The Dude

My plans since it seems that it has been modified before and I don't have to worry about ruining it. I will build a new baffle to fit my H.H. Scott 299, I was thinking of picking up a Scott fm tuner. And of coarse find a table that will fit in the opening, which was wondering if anyone had any ideas what to put in there. Here's a pic of the table opening.

I all ways like the look of some of the vintage stereo consoles. I was scanning cl like I do on a regular basis when I came across add for a Bozak C-305 with out any components. The day I decided to call on it the fellow dropped the price tremendously, so I grabbed it. I wondered what components were actually in at one point. After I got it home it appears someone else at one point modified as the baffle had been replaced, and the turntable mount had been raised. I think at one point these came with a Dual table but not sure on the model. Well here is some pics.

I second Electro Harmonix, as I run them in my Sp6 tubes4hifi pre amp. I don't have anything to compare to, I just know I all ways liked preferred the sound of a tube preamp over a solid state pre. Now I have not herd a tube pre matched with a tube stereo but I am sure it sounds wonderful.

Ok I will take some this evening, I don't have the phono stage yet as I am trying to plan for when I do get it. I have a idea what might work for now. I will pick up some supplies this evening on my way home. I know I have been down this road before but just couldn't decide how to tackle it. But for now to have a phono section something needs to be done.

I understand what you are saying. I just come across some boxes sometimes that just aren't the right size. I can put all three cards in the chassis I have now, and put the transformer in a separate box, which I might do for now. I have my eye on a chassis its just having the funds.

I uses the 12x4, and has a separated power supply. I was just going to stack the phono card and line stage card.

I had built a pre amp kit from tubes4hifi.com One of the last parts is to install the phono preamp, for this I need a bigger chassis. I have a aluminum case that is the same width, and depth. But it is over twice as tall, so if the cards have the same bolt patteren could I stacked them. Would this cause any sound issues, or heat issues with the 12ax7 tubes. Thanks Nick

How do you like that Dayton 1" compression driver compared to the Selenium d220ti. Is there much difference between them. What does it mean that the Dayton is a compression driver.

I couldn't agree more, I always like some good lows. But I love some crunchy mids.

Maybe it's because women statistically can hear the hfs at much lower SPLs than men -- have you considered that? ya my wife hears everything I say under my breath, it seems to get me in a lot of trouble.

Top notch.

Duder - some might say I've been lost for years. I'm not just crazy, I'm sure I'd have no trouble proving it. No No I love it, makes feel like I am not the only one that is nuts at times. Good thing I don't type as well cause there cant be 2 H.M. Murdock flying this plain[].

Were losing him, were losing. Clear...............................................

I have used several, common electric from home depot, blue point, craftsman, and now one made for snap on with the Cat name slapped on it. I liked them all and all worked as long as I owned them. The craftsman I owned was a great multimeter I bought around black Friday which is coming up in about a month, for 10.00 normally 20.00, the only reason I don't have it along with the others. Is they do not hold up to getting ran over by jlgs e400aj's. Which I don't think you would have to worry about that. Other then that as long as they have good features and a good name then you shouldn't have to worry.

You must be running out of places for new projects. Those look nice, good luck on the sale.

Very nice, and happy birthday. I love that shirt I hope to have one someday.

I was just going to ask about this, I am heading there right now. Anything to try and win a new pair of headphones.

I love it, I just might copy you someday.

And housewares, clothes, a lot like they do here. The one I went to in Nanchang, was two stories, and very roomy. Lots of help if you needed it. Everything still made in China (a private joke, of sorts...). Always a busy store. THey have two in the city of about 4 million. Ineresting that there are NO Walmarts in the Philippines, wehre my wife is from.Bruce I didn't mean anything by that, just kind of how a news special put it.

Heres the one I was thinking of plus a couple other links that give you ideas. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/p/56046/542352.aspx#542352 http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/57909.aspx?PageIndex=1 Hope this helps.

I've been to a WM in China. Pretty interesting stores...Bruce I heard they sell a lot of rice and fresh food, they say the Chinese go to the market 3 times a day were as Americans go about 3 times a week so they meet the needs of the Chinese, I think thats kind of cool. I personally try to avoid Wal-mart. I would think like other dealers there are contingencies such as you can't have a dealer with in some many miles of one another, and since you see wal-marts on about every corner these days your wouldn't see McIntosh there, unless you don't have a McIntosh dealer in your area then at least they are bringing one to ya.

I used the cleats on a speaker about the same size and weight of the Heresy, I don't know what material they used my speakers were mdf. I just used some good wood screws, and one cleat. If you don't plan on selling the Heresies or don't want to ruin the backs. You could make some new backs store the old ones. Drill holes in positions of the holes of the cleats and use t nuts on the back side for some #10 or 1/4" bolts to mount the cleat to, that would hold. I know PSG did something quit nice if you have a room behind were you mount them what he did would work, as well as angling them down 15 degrees as high as you can. Or you can make a french cleat with a 15 degree angle. I think someone else did some thing like that. I hope all that makes since, I know I am kind of rambling.

I all ways wanted to try one of their kits, I think it should't be to hard. Dee if you want I might have a couple of boards you can try on. I had made a couple of these. http://diyaudioprojects.com/Solid/12AU7-IRF510-LM317-Headamp/'>http://diyaudioprojects.com/Solid/12AU7-IRF510-LM317-Headamp/ My first one I messed up on and print on the second board didn't turn out as good as I wanted I have to drill out the holes for the second but you can stuff it with your hearts content or even follow the design and see if you can make it work. I picked up all the parts online and from the shack for less then 50.00. I made the boards from scratch its kind of tricky but when done right its fun and neat for the fact that you made your own board. Heres the link from the main sight there are a lot of other projects out there the might be up your ally. http://diyaudioprojects.com/ PM me your address if your interested. Nick

Let me see if I have this right. If you have 2 video sources, Satellite, and dvd/vcr combo. Then I would run optical from both sources to the hk, then the video to the tv. You really don't need audio from the tv or going to it since you will be using your hk for audio out put. That should give you the best connections and simplest. A word of advice, if you are going to be using your receiver for tv/movie watching it may be in your best interest to upgrade to a AVR next time you decide to spend some cash.

Canyonman thanks for the heads up I will watch for one when I have some money to blow. One question, why is there only 13 albums but the new one coming out has 16.
