Rick “had this on for a couple of weeks” Denney
Posted elsewhere before seeing this thread.
I got it three weeks ago, and was boosted at the six-month mark (Moderna) right before Thanksgiving. Maybe it reduced severity; maybe not. Sure didn’t...
I contracted Covid on, literally, January 1. Symptoms were fairly minor and done in a week, except for a profound lack of motivation to do basically anything. Just now coming out of that.
Rick...
It’s a cross between a recent Concord Saratoga…

…and a recent Concord Mariner…...
Ooooh.
Rick “sigh” Denney

Ebel Sport Classic Titanium Limited Edition (one of 200).
Incredibly light, and utterly transparent on my arm. 40mm case by 9mm...
On my recent drive from Virginia to Texas and back, the standout listening was Maynard Ferguson’s MF Horn 4&5: Live at Jimmy’s. I have it on vinyl from when it was new. It’s the stage-band sound of...
Hope it works out—that’s a great watch on your arm, Walt.
I have made the deal for Gary123’s Zodiac Super Sea Wolf. Just need to get back home (in Texas this month) and get together to change...
Roman markers are classic and nobody mixed metals better than Ebel. (There are all-steel and all-gold versions, but not as easy to find, especially all-steel).
But in any case if you you were...
Islay for me, usually. Laphroaig or my standard go-to these days, which is Bowmore. The peaty flavor was a revelation—my scotch epiphany. But having become enthusiastic about peaty scotches, I’m...

Rick “first Speyside” Denney
I think it’s an 18mm strap, and the case is 22mm or 23mm wide. But square or not, it’s tiny.

Rick “interesting history for UG” Denney
Can’t isn’t the issue. It’s run by idiots because they won’t make UG watches.
Here’s a Universal dress watch from about 1966, when they were called the poor man’s Patek. Too small to wear but...
Oh, they are absolutely real.
Rick “never seen a fake screw on an Ebel” Denney
Well, it seemed like a good theory!
Maybe he was tired of being confused with Charles Blum, who by that time was extremely influential in the Jura watch industry.
Or not.
Rick “wondering...
Not sure fine-tuning was necessary. :)
By the way, “Blum” is a Jewish name in watch-making regions. There were lots of family connections between Bescançon and La Chaux-de-Fonds/Locle, and Jewish...
That depends on the speaker. Walt’s early mentor, Henry Kloss, found that the fried-egg design used in the first Advent speakers could radiate mid-range power reasonably well, and crossed it over...

This CD is showing me what imaging is all about, rewarding me for getting better speakers and setting them up...
Just scored a used pair of Revel F12 speakers. My Advents are looking at me with tear-filled puppy-dog eyes after 44 years of loyal service, but I have another plan for them. But I finally received...
Had to start all over—the app “disappeared” IWL.
Rick “working now” Denney
IWL has just disappeared from Tapatalk. I hope that is not intentional.
Rick “vBulletin sucks on an iPhone” Denney
I’m exhuming this old thread to add to it. My father passed away recently as most here know. He was 92, and was in the Texas A&M Class of 1949. His buddies in ”A” Company, Signal Corps, in the Corps...
Naim CD5, cool and funky. Works fine but the clamp has lost a little of its grippiness. Sounds as good as I expected, which means as good as any competent CD player should sound.
I can’t tell any...
