[aussersein]

Thanks! Happy to be here.

Y'all have some amazing systems.

Clay, I see in your second pic stacks of "Black Pizza" but I don't see a tt in your system...what gives ??

 

[aussersein]

Yeah,

My old turntable went the way of the buffalo a few months ago. I'm still looking for a good, cheap, used player.

What's the blue thing on top of that there geetar? Can you play it (the geetar, not the blue thing)?

Nice twee system. And good luck sourcing a new record player.

 

[aussersein]

The blue thing is a Carolina Tarheels baseball cap. I can play a little guitar; the one in the picture needs a new bridge.

The Kenosha Kid? There is a Kenosha about 30 minutes from Milwaukee, did you live in Wisconsin for a while?

 

[aussersein]

Nah,

It's a line from my favorite book, Gravity's Rainbow.

I've been to Madison Wisconson; great town.

 

[DanielAdler]

Very nice. Its like a shrine to humanity. When I say humanity, I mean music.

 

[aussersein]

Overrated...

I gave my own system five stars, not knowing that it would stick. I like my system, but it's a soft two at best. I can't seem to get rid of the rating. Little help?

 

[Cherian]

Noting wrong with giving you own system 5 stars. I say let it be till it averages out.

 

[MiTT]

I just stoinked it down a bit, but it is a nice system. If it makes you happy that's all that matters!

 

[Satch]

Those look just like the speakers that got me hooked on Martin Logan.

 

[Dreamer]

I don't know how I missed this one...

Hey, we're practically neighbors, in terms of Martin Logan land...

I live in Washington NC. It's looking like there might be enough of us in NC to have our own little "Martin Logan Listening Day" sometime!

Good luck finding a new TT. You've got a nice system there, and by starting out with Martin Logans, you're already MILES ahead of the average system".

Welcome,

DrJRapp, on this site, has a Sota for sale. It sounds like a great deal.

New TT

Thanks guys,

I did buy an old Pioneer TT a few months ago. It's no thoroughbred, but it sounds fine.
