Re: What Are You Listening To? (Part Deux)
Jay's here today. (@agfrost) Dragged the Teac X-1000r upstairs. Listening to Bill Evans Trio / Waltz for Debbie and Joe Policastro / Jeru. Excellent recording.

Re: Darqueknight/ Ray Smith has passed away
This was shocking to hear. I never met him or even PM'd. But like many others I gained valuable knowledge from him from his posts since I was early into this hobby and joined CP back in 2009. I also really enjoyed the photos of his setups which were always so tastefully done with beautiful decor. RIP good sir.

A Southern Treat - Butter Beans in a Biscuit
Have not seen this one before and I am from the South?
Not very appetizing too me.....The article was in Southern Living. I have not tried it, but I do like green Lima beans (butter beans).
One of my aunts ate pieces of cantaloupe in biscuits.
My favorite is country ham in biscuits.
Try ripe cantaloupe with vanilla ice cream.
Surprisingly great combo.

I Corps in '68 especially the Marines from Hue north to the DMZ were too busy! Being shelled, shelling back and firefights. Nice thought though!

Re: Snub Way road test
Well I got my MC to go with my SW today and installed it. I had delayed shipping for several weeks as I didn't want it coming in when I was out of town.
I noticed more sound improvement with the MS than I had noticed with the SW. The Bass and midrange seem clearer than before, the music sounded better overall than without the MS. Some of the background sounds sounded clearer and more present than before.
I put the MS in my power conditioner power strip in the first outlet and plugged the SW into the wall outlet the power condition power strip was plugged into.
I be curious to see if it improves more after I've had it for several days. Very glad I bought it.

Re: Darqueknight/ Ray Smith has passed away
I just saw this. He was a great asset to Club Polk and I always looked forward to his posts. He will be missed by many here and outside this forum I'm sure, RIP.
As one who had prostrate cancer, everyone needs to have an annual checkup so you can catch it in time. I did and I'm cancer free.

Re: Killer deal on high-end knife .....
Just now noticed the thread. Dang, could not believe I missed it. Huge fan of blades from kitchen, camping, to bushcraft.....
I began many years ago with Shun, then added Henckels and Miyabi. I have added about a dozen other Japanese brands to my collection. The blades are all hand forged from families that have been in the business for many generations in Japan.
The one that stands out among all of them is the Takeda AS Gyutuo. The AS stands for Aogamo Super blue steel.
My sharpening setup that I have been using for some years. The bevel range is 7 to 30 degrees or so.
