Air, Magnets, String & TapeSo Chris,How about a treatise on how your new amps sound? If I could, I'd have Scotty beam me over to your place for a listen, but that's as likely to happen as me being able to purchase sa... posted about 13 years ago | View comment | |
The SummitHello Isochronism,I did wind up getting the amp, but unfortunately, it arrived DOA. It has been sent to Chris Johnson for repair, so I'll report on its efficacy after it returns.Tha... posted about 13 years ago | View comment | |
Time to kick back!Very nice looking system. I'm surprised you don't have problems with all that glass behind the system, but maybe that's due to the dispersion characteristics of the Gallo's.Enjoy!Dan posted about 13 years ago | View comment | |
Long RoadCongratuations on what I know has to be an incredibly good-sounding system. How do you like your WR's with your 300B amp? I'm gearing up for that pairing now with my Tannoys.Enjoy, and rega... posted about 13 years ago | View comment | |
Vintage (mostly)Brian,The HF 35's got too high for me, so I didn't get them. I did, however, get a 300B SET amp, almost by default, as I only put one bid on it. It'll be here Thursday, I've been wanting to... posted about 13 years ago | View comment | |
Essential SystemHello Dgob,I finally got around to mounting up, and checking set up on the Acutex M320 LPM cartridge last night, and found overhang was a bit short. I adjusted that, and alignment (MintLP B... posted about 13 years ago | View comment | |

Essential SystemHi Dgob,I was just reading your last post, and it caused me to wonder who you trust to work on your Acutex carts. I have my Zu Denon 103R lined up for a stylus/cantilever upgrade at ESCC in... posted about 13 years ago | View comment | |

Essential SystemHello Dgob,With the 415, I'm not sure I've even gotten to the point where it's broken in yet. It seemed to have an over abundance of bass, at least to my taste. So did the M320 at first, bu... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |

Gettin' closeThanks Shakey,A good bit of my system is custom made, DIY, demo and/or modded stuff. Yes, I do enjoy it!Best regards,Dan posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |

Vintage (mostly)Yes, always something to do, keeps things interesting. After seeing your system, I've bid on some HF 35's on Ebay. They need quite a bit of work, but they would keep me busy for quite some time. posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
Audio/Video Basement Retreat(Even Iowa can be fun)What a system, and incredible room you have built. Aside from fun, there has to be great joy in Iowa! Enjoy!Regards,Dan posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
Vintage (mostly)Great system! In my case, a DIY 401 restoration beat the pants off a VPI Scout Signature. You might consider Tannoy, in my large 16' X 34' room (cathedral ceilings), custom built HPD 315 (1... posted over 13 years ago | View comment | |
