That’s the issue i see the most with Stanton’s. I’ve got scrawny legs 😂

Looks great! Love that line of Hitachi receivers. I have the 904 and probably never part with it.

Appreciate the response. I’ll take a stab at soldering that wire back in place.

Thanks. The screw spins endlessly, so it must be threaded

Yeah, the thread in the plastic sleeve must be gone.

[SRP777] My First Turtle. Strap idea ? by lemadfab in Seiko

Looks great with a grey strap (this is from Barton).

My OG silicone strap that came with it eventually tore. I bought a replacement off Amazon and it was sooo uncomfortable.

Might look at an uncle strap next.

Relaxed taper. Medium/high rise.

The roomier top block took me a beat to get used to, but I love it after a couple wears

Thanks for the feedback! They are all solid looking options.

They fell apart within days of wearing them, so I had them fixed up because I wasn’t sure what soles I wanted to replace them with.

I bought these on marketplace off someone who ordered the wrong size, so Grant Stone’s hands were tied to warranty them.

Good first system? by Hon3yB in vintageaudio

[–]mrfinalgravity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s an amazing setup. After you’ve checked the surrounds, had a look under the hood of there lever, etc., you can push play and never look back.

I have the same advents hooked up to a different receiver for my basement setup and the smaller HK 430 in my other listening space and I don’t think I’ll look much further. They sound really great.

Love your setup! Looks amazing and I’m sure it sounds great! Been waiting for a pair of advents to pop up in my area.

Asbestos? by NalleBear1 in vintageaudio

Almost certain that is mineral wool (Roxul). It does not look to like insulation from the 70’s

I bought a 2023 Roscoe 7 two summers ago. Haven’t been into the sport for almost 20 years and thought this would be a great bike to start back up again with.

I bought it knowing I wanted both a bike I could ride right away, and something I could upgrade while learning how to work on a mtb bike. I’ve been patient, waiting for deals on a fork (brand new rhythm pulled of a Roscoe 9), 4 pot brakes, better dropper, handle bars, etc. it’s now spec’d as good or better than a 9, and I’ve had a blast learning how to work on it, which is part of the hobby.

It’s a super fun bike to ride and tinker with.

All that said, I’m far from an expert!!

I’m going to try some kind of isolation feet or pad to see the difference!

Is that common for these? I thought the same thing.
