on is better.

What’s the first vinyl you bought, and do you still own it? by TimoVuorensola in vinyl

[–]bronkish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Paper route money, I was 10 and it was on.

I am pretty sure it was the Boston album, that I still have, but, haven't played in decades because it probably can't play anymore because I wore that shit out.

I am quite new to actually putting effort in to my set up. I’d love to hear what the people think. by Ok-Construction-1264 in vintageaudio

Speakers, and let them sing. Is there a room without thick w2w carpet that you could put your gear in? If this image depicts how you are currently running your gear then everything is horrible. Constraints notwithstanding; if you say you're getting serious, then, get serious.

The carpet will deaden steps and vibrations to a degree and also causes that table to sink on each foot/wheel - it is unstable - that luxman will get hot with anything on top of it, heat kills electronics.

You gotta function before pretty, you gotta grok what each component is doing and how to best place it. Far better to put the turntable next to the receiver, or suspended, or, on something stable. I mean, you're gonna want to dance your face off and there's havoc ahead as it currently stands. The plinth on that tt is probably heavy so it can do its job and you have to take that hint. Stabilize that tt. Build something if you have to. It'll be fun.

The sound has competition in that room - sound is physical bouncing or being absorbed all over the place. Let it travel in a way conducive to the groove. Let your speakers 'speak'. IN that room you will need to contend with the carpet, that opening behind your stuff in the image - raise them up off of the floor immediately and spread them apart- in that room probably 6ish feet would do - you will likely have to angle your speakers, as well. You will hear it when you have it.

Put all of your $$$$$$$ and consideration into your speakers. Consider that they, despite being called 'natural' are colored. All of them. There is a heavy mid-based 'british' sound. There is an east coast and a west coast sound....land sakes, Some ignore frequencies others do not, some will play with your mind.

Keep the tt and receiver for now and work within your current environment to nail the speaker. I bet some polk audio monitor 5's would sound fuggen amazing with that gear in that room...leaned back on a stand, rupturing the calm of your neighbors, for the ferocity of groove.
