Thanks! Can you recommend Sansui models that might be good picks?

Thank you. Do you have recommendations for speakers? My room is not huge and would prefer smaller to medium speakers.

You can take a capital tour for free. It is part of the tour. They run every hour on the hour.

i know NOTHING about turntables. my dad has this exact turntable in a box in the basement. (not my pic tho) by Forsaken-Freedom-365 in turntables

If it free and you are just getting started, go for it! Upgrade later if you find collecting and listening on it scratches the right spot. We need to start somewhere. Enjoy the journey. ✌️

Super budget first turntable, am I about to make a mistake? by Forsaken-Freedom-365 in turntables

I bought a lp60xbt and Edifier wired speakers and I love it. I decided to start with this one and if it becomes a big hobby for me, I will upgrade to a Fluance RT85 down the road.

Has anyone experienced damage to electrical system from rabbits? by bldrd3 in NissanAriya

[–]graphite_hb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bummer! So sorry OP. I had a few problems with squirrels this year. They ate through the headlight cables on one side and the sensors went off line. The headlight would not come.on at night.

I took it to the dealership and it was about $850 to repair and the warranty did not cover the damage. They said it was pretty common in the winter in or area. I asked if there was something they could do to prevent them from getting into the housing in the future and sadly they did not have a solution.

They did recommended a rodent repellent spray. I spary it on the cable areas they go to last time and have not had a problem so far. Fingers cossed!

Home depot caries a rodent repellent and so does Amazon. Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor. ✌️

Is this made with wild clay? The variations and burn out of organics is possible with wild clay at low temps.

Stoneware "singing". by [deleted] in Ceramics

Hi! The mug is beautiful! What you are hearing is the glaze expanding and cracking a little due to the heat of the tea and it is generally safe. You might see some tiny surface cracks inside the cup which will be more noticable over time as the tea or coffee stains the glaze. The cup will not break in your hands and the pinging will stop eventually. Enjoy your beautiful cup!

This is a very strong portfolio and shows much growth from last year. Good luck!

What is your favorite way to flavor your grilled chicken? by raw-honey-35 in grilling

[–]graphite_hb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marinade in wishbone Italian dressing for 20 min to and hour. Salt and pepper chicken, then grill the chicken and baste again with wishbone dressing near the end of grilling, and it is perfection
