Ricky's Audio Video Barn Build Project

[4-earredwonder]

You don't have to be New York royalty to not have a car. Heck, millions of New Yorkers don't have driver's licenses. I grew up in the Bronx and got my license at age 25 when I was living in Washington State.

Since I live in the suburbs, 35 miles from NYC, I do own and drive a car. And the only time I drove in a Limo was at prom and when attending a family funeral.

At least you didn't have to work the funeral. Still sad, nonetheless.

So when is Ricko going to fly ALL those QQ members who supported him through his barn project to the GRAND OPENING for some quality MAN TIME?

 

[Sonik Wiz]

thank you for the kind compliment, Scottie

How do you like your new projector? And did you end up getting a Reavon disc spinner?

Ralphie, you'd have to mansplain that one to me! And I was kinda hoping that you'd fly in your TOTL Meridian system for a little A/B'ing!

Edit: The skies above Ricky's part of the universe are Honolulu Blue!

Sonik - I love my new projector. Got to remember I was - up until November 8th, using a year 2000 projector ( which btw still did a nice job )
Ive not updated the disc spinner. The original contract for the new digs included the spinner below. Jury still out

BTW, Ricko, did you upgrade to the glass lens on your Bravia laser projector?

I drove the hearse for a funeral once. The regular driver was home ill, and I was the only person present who knew how to get to the cemetery.

Was it a Hearse rent a car?

Was it a Hertz rent a Hearse?

Do you guys know the story about how Neil Young joined the Buffalo Springfield?

There was something happening there...what it was isn't exactly clear....but do tell!

Stills had spent some time in Canada where he met and played with Young. During that time, Stills knew that Young drove around in a used hearse that he had purchased.

Fast forward to some time later when Stills was living in LA. He’s driving around on the freeway when he sees the hearse pass by. He waves and screams at Young, and then the two vehicles take the exit and the two friends reunite. Musical history is made!

I don’t own one but my understanding is that the Sony has a well documented intermittent stuttering problem. Also, it can’t be set to automatically detect and select Dolby Vision. That means that you have to manually select Dolby Vision each time that you play a disc that potentially utilizes that feature. The Panasonic players don’t have those problems but they don’t play SACD.
