What I Got Today!


Brac

Recommended Posts

Well, yesterday actually, but got to play with her today.  She sounds puuurdy!  I know it's cliche', but has a very tube-like sound. (probably means needs a re-cap, lol) I've always been into more of "new HIFI" but this vintage kick I've been on has felt mighty rewarding.

Visited McIntosh Audio, Tom Manley, a week ago to pick up my new amp. Terry Dewick had gone through it months ago but I had to wait until the "Safer at Home" order was relaxed. Filled the Pre-amp section with NOS Mullards and left in the RCA outputs. Hooked it up to my MX110 and Chorus II's, after hearing it wife said purchase approved! Made a huge difference in bass over the MC30's. Also picked up an MPI 4 and am learning to use it.

I don’t think the L2800 has backhoe does it ? I found out you have order these sub compact with backhoe that can’t be added because kubota adds metal to frame at time of build .

No backhoe, they make one for it but I never got it, it was almost the cost of the tractor. Probably right about the metal frame, even with my front end loader there was kind of a frame that came with for it to mount in a few places.

I got the quick disconnect loader because I could make some attachments for it, made a frame with a deck to haul a generator around and a set of forks which is very handy. I use the forks today to help the people across the street move a bunch of branches from trimming trees, they were dragging them, moved them all in about 30 minutes and made them happy.

Ken Rockwell makes a living reviewing different things, he also does cameras and lenses. To be honest he knows what he is talking about with cameras, not sure about anything else it is all I have read from him.

A little late posting this.  A SVS PC-2000 Pro sub woofer.  Looks like a little refrigerator?

I'm saving up for the standing waves.

Kind of thought you got them whenever you walked in a room.

Great, in depth review of this fine product. If you get a chance, let us know what is smells like too.

Thank you in advance.

Mookie....I'm the last person you would want to review a sub woofer.  This is my first and it sounds so good I'm afraid to touch it.  I will eventually when I get comfy with the app and set it up further.  Just as I expected though....it does produce some bass especially when you crank it up a bit☺️

 

Haven't noticed any standing waves though.  May be the sloped 16' ceiling.  It does smell nice..........

Meanwhile, what's been keeping me busy between weed whacking, RoundUp ing and general weed abatement stuff

how high & long will the Great Wall of Murrieta be?  I would imagine the cost of that wall would buy you a house in some parts of this country. 

Looks good though -- i like the gray.

Well the labor is "free":) I do require a cocktail occasionally. You can see a step where I ran out of blocks, once I get all to that level I think I'm close to done. It's about 200' long. I'm just trying to stop the sand washing down a ruining everything we do on the lower parts of the homestead.
