MicroMara Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 This weekend I'll leave the stereo off. The last 4 hours I spent with my wife and kids, we watched a 4 hour German TV show. Monday comes my HiFi friend , then we will make our " HiFi Workshop ". I had already reported a few days ago about it. Then I will still hear enough music with various amplifiers, CD players, streamers, DAC etc.. I am very much looking forward to this event next week. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you remove the 19" rack grips on the amplifier, that looks more homogeneous when the tuner is on top of the amplifier...imo .. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks mate The tuner has rack handles as well, however I have temporarily removed them so I can sand & repaint them They have a couple of small paint chips I will see what works best With or without handles is a future aesthetics test 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love my tt but when I escape the twilight zone I might give this a try. Really miss the semi-auto function. *Paul your wall of gear looks great with the combinations of gray (titanium) and black thrown in between the wood and the LS! LEDs were neat when they came out, but the dials accompanied by a knob are just great! Edited November 7, 2021 by JohnJ * 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Hmmmm, rack handles or no rack handles... All my old SAE gear had the handles but they were in an SAE rack. That industrial pro look back then but now I'm torn AND you've got me thinking about my tuner. It's an SAE 8000 digital tuner and I powered it up a while back and naturally it didn't work. Never used the thing but... ...I might. Nah, think I'll off it. Hoarder? Not me. Well maybe... 😂 On or Off? If they're on ya won't lose them... hahaha I dunno either. That wall of gear? Killer but I'm trying to downsize. As if that's gonna happen. I'd be soooo losted @ your place Paul. Ya found your happy place and it looks great! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was also thinking about loosing the handles - Have put things in a safe place, only to be so safe that they can’t be found unless by chance a few years later 🤪🤪 I need to cull my components 9 hours ago, JohnJ said: Paul your wall of gear looks great with the combinations of gray (titanium) and black thrown in between the wood and the LS!

Hello KROCK, The tapes are stored in the box. Sometimes, I'll leave a tape on the machine, but slack the tape away from the heads. That's only for the night, if it happens at all. All the reel tapes and cassette tapes are in a climate control environment. Thanks, I have two Otari 5050's A, BII and Blll. A 2 Track High Speed Revox B-77 MK-II, and a 4 track TEAC X-10R. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Grinding thru the new stack finally! Spent the day out in Sherwood Forest taking care of the leaves here and at a couple neighbors. Got a 5' Cub Cadet sweeper so just cruisin around in the nice weather. Lady next door is 97 and doesn't even come outside and another neighbor just had a couple miles of his intestine removed due to cancer. Got done in the nick of time the city showed up as I was finishing. Funny how everyone is coming out with their 50th Anniversary Greatest hits lp's now. Sure I got some since most are remastered and sound great. You'll find yourself trying to decide whether you like the studio version or the live version. They did it right again just like always. Recorded at the Beacon and Orpheum theaters live? Two great venues right there and trust me "Maxine" jumps outta my LS. Yea, ya almost gotta! Well, I did anyway. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossy bottom Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 2 hours ago, Full Range said: I also like looking at your system @Mossy bottom Keep on posting so I can see more details Thanks Full Range. Here is a photo of my main Stereo. It's currently in temp storage. I've moved, and am working on new and improved music room. Hopefully I'll have it completed in beginning of the New Year. It consists of two 1960 Dynaco ST-70's, a Tube Nirvana (Holger Audio) pre-amp and Phono stage. A VPI Prime TT, Klipschorns and Heresy's. I'm currently listening to an Outlaw Receiver, a Creek phono stage, Linn Sondek LP12 TT, and an OPPO digital player, and my trusty Cornwalls. It's all in my shop. Cheers 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Any guy that can play a free out door venue that I can hit I'm on it! As most of you know I'm talking about Albert Cummings. Smooth rock/blues and this is his latest from 2020 so I snagged it and paid him back for the free gig. It's a great album but what surprised me was he recorded it @ FAME Studio in Muscle Shoals! So yea, there's that but he called in Jim Gaines to produce it. SRV & Carlos Santana's main man. It's got that Muscle Shoals elusive midas touch recorded in the same studio as Aretha, the Allmans & so many others cranked out their magic. Great mix and worth $20 any day of the week imo. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1291 Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Ian Anderson? I though he was Jethro Tull? Wait, what? hahaha Great collection of hits and so simple to cover "some" of the bases when I'm feelin it. Have most of his stuff already but I'm too lame to pull it all out. hahaha Sure glad the table is running again and it does sound great w/the caps. Don't think I'll ever get thru this stack of stuff sittin here. lol 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
