Deang Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 As is my custom -- when I think I'm done -- you know -- before I start selling off to try something different again. I think the Quicksilvers will be around a while. The RF-7's like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted April 23, 2003 Author Share Posted April 23, 2003 Edmond's Gold Cary SLP-90. Well, it was gold -- until it started driving me nuts looking at it. So, a call to the 'Had Gang' for a new faceplate and knobs. Not bad, $105 and I got a new look that fits in better with the rest of the gear. Yes, I think this preamp will be with me until it melts down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edster00 Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Excellent looking (and sounding I am sure) rig Dean. I like the black faceplate also! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

middlecreekguy Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Dean, that is one nice look`n pre-amp. How much power you push`n those Refs with. I don`t even have my Cornwalls yet, and I want tubes so bad I can`t hardly stand it. I wish I had a room devoted solely to tunes as you have.

mace Posted April 23, 2003 Share Posted April 23, 2003 Nice looking rig, for sure. The freshly vacuumed carpet is a bonus! So, you have kids. Are they allowed in that room? I have my Scott tucked away behind a glass door and my wife still worries on of the kiddies will somehow get to messing with the amp and be struck by shards of hot glass from exploding tubes.

Deang Posted April 23, 2003 Author Share Posted April 23, 2003 If your Scott has a case, with a cover -- than she has no need to worry. Temple, my 2 1/2 year old daughter -- comes up regularly to dance in front of the system. She understands the 'hot glass' thing. I just took her over and explained it to her -- and we both held our hands over the tubes to feel the heat. She keeps a safe distance. My 11 and 13 year olds both know how to properly power up and power down the system, and sometimes watch movies on the system while I'm at work. Kids are smart -- you just have to take the time to explain things to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard at times to put your trust in them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audible Nectar Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Looks yummy - especially the Cary/Quicksilver combo. I really like the looks of that amp - big blue cans and all Yet another setup on my "want to hear" list - especially due to the RF-7 mods.

AnalOg Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Hey Dean, How far are you from the back wall? Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted April 24, 2003 Author Share Posted April 24, 2003 15.5 inches This seems to be optimum with this setup. Decent growl on the low bass and still punchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnalOg Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Dean, Have you coupled your Scott to this set up with the speakers in this same placement? Wondering if you found the bass too "muddy and/or Boomy". That seemed to be my observation with the rf3II, I had to take them out to about 30 inches from the back & about 24 inches from the side wall.

Deang Posted April 24, 2003 Author Share Posted April 24, 2003 I had my 299a up there for a while, but at the time I had the speakers 36" from the back wall. Since I have the Cornwall/Scott system downstairs for low level/near field listening -- I've got the RF-7 system set up for balls to wall. I'll eventually get my 299b up there just to see how she compares to the Quicksilvers and Cary -- I'm in no big hurry though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnalOg Posted April 24, 2003 Share Posted April 24, 2003 Interested to know if there would be a need to reposition the speakers, keep us posted. Thankx Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
