Kind of odd that Dylan is in Pittsburg and I'm in Cincinnati isn't it, lol.

Dylan, To say I'm shocked would be an understatement. That piece is the original off of my McIntosh. Where in the world would I find another. My email is still (rtaylor25@cinci.rr.com) and I have not received any emails from you for a year or so. Randy

Hi, Long time no see. Sorry to say that my computer crashed and burned and I lost everyones email and all. Just didn't try to get it all together until recently. I haven't seen or heard from Dylanl for quite some time and don't know how to get in touch with him. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it,,,,and what is this with maxg and a soldering iron? Randy

There are kits out there that would be better for a grunt like you or I . Had 2 MK-II's that I rebuilt from scratch. Without the manuals and help from the manufacturer and others from this forum I would not have been able to finish it. Finding the old iron in my opinion would be the first step. I have some parts left over from my project if you might need something. Randy

The size of the Lascalas (depth) is possibly one reason for the Belles popularity with some. I like the looks of the Belles better but it doesn't fit in the space I have for speakers, neither do the K-horns. Wouldn't Trey or Amy let this cat out of the bag here? Randy

Wow, nice steal on this. Just got back in and missed it by a mile.

OK, I get it now. I have to increase the frequencies before the amp other wise all the other frequencies would have to be attenuated. Is there a simple way for me to do this? Or is a quality equalizer the answer. I've always tried to keep away from adding any more stages in the system. Sorry for all the questions but I'm a simple man with a beer in hand. Randy

And the original AL's from 86. I can build some from scratch if neccessary.

OK, need some help here. Can the AA's or AL's that I have here be modified for the bass bin mod? Do I need an equalizer? Does anyone have a diagram of the mod if it is possible? Thanks everyone, Randy EDIT: This is for 1986 Lascala's with the K33 and unstock AA's hopefully.

Craig, I believe Trey was talking about a FENDER guitar amp and driving it into mild distortion (which is good). I'm looking for a small distortion box myself, Fender preferably. Your amps wouldn't fare well doing duty as a guitar amp Craig, not enough distortion! Randy

I concur, beautiful! And the speakers look ok too.

And lastly, if you can't do a blind listening test then BS to viva la difference. Just kiddin' fella's.

So then , for some unknown reason, if none of the foregoing is correct, why are there are only one or two cables out of at least a dozen I have, I can sit down and enjoy becasue the tonal balance is better than that of others cables in the box and I'm not refering to subtle differences .. and I have no bias towards any of the cables other than the results I hear and they are not exotic types by any means. If all those cables sounded the same I would not be trying to flog a dead horse .. so I'm finished with this and bid you farwell. ---------------- Last input indeed! Liar, liar, liar. You almost had me tricked into going to the dark side.

Sorry I haven't said anymore about the mod but I haven't had a chance to (haven't got off my butt) buy any stuffing yet. As is I haven't noticed any loss in attack or loudness. An increase in some very low end is noticed. As stated before the speakers sounded a tad more forward at first but now I'm not so sure I heard it. Promise to get some stuffin' and try shortening the tube to 7 inches. Don't have an instument to measure differences. Randy
