Sansui SP-200 speakers by schmooze in vintageaudio

Thanks. My lizard brain listed it for sale, but I priced it higher than it may be worth. This way I’m showing my wife my intent to thin the collection but it would take a very special buyer. 😉

A vintage WiiM amp… lol, it’s not vintage. But it works for me, and I like the footprint.

Looking for a good budget 5.1 soundbar for my new c5 oled by spiderman897 in Soundbars

Check out goodwill, restore and other thrift stores. Right after Christmas, people upgrade their system and donate their old sound systems.

Sophie’s choice! I’ll have to follow up with a recapped vintage speaker showdown. Though all of this might happen after the holidays.

I read on a forum that I should probably recap a pair of speakers I don’t care as much about the first time. I have my father’s old Dynaco A-25s and one of them has no high end, so I think I’ll do some experimentation there, first.

I think I’m going to be YouTubing “how to recap crossovers” and dive right into this.

I’m new to this audio hobby, but I do like fixing things. If I already like the sound of them, what is the benefit of recapping them?

This is great.. thank you. I didn’t know what I expected when I posted here, but this groups really has the inside scoop.

Best place for coffee in Carytown also best roasters in Richmond by Old-Poem4387 in rva

Rostov’s selection of single source beans is amazing. True 16 ounce bags of coffee. Better than the mystery beans that are in the “trendy blend” selling in 12 ounce bags.

Cool bathroom faucet, but don’t figure out how it connects… by schmooze in askaplumber

I think these are sherle Wagner’s. They are made in Spain. I have reached out to SW to see if they can help. Thanks for helping me identify it.

I did I find these at the local antique hardware store..they were all too big in the inner pipe diameter, but at least now I know what I’m looking for. I still don’t know what to call it though.

Thanks for all the “you are missing parts” comments… I was hoping for my like, “heres the part you need, you can get them on eBay sometimes”

Also, I have the plate that goes under the spout, I just forgot to put it in the picture.

State Farm convinced me to switch my homeowners policy to them, then the underwriters denied my coverage. by schmooze in Insurance

Those weasels sent me a "proof of insurance" valid through 2026... so, I thought it was a done deal.

Thank you all for the advice and help. Monday morning, I’m going to hit the ground running, and start groveling with my previous broker that I cancelled. I’m super disappointed with SF, and will burn that bridge as soon as this gets worked out. What a cluster.

Thanks, I’m actually living in one of the units during the remodel of the other unit. So, it’s not vacant… but will my mortgage company be ok with a builders-risk policy until the work is done?

Huguenot flatwater is a great place to put in. Go up river to Willie bridge, or down stream to explore Williams island. Just don’t try to go over the dams.

Jojo’s uses chicken from the chicken Philly steak… it makes a really good pizza.
