  1. Mc250 and KG's do sound wonderful together.
  2. 75 watts for KHorns? yawza! Get you ear plugs! MC30's will do! Agree. 75 good tube watts will blow khorns out of the water. MC30's should be more than fine Even a MC225 would be completely adequate. Some guys drive KHorns with 10-15 tube wpc. MC275 with KHorns (@ 104db?) would be bonkers! If you have the money I guess...

  4. If it's the mc-250 at AK in Barter town, then 800 seems reasonable without shipping. It is absolutely mint and he lists the work done and who did it that indicates it is running fine. So to the above post, it is in the 650 range for cosmetics and the 200-ish for the internal work done already. It is a beauty and I love my mc-250, I may buy other amps, but I'll be hard pressed to sell mine. ^ what he said
  5. While I love my mc250, $800 is a high price (unless it has been serviced, recapped and has mint chrome) I'd say $475-650 is the fair market price depending on condition (chassis rust). Figure 200-ish for a service and recap. FYI Dewick's current wait time is pretty long.
  6. What would you estimate for shipping to NJ? jk Everything I want is always on the wrong coast.
  7. Gaaah... The Wave Radio My brother in law is aware that I am into audio and finds it nessesary to talk about his goddamn wave radio to me at every family meeting. He tells me how convenient it is to bluetooth stream mp3's to it from his iphone and how wonderful it sounds.. The only thing that I can say to him is, 'yeah, must be great' I don't have the heart to tell him his wave radio is a $500 pos. He thinks its great, I'm not one to crap on someone's pride and joy.
  8. Ahh yes, 'The Paradox Of Chioce' A hyper-accelerated consumer culture has people (mainly 30-40 yr olds) buying things or subscribing to services (electronic gadgets, kitchen tools, phone apps and etc) and then trying to figure how to integrate them into their lives. This 'gadgetization' has an infantilizing effect on many grown adults. It's quite funny/sad. If you've ever purchased a 'melon spoon', I'm talking about you. Back on topic: 'Kids' these days only know electroincs that you replace every 2-5 years. Making a long term investment into a piece of audio gear that could last a lifetime is silly nonsense to someone who replaces their phone and game console every 2 years (or less).
  9. I think that OLDTIMER maybe referring to the issues of water and veneer. Things can start peeling if the veneer glue is compromised by too much moisture or hard chemicals. Solid woods are more forgiving than paper thin glued on veneers
  10. I would. Just keep applying it until it gets darker. Wait a day in between coats.
  11. Tung oil is great and I use it on everything. It gives such a rich, natural and HARD finish. That said, stain will not penetrate the tung oil. The oil is the sealant. The stain will just sit on the tung oil and eventually will rub off with everything that touches it. Removing tung oil is a mechanical process (sanding/steel wool with mineral spirits), there is no 'stripper' for oil finishes (that works). If you were looking to go darker with your existing finish; I believe there are tinted Tung oils. Additional coats will darken your piece. Good luck.
  12. Bud man, are you selling the badges in your post?
  13. French press. I never thought much of the lowly contraption until we lost power and had to give this cave man technology a try. I haven't used the Keurig since. French press makes the smoothest and strongest coffee that I've ever enjoyed. Nothing fancy or European, it's a $20 Mr Coffee brand. Amazing. Give it a try people! As for cillis: The Thai prik kee noo pepper is fantastic. Not a super hot, very flavorful indeed.
