Is that a Banjo Clock on the upper left wall wall to the left?
*Fixed the almost political phrase
Yup. A rather nice one, too (well... to me, at any rate). Branded "Tiffany" but according to my Clock Guy, made by Waltham (if memory serves). I am sitting about 15 feet from it as I type this.A family piece from Mrs. H's family. My family was more like Monkey Wards-grade stuff.
I like hifis that glow and clocks that tick.
Meanwhile, here's what it is like at our house this morning. I was sorely tempted to put this in the You're doing it wrong thread...

Re: ferro fluid in Peerless tweeter?
In the Peerless the dome/voice coil are glued to the faceplate and there are 4 oversized screw holes that allow centering of the voice coil in the magnet assembly. No tabs. No alignment pins or anything.

Re: ferro fluid in Peerless tweeter?
Nope on Danish or USA made ones. If you were to open one up just to look you could lose the voice coil positioning.

Original:
Kathy’s Song (Simon & Garfunkel)
That reminds me of another favorite cover.

Re: AXPONA April 11-13, 2025
Revox was there although I didn't buy into the sales guy saying you can record anything, including streaming audio, and it will sound better. IMO, I believe you have to buy something like an expensive Tape Project tape to get the absolute full bang out of tape. Tape project uses original masters to record onto new manufacture tape and they do sound excellent.

Re: Landman on Paramount+ Just WOW
What's Billy Bob gonna say about this?
Probably something like “…Well sh/t- how about we build a fu@kin’ refinery closer to to the source, so we don’t need a 2,700 mile long fu@kin’ pipeline…?”

Re: Can I fix a mark Levinson 33 Monoblock thread
Tape recorders use lots of relays, every time a function is selected three or more relays have to click. The relays made by Omron are very well built.
