Walter Cronkite is Wasted.

Cronkite was a great anchorman. After the 1968 Tet Offensive, after which the Viet Cong ceased to exist as an effective fighting force for the duration of the war, Cronkite had this this to say...

Car buying advice desired!

Hola,

I like cars in so much as they get me where I want to go, but I see more value in 10K spent on Hi Fi than I do added to a car's price.

However, my '97 Dodge POS es muerte, and I am compelled to buy a new car.

Aficonados, what car?

I looked at Mini Cooper JCW's and they are in budget and seem fun, and that's as far as I've gone.

(I do need four seats, so the kids can ride with katy and I. But the back seats can be somewhat 'abbreviated.')

My parameters: 40K or less, good AC, reliable.

I really don't know what to go after.

power transformer spins my turntable too fast

Hi,

So I recently moved to Canada from the UK, and I am running a project RPM1 through a MArantz PM7003 and a pair of B&W685s

So I bought a pwer transformer in order to power my my equipment at the correct voltage, and the strangest thing is happening, the record play is spinning faster than it should. The 33rpm setting is going at around 40rpms, its so weird.

I've struck gold.....

by an amazing twist of fate, I am now the owner of the contents of the building below... the gent, my gracious benefactor, was once, a long time ago, a code breaker and communications specialist overseas...he also repaired army equipment as well as having a business on the side repairing audio/video appliances..anyway, when he ETS(got out) of the army, he had thousands of valves with him and brought them over , set up shop in rural SC, and began a tv/radio repair service.

I just finished readying AD's column "Love in the Time of the Choleric." It is the most enjoyment I've had reading any article in recent memory (yes, even against several articles in the Onion).

It also struck me as a genuine and honest article. It probably doesn't hurt that it confirms my suspicions about speaker wire. And, to be honest, I was rooting for the little guy (zipcord).
