The only "complaint" I have had with my turntable is that it didn't come with a dust cover. But I knew that going in. I kicked around DIY options and ended up just getting one from a shop in Portland. I think there are cheaper options on eBay, but this one was more heavy duty. http://echohifi.com/details/6707/Echo-Audio_Dust-Cover

Welcome to the club. If you get sick of looking at it, just close your eyes and listen.

They look about the right height if you're listening from a desk-height chair.

So far, so good. I haven't seen a single band, but I cashed in the poker tournament (8 way split at the final table).

so...PRB is this weekend. I went a few years ago and wasn't really interested in going again (too hot for this pale Wisconsin kid), but a friend's band is playing a few side shows this year and I'm tagging along. Who else is PRBing?

Brienne is relatively expendable. No real political/strategic value. If anything, it would be a ploy to lure the Blackfish out if he has, indeed, recaptured Riverrun. He's the last real Tully in play other than Edmure (who is held by the Freys). If he takes his troops North, Littlefinger could double back and retake Riverrun, ambush him on his way north, or simply send word to King's Landing that Riverrun is vulnerable.

Pretty sure only Brienne is going to Riverrun. The rest are going to talk to the other Northern houses. Probably to Bear Island or White Harbor.

yoink! I'll take them. Send me a PM with PayPal details.

also consider that cleaning solution isn't water. It evaporates almost immediately. humidity is likely the bigger risk, but not something I worry about (VPI 16.5 owner).

MusicDirect has been carrying the Okki Nokki for a while. I think it's right around $500.

Small size is always going to require compromise in audio. Particularly with an amplifier. If you need a small all-in-one, people who buy Sprouts seem to like them, although I suspect most of them are primarily concerned with the cute form-factor. If nothing else, you can move it to desktop/PC duty when you upgrade. I use a small Emotiva amp tucked away under my desk for my PC rig along with a Schit DAC and headphone amp. The amp is a bit bigger than the Sprout, but puts out an honest 50 watts with a good sized power supply and is significantly cheaper. ~$150 + the cost of companion components vs $500 for the Sprout.

Can you cite something on that? The information I saw says that the cost per episode is higher than it ever was.

Here in the good ole USA we have OCEANS. Seas are for communists and olive pickers.

The last time we saw Littlefinger, I believe he was asking for Cersei's blessing in taking the Knights of the Vale north to retake Winterfell. Should be interesting.

those are stand mount speakers. You'll want to mount them on speaker stands. The specs will likely give you some guidelines on positioning, but the rule of thumb is that the tweeter should be at roughly ear height from your listening position. those are large speakers, you'll likely end up needing stands that are a bit shorter than average if your listening from couch-height.

Sounds like you only read half of the first sentence of his post?

Looks like Monitor Audio Silver 2? I use RX1s for my PC setup and RX8s in my main audio/AV setup. You need to get them off the floor. They will sound worlds better.

It's always difficult when LP jacket seams separate. The important thing to remember is that even though they are separating, it is not your fault and your LP jacket seams will always love you.

He barely helped her escape a situation he created (after passing on prior opportunities). Jaime is clearly awful as well, but Reek did far, far worse for far weaker reasons.

He didn't kill them because he couldn't find them. He lied about it to save his own skin. And then he told the Bolton's about it. Regardless of what he's done lately, he created the entire situation in the North. He'll probably live a bit longer only because they find some sort of use for him.

Theon is a terrible human being. zero breaks deserved. Looking forward to Sansa having him executed.

Another Stanton is a waste of money.

I think that the Dorne thing simply serves to establish a power vacuum, making room for a new (possibly female) leader. Hmmm who could that be?
