Great music x 2, wonderful handmade furniture and great equipment to play it on.
1.Vintage (mostly) stereo equipment and a beautiful new HiFi cabinet (made by @StevenKennard ) are deserving of great new music from our Mastodon musician friends!
2. The other day we received our CD from Me:She @meshe whose music we have been obsessively listening to since we were introduced to her on Mastodon.
3. Another musician we discovered here and whose CDs we bought is Nigel Harpur @nigelharpur
This is such a great place to meet wonderful, creative people. There are more, but these two are being featured here today!

Any vintage hifi people got any ground loop tips? Weird thing I did not see coming: my TV has some influence on it, though I guess that makes complete sense; it is what's connected to the other ("AUX") input.
If I unplug one of the RCAs from my TV's audio out, the hum gets SIGNIFICANTLY LOUDER. Not entirely sure sure why that is; probably the fact that it has a massive ground plane and a chunky 3 pronged power cord doing most of the heavy lifting to flush that noise down "the holes" (really hope somebody gets this reference).I'd probably just unhook everything, then eliminate the variable of power bars/extension cords, and then go one by one putting things back together and noting what happens, but my ancient plasma TV has bad caps that can make turning it on take anywhere from 10 minutes to a few days (so I guess they're *really* bad now, as of last time someone turned it off), so that power bar is not going anywhere til I either replace the caps, or the TV, lol.
