Chiff and Fipple Forums

I'm curious about the process of restoring something like this. I know nothing about how it's done.

I love coffee. I can drink it black, but I like just a trace of milk or cream. I drink 3 cups of caffeinated before noon and usually a cup or 2 of decaf before bedtime. If I can't sleep, I make a cup of decaf and it settles me down. There's a brewer at work. At home, I use a french press when I have...

I appreciate the discussion. We've been on the air a long time. There may be an older music-related board out there some place. I think the instrument exchange piece is useful to people, but I've always been a bit bothered by folks who register for the sole purpose of selling something. Can't really...

I'm reading about brussel sprouts based guacamole. That I get.

Sometimes there are surprises along these lines. I've done the mashed cauliflower thing as a substitute for mashed potatoes. Done properly, it works.

To hear this news makes me sad. Walden held a very special place on Chiff & Fipple. Reading the tributes here, and especially Dale's, made me think what legacy I left behind when I successfully completed my twelve-step program to quit the chiffboard. Certainly not a legacy of unmitigated kindne...

As of just a minute ago, I note that this C&F board has more 1,100,000 posts, and change. More than 93,000 topics. And more than 12,000 members. Of course, most of those members joined, maybe never posted, maybe posted once or twice, and then moved on. But, any way you crunch the numbers, this b...

I emailed the person who started the gofundme campaign and asked for an update. Nothing heard. That was 3 days ago.

The effort to help out Walden's family financially has pretty much reached its goal and it looks to me that is largely due to C&F people. My thanks to everyone who contributed and who have kept Walden in your thoughts and/or prayers. He's been an institution around here from the beginning and is...

So sorry. A wonderful guy. I've known him since the earliest days of C&F.

This is sad, indeed. Great instruments and a lovely, lovely man.

Dothan, Alabama. Do you live in Dothan? If not, what were you doing in Dothan?

A mixer? Maybe not. First, I am no expert in this area, but I have some practical experience. Let me throw out a few ideas for the group's consideration. Traditional mixers have their place. And I have no intention of giving my up. But the trend in home and portable recording is away from mixers to...

I'm researching equipment to record podcasts directly to a Macbook. I need a two- (or ideally, 3-, or 4-) microphone setup and whatever kind of mixer is required for this kind of thing. I need capabilities to do 2 kinds of podcasts. In the first, I'd call people and record the conversation. In the s...

Any ideas?

Let's go with dividing into flame war hawks and flame war doves.
