HDBRbuilder Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Finally made my road-trip to pick-up my Klipsch SW-15 subwoofer purchase from e-bay.....from Jonesboro, AR to Plano, TX ...over 450 miles one-way! The unit is fully-functional, and cosmetically excellent in clear oak finish. The only thing that needs replacing are the feet (currently three un-covered spikes with one covered spike!), and I already have that parts "replacement" covered. The plan is to eventually use this up front with four Heresy speakers and an additional SW-8 in clear oak (which I already have NIB) for use in my "quad" room set-up in my retirement home. I just need to give this new unit a good cleaning before packing it for the up-coming move of all of my stuff! SW-15 subwoofers are getting harder and harder to find in great condition! The power source for this system will be my H/K 900+ quad receiver that I bought new in 1975! Their top-of-the-line for the quad era! It is really a very amazing piece...with built-in CD-4 demodulator!...32 WPC in quad mode! Can anybody say "Back to the Future"?? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TasDom Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Cordless yard tools are awesome! I remember the hassle of long extension cords or mixing two stroke oil and gas. Hey maybe that should be in the "you know you're getting old" thread...lol 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very impressed with all of them especially the weedwacker. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWL Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Shiit Loki tone control/equalizer. This is my second one for another system in the house. The first one I'm actually using in my main system with a tube amp. This is the only analog EQ/tone control I've ever had that didn't impact the sound in a negative way. I use it very sparingly to cut some mids and it works very well.....tubes and solid state Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very good problem solver. Not quite parametric though, but who needs that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember doing it by hand when I was a kid, after the 2 nails in a board and hatchet trick. But the worst part was my mother burning off the tiny pin feathers over the gas stove, sure didn't smell like chicken. Even with that machine it's still going to be a mess. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the worst part was my mother burning off the tiny pin feathers over the gas stove, sure didn't smell like chicken. Even with that machine it's still going to be a mess. Here's a stock photo of it assembled. As you can see there's a grate that goes on the top so that only the tips reach through and grab at the bird. Oh yeah, it's absolutely a mess. But we gather up most of the feathers and guts and blood and throw it all into the compost - it breaks down nicely in just a few months. We've done our last three batches by hand - it's slow and we never really get all the little feather bits off (hasn't mattered since we just roast or stew them), so this should speed up the process considerably and make the birds cleaner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
