|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 5258 Registered: Dec-04 | MR, I will PM you on that one. It is under consideration. |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 5259 Registered: Dec-04 | With the amount of various gear available, and the contacts that I have(so far), I might be able to swing a small business licence, and deduct my heating and electric bills. Mike Wodek should be able to cough up some good stuff. Right, Mike? |

Silver Member Username: Mike3Wiley, Tx USA Post Number: 226 Registered: May-06 | With a complete lack of WAF I have a ton of stuff I can offer up, like 3 DCM Time Window 3 Floor Standing speakers, 2 Monitor Audio Silver 8i' (which were going to be in my super HT system until I bought a house with an in wall Klipsch Reference System. Then there are all the electronics associated with this. |

Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 5260 Registered: Dec-04 | Keep that stuff in your pocket, mefriend. I might just try this. This is scary. Middle of nowhere, the best place to open a shop. For cheap. |

Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 5265 Registered: Dec-04 | You dig, CM? I can't wait to get them here and do a thorough clean-up. Now about the carpet...Nawww! |
|
Silver Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY USA Post Number: 815 Registered: Oct-04 | ...but it dosen't have a 8-track! |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 5267 Registered: Dec-04 | D'oh! How's about a retro TT? |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 5268 Registered: Dec-04 | Oh to reclaim my 1971 Akai RTR. I lament so much gear. |

Silver Member Username: Mike3Wiley, Tx USA Post Number: 227 Registered: May-06 | Speaking of retro turntables. I just installed a Sony Linear Tracking / Quartz Lock Direct Drive / Fully Automatic Turntable System PS - FL7II. I got it for free from a friend in Chicago who used it twice then boxed it up a number of years ago. I carried it home on a plane aboug 3 months ago and just did install it yesterday. I undid the screws, pulled the pins, dropped on the platter, plugged in the Audio Technics cartridge and viola, music. I hooked it up in my new "C" system with my Rotel RCC-955, Fios Cable Box, Onkyo DV - SP404 DVD Player, PSB Subsonic 5i, Mirage Omnistat speakers, and (new) Marantz Receiver SR 4021. Video is a Samsung DLP - 50". Power management is a Costco bought Tripp - Lite battery back-up / line conditioner / voltage regulator all rolled into one. This set up is just for entertaining in the family room or if the wife does not want to go upstairs into the media room. I had to throw enough into it just so she could get hissy about all the crap and frigin hand controllers taking over another room. But hey, the Omnistats are hidden behind the TV so she can't complain about seeing more speakers everywhere. |

Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 5279 Registered: Dec-04 | Mike, you have a lot of stuff. Like, a lot. That TT is a mass market POA that can(and obviously does) deliver. Good thing for all the closet space in the new house! Mrs. Mike must love the preamp beside the toaster! |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 5280 Registered: Dec-04 | Timn8er, these are fabulous speakers, the best bar none. Thanks for reminding me. The new tubes are night and day. JackieO from JCM. |
|
Silver Member Username: Mike3Wiley, Tx USA Post Number: 228 Registered: May-06 | Oh yeah, that. I'll be returning that to Sam's Club. I guess buying her audio / video gear for Christmas wasn't the most well thought out plan. |
|
Gold Member Username: Joe_cAtlanta, GA USA Post Number: 1285 Registered: Mar-05 | Mike, you like those omni's by Mirage? I love the outdoor speakers I got by Mirage (which are currently indoors but thats another story) and was impressed by some of their top of the line floorstanders but never have heard the omni's. |

Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 5282 Registered: Dec-04 | Oh yeah, Mike. Probably flew as well as the mitre saw. Dude, that flies with my chick, others, not so much. Good luck with that. |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 5283 Registered: Dec-04 | Andre, I have seen a lot of traffic for Scott amps, the 299a and 'c' models, all tubes. Never heard of them before, thanks for bringing them up. |

Gold Member Username: HawkHighlands Ranch, CO USA Post Number: 1033 Registered: Dec-03 | Nuck: The only speaker to pair with that gear are the original Advents. Still a very find sounding speaker! |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 5288 Registered: Dec-04 | The 'large Advents'. I have seen a coupla ads. They are 'large'. Thanks, Hawk. |

Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 3797 Registered: Feb-05 | A speaker I used to have back in the mid 70's. http://www.audioscope.net/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=100&products_id=737 |

Silver Member Username: Mike3Wiley, Tx USA Post Number: 229 Registered: May-06 | Joseph C, I really like the Omnistats. They do not provide a lot of bass so you should use them with a sub. Their strenghts are dispersion and accuracy. For a little speaker I am seriously pleased with their sound. I guess if I paid retail, ~$250 USD @, I would not be suprised by their performance. However I bought them on clearance at Tweeter for $69 @ USD. Outstanding speaker at that price.  |

Silver Member Username: Mike3Wiley, Tx USA Post Number: 230 Registered: May-06 | Nuck, A mitre saw might have won her over. She went to Home Depot and bought a 3 1/2 hp electic chain saw a couple of weeks ago and used it to clear out some of the forest we have in the back. I wish I was kidding. |

Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 5299 Registered: Dec-04 | A can of Miyutoya 2 stroke oil goes a long ways man. Of course 2 strokes go a long ways, too. Never mind, ya gotta love an outdoor girl! Bring your lady a drink! |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 5304 Registered: Dec-04 | http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/47055-bw_dm2/ I bought these B&W's, the seller promised that they are butt ugly without the covers, but in A1 running condition. Ugly but accurate, just like me. I dig! |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 5305 Registered: Dec-04 | I also got a line on a Sugden A21a amp, for real. I don't know what it will cost, I am hoping for trade bait! |
|
Silver Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY USA Post Number: 823 Registered: Oct-04 | 3-bills for the B&W's? |

Bronze Member Username: FuryousFL USA Post Number: 60 Registered: Aug-06 | Dude, without the grilles is the way to buy them. Now you can shop for retro grille cloth. I say yes to the shag btw. I remember working at Circuit City in the mid 90's and one of the guys I worked with always bragged about his DCM timeframes. We hooked them up to my old Fischer tube receiver in the break room when we wanted to hear "real sound" instead of The new laserdisc crap. |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 5307 Registered: Dec-04 | Thanks, Furyous. It will be a couple of weeks before I get it all together, and have impressions to offer. |
