I'm glad you found this enjoyable. Melody Gardot is one of favorite female singers. Not just her vocals and influence of jazz but her spirit and will to overcome being run over and having to start from scratch. She doesn't wear sunglasses to be cool. She still has a sensitivity to light, after...

Watching/listening to a youtube mini concert

Added an AppleTV and a small screen to stream in the dining room. I guess it isn't really a dining room anymore. It is just another 2-channel system listening area.

Audio is a journey. It evolves over time. Here is my system that started out home stereo and turned into a home theater. The first picture is 2002. The last picture is 2020.

I use a Logitech Bluetooth adapter in the back room. It measures 2x2 and 1" tall. I got it on Amazon for $20

There is a motor and belt that runs the capstan. There is another motor and belt that rotates a cam gear that lifts the heads/pinch rollers transport. The cam gear grease was sticky and the belt was drying out. These didn't allow the head to engage, so no music. It took several hours to take the...

I fixed this cassette deck for a friend. It is a really great deck, but way over engineered and a PIA to work on.

Today's project was replacing the fans in the NU6000 amp and painting it black. The fan noise went from 45dB to 15dB. It is quiet now and blends better with the other gear in the home theater.

True and they take up more room because they are locked in carbonite.

I love the A-10. It's a bad boy that kicks butt. My favorite is the F4 Phantom. The muscle car of the sky. It proves if you put big enough engines on a brick, it will fly.

I think the ship is built more for functionality and not for looks. It has big engines and big guns. Kind of like a space version of the A-10 Warthog.

Rose and I have started the 1st season of the original Star Trek. I think there are 23 episodes in the first season. I loved it as a child. Now it brings back memories and laughs for being campy and cheesy. Still love it.

My job is done...mic drop

The projector isn't very apparent in the picture above. I use a motorized linear actuator to drop the projector down two feet from the ceiling, when watching a movie, so the projection clears the 72" ceiling fan. The projector goes up to the ceiling, when not in use.

Here is what the system looks like when watching a movie on the drop down screen. This really shows the point of the gear being a tool and not the focus. You watch a movie. You listen to music. If you watch the gear, you're doing it wrong.

You are welcome any time. If you are ever down this way, come on by. I am always open for audio.

Klipsch Jubilee speakers are from their pro line for real movie theaters. Using the drop down screen and projector, I have my own I-Max.

Changed up the home theater today. TV: Samsung 75" (UN75NU6900FXZA) Receiver: Onkyo TX-NR929 Source: Oppo BDP-103 Power: Panamax M5400-PM Amps - main bass bins: Behringer iNUKE NU6000 Amps - main horns: Diva Seduction 2A3 Amps - sub: Behringer EP 4000 Crossover - Electrovoice...

So sad. Another music icon gone.
