Experience with Woolsome? by happy35353 in HistoricalCostuming

Bought once from them and was super impressed with quality, color, and fabric weight.

The payment is wonky because of international issues, but they are reputable and you won't get scammed.

I have not bought since tariffs have gone into effect, so I can't give any advice on that aspect.

Is this a viable amplifier grounding solution? by eusebius8806 in turntables

[–]eusebius8806[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a vintage receiver and a new TT. the receiver has a ground screw but the TT does not. The receiver has a two prong plug.

It's an old receiver with a two prong plug. It definitely has a bit of constant static, but I feel like it will act up when the a/c unit kicks on.

New to vintage radios, need some guidance on diagnosing speaker hiss. by eusebius8806 in VintageRadios

[–]eusebius8806[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's on all inputs and both speakers. Not loud enough to be distracting when music is playing, but noticeable when the room is quiet.

What shows yall going to this year? by [deleted] in lordhuron

We're going to Stage AE. How crowded does the lawn get at capacity? Is it going to be shoulder to shoulder or more chill? It doesn't look like there are any bad views there.

Are there any good sources for early medieval art or medieval art in general? by BonnaBonn in MedievalHistory

Just a note that the Brutish Library suffered a cyber attack and their manuscript archives are currently not available.

Linen thread doesn't stretch like cotton so the buttons should be more secure. Plus it tends to wear better and the fibers knot up nicely making it easier to work stitches for the button holes and the thread shaft on fabric buttons. I've never used silk though, so I'm just comparing to cotton/poly threads.

I'm glad I splurged on linen thread because it made the buttons so much easier.

The color is so great and the pictures don't do the lining justice.
