  1. Liga Privada No9, it seems I paid $16.95 for this critter, and dam its good.
  2. That's it, im heading for the Humidor , crack the bottle of Lagavulin16 with a Guinness chaser........dam guys you.
  3. When I see the jars, I ask them because I had the same reply from a girl at Mel's drive in, the manager gets it, I said fk him, here's a $5.
  4. Birch ply or Marine ply preferred, because not breathing MDF is priceless.
  5. After seeing these photos, im going to need a theater room in the next house. believe it or not im in a 5 bedroom right now but without redoing the floor plan there just is not much we can do. the wife is happy with her Class A Mono Blocks in the living room, and since installing those, iv not even put the 7.1 back into service.
  6. Some 3/4 plywood, cardboard tubes, black felt and one weekend. Beats the "Orange Crate".
  7. My AL-3s Crites will be in Monday 1/27/14, currently im cooking an old set of Bose 301s, I miss not having the LaScallas. Great forum of knowledge we have here.
  8. Interesting thought you have there, I never really thought about what 'other' people think of my system. Built it for me, and always improving. When one of my bud's comes into the Cave, I simply ask them what their favorite tune is, once cranked they are indeed spoiled.
  9. When I got into tube amps pretty much yours reminded me of my early days. Best advice that I paid for , for years, scrap the amp, Ebay search, "Class A tube" and shop. Imported stuff is kickazz these days, and they back them up. 70 watts in my Mancave and the neighbors are at my door if I crank 10 watts from the LaScallas. Trust me, you time and your ears will thank you in the long run, out with the old in with the new.
  10. You cannot go wrong with any tube amp, you seem to have acquired the taste of them already, bird dog Ebay for a few weeks, there is nothing wrong with the imported amps. iv been running KT88s for the last 10+ years with NO problems. Besides if you think about it, you can always get your money back on a tube amp, not so much for solidstate.
  11. Makes me want to pick up another pair just to experiment with.
  12. I see these on ebay going from $2200 to $3K +. 1.7K aint bad.
  13. A few years back I paid $500 and drove 600 miles to Eugene Oregon, same speaker, this is a good deal.
  14. You can never go wrong with fresh speakers, if they don't work out you can always sell them here.
  15. Crites builds the best crossovers to date that iv come across, in 40 years. Used to build my own, compared mine to Crites one time and found his Caps were of a better quality. For the money and the time, ill just stick with Crites, perfect out of the box is a sweet deal.
  16. Two years ago my plasma died to the tune of an $800 repair, went with a 58" LED Samsung HDMI. The Plasma made for great target practice as it sit there plugged into a generator "Buzzing"!
  17. In the world of "Class A" tube that iv been running quite a wile, it amazes me the cables and "Gold Plated" stuff that is on the market. I stay out of Audiophile stores just for the reason I will likely be thrown out, as soon as I start asking a customer why in the samhell he is spending $400 on a pair of tuner to amp cables?, I just point out the same wire size good connectors for around $100, and that is what I run. Just the other day I saw an outlet, yes one of those things we have in our walls, you know, the wall socket, they were asking (and Getting) $140 bucks for these critters. the only thing special ? it was gold plated! Being in electrical engineering for the better part of 40+ years, this seller gave me the stink eye.

  19. There is a company out of HongKong, sells on ebay, soon as I go back in the house i'll get the name, and iv got to tell you there is nothing wrong with imports when it comes to tube amps. In the Ebay search box enter "Class a tube amp" YaYi amplification Mini. I paid about $700 for two mono block units. Understand this, if you have never ran tube amps for true "class A" you are about to be Spoiled and you will not go back to solid state.

  21. Here is my text of a 'Thumbs Up' because our beloved forum it seems, well I just copy/paste it: "You have reached your quota of positive votes for the day" Well excuse the chit out of me!
