Typical bee colony has like 50,000 bees.
There's a video out there wher she took up a couple of 4'x8' sheets of plywood in a shed and handled like a million+ bees.
....without a suit 😲😳

Re: Got the turntable itch
Gotcha on the timeframe and details. Really insightful info across the board.
Still though - interesting that the Mofi won out for you at that time. Yeah, I was thinking possibly the cart on the Technics as I was reading through before I got to the part where you mentioned it.
I will say, though, that after reading up on the UltraDeck, there are some really neat design refinements in that table that put it above those like the lower/mid level Pro-ject Debut Carbon type tables, which itself is a pretty decent setup, if not light and slight imho. I prefer more heft in a turntable.
I go back and forth between Technics-love, and the simplicity of the "audiophile turntable" builds. You know, that type of build? - Simple MDF plinth, nearly just the absolute bare essentials for starters. I have a Pro-ject Debut Carbon with Orto Red on long-term loan that's nice for a change. It has the acrylic platter upgrade, as well as the Speedbox. I use a Fluance platter mat with it, and had not had a chance to try it with the Wayne's Edge Clamp; might be too heavy for that light of a build and its belt drive.
I returned to the Technics, preferring it overall, now, as I've chosen it for the baseline for modding/accessorizing, so it's more involving for me. Still have some things I'd like to do with the 1200/1210 platform.
I used to hate those audiophile-simple tables, but they grew on me quite a bit after getting the Pro-ject running. I should give it another shot for comparison. My system's evolved quite a bit since I last used it.

Lol, well I'll be 77 this year, but I saw the NK photo earlier this afternoon on one of those IMDB "stars when they were younger" photo collections.

Re: Got the turntable itch
So, couple thoughts here……no experience with the MoFi decks but have heard nothing but good things…..
That said, I’ve never been a DD turntable guy……I’ve played around with a couple older Denon’s, high cool factor but just never struck my fancy.
The older AR turntables just sound good. Way better than they should and are relatively unfussy and plentifuI. What I don’t like is setting up cartridges on an AR.
I have had a VPI Scoutmaster for about 15 years and am a big fan of the Scout series….what I like is that it’s the one thing I have never had the desire to upgrade.
Rega, makes an eminently simple and musical deck. I’ve had a P1, P3 and have a tricked out P6 in the living room. Groovetracer makes some great aftermarket upgrades that give more audiophile satisfaction….better treble extension, better bass and so forth but, man, nothing carries a tune like a Rega. If I were looking for a table to grow with….this is the route I would go.
Just my .02

IMO the "How's Your Day Honey" lady is doing it wrong (no bee suit ?)

Re: Question about harmony hub based remotes….
IIRC, Some of the Harmony Hub setup requires you to connect it to the PC via USB to download firmware before you can use the phone app.

Re: Bad Christmas for Me
It’s Sensorineural. It’s an inner ear problem, not conductive.
I am getting appropriate treatment from my ENT experts. Will have an MRI later this month to rule out anything else. The fact is I was sick when this came about, so the doctors are initially leaning towards a viral infection that reached my inner ear
@smartie_panta
I appreciate the word of encouragement. A little glimmer of hope really matters a lot. Understanding what your wife went through, I am sure she is incredibly relieved that a large majority of her hearing came back! I’d sign up for 70 percent recovery right now!
Over the past 24 hours, I feel like I have gained back some hearing sensation but it could be placebo or pass through to the good ear. I can make out when I scratch my inner left ear now when I feel like I couldn’t before. Could be me gripping at nothing, but I certainly want to feel like I’m improving.
