@Dennis47 Yes, about one or two years ago I wrote to them. I told them how much I liked their products and asked what they thought about the possibility of building an amplifier myself directly from their circuits, rather than restoring an existing unit. My idea was to build the power amplifier section and control it using the White Oak circuitry. Honestly, I expected them to support the idea and offer whatever assistance might be necessary to achieve that goal, but it was quite the opposite—it was rather discouraging. The response was something along the lines of, "If you know what you're doing, then go ahead." That wasn't the kind of answer I was expecting, especially considering the amount of money involved in a project like this. So, I eventually abandoned the project and may pursue something of my own in the future.

Amazon's Prime Deal Days are here, and the Klipsch outdoor speakers aren't on sale, $349. The Polk Atrium 8's are 35% off at $195. Of course I'm leaning towards the Klipsch...

Welcome to TCS!

Just introducing myself , I recently acquired a M500t and MRX 130, those power meters are awesome

Speaking of acoustical damping, I saw this gizmo at an audio show. Supposed to acoustically damp a room. The guy did a demo that turned it on and off that brought the music into better focus with a remote. But who knows what that really controlled?

WELCOME @Julio! Phase Linear amps... Are you familiar with the White Oak upgrade for the Phase linear amplifiers?

Welcome to the site. I think you have exceeded the meaning of OCCD! 🤣 Nice collection of equipment 😎

Welcome to the site!!!

Welcome from Virginia! Enjoy your stay! I spent about 7 months in Argentina back in the 90's, installing a cellular network. Mostly around the Chaco, Formosa area. I lived in Resistencia. Got to BA twice. Hope to go back someday. Glad to have you with us!

Why not, but it has to be an acoustic treated urn, with internal damping for your ashes ! 🤣

Hi. The four block set of Cello's is Performance II amp, composed of two mono amps and two power supply. I have two sets of these, plus a pair of Encore 150 (with handles) and Palette and Suite with one common Master power supply. That's a lot of Cello, but I'm selling the perfs because the Encore are enough and eight boxes for around 400lbs total is ... Big. And takes some space ...

Hello friends of the NHT club, I've finally been able to examine the speaker's crossover and draw some conclusions. It's clear the speaker has been internally modified, perhaps leaving only the original cabinets and drivers. The crossover was adapted for bi-amplification. Mundorf caps and some internal Van den Hul wiring, along with a WBT binding post, were added. Finally, four additional screws were added to the midrange driver. I don't know when or who did it, but they sound great. It's a bit of a Frankenstein build, but oh well! I've attached some photos. Greetings to all.

Hello, my name is Julio. I live in Argentina and I am an enthusiastic admirer of the famous Phase Linear Series II amplifier, which in the 1980s was one of the most commonly seen power amplifiers in the best nightclubs in Buenos Aires. I even had the opportunity to repair a few of them—and also to burn one or two! I am an electronics technician, and back then I was just getting started. There wasn't nearly as much information available as there is today, and of course there were no AI tools. It was very difficult to find service manuals, and free video tutorials like the ones we have today were simply unimaginable. I would like to relive some of those days, and that's why I'm here. I would love to build my own Phase Linear amplifier. By the way, in July I will be starting a course on Class A amplifier design that I recently enrolled in. Greetings to everyone, and thank you for welcoming me to the group.

Hello cvrt and welcome to thecarversite.com. Glad you found us! What a great collection of gear, and thank you for the pictures! I have a question. When I pass on from this life to the other side, is it OK if my daughters ship my urn and ashes to rest in your audio room? Thanks either way.

No, never thought of that. TBH, I don't really see much advantage of doing it that way. The glue takes longer to apply and dry. Extra steps with the ironing. Wrinkling of the veneer would scare me a bit. The contact cement method has a few disadvantages as well .... once contact is made, it's stuck. The fumes can be difficult in closed space .... this should have been a winter project for me, but I do it outside so needed to wait for warmer temps. With the glue, I could have done it in February. Not really. I put SVS Subwoofer feet on the bottoms. Easy to get hands under to scoop them up and move them.

Those Levinson Cellos look heavy!!! What are they? Are those two amps and two power supplies? Nice inventory. I would find no reason to ever leave that room.
