I have been having a lot of fun with my new Inspire Universal SET rmlowz

I couldn't go 2 miles if she was chasing me, I would just give up and get bit way before 1/4 mile.

Bottlehead SEX 2.0, uses two 6DN7 tubes for a total of 2 watts, very quiet and also functions well as a head amp.

A two mile run at 110* who is the worse for wear me or her? I get rum.

When you're down on your luck And you can't harmonize Find a girl With faraway eyes

Bottlehead Seductor kit, EL84 tubes, four watts. On the right is the Quickie, battery powered preamp.

It's a little early to hit the sauce but why not, I need to catch up with Travis.

Breadboards? Here's a SRPP using a 6SL7 to drive a 71A. DC heating, because directly heating with 5 volts AC is a challenge I really doubt I can pull off. Polypropylene/oil caps used for cathode/filament bypassing. James universal OPTs. The circuit shined on my LaScalas I had at the time. Not much gumption at 800 milliwatts a side, but it sure had a nice sound.

The first is my everyday amplifier, a conventional type of OTL amplifier using 6C33C output tubes. I quite like the second one too; again OTL, using 6082 output tubes. The novelty with this one is that there are no transformers at all; it runs directly from the mains supply. It's based on one of the earliest OTL designs, by Dickie and Macovski in 1954. Regretfully, my constructions tend to be rather utilitarian in comparison to some of the beautiful ones built by others!

Welborne Labs Moondogs 2A3 amps. Mullard GZ37 rectifiers, 6sn7 driver tubes (overkill, a single would have been enough).

Dynaco ST-70 series II

Many thanks Have family popping in and out today But I got a couple of plays in the morning

Breadboard 6GW8 SE amplifier.

The "Sanford and Son" theme song popped into my head when I saw this topic.

From the vault LP #16 of over 30 @dirtmudd you have a story about this album and that movie This album is from 1979 and has that famous song - An Englishman In New York Very enjoyable album in the Art Rock / Prog genre And some very cool cover art ( I took the photo under light to enhance the colours) Artist - Godley And Creme Title - Freeze France Album ID - https://www.discogs.com/Godley-Creme-Freeze-Frame/release/5194290

*Should say MY new gear vs vintage gear. Out of curiosity played an album on my current stereo and same album on previous stereo from 1980. I’m relieved that I didn’t waste money. Was surprised at how much better the new stuff sounded. Night and day difference. Just had the Yamaha CR-1020 professionally cleaned/Re-capped/ brought into spec too.

Hey all, I’m very excited to have just purchased a used set of Khorns. Stock 77 raw birch that was finished by someone along the line. They are in good working order, really happy with the what they can do so far. The only thing I’m still sorting out is how to get the the tops to throw further back into the room. As of now I’m really only getting the imaging I’m looking for about 6 ft or so from the front wall. I’d really like to sit back at least 10 ft or so. They sit along a 13’ wall. The room length is 14’. In my music production work I typically set up near fields in an equilateral triangle and try to sit directly inside it, usually along the front wall of a room. I treat the front wall, first reflections and have a cloud on the ceiling. This set up is no that of course. My goal is to listen on the Khorns in a less analytic way and more visceral way, but I have missed the image I usually get from being in that triangle. I have pretty good corners for the low end section but I’ve been experimenting with twisting the tops out a bit, which seems to help, but I would like to keep full Khorn angled together. Im thinking false corners in perfectly good corners seems like a bit much, but I’m wondering if I could build one half for the front wall that essentially tilts the corner outward reducing the overall angle to 75 or 80 degrees...anyone have any experience with that?I’ll keep experimenting but any insight appreciated!

KLF-30 for $1100, includes original boxes. I live down the steet from this seller, so if any of you want me to have a look or assist with the purchase please let me know. https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/csw/ele/d/saint-michael-klipsch-klf-30/7191298610.html

I reset my Marantz late last night. Too late to run the Audyssey Program. Gee, I think my speakers sound better without this. I have a mixture of soft & hard surfaces in the room so it seems to be OK as far as I'm concerned. Without the Audyssey, the highs and bass are much cleaner. I also think the dynamics are better. I'm using no tone controls at all. These 5 speakers are Rocking Baby.

I'll check youtube for it before my premium trial ends @oldtimer Editor in Chief? @dirtmudd Good music! I'm not intoxicated today, what I have here is the last of the LP haul that was cleaned and not played yet. Have an appointment tomorrow at the record store and unfortunately Argus was the only Wishbone that made the cut to stay, not tunes wise but condition of vinyl. *Nope I'll take those two skips- one on each, and keep them, they're good! Next up early 70s folksy stuff that is fun and reminiscent of the Dead. This one was held together with packing tape long ago, the strings from inside were coming out, took most off and put gorilla tape so the record couldn't slip out. Sleeve P Media VG

In the film it was clearly in the area of DFW.

Klipsch was supposed to help add sound to McLaren's driver aid practice machine, but the pandemic halted that....still hope that works out. It meant an engineer would have to go to England and work with the McLaren team. Sounds like a nice adventure, especially for a British engineer that loves F1 racing 😀

Definitely one of my most favorite songs Brian! *

Lazy day today, categorized some stuff and am getting ready for my continued adventures. Wishbone Ash today: Starting with Argus that I recalled when played a hundred pages back by someone else. Then have Four and Pilgrimage to go, they're pretty inventive with their sound!

I came here looking for a new and improved deodorant. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Well heck, I came here hoping for train engines.

Lord I'm hypnotized.

let's keep this train ride going....

Congrats. Very happy for Gasly and his fans. That race was actually exciting without the Mercedes up front.

Gasly Winner YEAHHHHHHH !!! Sainz 2

This is the most promising product I've found. It's a top coat.

Congrats on the sale! I was very tempted by this need to go this route sooner or later..

My Cary SLi50 1996 first version 2x30W pure Classe A, era and design Dennis Had 😍

Well that's better should be able to get more done. Hot here also 94 today but the humidity was also in the 80's.

Well, was a balmy 115 today. Sun was wicked hot. Work on the next wall went real slow. Back at it tomorrow, supposed to only be 114

I'm enjoying #14 right now @Full Range Thanks!

From the vault LP # 15 of over 30 Now playing something very very smooth Saxophone so smooth with a hint of echo is so relaxing for a warm afternoon like this Artist - John Klemmer Title - Touch Album ID - https://www.discogs.com/John-Klemmer-Touch/release/3771713

I was mentioning to the fellows on RTM just now that I was going to listen on the BRAND NEW Klipsch RP-600M stand mounts, but then, I realized that the Rega is NOT connected to the Marantz AVR, but the new Parasound p6 preamp! , so, I am enjoying it for a first listen through the Martin Logan ESL 9's ... What a recording! But, for your pleasure, here is a photo of the new 600M which has been all the rage on youTube by the reviewers. I bought them for the theater rig, but they are very good for music. These are in the walnut finish.

Well, well my friends! It has been WAY TOO LONG since my last visit here, but whenever I spin vinyl in RTM, I always make it a point to come here with a little gallery of what is spinning as I type here now.... This classic LP.....

Hey guys On The Fly is just fine the only thing is you'll most likely get a electric spark sound out of your speakers. It's not spark going to your speakers its just the amplifier reproducing the sound of the connection change.
