Best Of
I'm out on Valentines day and the surround time around it.
Allow me to explain.
Last year I was loading a 77 inch OLED Sony TV onto our van off our loading dock. My Partner pulled it a bit to fast before I could get my hand in the hand slot to carry it. It fell off the dock and I tried to catch it with the other hand and ripped my bicep clean off the bone, I had to have surgery and I was out of work for 6 months last year.
So this year , as a wire nut as most of you know but this time it was professional wiring. A guy on Facebook market place was selling an unused Dadario Mini Pedalboard wire kit. This allows you to build your own cables for your guitar pedal board . It's a solder less design which I already use them now. I have a full Dadario pedalboard wired with Dadario cables I built all myself . I don't need this kit but at the price he was selling a brand new un used kit was excellent and I was just going to go get it. Well I jumped in my SRT Durango which I don't drive daily just when I want to , I was on my way to meeting him and I saw smoke out the back of the truck mores than just cold weather exhaust. Then on the hood, it has a SRT hood with vents and there was smoke coming out the vents. So l was just about to pass Advanced Auto Parts store and I pulled into their parking lot to see what the hell, I didn't drive through a puddle or anything why is it smoking??
Well I Poppe the hood and there was antifreeze coming from the drivers side low to back of the engine area. I couldn't see the actual leak but it was enough to drain the coolant overflow tank. So I went into he Parts store, picked up ready to use coolant for Mopars and filled the overflow tank back up. I noticed the radiator cap was semi cool, which means no pressure. So I opened it and it was low there 2. So I filled it with the remaining coolant I had in the gallon and closed it up. Started the truck and still couldn't find the leak but it was leaking. So I turned it off. Called for a tow truck and had it flat bedded to my dealership.
In the meantime I called the guy who I was trying to buy the cable kit from and explained why I wasn't coming.
I have a 7year 100k mile warranty from Dodge and another overlapping warranty to cover Anything the Dodge warranty doesn't . So I don't have to pay for the repairs but I did have to pay fro the towing , cost me $200 bucks $180 plus I tipped the driver $20 for taking such care of my Truck. He said he transports a lot of high end cars and using cloth straps and even onto hooks , they have these covers so they don't scratch anything even on the suspension or underside of the vehicle. They do a lot of classics as well and he knows how car guys are with their cars and they take extra care when towing or transporting anyones ride. I really appreciated that so I gave him a nice tip. It was only a 15 minute ride to the dealership and even there, he took really good care of my ride putting it into a spot where I wasn't going to get a door ding . That's pretty damn good.
But this is the second time I had something bad go on around or on Valentines day so I told my wife next year I'm staying home, don't bother to decorate the house, we are not celebrating the day and I'm staying out of harms way the best I can.

Why does my amplifier cause one speaker to softly f@rt (puff sound) after I turn it off?
The right channel of my Perreaux PMF1850 amp, after I power it off, will cause the right speaker to make a series of five soft puffing sounds that get softer in intensity for the ten to twelve seconds they last. Preamp is turned on first and off last. The speakers are KEF 104/2 and this amp is the best match for them that I’ve found. Only the right channel does this phenomenon, the left speaker is silent. Amplifier does not have relay protection for the speaker terminals.

Re: Death to The Music Room....
I’ve been avoiding this thread but agree with most that TMR has provided both me and my dad great service and convenience. We have bought, sold and traded a number of components. I would be nervous to add up the dollar amount we have cycled thru that place. And I have direct contact information to a sales associate that we have worked with for years.

Re: Refurbishing 7C
Look closely at the original drawing. The original 7c had a fuse and was removed. The resistor was changed from 2.7 ohms to 2 ohms. capacitor values match exactly. So mine is probably a very short run of orignial 7c's . You're probably used to seeing the other revisions. So yeah it is a 7c.

Re: Refurbishing 7C
Yes they are. I purchased them from The listening Room in scarsdale NY brand new in box. ~7 hundred dollars. I personally opened the factory sealed polk audio box myself.

Re: Refreshing my RTA 15TLs
Zero speaker mods, unless I would possibly upgrade the internal wiring.
I'd like to add a dedicated streamer at some point, but the budget for 2-channel stuff isn't there at the moment. So, the MacBook Pro to the DAC will have to get me by a while longer.

He started a thread on Audiogon about The Music Room also. He received the same type of comments there also.

Re: Hana Cartridges
A couple years ago, I was very interested in the Hana ML cartridge, too. At the time, I read a few reviews that mentioned suspension failure issues, so I decided to go with the Audio-Technica ART9XA cartridge instead. I'd suspect that this issue should have been resolved by now.
