	12:49am cory: hola ryad und claw
	12:50am V Priceless: Hey Claw! How's it going?
	12:51am cory: shit sorry ryab
	12:51am Ryab: Salut cory.
	12:51am Claw!: Ok, I suppose. Moving soon, which is stressful, but it'll be over by May. How about you?
	12:52am Ryab: That's ok idc. Just saw it as a backwards b
	12:52am Claw!: Hola, Cory!
	12:52am cory: probst, ryab
	12:53am Nick Name: belated Hello S Houston -
	12:54am Dean: Saw this band live in Hollywood a billion years ago.
	12:54am cory: is a crosley an okay entry model?
	12:54am Nick Name: Hello Cory - nice , good luck with that
	12:54am ℰ Ī Ҡ: Aw, consarnit, my only good pair of glasses frames just broke. URRGH. Y'all ever use any of the online glasses-making services?
	12:55am V Priceless: Just chillin'. Looking foward to 3 days of 60+ degree weather starting tomorrow! Yeah, you have my sympathies about moving. Try not to get too stressed-out.
	12:55am Nick Name: Hey Dean - thx for checking in - wow, must have been a 'show'
	12:57am Dean: Nick, it was fantastic. I loved the band then, forgot about them, and love them again now. Mary Monday was the opening act, IIRC. As for Kirk, I saw Cabaret Voltaire, too, in LA, w/ opening act Young Marble Giants. Thems was the days.
	1:00am Guido from Cologne: Good morning Nick! Great show! Touring dates Soft Moon (US currently, Europe following): www.thesoftmoon.com...
	1:01am V Priceless: Cool blend, Nick!
	1:02am coelacanth: olá Nick and peoples
	1:04am V Priceless: Hey coelacanth!
	1:05am Claw!: Yeah, thanks. It'll be sweet when it's all done. No sign of Fish today, huh?
	1:06am Ryab: www.man-man-man.nl
	1:06am rw: cory, I'm not an expert but I'm sure it will work. Does it have an adjustable counterbalance? You want to keep just enough weight on the needle to track the groove without putting too much wear on your LP's. Usually around a gram and half. Also, I've found that sound quality can change dramatically with different cartridges (the part that holds the needle). Congratulations! Have a good time with it!
	1:06am V Priceless: See above, C!
	1:08am rw: Oh, and depending on how anal you are you might want to invest in a nice LP cleaning brush and fluid.
	1:10am coelacanth: greetings V P! hey cory i've never had a crosley,but -what rw said + make sure the platter is perfectly level,before you set the anti-skate. and CLEAN your records before EVERY time!
	1:10am Dean: Trust me. Proper cleaning of LPs makes a huge difference in sound and performance of the cartridge and stylus.
	1:11am coelacanth: oh,yeah-what they said.
	1:13am V Priceless: I have it on excellent authority that wood glue works wonders on restoring old scratchy vinyl too, but you must allow it to sit for a day or so before peeling off
	1:15am Dean: But old scratchy vinyl doesn't require restoration! The age and scratchiness are part of the pleasure.
	1:15am rw: coelacanth, how does one set the anti-skate? I usually just turn the knob until my records stop skipping. VP, I've been wanting to try that trick but I'm too scared (and busy).
	1:16am Claw!: FISH! Where ya been all my life??
	1:18am coelacanth: rw- their all different, but with no manual that's what i do now too! "discwasher" was once excellent,but was bought out and i don't know now. a good fluid to use is distilled water with a drop or 2 of "photo-flow" per pint. (you can ask someone with a b/w darkroom for this. a tablespoonful should last you the rest of your life!)
	1:18am Dean: For those of you in the "Bay Area," don't miss an amazing turntable and LP store in San Jose, Analog Room. The guy who runs it, Brian, can't care less about promotion. There is no signage on the shop and the website has tanked. But wow if you like analog shit, it's the place to be: http://www.yelp.com/biz/the-analog-room-san-jose
	1:18am V Priceless: Dean: fair point!
	1:19am coelacanth: oh, most of that is for cory! Hey Bear!!.. the deep? how are ya?
	1:20am Dean: V Priceless: it's my thing, but truly there are transcriptions of very old vocal recitals with little to no noise reduction that are far more enjoyable than stuff that's been "cleaned up."
	1:20am V Priceless: I dig vintage stereo gear! I swear by my old Dynaco speakers!
	1:20am JakeGould: @Ike: I have used 39DollarGlasses.com and they are decent. They have their own frames which are fairly generic. But they can also custom fit your prescription in frames you sell them which is what I do nowadays. They work fine for me.
	1:21am coelacanth: IKE - i just tried "39 dollar glasses" recently,and i'm surprisingly satisfied!
	1:23am coelacanth: what the hell!! everyone's stealing my thoughts before i think them! (my internet connection here sucks)
	1:24am JakeGould: Also, anyone here know of a good source for simple speaker guts. Just the speakers themselves. I know I can order on eBay or from electronics sellers or even scope out thrift stores, but I want to get like 10 smallish 1" to 2" speakers to use in a project.
	1:24am Claw!: Meh. I could be less stressed, but Imma be ok. Thank goodness for Weird Al. He has been keeping me afloat throughout the tension. Just got tickets to see him live in June, and I can't wait! :-}
	1:25am Dean: Carter/Bradford are over the top. That show from Catalina Bar & Grill on hatHut is divine.
	1:26am V Priceless: Yeah Dean. I'm leery of that 'cleaned up' stuff, in most cases. No signal processing or post-production in the world beats the honesty of a great microphone.
	1:28am Dean: Two words, V Priceless: Ward Marston.
	1:28am coelacanth: Dynaco! how old are those V? i've got 35 year old genesis speakers; i've got a feeling yours are older than that!
	1:31am coelacanth: quite like this Nick!
	1:32am V Priceless: @JakeG: try Zalytron in Mineola, here on LI. Family-run, been in biz since forever. They may have what you need. Sorry I can't copy and paste from my dumb phone, but Google them. They're on Jericho Tpke. In Mineola, my old 'hood.
	1:36am V Priceless: @ Fish: they're old A25's, early 70's issue. My bro used to own a pair back in the day. I loved them so much I scored two pairs on ebay when I was building my system. Arguably one of the greatest 'bookshelf' speakers ever made. Rubber surrounds!
	1:39am JakeGould: Hey VPriceless, Zalytron looks good for real-world speakers, (www.zalytron.com) but what I am looking for is just cheap speakers like you’d find in something like a desktop “speaker” for an MP3 player. Or cheap computer speakers. But not the whole speaker, just the actual speaker electronics themselves. damn, this makes me wish Canal Street had electronic surplus places.
	1:39am Jeremy: A Cavern of Anti-Matter remix?
	1:40am Claw!: Have a good night, Gang! I'm out - it's been a long day. Til next week... Muah!
	1:41am coelacanth: V those sound amazing! (no pun intended!) ...my dad has jbl cabinets from c.1960.(12"?,mid & tweet...) apparently in the 90s the company decided the foam they used around the speakers was of poor quality and recalled their speakers to be fitted with new foam. my father sent his in and they were of honor. those speakers are like new!
	1:41am Brian in UK: Mornin' Nick. Watford correspondent here. At Cafe Oto last night to see Naura Mint Seyhali. And so to work. Deep joy as the Professor would say.
	1:41am V Priceless: @Jake: Radio Shack, while they last? Dean: thanks for the lead - I shall explore!
	1:42am coelacanth: aw...g'night Bear!
	1:43am JakeGould: @VPriceless: Screw Radio Shack. Dealing with the staff is painful enough nowadays. Might go the online route anyway at this rate. Getting to the point that anyone who “makes” anything needs to go online to get stuff. Rubs me the wrong way, but hey… Such is the modern world.
	1:44am V Priceless: Hang in there, Claw! Meat Loaf says hello, btw.
	1:45am coelacanth: there used to be a place for components on rt.22 in union nj; but i doubt it's still there.
	1:45am Ryab: Just beautiful.
	1:46am Nick Name: @Dean: right, sounds great.
	1:47am Nick Name: Hi Guido - thx and thx for checking in
	1:48am Nick Name: Hey coelacanth!
	1:48am V Priceless: Digging this Pioulard, Nick!
	1:49am V Priceless: I think ebay always a decent source for vintage stereo gear, which, for the most part, is still a bargain.
	1:51am rw: Jake, Can you rip the speakers out of a radio from a thrift shop?
	1:52am JakeGould: @coelacanth: All the component places are basically just mail order from eBay out of some guy’s garage at this point. I wish I could just rummage through real boxes of items like the good old days of surplus.
	1:54am JakeGould: @rw: Yeah, I mentioned the possibility of ripping speakers out of old radios but even that is tenuous. Online might be the best practical bet at this time.
	1:54am coelacanth: where i live (& where each of my parents live as well) the town has a curbside "junk" pick up soon...someone'll be throwing out some salvageable speakers.
	1:56am Nick Name: @Jeremy: right on - thx for checking in
	1:56am rw: Jake, What's the project? Sounds interesting.
	1:57am JakeGould: @coelacanth: Yeah, NYC is like that as well. Oddly the only thing I have consistently seen electronics-wise this week? Old flat tube TV sets. Not flat screen, but specifically flat tube TVs. And LOTS of them all over. It’s like they all got tossed at the same moment?
	1:57am Jeremy: Cascading loveliness is this Pioulard track...
	1:57am JakeGould: @rw: The project is an art thing of undetermined final form. But I just know I need speakers.
	1:58am Nick Name: Hello Brian! : thx so much for the extra $20 post show that made me reach my 100% marathon goal , the " that's Better " remark made me chuckle - cheers
	1:59am coelacanth: i must say i've had great ebay transactions,for the most part. ...i did get a broken 8-track cartridge player/recorder and the guy wasn't cool; but ebay orchestrated a 100% refund- AND i kept the unit and fixed it.
	2:04am rw: Cool. Let us know how it turns out! You have a venue?
	2:04am Nick Name: @v Pricelss / Jeremy: Pioulard , yes very nice
	2:05am V Priceless: Gotta catch some z's. Cheers all - thanks Nick! Fine show!
	2:05am JakeGould: @rw: “You have a venue?” Venue? I am simply making an art thing and need speakers. And no, I will never create noise art. I just want to create a nice/odd speaker setup.
	2:07am Ĩk∑: Thanks @Jake & @coel re: glasses. Would've replied sooner, but I'm, uh, having trouble seeing.
	2:14am coelacanth: 'night V!
	2:16am rw: Sorry. I work in the art world and automatically think of public display. I've been wanting to make a music player out of one of those Raspberry Pi's. You think it would be easy to program the FMU ap into one of those things?
	2:18am Nick Name: Night V - thx , have a good weekend
	2:28am coelacanth: i'm fading too. Thank you Nick! ciao everybody.
	2:29am JakeGould: @rw: “You think it would be easy to program the FMU ap into one of those things?” You could install an MP3 player in whatever flavor of Linux you would put in a Raspberry Pi and then just stream the audio via whatever audio URL you would choose.
	2:34am Nick Name: thx coelacanth - have a good weekend
	2:37am rw: Jake, So... fairly easy. I'm not really computer guy but it seems like a fun and potentially educational (and possibly frustrating) project to work on with my 13 yr. old son this summer.
	2:43am rw: Nick, The Cambodian night does seem like a fun evening. You're going, right? Unfortunately I'm on the other side of the country.
	2:45am JakeGould: @rw: “Easy” is a relative term. And I work in tech and generally the second someone asks “It’s easy…” or “How hard can that be?” They are really in over their heads before they even hit the ground. Do a Google search for “Raspberry Pi MP3 Streaming” and you can find this. I found this. www.codeproject.com... as well as this one: www.woutervanwijk.nl... 100% no experience with either project but if you want one, there you go.
	2:50am rw: Thank you Mr. Gould! That codeproject one looks fairly step-by-step. If you hear screams of frustration coming from the west this summer it's probably me!
	2:51am rw: And Thanks to Mr. Name! Have a great week all!
	2:51am Ken From Hyde Park: Checking in before I check out for the night.
	2:59am Nick Name: thx rw - have a great weekend - i hope to make that gig! would really like to be present
	3:00am Nick Name: Hi ken - thx for checking in / out
	3:02am Nick Name: thx all - have a good weeeknd
	3:03am Ryab: You too Nick.
	10:15pm Siriusly: Such a great show

	1:21am coelacanth: IKE - i just tried "39 dollar glasses" recently,and i'm surprisingly satisfied!
	1:23am coelacanth: what the hell!! everyone's stealing my thoughts before i think them! (my internet connection here sucks)
	1:24am JakeGould: Also, anyone here know of a good source for simple speaker guts. Just the speakers themselves. I know I can order on eBay or from electronics sellers or even scope out thrift stores, but I want to get like 10 smallish 1" to 2" speakers to use in a project.
	1:24am Claw!: Meh. I could be less stressed, but Imma be ok. Thank goodness for Weird Al. He has been keeping me afloat throughout the tension. Just got tickets to see him live in June, and I can't wait! :-}
	1:25am Dean: Carter/Bradford are over the top. That show from Catalina Bar & Grill on hatHut is divine.
	1:26am V Priceless: Yeah Dean. I'm leery of that 'cleaned up' stuff, in most cases. No signal processing or post-production in the world beats the honesty of a great microphone.
	1:28am Dean: Two words, V Priceless: Ward Marston.
	1:28am coelacanth: Dynaco! how old are those V? i've got 35 year old genesis speakers; i've got a feeling yours are older than that!
	1:31am coelacanth: quite like this Nick!
	1:32am V Priceless: @JakeG: try Zalytron in Mineola, here on LI. Family-run, been in biz since forever. They may have what you need. Sorry I can't copy and paste from my dumb phone, but Google them. They're on Jericho Tpke. In Mineola, my old 'hood.
	1:36am V Priceless: @ Fish: they're old A25's, early 70's issue. My bro used to own a pair back in the day. I loved them so much I scored two pairs on ebay when I was building my system. Arguably one of the greatest 'bookshelf' speakers ever made. Rubber surrounds!
	1:39am JakeGould: Hey VPriceless, Zalytron looks good for real-world speakers, (www.zalytron.com) but what I am looking for is just cheap speakers like you’d find in something like a desktop “speaker” for an MP3 player. Or cheap computer speakers. But not the whole speaker, just the actual speaker electronics themselves. damn, this makes me wish Canal Street had electronic surplus places.
	1:39am Jeremy: A Cavern of Anti-Matter remix?
	1:40am Claw!: Have a good night, Gang! I'm out - it's been a long day. Til next week... Muah!
	1:41am coelacanth: V those sound amazing! (no pun intended!) ...my dad has jbl cabinets from c.1960.(12"?,mid & tweet...) apparently in the 90s the company decided the foam they used around the speakers was of poor quality and recalled their speakers to be fitted with new foam. my father sent his in and they were of honor. those speakers are like new!
	1:41am Brian in UK: Mornin' Nick. Watford correspondent here. At Cafe Oto last night to see Naura Mint Seyhali. And so to work. Deep joy as the Professor would say.
	1:41am V Priceless: @Jake: Radio Shack, while they last? Dean: thanks for the lead - I shall explore!
	1:42am coelacanth: aw...g'night Bear!
	1:43am JakeGould: @VPriceless: Screw Radio Shack. Dealing with the staff is painful enough nowadays. Might go the online route anyway at this rate. Getting to the point that anyone who “makes” anything needs to go online to get stuff. Rubs me the wrong way, but hey… Such is the modern world.
	1:44am V Priceless: Hang in there, Claw! Meat Loaf says hello, btw.
	1:45am coelacanth: there used to be a place for components on rt.22 in union nj; but i doubt it's still there.
	1:45am Ryab: Just beautiful.
	1:46am Nick Name: @Dean: right, sounds great.
	1:47am Nick Name: Hi Guido - thx and thx for checking in
	1:48am Nick Name: Hey coelacanth!
	1:48am V Priceless: Digging this Pioulard, Nick!
	1:49am V Priceless: I think ebay always a decent source for vintage stereo gear, which, for the most part, is still a bargain.
	1:51am rw: Jake, Can you rip the speakers out of a radio from a thrift shop?
	1:52am JakeGould: @coelacanth: All the component places are basically just mail order from eBay out of some guy’s garage at this point. I wish I could just rummage through real boxes of items like the good old days of surplus.
	1:54am JakeGould: @rw: Yeah, I mentioned the possibility of ripping speakers out of old radios but even that is tenuous. Online might be the best practical bet at this time.
	1:54am coelacanth: where i live (& where each of my parents live as well) the town has a curbside "junk" pick up soon...someone'll be throwing out some salvageable speakers.
	1:56am Nick Name: @Jeremy: right on - thx for checking in
	1:56am rw: Jake, What's the project? Sounds interesting.
	1:57am JakeGould: @coelacanth: Yeah, NYC is like that as well. Oddly the only thing I have consistently seen electronics-wise this week? Old flat tube TV sets. Not flat screen, but specifically flat tube TVs. And LOTS of them all over. It’s like they all got tossed at the same moment?
	1:57am Jeremy: Cascading loveliness is this Pioulard track...
	1:57am JakeGould: @rw: The project is an art thing of undetermined final form. But I just know I need speakers.
	1:58am Nick Name: Hello Brian! : thx so much for the extra $20 post show that made me reach my 100% marathon goal , the " that's Better " remark made me chuckle - cheers
	1:59am coelacanth: i must say i've had great ebay transactions,for the most part. ...i did get a broken 8-track cartridge player/recorder and the guy wasn't cool; but ebay orchestrated a 100% refund- AND i kept the unit and fixed it.
	2:04am rw: Cool. Let us know how it turns out! You have a venue?
	2:04am Nick Name: @v Pricelss / Jeremy: Pioulard , yes very nice
	2:05am V Priceless: Gotta catch some z's. Cheers all - thanks Nick! Fine show!
	2:05am JakeGould: @rw: “You have a venue?” Venue? I am simply making an art thing and need speakers. And no, I will never create noise art. I just want to create a nice/odd speaker setup.
	2:07am Ĩk∑: Thanks @Jake & @coel re: glasses. Would've replied sooner, but I'm, uh, having trouble seeing.
	2:14am coelacanth: 'night V!
	2:16am rw: Sorry. I work in the art world and automatically think of public display. I've been wanting to make a music player out of one of those Raspberry Pi's. You think it would be easy to program the FMU ap into one of those things?
	2:18am Nick Name: Night V - thx , have a good weekend
	2:28am coelacanth: i'm fading too. Thank you Nick! ciao everybody.
	2:29am JakeGould: @rw: “You think it would be easy to program the FMU ap into one of those things?” You could install an MP3 player in whatever flavor of Linux you would put in a Raspberry Pi and then just stream the audio via whatever audio URL you would choose.
	2:34am Nick Name: thx coelacanth - have a good weekend
	2:37am rw: Jake, So... fairly easy. I'm not really computer guy but it seems like a fun and potentially educational (and possibly frustrating) project to work on with my 13 yr. old son this summer.
	2:43am rw: Nick, The Cambodian night does seem like a fun evening. You're going, right? Unfortunately I'm on the other side of the country.
	2:45am JakeGould: @rw: “Easy” is a relative term. And I work in tech and generally the second someone asks “It’s easy…” or “How hard can that be?” They are really in over their heads before they even hit the ground. Do a Google search for “Raspberry Pi MP3 Streaming” and you can find this. I found this. www.codeproject.com... as well as this one: www.woutervanwijk.nl... 100% no experience with either project but if you want one, there you go.
	2:50am rw: Thank you Mr. Gould! That codeproject one looks fairly step-by-step. If you hear screams of frustration coming from the west this summer it's probably me!
	2:51am rw: And Thanks to Mr. Name! Have a great week all!
	2:51am Ken From Hyde Park: Checking in before I check out for the night.
	2:59am Nick Name: thx rw - have a great weekend - i hope to make that gig! would really like to be present
	3:00am Nick Name: Hi ken - thx for checking in / out
	3:02am Nick Name: thx all - have a good weeeknd
	3:03am Ryab: You too Nick.
	10:15pm Siriusly: Such a great show
