Good evening friends! Friday evening here, got my glass of vino, and decided on Clutching At Straws, a 180gram, remastered beauty.

Another sign of life from me , have brought part of my equipment to my good friend with whom I currently live. To his Mini Utopia and his Transrotor " FatBob " we have connected my external MI / MM / MC Trichord phono stage, my DYNACO PAS 4 tube preamplifier, my Cayin tube monos, my Marantz PM11-S3 SS , my Marantz SA11-S3 CDP and optionally my GoldNote M 9 Class D monos. We have also wired the entire system with my power- rca as well as speaker cables . The French Mini Utopia sound really great and have even for this size a fantastic bass foundation. We have what the music listening is really fun 😊 We´re playing with the gear and listen to music a lot .

Agree, but the purpose of this setup isn't critical listening. My Khorns are setup in a well treated space. This is meant as nothing more than a bar room type sound, and that they do well! Nothing like some Waylon Jennings on Heresies, a glass of whiskey and a game of pool!

Disc One has concluded and I will continue with disc 2 tomorrow evening, as I am headed off to bed for the night. Rest well everyone 🌙

Disc ONE, Side A on the UTurn custom. ...and tonight's VIBE photo at the moment...

Inside the gatefold......nothing left out

The parking lot was a police station.

These are some pics of the new 300B amplifier that Aric Kimball (Aric Audio) has been building for me. It is burning in right now and is scheduled to ship out to me on Monday. Very excited.

.

@Peter P.you shamed me into it...but it needed to be done. Shelves are reworked now. I built some brackets, screwed into studs. And of all things, used a level! Hahaha Rope is gone! Painted the slant risers black and screwed through from the bottom of the shelf. Nothing will vibrate off.

Just a short retort...had a great time at the reunion...160 showed + spouses. We had the whole place, kicked the normal patrons out. My buddy parked his refurb'd '45 Mack fire truck out front so everybody could find it.

I would think 7/8th of an inch marine plywood is better than 1 inch MDF …………but I never did test them.

Makes no sense JJ ...I tried it much more than twice allready ..it´s done, it´s over, I´m finished !

Hot dang...

Whoa; even I didn't expect something that classy!

Apologies if this is posted elsewhere on the site; a quick search didn't find it. Here's a site with over 250,000 recordings of live music: https://archive.org/details/etree

Did you ever solve the hum issue with the Aretha? Mine hums too.

Things are not built to that Standard today A friend has a Breast Buy fake Marantz receiver ..When pushed at all It gets hot and goes into " protect,". 🙄🙄🙄

Yeaaaaaaas, just wait a bit and he'll jump into LS or Khorns. PWK's gonna reel another one in. Prove me wrong! 😂 💪

Well it's Thursday (ETA of Tuesday) and no OP. I hope he hasn't gone into aural overdose with those new horns.

Also, look at the Alerts section right here to look at recent sales of similar speakers. Anywhere from 25 to 45 hundred depending on condition/model/year.

Thanks. I was a little apprehensive about the power output in the beginning because my room is on the larger size and I listen at pretty loud volumes at times. But Aric assured me this is no ordinary 300B amp and you can see how much detail has gone into the power supply. I had him do several upgrades over the standard amp he builds, it should be a beast. Well at least as much of a beast as 9 wpc will get you.

Good evening / morning friends! Just winding down to listen to some music on the UTurn and system from Denmark. So, brought up some LP's from the library. Right now, it is YES. Side A begins.....

ALL I can say is holy sheet this is the TOTAL package! On side 1 of the Japan tour starts off w/"Superstition" and just keeps rollin. Freaking great already and Beck's' slayin it. Haven't jumped into who's doing what yet but I'm sittin here shaking my head. Soooo darn clean and tight, amazing soundstage and runnin 70-80db's consistantly. Amazeballs at just how perfectly this has been done. Crazy good. Double thumbs up for sure so ya better jump all over it. Now Beck's just runnin those high notes slayin it. Yea, it's perfection and time to flip to side 2. MORE goodness! I'm done & you better get huntin if you haven't ordered it. Thank me later! F it forget the weiners buy 2 and be done w/it! It just doesn't stop! When they're gone they're gone! Forget the weiners!

Keep telling yourself that. If you really believe it, then it'll be true for you.

@Scott Grammer, Head on over to Audio Karma, there are fewer toes to step on over there.

A third prototype for reference and assuming this is the behemoth version? Mr. Schu's feet for scale.

Bob Gibson the baseball player? I met him in 1972 in Bad Godesberg, Germany and got his autograph.

that 1978 Pioneer SX1280 is a phenomenal piece of gear , have fun

Yeah that’s a big jump. I predict your socks will be sufficiently knocked to the other side of the room. That said, the CW IV will deserve something better than the Pioneer. You’ll reap rewards for upgrading electronics.

If you can’t hear a difference, consider yourself money ahead and just relax and enjoy the cheapest one and sell anything else. As for me, I can hear it and have long since lost my way in the rabbit hole. There’s no hope for me, so save yourself……

Here is how I spent my Sunday morning. A big shout out to Dean for the parts. The cedar boards I cut from a log I have had in my shop for over 10 years. I knew it would come in handy one day. Anyway, I would change a couple things, if I were ever to do this again, but over all not bad for something that gets hidden away inside a pair of Heresy's.

Thanks Roy, big praise coming from someone who has forgotten more versions of speakers, than I have ever known.

Rosewood

You can betcher boots on that.

I fully expect 20" or more by in the AM. Looking forward to it! Only one rolling blackout here and that was yesterday AM. It's been in the upper 20s since so I don't expect more. We have 12" already and it's snowing an inch an hour.

Not mine, but really nice footage from today.

My home growing up about an hour ago.

Building a Losi Rock Rey rock racer.

I sent you a message. As to the filament, I only know these are gold plated grid. I have not read anywhere the type of structure and it cannot be viewed because of the construction of the tube.

Here is one of my Antique Sound Labs 845 mono blocks.

My DIY 2A3 SET amp.

Tragic

WOW. Was this with your PLX2? I'd almost wager that statement is amp dependent. Even RF-5's pound and go relatively deep with a hundred watts or two.
