    So the BlueTooth chip in my R-51PMs malfunctioned and made it so I couldn’t pair any BT devices too it, thus rendering that feature obsolete. Klipsch is sending me a new pair thankfully but now I have an extra pair of mainly functional R-51PMs. Are there opportunities here to use them in some surround type of capability or am I better off selling them?

    Hmm, I'd have to acquiesce to summertime with more knowledge than me on this one but those RCAs could be useful. @HiFi Guy ?

    You could use a preamp output on. Surround receiver into the AUX input on the speakers. This would work but I'd not do it. The amp in the receiver is likely better. I'd sell them.

    @HiFi Guy Great response! Thanks for the advice. Sell them I shall.

    Found an OG Miles Smiles on Friday, bought the MoFi Kind Of Blue boxset yesterday, and now I just found an OG Sketches Of Spain in great condition. My Miles collection has doubled in size this weekend 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. It’s about time.

    I hope 1 of those 6 records is "In A Silent Way"? It truly is one of the most beautiful pieces of music.

    @jamieanderson1968 not yet! The other three are Bitches Brew, Sorcerer and Miles Davis and John Coltrane: The Final Tour, eyeing the MoFi copy of In A Silent Way For next month! I’ve been leaning into Jazz a lot the past two years I’ve been collecting and just realized recently that I have basically no Miles and Trane, or many of THE classic albums actually. So I’m zeroing in on them now

    Good plan. I actually came to Miles via the Bill Laswell remix album (sacrilege I know) back in '97 and totally fell in love In A Silent Way.

    Finally decided to save my vinyl budget this month and spend it on the MOFI Kind of Blue boxset. Didn’t want to settle for the Legacy press on Amazon, not on an album this iconic

    @AnthonyI that’s been my philosophy as late, been spending my tip money week after week digging and coming home with okay pressings of great albums and as a result don’t listen to them much. Now just zeroing in on what I can nab from MoFi, AP, Speakers Corner, MM and more over the next couple of months. Been super fulfilling!

    Anyone fancy trading a sealed Southernplaya (VMP) for Daniel Norgren Wooh Dang (VMP)?

    Got my Khruangbin TTL exclusive today but my girlfriend asked me not to open it until she gets home from Russia on Friday. Oh, the things we do for love. 😩

    I had to shut off this Chance record a little more than half way through. I really didn’t enjoy this album. Everything is just way too over the top and none of it really clicks the way it used to. Chance is starting to seem like a parody of himself

    In the past three weeks I’ve gotten a promotion, engaged to my girlfriend of 3 years and a beautiful 2 month old husky rescue pup! Good things really do come in threes!

    Anyone have any experience with Japanese Blue Note King Pressings? How do they sound?

    They're generally very good. And can be had for relatively good prices.

    I have a couple of them and they all sound very good. Instant buy if it's a decent price!

    Your membership should still be open until the 1st. I cancelled mine but it doesn't take hold until the 1st, meaning I can still order.

    Apparently it’s the same pressing available for black on amazon for $10 cheaper so I’d just go that route.

    If VMP’s swaps aren’t on point this month they’re getting canceled after a year and a half of membership. Was going to swap for Big Bill Broonzy but it’s going for $12 on cogs for a NM edition, way cheaper than $27 for a mint version. I’ve been spending on this monthly membership to get albums I may like meanwhile the albums and classics I really really want aren’t on my shelves b/c VMP gets my money every month! 😩

    @wokeupnew Going to be moving over to a new cafe, I've been a barista the past couple months but my current cafe doesn't make it easy for us to receive tips, new cafe pays me the same base but has tips built into the purchase process! Will definitely help build a cushion. Decided to step away from the tech industry and be a Barista while I learn digital product design and launch my own business.

    @wokeupnew The corporate world was just always on, even when I was out of work I was still expected to work, it was killing me inside. So this gig has been awesome, just needed to make a littttle bit more money which I feel confident I will make now!
