The vintage room

Here is my DIY system. I built the preamp, the amp and the Cornwall III replicas.

Back from the dead, an old thread lives again. I haven't posted in this thread in many many years. The only constant is change and my systems evolve over time. My living room

That's a very respectable avatar you have there Jim.

snow in Florida occasionally washes up on shorein burlap bags... now time for afternoon coffee.. just trying it figure out which cup to use....

Happy Friday All! FINALLY got some snow on the ground in south central AK, it's been too long! We had some Christmas rains which just weren't effective for getting into the spirit of the season. Saw the new Star Wars last night so I'd like to start posting some of the most significant spoilers right now. First of all, finding out that... Just kidding - I have a heart! (for those that even care about Star Wars) Coffee is better when there's snow on the ground. Have a wonderful weekend!

Well it's one of those days when I think I'll turn on the drinking light early

Mike, you might as well use the largest one, it will probably save you a trip or two.

Yes, happy Friday! Cannot even begin to imagine your state without a lot of snow. Snow in Florida would put me in the spirit. Hope you have a white Christmas, if that is what is wanted. Good day!

And, that's probably for the best.... Try to enjoy yourself, no matter how much you're spending.....been there, done it once, and only once.....

I hate to disturb the 0000 shown on my LES. Few will get that.

It's about time you spent some hours at sea on something larger than a fishing boat.....

I have a feeling you didn't get that from the travel brochure, sounds like fun.

Morning. Seems to be some testy folks around lately. Last day of work before setting sail to Cozumel with flamenco dance lessons, Legionnaires Disease, engine room fires, bilge water and EXPENSIVE beverages.

Moving on to some new age prog with a medieval flavour A very relaxing album to sit and listen to - Similar to Camel Snow Goose and hints of Rick Wakeman- also this record pressing has great SQ Artist - Mannheim Steamroller Title - Fresh Aire II

OK; "I am an old fart." But ... still can hear 20Hz to 17kHz ... and even more after some wine

The modern man I guess, has forgot the motto," deny, deny, deny".

Come on Professor - medium. You know - not hot, not cold; not full, not empty; not here, not there; not drunk, not sober; not black, not white. You know - medium.

There have been times when vodka has persuaded me to talk with other spirits also. Actually thought I had died and was heading to the "spirit in the sky". Awoke clinging to a porcelain spirit much closer to ground level.

Vodka that can talk to other spirits.

100 down and 5 up at home. We overpay for any internet in this town because there's only two. And they both suck.

Added Cornwalls to my heritage line today. Couldn’t wait to hook them up, so they are in a temporary spot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Stay away from that soldering iron then

It's Happy Hour somewhere

That's true, but no one thought to put limits on it before then.....another example of Big Brother sticking their nose in where it doesn't belong.

Mine slows down whenever a crossover thread is started

I'm dying over here. Kids Christmas play at 6:30, then I'll be getting into the Glenfiddich!

Correct! Not low or high...good afternoon...

Sorry Zeus - but the cane bubble burst long ago. Getting in now with the current P/E is pure foolishness. I've since cashed in and the view from my beachfront outside Phoenix is something to behold. Ahh, the smell of sand in the morning ---

They already know. We're not that complex.

Sounds familiar. Back in my drinking days (was a Olympic Gold Medalist back in the 80s) I would order a beer, a Crown and Coke, and a shot of Crown just to get started

Wardsweb....I can't decide which photo I like better, they're all spectacular!

Something completely different

Never had any of those; but, still felt judged. A shot of Tequila with a second shot as a chaser is a nice order.

Can't forget the Jubs

yes and Cousin to James Davis, Classical Guitarist

Sold pending pickup / payment tonight.

Part of the record haul sent by Mike is a 12” promotional single in 33.3 Speed The record has the same track on both sides and has two side 1’s Artist - Alice Cooper Title - Give It Up

I also ran 1x3 front to back on the top and bottom of the speaker. Then I used 1x3 from the bottom to the top attaching and the bracing into 1. I also used blocks for a little more re enforcement for the top to bottom braces. Did I mention dry fitting before gluing? Even insert your drivers and x-overs to make sure there is no interference. I had no issues but I am so glad I checked before everything. Now that I am done the bracing I started on the finish. Sanded cabinets with 220 grit sand paper. I went very unconventional with my stain of choice. I love it, you may not. 3 coats of stain then onto 10 coats of water based urethane. I sanded using a medium synthetic abrasive pad every couple of coats. Sand light. Just scuff. It's not hard to go through multiple layers of finish. Now it is time to re-assemble. I did 1 panel at a time starting with the fronts. I used 1x2 boards (so as not to damage the finish) and 4 bar clamps. Use lots of glue but not to much. I had some squirt out the front of the panel. Pain in the but to clean and if it dries good luck. I left clamped for 8 hours. There are various times out on the internet. Glue says 2 hours so I did 8 just to feel safe. Happy time! Time to re-assemble. Screw all drivers in the way you took them out. Tighten but don't over tighten, you don't want to strip screw holes. Hook it up and enjoy! Side note. I lost about .46 cu ft of box space. I went a little over board but I was not concerned with low end bass. That's what subs are for. The bass is awesome now anyway. I'm not concerned with a few hz. Anyhow. I'm sure I've left some stuff out but I wanted to try to help a fellow speaker enthusiast out. Take a great speaker with poor glue and make it great again.

I cannot pick and choose my parents LOL...My twisted thoughts are my own

You've had all this time to prepare a rebuttal and that's all you got? Wait till I tell Carl. Hey Carl where are you?

Right---meaningless.

I've never had any of the three but pretty sure I'd like the Hangar One the best. There's not a lot of grain vodkas I really like.

I just bought some Opulent and some Hangar One on deep discount, plus a special message ticker label Medea. Which is best?

Sort of like a slushie.....nothing special.

What does "medium" mean?

New crossovers from Bob Crites....KLF-30. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Yep. Soaked them in the tub with some mild dish soap and they look brand new and smell great too!

There is always someone ....who thinks they know everything.....Wow listening fatigue......I usually use my tone controls before tearing my speakers apart.......but that's just me George
