I know this isn't stereo related but...after doing the cottage door hinges today, I took my back door off to look at the torn seal on the bottom ( been like this for YEARS ) and found a replacement online. I Ordered it. This should've been done 15 years ago too.
Little by little.
Where or from whom did you order the seal? I need for three doors
Thanks Merry Christmas 🎄 Tony

I used to work in a steel door manufacturing plant 40 years ago and know most if not all Door Manufacturers label their doors in some way or another.
I looked all over my steel back door but didn't see anything. Strange thing I thought.
I then took the door hinge pins out and looked at the bottom. No Manu. tag but the attaching design was easy to see. To the Web I went. All of 6' away.
Lowe's Home Improvement first. "Steel Door bottom weather strips". A lot came up but none looked like it.
I then went to Amazon. Same thing. A lot... but no luck.
Then went to eBay. "BING"...
I found one that looked just like it. Some tap in, some slide in. This one slides in. The description said it was for PEASE DOORS. I then thought, ok, there might be a tag on TOP of the door. NOPE. BUT...looking at the top I noticed letter indentations stamped on the SIDE "near" the top. I could barely read it. I got my little flash light and edge shined the spot and the letters popped. PEASE.
I then thought OK, maybe Home Depot carries these things in stock here at their store. Not in store but their site said I could order it, free shipping and it was the same price as the eBay seller. I ordered it from Home Depot's site right then. This is the attachment design I needed;
I had bought a generic 36"- 1 3/4" friction fit door sweep weather-strip at a yard sale or somewhere for cheap and planned on using it on a door between the cottages rooms. Years later...just yesterday before dinner, I looked at that door for it's Manu. Tag. OK, It's plain as day...Therma-Tru. I came in and looked and didn't see much.
I went back out and unscrewed 5 screws holding the thing on and off it came. It was L shaped. I did try to take the hinge-pins out but they are the theft-proof type. I remembered after failing to tap them up I had installed them many years ago. But the thing came right off. I thought...maybe I replaced the weather-strip on the bottom at sometime too.
That new friction fit seal was right there next to this door so I opened it, and with some effort and tapping it down the door, it fit snug as h*%l. The seal fins were the same pattern too, which makes me happy. I haven't looked for exact Therma-Tru door bottom seals since. Maybe later.
All Doors should have their names on them. Andersen even has their name and date made on their glass in the upper right hand corners.
I think MD Manufacturing has a GREAT assortment to choose from too. I think my friction fit one was an MD generic door bottom weather-strip.
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

I think it would be cool to have doors named "Jim" and "Morrison".
Or even "Mr. Mojo Risin"
Our outside basement door has a frayed bottom sweep/seal -- I think it looks just like the one pictured above, so (in all seriousness) this is ineresting information to me!
10 months—no vacations, no travel, no shows, no entertainment, no restaurants. Merry Christmas to me. Retired my modified 11 yo Rega P3-24 ( gave it to my daughter and sol-they had an orbit). Picked up a Prime and Soundsmith Zephyr MKIII. So quiet! Great detail but not clinical. Only 20 hours in. Waiting for it to open up. Very happy camper here.

Looks great! Not a table I've been able to get ears on, but I've always wanted to. Same for the Soundsmith. I think that combo can last you as long as you want it last.
Nah, that's a VPI arm. They make and use their own arms.

Were you able to figure out that woofer movement thing?
No... crazy it is. When I play PF ANBITB it was perfect. When mover the needle to song six, Comfortably Nubm the sub sonic acted up. When I went to Santana all the songs were exhibiting the same issues.

Sounds like good ol' acoustic feedback, assuming this is a rekkid you're playing?
Resonance is an interesting topic. What's the arm/cartridge match like?
This may be very old news to all y'all but, a while back, I learned an amazing thing somewhere on teh webz: maybe on (IIRC) ASR (sorry!) -- or maybe it was here or @ AK.
One may use Audacity to get a good estimate of one's arm/cartridge/stylus suspension resonance.
Audacity has a built in "FFT" spectrum analyzer. Set up a rekkid to play, "sample" playback of a silent portion of said rekkid (e.g., the lead-in), then use the "analyze" function ("plot spectrum" option), set the "size" parameter large enough (16384) and voila -- visualize the arm/cartridge system resonance!
After setting up a second system in the “Pit” a few months ago,this morning I pulled the Graham Chartwell’s out,and put the Nola Boxer 2’s in the system. This is the first time I’ve set up the Nola’s in this system. They sound great to these ears.

I've also delivered hundreds myself. Small world.
Merry Christmas to you too.

Our outside basement door has a frayed bottom sweep/seal -- I think
Jim for reg. doors. Morrison for double doors.
If you can't see the sweep's pattern from the edge of the door bottom, tap the hinge pins up and out and tilt the door on its edge.
Get your eyes on how the sweep is attached.
They come in 32" and 36" for 99% of them. I saw some 40" ones...

I wish my little family would give me gifts like that.
You're making a good run at a long life.
And I'm right behind you.
My FB birthday greeting for most including ANY Autistic under 20. (In an Autistic FB group for my youngest son)
You received the “X” bonus for being “more mature than I. Any Autistic under 10 receives the same.
Celebrate life any way you can, every chance you get.

Oh and 750 ml of vodka down... so..... ya know. A grain. Of salt.
I was so close to a Gardo black. But picked up the cork matt and the Pangea 14se cord.
