  1. Must be high on list
  2. You've got to be kidding these look like guns of navarone
  3. Nice kit TNRabbit! The fade is nice looking, bunny is a nice touch! That's the last photo I took as it went out the door, sold to friend.
  4. I had to give it up due to back injury, oh well there always the coronet.
  5. From one Newbie to another Welcome! Time to go into the system thread and post pictures, we like em!
  6. I would have bought them too! Would be cool to find an old tube guitar amp build a cabinet with both speakers in it an start learning stairway to heaven!
  7. What kind of project are those for?
  8. Darn posting at work again... I thought it sounded Flat/Sterile as well. Low feedback designs can sound that way driving low inductance loads ( I heard), that's why I bumped up the feedback not as high as the M400t but just enough. Before you try somthing that drastic I would suggest the amp get Recapped. It may then breath fire, like a monster.
  9. Nice to know I'm not alone.. Don't know how many times I had to reverse direction in the morning because I forgot somthing.
  10. Yamaha makes some nice stuff
  11. I was going to write something but I forgot what it was. Maybe if I sit down again....
  12. Allways liked the attack of mutiple driver design!
  13. Nice setup! I recently aquired defective 1.5T brought it back to life. How do you like the sound?
  14. This sucks if I could remember half the stuff I was taught I'd be a smart man! CRS can't remember 5h1t! Moved to beyond 50 last year looks like I need to start eating brain food! M240 car amps use Amidon pot Cores I used to use in SMPS design, but for the life of me I can't remember the math!! Oh well have a beer that will help or at least forget what I wanted to remember! Put the standard parts in call it good Techno speak tutorial! https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=2&ved=0CDQQtwIwAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DlBp5ag6SJH4&ei=T8V9Ua-_MsXy0QG3g4GACQ&usg=AFQjCNHzwJHC_9pW9ndv9xtTveMVl79VUg
  15. For instance newest family member begins to get prepped for surgury to join his freshly restored brother
  16. Welcome to Club you audio life will never be the same.. We need a support group for OCCD I believe it's Obsessive Carver Collecting Disease?
  17. I really didn't think any turntable would work as the floor bounced due to the big span. Hell I could see the dog waking in on the FFT and actually see the movement. Spreading the load and stiffening the trusses was is a big improvement. However my back paid the price!! It might be time to upgrade..
  18. All good added stiffening brace, way better just about done with box but need to give back a rest! Surgury 3 months ago 16 ft cross brace was a bit of a workout! Turntable is in cabinet working fine! Also increased tracking force to 1.5
  19. Opps resonance is in the 65 hz region! Lower freq is footstep.
  20. I wasn't planning on doing something that drastic!! However I was planning on picking up a basement pole at Home Depot or Lowes to put in the basement under the entertainment center. You should see the bumps in the freq plot when someone walks. I'm surprised the tone arm doesn't jump across the record! If I can figure out how to downsize the plots while maintaining readability I'd post them..
  21. I'm currently building a box to isolate the turntable. I work at a balance and vibration company, borrowed some equipment. I have a lot of bounce in my floor FFT graph shows low frequency resonance in the 40 to 30 hz region. Big bumps when someone walks in the room! As the house is trussed and no poles in the basement, covering a 48 x 25 area and an open floor plan, it acts like a trampoline. So I'm adding stiffening braces in the basement by the entertainment center. All goes well I should be solved this weekend.
  22. I'm not a total old fart, I also use DVDs with a Beringer USB device isolated and rip with LAME using insane preset 320kbs. It's just nice to pull out my old classics on vinly once on a while. Started constructing my dampening box for my turntable. I needed ideas of how to approach it, all the knowledgable people on this site gave me direction. Thank you!
  23. The turntable sets on a solid oak table, tracking force is 1.2 grams, I won't be able to supply a picture until I get home ( at work ). I'll try weighting the dust cover with books tonight.
  24. Lots of rumble even with the C1 filter engaged. I think it has something to do with the open floor plan, distance in the room is 33 feet. Which puts the wavelength in the 34 hz area.. Lots of flutter in the woofers. Both turntables behave exactly the same.
  25. Ok but my ceiling is 22 ft high might not be practical!
