I have finally listened to Dio..

The other week I decided it was time to just dive in and buy some Dio records. I did just that. I was blown the fuck away. Ronnie James Dio is a metal genius and knew what the fuck he was doing. From Rainbow to Sabbath to Dio! I am in love with his music and I’m sorry it took me this long to finally listen to his songs. Long live Dio!!

Pyle PP999 causing high pitched “eeeee” noise....

Technics SL-5200 > Pyle PP999 > Fosi BT20A Pro >
Elac Debut 3.0 DB63 is my setup.

I use an AT VM95ML/H cart

It appears my Pyle is causing this unbearable "eeee" noise in my speakers. They are passive. Just got everything hooked up after spending 2 hours doing it correctly. Whenever | turn on the Bluetooth function on my Fosi Pro the noise stops completely.
Turn it off BT mode and it resumes. If I unplug the wall power adapter of the Pyle from my power strip it stops completely as well. This leads me to believe that it's the Pyle of shit. I have a Fosi Box X5 arriving tomorrow. I'm very nervous this "eeeeee" noise will for some fucked up reason continue with it. But hopefully not. I'm certain it's the Pyle. Anyone have any similar issues with their Pyle??

Voodoo Lounge…best release on vinyl?

I see Voodoo Lounge was reissued in 2020 on a half speed 180g. They released a 2024 30th Edition on red and yellow vinyl. Im not seeing its half speed or on 180g. However, it comes with a 10 inch record with 4 extra songs. Which should I go for??? Price isn’t an issue. Which one sounds the best?

Finally upgraded my turntable

I found a Technics SL-5200 on marketplace this morning. It was made from 1978-1979. It was in damn near excellent condition. Only downfall is the dust cover hinge snapped on the guy. No biggie. I just manually remove it and place it. He got it from an estate sale 20 years ago and used heavily. He took very good care of it. It works as it should. No issues. Had to get a phono preamp for my Edifier R1280Ts**.** They sound more powerful but I’m thinking my setup is now too powerful for it. I initially had a Victrola Eastwood II. I am beyond the moon on this purchase for only $150. I spent $204 total including preamp and rca cables. I feel I could have this for decades to come and have a top tier player.

Severe Sleep Apnea

I have severe sleep apnea. Have for years. I tried using a cpap in 2018 when I was 25. Hated it. Felt like I couldn’t breath well and was hard to sleep. I’m 32 now and am using an apap machine. Same feelings as 8 years ago. I haven’t been able to sleep with it on. I lay in bed at night wearing it and feel like I’m suffocating at times. I’m sure I’m not. I have the Luna G3. How do I get over the initial hump?

Illinois Skills Test Questions

So I’m training with 2 very knowledgeable drivers currently. My skills test is this coming Monday in Springfield IL. I have been shown 2 different ways of offset backing. Both my trainers think their way is the way I’ll have to perform it at the dmv. I’m going to link a YouTube video that my main trainer is thinking it’ll be done. Can anyone confirm? The timestamp for said maneuver is 4:14. A few more questions.

  1. During the offset backing if my bumper goes over a cone is that automatic failure even if my bus doesn’t touch it?

  2. What are the automatic failures during the skills test?

One step closer….

I passed my final 2 dmv written exams! I have my permit! I drove yesterday. Wasn’t as difficult as I expected overall. Backing up the bus was a little challenging in a way. I’m really going to enjoy doing this.
