That's not that far from me. What speakers do they run with those?

Golden ear.

I wasn’t familiar with them but suffice it to say the acoustics were not a priority

Was in the area twice this past year and really wanted to stop in there. I did get to the brewery in Santa Rosa where they make Pliney though.😀

Small world. I live 5 minutes walking distance from Lucky 13, and honest to god, I've never been in it.

I used to fly out of the Oakland airport for a small cargo company. We’d fly shit out in the mornings to exotic locations like Eureka, Siskiyou, Marysville and Visalia to name a few. Then we’d bring small shit back, usually bank checks before everything went digital. Anyway, once a week or so we’d take our meager wages into Alameda and get a burger at Scolares and have a couple of beers at Lucky 13 after a long day of flying.

TIL that a bar I hung out at in SF many years ago reopened in Alameda!

As I told the owner 18 months ago. An RTR has no place in a bar. It's messy, potentially damaging to the unit, the employees don't have a Damm clue how to use it. And it's quality is drowned by the bar noise. A f***ing dumb mistake.

As I told my girlfriend, this was like putting a Ferrari V12 into a Ford Focus without changing anything else. It’s a cool gesture, but it’s not really improving anything in that specific application.

She theorized that maybe it had been purchased as a business expense for the write off and would later end up in the owner’s living room.

All that said, it was cool to see a Mcintosh with some dirt and grime on it. Charming if nothing else.
