My buddy Wipster as some of you might have seen just hooked up with a pair of nice 87 Belles. He installed a pair of Crites x-overs which was a big improvment over ths worn out ABs that came with the Belles. I've got a pair of ALK original universals that I was going to let him try out. My question for any of you guys using universals with Belles is what tap setting on the auto-former seems to work the best?

That's a shame. Artto's Klipschorn room was a great thread. A room like that would be like a dream to me.

Oh Man! Does that mean the gigantic Klipschorn room is no more?

That is a cool looking machine. Does it work? Have you tried winding tape on to it?

Yeah I moved to Richland Washington three years ago. .

Man you guys have got some nice looking decks. The reason I got interested in this thread is that I started recording tapes on my old teac3300 recently for the first time in a number or years. A buddy of mine recently acquired a box set of all of the Beatles English imports that had never been played. I recorded what I thought was the best tracks onto two TDK reels. The sound quality on a lot of this stuff is outstanding. I'd kind of like some input as to the quality of the recordings I've made. Maybe we could do another tape swap. Any thoughts?

A LaScala bass bin requires a 4 ohm woofer. The Altec 416 is 8ohm. It will not work.

Why do you want to stain rosewood? Just sand them down and apply a clear finish. The easist finish to apply I've found is Formby's tung oil. You just wipe it on with a rag.

Here's my current set up. I'm running a Micro-Seiki DD 40 tt into a Scott LK 48 amp and a Teac 3300 SX directly into a Mac 225. I can switch between the two amps with a Niles switch. The speakers are my hybrid K horns with Altec 511 horns, 902 drivers and Beyma cp-25 tweeters.
