JOHN GALT Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 S.E.T. FOR LIFE My foray into tubes came when my girlfriend introduced me to her stereo friend who sold stereo equipment in Champign/Urbana in the mid 70, two dynaco ST-70 kits and a Dynico PS-3 and a Transcriptor Saturn Turntable, and Fulton Model -80. I was into the stereo business. Several years ago my friend was moving and even though he had a semi trailer to move his stuff he did not want to move his 79 La Scalas. $900 later I was the uninformed owner of these things, a quick visit to Klipsch forum pointed me to a Manly amp, I'm in business again. You wear a manly T-shirt long enough and your going to draw attention, I met someone who introduced me to someone and the next thing I know I have replaced my x-overs with Bob Crites single A x-overs for the La Scala's flash back to the first time I read Adolus Huxlies's "doors of perception" This fellow acquiesced to sell me a pair of Don Allen SET 2A3 with three sets of tubes for $700. I am going to pick them up on Friday! Casual listner to Sterio no more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 John, Welcome to the forum. What a great way to get into the lunacy! Of course, we would like to see pics of everything once you get the amps. Also like to know how you like the low power route. If you have already done some mods on the LS, you should be good to go. What style of music do you listen to? Just remember... you are the one who listens to your own equipment, so if you like it, that is the most important thing. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHN GALT Posted April 6, 2008 Author Share Posted April 6, 2008 I would love to post some pictures from my new Nikon d200! But I can not figure out how to post photos, I find referances to past threads as to how but the threads are empty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut-Throat Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Welcome to the Forum. And I also love the sound of SET amps. I primarily use 45 amps, but have 2A3s as well. BTW - Ayn Rand's ideas really suck, as the current administration has proved at all levels! Get some intelligent books! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvel Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I would love to post some pictures from my new Nikon d200! But I can not figure out how to post photos, I find referances to past threads as to how but the threads are empty! To post imges, the first thing is to resize them so they aren't too big. 600-800 pixel wide will work. The forum software will still scale them down a bit to display them, but clicking on them will show the full size.Unless hosted somewhere else and you put in links, you can only put in one pic per post (bummer) When creating a post, there is an option tab. on there is an add/update button, which opens a small window where you can browse to your pic. You may need to scroll to the right to see the save button. Once in uploads the photo, you can post it. I keep thinking I will make a pdf with pics, that explains it all... but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyone Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 I would love to post some pictures from my new Nikon d200! But I can not figure out how to post photos, I find referances to past threads as to how but the threads are empty! When you post a reply or start a new thread on the forum the page comes up with the text area of the message for you type your message. At the top of the box that outlines the message is a row of tabs. Hit the "options" tab and you should get a page that shows the options for adding a file to your message. Click the "add/update" button and you should be able to browse for the picture folder and picture file wherever it is on your computer. Select the picture and click "open" at the bottom of the new browser page. The location of the picture file should now be in the cue. Then you have to scroll to the right and click "save". That should upload the picture. I hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Having re-read the entire thread, Ayn Rand was never in it until cut-throat's ignorant comment. Huxley was mentioned though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
