George Meyer AV in Los Angeles (the ridiculous overcharging shop who has my NAD) is now quoting me $100 just to return my unit to me, on top of the $80 down payment I paid when I shipped it to them (cost applicable towards repair but apparently not shipping? For some reason?). This is ridiculous...

Ah my bad, misread the part about it being a classics release and just assumed it's a TP (haven't been keeping up on releases). Yeah that makes sense. I remember when the Soul Station/Moanin BNC's first came out and where littered with issues. I think they quickly repressed those.

Which one's aren't winners? I haven't bought a TP in about 6 month (amp in the shop), but I've yet to encounter one that was anything less than stellar. If there's any I should avoid, I'd love to know.

Disabled adblocker on youtube (after they basically forced me me to), and the first ad I get is the trailer for an anti-Trans propaganda/hate film. Like cmon Youtube, don't pull a Twitter.

Jai Paul's such a joke.

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/oct/12/keith-giffen-comic-book-artist-and-writer-dies-aged-70 We lost Keith Giffen today. These past few years have been brutal to comics; we've lost so many legends. At least it seems that Keith was able to keep up his exuberant sense of humor up until...

What's happening with Crateism? With my amp in the shop for months I havent been following all the drama. Did they just not ship all the records from that big sale?

Yeah I reached out to him as well, but he said he mainly does upgrades rather than repairs, and that he wasn't comfortable working on a Cs75BEE because of it's surface mounted components. This whole thing's just been a major bummer.

Sorry, not interested in buying used or open box after this whole ordeal. Called the shop again to get more details. Apparently the $850 quote is for a full capacitor replacement, and testing and replacing just the faulty ones would take more time, and thus cost even more. They still couldn't...

Todays $1 comic find....terrible shape, but absolutely worth it for the price. I'll replace it with a better copy someday.

Fantastic stuff, it’s so incredibly out there for Star Wars. That’s one series that was ongoing at the time of the Disney purchase, so unfortunately it all had to wrap up really abruptly. But I adore everything about pre Old Republic era star wars. I can remember playing Knights of the Old...

Yep, for reference the shop is George Meyer AV, a licensed NAD repair shop in LA. When I get a chance today or tomorrow I'm gonna give em another call now that I have a clearer head, and see if I really did hear them correctly. Because it does sound ridiculous.
