The first thing that I would suggest is framing a wood floor over the concrete. While the concrete is certainly a solid base to anchor to it is also more than likely pitched to provide drainage which could be annoying for setting TT's up and so on. Most are pitched anywhere from 1/8 to 1/4" per foot, if you have a level garage floor punch your contractor the next time you see him. Also, most garages are 6 to 8" below the main house floor so this would allow you to bring it up level with the rest of the house. The false floor also would provide a nice chase space for wiring, plumbing, etc. so that you don't have to get into walls or run stuff over floors. This is the time to do things right so plan ahead and save future headaches. I'd also think about framing double walls around the perimeter of the room (staggered studs or otherwise) to provide isolation from the main house and limit sound transmission. I can provide more details if you're curious. Those are my first couple thoughts, I'll post more if the appropriate synapses fire.

The one on the right or left?

Thanks guys! The Red Light does indeed look interesting but I'm not sure where I'm headed with my next project. I've got at least one big casework job to do (Buffalo DAC) before I really should be thinking about anything new. And then there is the pile of beta22 boards and parts that I should probably do something with...

Thanks Haj, nothing like a tripod and 13 second exposure to make tube glow shots properly. And yes, it is essentially an integrated amp with an alps RK27 on the front end. I was originally going to use the PEK potentiometer that I had for this project but it didn't fit in the chassis after I'd installed the pcb. Woops!

Pretty sure I'm not going to paint it for a good long time. and the obligatory tube glow shot.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Ken!

Thanks for the offer but I'm all set. They were on back order for forever this summer (when I first started planning this) so I ordered them, forgot I ordered them, and all of a sudden they showed up in the middle of the fall. Gotta love packages like that. "What the hell is this? Oh wait, yeah, I remember that..."

How much do you need?

I've had three or four Kinstons, they've held up ok so far.

I'll be using 18ga Neotech for the internal hookup wire. I might dampen the box with either some acoustic foam or maybe a few sheets of ice and water shield. Not really sure. The cabinet is being constructed of all 3/4" material so it should be pretty solid and will be using an aperiodic vent at Craig's recommendation given the small .6cuft size. It may be huge fail, who knows, going to give it a try though and see what happens. Logo may come later if it doesn't sound like a complete turd.

I'll start. Father Postjack (since he's clearly the priest in this arena) I have sinned, I said no stats in '08. I bought 3, and should have kept the Lambda/SRM combo.

It was 2.6 when I left for work this morning.

I should really dig out my golf discs this spring.

Unfortunately time will not permit me to be the one making use of this wood. But pics will certainly be posted when I've got the cabinets and started assembly.

Ok, fine. Bought 2x Koss ESP 950 SR Lambda Pro SRM1 MKII Sold 2x Koss ESP 950 SR Lambda Pro SRM1 MKII

Damn, that is a good deal.

I think Tyll usually goes, might drop him a line.
