It would also give you spare parts which could be a really good thing. I'd say go for it.

If that's true my weenie would be so small I'd have a scab on my ass.

Well if table size and Penis size are related I've definitely won the game. However I, like you believe my ears to be the best tool to judge with. I think you're on the right track with your plans. I could build another sand box platform for the table to sit on if you find it might be benificial. Duals are a dime a dozen. You've got something much more rare and dare I say very hip there my friend. I just love the aesthetic. The fact that it sounds good is icing on the cake. Let's face it, it would be cool as audio sculpture alone.

Vinyl Engine is going to be a great source for answers to all of your questions. Oh and a Warhol on the wall behind that gear would only add to the aesthetic.

That TT is very sweet looking! Love the retro goodness, and that tonearm is vintage coolness. The Marantz is also very nice, and looks to be in damn nice condition. A+
-
I'd recommend not changing too much on that table. The retro goodness definitely has a value IMO. The high mass arm may be a good match for a Denon DL 103 somewhere down the line, but if it's sounding good ATM just enjoy it. Lovin' the table and the Marantz! My best advice would be to clean those records as best you can.

What do I need in terms of vinyl accessories?
swt61 replied to humanflyz's topic in Audio Accessories
Audio Catalog I owned one and sold it to Grawk after buying a VPI platter w/ screw on Carbon Fiber clamp. This was pretty good though, and the price is excellent. Heck buy some of their Stainless cone feet too, and still have plenty left over. -
Those designs are really great. I especially like the bumpy texture to deaden the reflections, but it would be very tough to accurately calculate the interior volume of a similar design with the tools I have at hand. Still it really makes me want to go that extra step. I guess I could build a dummy unit and calculate the volume with sand.

Ooh, thanks. That link has given me some ideas.

^ That's only because you got the girl of your dreams. It'll pass.

I had a Honda Elite 150 in the mid 80's. I had it painted Black and had a stereo mounted. It was pretty cool, even if I could only ride it half the year.
-
Nate that MadAss is Bad Ass! Where did you dig this up? No shit, that's cool! Edit: Found it. I'd imagine that the 125 would probably do 55 - 60 mph, which would allow me to drive it into the city too.
-
Ooh, that's a nice looking strobe setup. Where did you find that Sir?

I'm still checking out your router table/table saw extension. Somehow I think we'd get along very well. Power tools and audio gear, it doesn't get any better! That woofer looks like it has some awesome travel. Waiting patiently for first impressions.

Of coarse I wouldn't dream of telling you how to handle your own personal business, but I will say that if it were me I'd wait until delivery before sending a dime. Even after agreeing to send partial payment upon receiving tracking numbers. If it's more than acceptable for Mihail to make promises he does not keep, then turning that around on him is more than justified in my mind. I can be very patient as long as I'm told the truth. Once lied to I loose all patience and respect. Of coarse once they arrived and everything met my satisfaction I'd send the promised payment. Good luck, I'll cross my fingers for you.

Fuckit! Laugh if you want, but after seeing these I'm seriously looking at the S50R Rally. The island I live on is full of old, fat farts on scooters, but I'm sure there's room for one more. Black of coarse.

What kind of rack is that on the Quad web site...

Duggeh mobilizes a hit squad to Hopstretch's home in such a mannor as to make Golda Meir look like a "turn the other cheek" passivist. -
Agreed, Jet uses most of the same technology since they bought Powermatic. Laguna tools are teh shit!

It's very easy to calculate the volume of a cylinder. The cylinder is a good shape to alleviate reflections, and a circle is very easy to cut with my router jig. Then it's as simple as following the pattern with a bearing guided straight cutting bit.
-
It's no great secret. They'll be very similar in design to these Magico Minis... By stacking individual Baltic Birch plywood pieces I can design just about any shape I want. Once the first piece is cut into shape it's simply a matter of using it as a template with a router to recreate the rest. Mine will be a very similar shape to the Magico, with a cylindrical interior chamber.

What's wrong with Imageshack?

You could start by telling us what table it is.

I haven't met you yet, but anyone who could put up with Fairbanks has to have some redeeming qualities.

It's a Quad rack. Not sure if someone else builds it for them though. -
Well it's not to say that I never want to listen to other headphones. I'll keep my HD580, and I'll build a new Ortho woody, but the K1000 just does so many things right. I assumed it would have great technical merit, I just never expected it to be so musical. I'm totaly hooked, and they'll be the first phone I'll grab to test a new piece of equipment or music. Heck I expect they'll be the first phone I grab for just about everything. I'm still looking forward to building my new speakers, because they're going to have a really superior cabinet design (forget conventional box designs), but these headphones almost take the place of speakers. Fitz it's quite an interesting presentation with your old UFW-10, and mine. Mine had an issue with the amp about a year ago, and after 6 months or so it came back with a new replacement amp that's a bit different, but very good. I have the new amp set to go lower, and yours set to crossover a little higher. Via the balanced UFW-10 inputs of coarse. (dual subs for those non Rocket savvy members)
