Up date. Juan came over fixed the ceiling patch, put two coats of paint on the walls, and one on the ceiling and was away by 2pm. $200. I'd rather make money and let him do it. Having my second cheap Scotch (Famous Grouse). Cheers muchachos!4 points

Somehow, even if they can, I don't see one more beer added to the 30,000+ already available in the world, having any impact on the market, regardless of what the yeast flavor might be, but more power to them. I'd rather have them focus on bringing back a T-Rex so we could thin out the herd. π3 points

β¦ o O (133 year old beer technology) β¦ it's strange to think that when I had my first beer 50 yr's ago, free from my friends parents garage refrigerator, somehow I wished that Schlitz would figure out how to step up their game... but I'm pleased with Dos Equis these day's, however they do it....3 points

Today's goals were accomplished fully, with no flaws : Rewired the complete system into a 5.1 Bi-Amp'd configuration, using 10 Carver Pro ZR1600 MONO Blocks ! Labeled every single Cable (...that's both ends of every single cable ) Labeled every Input + Output on all of the 11 amps. Time aligned all the K-402 Horns with their Bass Bins, using my XILICA XP-4080 DPS's ; applying Chris' recently shared formula / a 4th order Crossover / REW Spectrogram . Thank You CHRIS for all the guidance; ...everything was spot on, as anticipated. Here is a picture of my stacked amp racks, I rewired today ! This Anvil rack holds the 6 amps needed for the front stage L/C/R Jubilees ! This rack stacks on top of that Anvil, and holds the 4 amps needed for the KHorn Bass bins/K-402 SURROUNDs , as well as, a Crown MacroTech VZ3600 Mono Block, for my Danley TH-50 sub. ALL of these amps are stacked outside the upstairs Jubilee Room . TOMORROW's Goals: Time align each speaker bank, corresponding to the listen position ! Then, set all the AMP levels with REW SPL Meter. Begin the TUNING... Have a great weekend , everyone ! ~Rock on , Craig3 points

BEER FROM 1886 SHIPWRECK MAY YIELD NEW BREW A bottle from a 133-year-old shipwreck may yield yeast for a new brew in upstate New York. CLOSINGS: View Closings BEER FROM 1886 SHIPWRECK MAY YIELD NEW BREW A bottle from a 133-year-old shipwreck may yield yeast for a new brew in upstate New York. Posted: Feb. 16, 2019 7:44 AM Posted By: The Associated Press COBLESKILL, N.Y. (AP) - Ahoy, beer lovers: A bottle from a 133-year-old shipwreck may yield yeast for a new brew in upstate New York. Biotechnology students at the State University of New York at Cobleskill uncorked a bottle from the shipwrecked SS Oregon on Thursday. Serious Brewing Company of Howes Cave plans to develop a new brew if the students successfully extract yeast. Bill Felter, of Serious Brewing, acquired the beer from a customer who owns an assortment of artifacts recovered from the Oregon. The ship was en route from Liverpool, England, to New York City with 852 people aboard on March 14, 1886, when it collided with a schooner near Fire Island, New York, and sank. All but one person survived.3 points

Hope you haven't missed out by now with all of this jabbering.....IMHO, offering $1K less than asking is a bit low....start with $2400......the combo with the Marantz should sound great, you might have to turn your volume dial to 3......3 points

If Juan does not want to do it themselves Juan can hire Juan and get it done just as Juan wants because Juan knows what Juan expects when Juan is hired.3 points

I have one back together now and it is glorious. To be honest, I didn't believe that a couple of loose bolts, some dust bunnies and some capacitors were going to make any difference but they certainly sound better now! The bass speakers were bottoming out before and now at least on this first speaker it is booming and no longer muddy. Can't wait to get them both up and running now. I may have make room for them somewhere. The garage has a flat roof (like the house) and so has no space above the rafters. Anything above the rafters would technically be considered outdoors. I may have to rearrange the living room.2 points

Congratulations. We all showed up around the same time. Looks like I joined in March of '04 and a month later had already gotten into tubes. I had more money before I came here.2 points

This speaker is a current production model, not a kit for "home builders". Do you think it's appropriate to encourage people to make knockoffs of current premium-level Klipsch speakers on the Klipsch forum?2 points

Yeast can be dormant for a long time. Fermentable sugars and the right temperature can bring them back. Not sure they can go that long, though.2 points

Personally I have no idea between those two particular players, but there is NO REASON why a modern player should not be doing both duties at a high level. There are MUCH MORE expensive CD players, but up to a very acceptable level for most of us, a single player can do both very competently.2 points

Not if you have enough power behind it. Just start out really loud and anything less than that is considered cordial by your neighbours.2 points

Well, I ran the amp for about two hours this morning with the 6L6GC's. I checked the bias afterwards and they were all at 45 VDC including the one that was in the position of the 7581A in question. I will fire them up later and check again. A friend of mine has a couple of calibrated tube testers. I will see if he has time to check it provided they will test that particular tube.1 point

I got another great deal on the used sites. I grabbed a nice pair of DT Mythos Ones and a pair of Sixes. I then dug one of my DT SuperTower STs out of storage for a center channel. Itβs hard to tell but below both statues are DT SuperCubes. So far I have been thoroughly impressed with the huge ST tower acting as the center. I will have to compare this center to one of my Ultra2 650βs (sold off a few last month but I still have a couple sitting in my storage room) but judging but my movie experience the past few days, the nod is headed towards the ST. I love my Ultra2βs and that will end up in my dedicated home theater, if that dream ever materializes. This ST just seems to be hitting a some type of sweet spot for me at the moment, in this tiny room. The ST is huge though, at about 48β tall so that likely where the slight advantage might be. Not today but I grabbed all of those items in the past few days. Not really a fan of how high the center is above the tv so I am going to lower it about 4β, so the tweeter is about 4β another the TV.

No, that's looks good. I saw a nature demo and the greens looked really fake and almost fluorescent. Bad demo I guess.1 point

We use 2 different sets of speakers fo outside depending on how crazy is required. 396's alone can easily get you in trouble One is just a set of Heresy's in the garden tiki bar (permanently), it gets used the most outside Two is for when we need to get serious, this can also be set out by the bar if needed or out in the yard. It's MWM bottoms with DIY split LaScala tops and can fill this 6 acres and more. It can run like in the pic or separated one top one bottom, either way sounds good. Old pic, people are probably tired of seeing it..........there portable1 point
