This one's pretty cool. Garrard 401 with a custom maple base and a cool funcky tonearm.

This is a serious thread to discuss ideas for my new speaker, I'm not going to go into any more off topic tangents on my love life.

I would, but I don't have an imaginary girlfriend.

So I buysed some new amps yesterday, and now I need some speakers to go with them. What do you guys suggest? This is a very serious thread.

Pretty much, you just kinda wake up one day and there it is.

We're talking about invisible purple unicorns, that's why you can't see the pictures.

Apparently, it's not a safety issue unless someone loses an eye.

So I hooked up with this chick on an internet dating site, and then when I went to meet her I found out she has an identical twin sister. So now I have a bit of a problem, I'm not sure which sister I talked to on the 'net, so now I'm all confused and I don't know which sister I should be dating. Help me decide which sister is the one. .................1...................................................2............

Of course, now that you've said that he's going to have a $200 upgrade plan to put the cap in. Kinda like how he charged a shitload of money to "fix" the cRaptor power supply with a slightly less broken PSU.

This is something I've been playing with for a while, in short, I can change my K340 from sealed to vented so I have more range for tuning the bass. This picture shows how it's done. Sealed the back with a piece of plastic and taped it in good with electrical tape, but first I put a couple holes in it which I've highlighted with the arrows. How does it work? Well, you can plug one, both, or none of the holes with a small piece of blu-tack, and that'll change how the bass sounds. With the holes open there's more bass but it isn't as tight, you get a bass hump but it doesn't really go any deeper. Close up both holes and the bass gets tight, maybe a bit too tight so it isn't as fun with some of the music I listen to. Normally I close up one hole and leave the other open, the sound is somewhere in between that way.

This is why man invented electric violins.

Converted the volume control on my amp from a standard pot to a shunt mode pot. I'm not sure if it did anything.

There's this thing called a shoelace, available for a buck at the dollar store. The ones for athletic shoes and hockey skates are hollow inside so you can thread a cable right through them as seen on this page.

I feel like building a cattle prod for some reason.

You're not crazy. You're certifiably insane. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Unless your name is Patrick.

Dead easy. Take the subway to St. Clair West station and it's less than a 5 minute walk from there. webpage with maps

It adds transparency to the sound.

Because if I did, I'd get confused as to which forum I'm on, and that would be very discombobulating. I think I'm going on Tuesday, you know where the store is.

And always, always use lubrication.

Speaking of DHT's, full Artemis Labs setup, featuring a nice SET 300B amp. Let me know if you wanna hook up there.

Glad it worked out. They can take a while to break in too so it'll only get better from here. Note for the future, because upgrades are inevitable. Tribute makes a nanocrystalline cobalt core autoformer volume control (click on news, inductive volume control). It's ridiculously good.

I, for one, applaud the timely euthanizing of the Senn 600. Sorry, I just had to say that.

A bit over budget, but a great deal. I've heard this 'table at a local dealer and it's really really good.

My Living Voice dealer is about 30 minutes away. I thought I should mention that again. Nope, those are for his K1000 headphones. He uses a variation of the Aurora with a DHT input tube and transformer coupling on the front end. The tubes were 26, 45, 300B, and the transformer between the 26 & 45 is a stepup transformer. His other amps are much cooler though, high voltage transistor amps running at 150V-200V with output transformers. Puts out about 30W, almost as good as his all DHT amps according to him. To me they sounded pretty much the same. Even more cool is his large open baffle speakers, still being fine-tuned. Large Heil tweeter, Lowther wideband driver, and 3 12" Eighteen Sound woofers for the bass & mid-bass. Looks kinda like the old Apogee speakers, but with dynamic drivers & the Heil tweeter. Efficiency is something like 98dB/W/1M, but it can handle several hundred watts of power. The OBX-R's will compress if you push them above 100dB or so while the prototype speakers can hit 115-120dB before running into trouble. Much bigger dynamics, and can play way louder.

Interesting. I think you once mentioned that your PS-1 has some extra damping material inside for some reason, could this have something to do with its more refined sound?
