Whenever I see John post on my threads, it'll forever remind me of how, if we ever meet up, we need to reenact the Festrunk bros SNL skit.

You know what JJ...I think of that quite a bit. Man that was funny!

But seriously.....

Now you you actually have some decent speakers

[Show spoiler]

, you know it's time you give some consideration to introduction the sweet sound of vinyl! Not only that....the ladies love it!

Johnny Vinyl · 02-19-2013, 09:53 PM

And when you do, because it really is only a question of time get this:

Ry Cooder - Buena Vista Social Club

Here's a live clip:

Ok, so the price of the vinyl ain't cheap, but hey....it's worth it!

hey JJ, how has you Sony 790 been working for you?

I have gone thru 2 of them in 10 days. the first one the tray faceplate popped off, then the other one Ive had for a few days, last night just stopped playing dvds. it would play blus and cds but not a single dvd. I have about 100-140 dvds that Im never gonna flip to blus so I was rather upset when it stopped playing 50 first dates last night. I took it back today and go my money back. not sure what to do now.

Ha! You've been wanting the 790 because of its dual core processor

Now you went thru dual 790s!!

I told you to get the s590 but you never listened!

Wow, really?

Mine's been nothing but a dream. Super fast loading, amazing PQ (I like to think it looks better even though it's probably the same), quick response to remote input - everything I wanted it to be over my old POS S480.

I have tried SACDs on it but found that my Pioneer DV48 still plays music at better quality than it does. Something about DACs, I believe.

My old man has the 590 and he hasn't had any issues w/ it to date, actually...

from all that I could tell its supposed to be a very good player so I was not happy to have had the issues. I ended up just buying the Oppo 103 tonight. Didnt really want to go that route to begin with, but at least its a reference player to go with my whole system that I wont have to worry too much about.

Hey Steve, congrats on getting a REAL blu-ray player.

It's been nothing but a gem.

Somebody convince me to buy a new Harmony remote. The broken screen, the more I think about it, is downright embarrassing.

Okay, now I finally had time to set up, light, and take a professional shot w/ my camera. The old one was a little half-assed (This one:

- Lou wouldn't have let a shot like that stand.)

Nice buddy, real nice. Now that you had some time with the Faber, how do you like them?

JJ · 05-31-2013, 12:09 PM

Four months later, and last week I did a new set of calibrations and tweaks with two different SPL meters (to ensure I'm getting quasi-accurate measurements anyway) - and now everything is in harmony, a bit better than before.

I come to you now in a state of sheer contentment, and the Veneres have opened up my desire to listen to music far more than my B&Ws ever did.
