ZM:

Glad to hear you're zenned out dude.

I really liked "The Lathe of Heaven" and I've been looking to read more of her stuff.

Is "Left Hand of Darkness" the place to start?

 

[Nelson Pass]

I have a copy of the movie (Lathe of Heaven) which appeared on PBS -
a very charming movie with a good soundtrack.

Hi Mr. Pass,
I'm one of the Pass mania fan in far away NZ, a casual audio Diyer.
Could we have a sneek peek of what the Burning Amp III gonna look like?
Just a tiny idea, I'm sure everyone is interested to know.. very keen on this new device called Sic.
Thanks,
reytNZ

regarding Ursula - I have many of her books ;
as with muzak , I'm always preferring chronological approach

but , The Left Hand of Darkness is one of 3 books I'm always taking with me on vacation .

it's in fact zillionth time I'm reading it

sort of meditation .... like chatting with old friend - you don't need brain for that

 

[jacco vermeulen]

You mean sorta like talking to you. (or yourself)

 

[Nelson Pass]

In any case, ZM, you can watch the movie when you're out here.

 

[Michael Rothacher]

Interesting. I'll have to look for the PBS video.

It's funny, I find myself re-reading Slaughterhouse Five on vacation. So, I'm not the only one who does that.

To warm up things a bit, here's a view of sunset which I took while on vacation...

Very nice image, Vix. I had a similar sundown this evening at the Elbe river. I had been to the annual beach party of my company. Indeed a great evening for us! We've had rain here all the days except for today!

Since it's photo sharing time, here's what I assembled today.

[Spooky Electric]

It's beautiful!!! Reminds me a bit of a Transrotor Leonardo.

 

[jacco vermeulen]

Mm, i'd like a matching Armando espresso maker.

 

[Michael Rothacher]

She's a beaut. Sea Ranch listening room?

 

[Itsmee]

Is that an induction motor or mass loading in the platter

Here's most of the rest of the SR system.

Mentor Pass....very nice, and quite a slab of plexiglass. Now comes the fun--keeping fingerprints off it...!

Might you be giving your audio room away, at the next Burning Amp? (Darn--I think I know the answer to THAT one!)
