  1. I can take the injuries but the Tight Ends are horrible. Sokol missing the corner blitz was horrific.
  2. After years of Upgrading MSB Link II and III DACs I found a used Channel Islands Audio VDA 2 with power supply for 400 USD. Great attack, decay and non fatigueing. Jitter that makes for poor cymbals and share drum is exceptional. I do like Burr Brown chips.
  3. 1 inch Baltic Birch! Awesome! Fortunately I have been able to make space to optimize placement. I heard the MCMs in 1977 I think. The band I was doing sound for was just a three piece acoustic group. Band bought Heresy Industrial. Traveled easier than MCM. Lol Memories fade from 40 years ago but not the 1812 Overture demo on the MCMs.
  4. No contest. That is why you rarely see Chorus IIs for sale. I bought mine 4 years before the Belles. They are in storage for my future man cave. Belles in the Living Room. Great bass and mid horn at ear level in my seating positions in the past. Very poor quality crossover components that can easily be remedied.
  5. Mark D should have started Rocky against Michigan. Lewerke shoulder was a bad decision. Watched the M game from my hotel in Tokyo live. 13 hour difference was tiring. Good to be back at the farm!
  6. Watching the game streaming at 4:15 AM Sunday Tokyo time. Green injuries abound but both defenses are playing well. Being green for 45 years I relish in little Jimmy getting beat!
  7. I met Greg. A serious woodworker and opportunist . I would not buy a used car from him.
  8. If I only worked 40 hour weeks I would rebuild the Empire with new arm board and Cuuent technology tone arm. VPI Graham or Regs.
  9. Rungren was great in hits of his own and some producing like Grand Funk. Stevie for sure. Still disgusted J Giels Band is not in. Not enough LP sales but a 3 hour live show that most hall of fame recipients could not keep up with.
  10. My wife brought it and it works good up to the point I try media center. Works 25 percent of the time to get s movie. Anyone know a good forum for help on this unit?
  11. You only gave them a week? Did you post a picture of the new configuration? I would have part of left Belle covering the brick and toed in. Have other speaker covering the structure to the right and toed in. You seem to be taking lightly the results of capacitor changes.
  12. To fiance VRDs when I was paying allot of college tuition for wife and daughter.
  13. I paid retail for mine the first month they came out. Still have them for a mini road system. Lead filled spiked stands!
  14. I work out of the home and could do the flea powered office system. Another regret of selling my H H Scott LK48.
  15. Do I really need new crossovers? Or drivers? Or horns? I love “all original”, and these are all original. 1982. AA crossovers. ..................................... Yes you need new crossover components. I listened to my belles for 1.5 years and then changed the crossovers 10 years ago. Serious improvement! Agree with FRZ comment about spacing and toeing in.
  16. My daughter is a drummer and a huge fan of Butch Walker. Nice video not to short and not too long. Good marketing to get to the younger folks! I sent her the link and posted to FB.
  17. Late winter is my upgrade time or I would jump on these. Too many fall financial commitments.
  18. If I ever get a H H Scott 130 or LC 21 preamp I will use the tone controls. 🙂
  19. Very cool. Hard to find a better tube amp at that price. I would not sell my H H Scott for $ 700. LOL
  20. The Penta Labs KT88SC works fine for me. Never felt the need to change the small tubes. Craig did some upgrades to my CJ preamp that were all positive.
  21. Good information here! Thanks. Allo seems like an interesting company. after going DAC mad for many years I settled on the MSB Link III with Channel Islands modded. In the recent year I came up with the Channel Islands DAC. Both are very low jitter fatigue to me. I do use the AQ Dragonfly with a PC for Spotify. Found the laptop sounds better running off the battery rather than plugged in. Small radio station 2 miles down the road seems to use the AC cord as an antenna or something. With Digital everything makes a difference. I was going to upgrade the OP Amps in my Link III but may just spend some money on an Allo solution. Odd that Allo does not use metal cases for shielding..... Been thinking about ROON for a few years. Most informative thread for my interest in some time. https://www.monoandstereo.com/2014/08/sparkos-labs-discrete-op-amps-review.html
  22. https://adorstore.com/ Put this made in the USA large door on my coop for the geese and ducks 5 days ago and I am very impressed.
  23. The 25 model looks OK but lacks the bias meter the 40 model has. The auto bias function can be many different things. I prefer the simplicity of manual bias.
  24. Clapton, Doobies, Rondsdtat, Still and Young, Crosby and Nash, rocking James Taylor. I forget allot. Just remembering the first time I saw B B King was at Pine Knob when I was too young to appreciate the privilege!
