Rooster42 Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 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.

Ole Dollar Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 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. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 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.

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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 A little late posting this. A SVS PC-2000 Pro sub woofer. Looks like a little refrigerator? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarheel Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 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.......... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that you've mentioned it I'll probably get a notice, thanks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
