Magnavox 1FM031
#7

Sweating it off up here today, off day today, back to grind tmrw. Listening to the Magnavox. My tube sets today a bit staticky, is that a word? Maybe too humid, when drizzly or moist I seem to get intereference from high tension lines out back. The solid state not so much. Sounds very fine for what it is. Very nice low end and bass but does not muddy higher end on music. So a good Magnavox product.

Has that heavy tuning feel like a german set, as a freind told me it's the flywheel effect on the tuner. Hope the heat breaks soon. Music and a cold one on a 98 degree day. Living high.

btw, nice website Ron, many pretty things.

How hot is it sez Ed McMahon, Johnny sez it's so hot ............

Paul.
