    DS Audio 003

    I installed the DS003 and was amazed at the detail, clarity and bass. It seamed to be pulling even more out of well know records that I thought I knew.

    Vinyl score of a lifetime

    I drove three hours each way to buy this box of sealed MFSL Test Pressings from a friend who recently sold his business and had some inventory left over. Unbelievable, it's like winning the lotto. 15 Miles Davis and more from the likes of Art Pepper, McCoy Tyner, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett...

    Wardsweb Systems

    I thought I would update this thread with my latest acquisition and follow up with newer pics of my other systems. To start, I now have a pair of Quad 2905 speakers setup with my DIY B1 w/Korg triode preamp and a pair of DIY Anaview ALC02400-2300 D-class mono blocks. It would be nice to be able...

    Anaview D-Class ALC0240-2300

    My latest project. The base module will run 55wpc in stereo and 200 in mono, so I built two. I added a switch so I can run them as stereo amps or as a set of mono blocks. To add some versatility, I installed Alps potentiometers. I can run them as stand alone stereo amps or add a pre and better...

    The Klipsch Museum is going to have a sale.

    I was sent a link to pieces the Klipsch museum is going to be selling and some of those are holy grail items. Things like a Western Electric 16A horn, Marantz 8B amplifier and lots more. They are not for sale yet but I thought it was cool to see all the stuff. Check out the PDF...

    Recording R2R with the Tascam DA-3000

    Playing around this morning recording some music from reel to reel with a Tascam DA-3000 digital recorder. I'm really impressed with the quality of the DSD128 music when playing back from the DA-3000, compared to the original tape source. Next I will run some BNC cables from the DA-3000 to the...

    Creedence Clearwater Revival - Willy and the Poor Boys

    I was over at my buddy's house yesterday. He just returned from the California Audio show. He bought Creedence Clearwater Revival - Willy and the Poor Boys from Dan Schamlle with The Tape Project. We spent the afternoon listening. It was like hearing it for the first time, as there is just so...

    McIntosh C36 Preamp

    I have moved to a passive pre in my main system and no longer need this McIntosh C36 pre. All lights are working and I will do a little preventive maintenance with some Deoxit before I ship it. It comes with a custom case built by McIntoshCabinets.com that I veneered with Brazilian Rosewood. The...

    anyone using a Clearaudio ceramic magnetic bearing?

    I'm thinking of upgrading my platter bearing to the Clearaudio CMB. I was wondering if anyone here is using one and what they think of it? Lower spinning resistance? Less mechanical noise? Did you have to adjust your VTA after installation?

    DIY remote controlled projector lift

    I need to have my projector 24" from the ceiling to clear the monster 72" ceiling fan. My first design of a box that dropped out of the ceiling failed when I realized the main air conditioning duct is right where the box would need to be. So, I came up with a rather simple design using a linear...

    A parents worst nightmare, a horrific day indeed

    I say a prayer for the children, their families and remember these words: And in despair I bowed my head “There is no peace on earth,” I said, “For hate is strong and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men.” ...Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: “God is not dead, nor...

    J-Corder Technics 1500

    I went by my buddy's place to deliver a piano black case I made for his Olive music server. We spent the afternoon listening to some Bill Evans Trio on his 1500. It was a great way to spend some time recuperating from Thanksgiving.
