Platinum Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 11153 Registered: May-04 | . I don't own any equipment. I made all that stuff up. |
Silver Member Username: KevincorrFairbanks, Alaska Usa Post Number: 215 Registered: Jul-07 | Very creative Jan! Darn it, he backed out of the Quad12 sale! Oh well, still have the Sub coming for the Quad11. |
Gold Member Username: My_rantzAustralia Post Number: 1517 Registered: Nov-05 | I don't own any equipment. I made all that stuff up. Same here. I just hired it for the photo. All you need is a 13inch Hitachi and a trannie if you got love. . |
Silver Member Username: StryvnPost Number: 440 Registered: Dec-06 | My gear was only stacked like that for the photo. (Sort of) In reality, the cdp is on a different shelf. Amp, pre and tuner are stacked as in my original photo up higher in the thread. I've been advised to open it up a bit, which I will try today with some wood blocks. And it appears that Nuck has taken BOC's slogan: On Tour Forever. Hope you make it home soon! |
Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 5282 Registered: Feb-05 | Ummm...no we haven't forgotten about ya Nuck!!! |
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8425 Registered: Dec-04 | If I could make a 600x600 photo from the software I have, I would be a god. 640 x 480 is the smallest I can do, and the site kicks my derriere. Admin, other sites have a sizer, is it that hard/expensive? |
Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 5285 Registered: Feb-05 | For the umteenth millionth time here it is....geez!!! http://www.shrinkpictures.com/ |
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8426 Registered: Dec-04 | Art, it ain't working here. For whatever reason I cannot get down to 600 with any tool I have available. Dude, you done your part, I suck. Luckily I have disc2 of 'The Wall" playing downstairs, and blasted 'run like hell' quite nicely. The song spread wide across the whole room, and some kid was heard crying in the far room. Ever heard that? I try again, between pounding my head into the wall and listening to it. |
Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 5287 Registered: Feb-05 | 1) Browse and find the picture 2) Select 600 pixels 3) Go down to #5 and select RESIZE 4) It will Shrink and go to another page...find "download this picture now" and select it. 5) It will download...and up will come your photo gallery...go to the upper left had corner and select "copy to gallery" 6) It is now in your gallery and all you need to do is select upload from this page, browse and find your picture select upload again in the "add image or attachment" area and you have it done. |

Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8428 Registered: Dec-04 | Art, thank yo for the 'for dummies' version, quite appropriate. Chris, thank you, I will try that if the steps are easier. I will try both tomorrow when I am presumably more sober. Supertramp 'quietest moments' on the tubes. Outfreakingstounding |

Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 5289 Registered: Feb-05 | Nice pics Kevin...those look like nice stands for your Quads. |
Silver Member Username: KevincorrFairbanks, Alaska Usa Post Number: 236 Registered: Jul-07 | Thanks, those stands are B&W from the local dealer. Now for some vinyl: |

Silver Member Username: KevincorrFairbanks, Alaska Usa Post Number: 239 Registered: Jul-07 | Lime is good. The fein shop vac hiding in the left corner, the old technics turntable are my vinyl cleaning tools. Need to order a real machine. |
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8437 Registered: Dec-04 | KC, preat pic's! I dig the green, I really do. A standout piece where one is appropriate. Nice digs. Congrats. |
Silver Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 281 Registered: Jun-07 | Great Pic's Kevin, that lime green is sexy. Solid collection of LP. |
Gold Member Username: My_rantzAustralia Post Number: 1528 Registered: Nov-05 | Great stuff Kevin, I like the Rega lime t/t also. Those Quads should work really well on those heavy stands, mine do. |
Silver Member Username: KevincorrFairbanks, Alaska Usa Post Number: 240 Registered: Jul-07 | Bedroom: HK integ-amp/tuner, Castle speakers. I can't make the speakers post right side up. |
Silver Member Username: KevincorrFairbanks, Alaska Usa Post Number: 241 Registered: Jul-07 | All the styrofoam and blocks don't interfere with the neighbors enjoyment of the base! Wait till they hear the new Velo Sub in the living room! Most, 3/4 of the vinyl is still in storage. That shelf has 11 milk crates worth. I will try to jam another dozen into that room before the storage gets snowed in for the winter. |
Silver Member Username: KevincorrFairbanks, Alaska Usa Post Number: 244 Registered: Jul-07 | I just ordered a Rotel RCD 1072 and a Rotel RT 990BX tuner!! Will have to make more pics again! That should hold me a while. Went cheap for now. Will wait a few months before going for the Apollo and Int amp. Thanks for all the good ideas. |
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8462 Registered: Dec-04 | KC you have like.. a lot of gear. Bravo! Play the 1072 for a while. It really is infectious. Snap, boom and bam!But it ain't one trick. I might find another set of Dard IC's laying around... Or any Doners? |
Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 5292 Registered: Feb-05 | Multiple systems, I love it Kevin! Greta pics...keep em comin'. All except you Nuck, we've given up! |
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8469 Registered: Dec-04 | I broke the fuking camera. Or sent it into default or something, screen says 'system istallation required'. I never claimed to be smart. Shite, I emailed Stryvn a couple of photos to crop and post for me. It's probably a good thing I am never home. |
Silver Member Username: StryvnPost Number: 450 Registered: Dec-06 | Nuck, I can post em if you wish BUT I didn't have to do anything to them to get them to post. You should be able to post them exactly as you've sent them to me. |
Gold Member Username: My_rantzAustralia Post Number: 1534 Registered: Nov-05 | Nuck, as long as they are under 40,000 bytes per jpg they should be good to go. |

Silver Member Username: NmytreePost Number: 139 Registered: Aug-04 | Kevin, which Castle speakers are they? I have a few Castles here, too. Love those bad boys! Sweeeeeeeeeeet! |
Silver Member Username: KevincorrFairbanks, Alaska Usa Post Number: 246 Registered: Jul-07 | Those are Castle Severn Speakers that I picked up used. They do sound good. I feel they are best for the bedroom because they seem to be the best low volume speakers. And I love that real wood. The Living room speakers seem better when not way down low. |
Silver Member Username: KevincorrFairbanks, Alaska Usa Post Number: 247 Registered: Jul-07 | Christopher- I saw that clip on Jimmy Kimmel. I have a feeling she will be famous ala Jessica. Is Chicken of the Sea Tuna or Chicken? |

Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 5393 Registered: Feb-05 | I think that's the best we're gonna do! |

Silver Member Username: StryvnPost Number: 521 Registered: Dec-06 | ROFLMAO......great pictures, Stu. Here I thought he was kidding about the Eddie Van Halen perm. And I can see why he picked up 10 pairs of the Dared IC's. |

Silver Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 528 Registered: Jun-07 | Very nice TDog and Leo. Keep em coming. |
Silver Member Username: Nickelbut10Post Number: 529 Registered: Jun-07 | TDog- I have never seen Polks that look like that. Unless their not.lol |
New member Username: MagfanPost Number: 3 Registered: Oct-07 | Not to worry, Art, I replaced the MG-1s with a brand new set of MG-1.6QRs. This was an amazing revelation to me. I spent probably 50 hours on 'breakin', something I learned was REAL after getting my MG-1s back from rebuild. I'd have said you were loony before. I would put on the XM to a Jazz feed and let 'em go for hours. But, the 1.6's now sound about right. Too Bad, I can't afford to upgrade to some SERIOUS power..... Maggies like lots. The old 1's liked the 200/side of my old cube and the 1.6's seem only minimally happy with the 130/side Rotel. I suspect the 200/side Rotel would have what it takes, but I would like even more juice. I might even try something radical. What is the buzz on Emotiva and Coldamp? Back to the ball game.....Cubs are in playoffs! |
Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 5411 Registered: Feb-05 | Nice looking system TDog, don't know you from adam but it's nice to make your acquaintance. Please ignore the verbal violence on the forum presently...it's often like this but if you duck you can avoid it. Again, nice system. |
Gold Member Username: StefanomVienna, VA United States Post Number: 1048 Registered: Apr-06 | "TDog- I have never seen Polks that look like that. Unless their not.lol" They look like Onix Rockets to me. Perhaps he had the Polks cabinets rebuilt??? |
Gold Member Username: Stu_pittIrvington, New York USA Post Number: 2139 Registered: May-05 | Art, TDog was here a while back, maybe a year or so ago. A nice guy. I'm pretty sure things weren't much different then than they are now. Good to see you again TDog. |
Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 5412 Registered: Feb-05 | Yep Leo, I know about Maggies and power. I used to own them. I remember the name Stu, just not much else. |
Gold Member Username: Frank_abelaBerkshire UK Post Number: 2410 Registered: Sep-04 | I thought that centre speaker was frightening... then I spotted the sub next to the right hand sofa - OH MY GOD! |

Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 5413 Registered: Feb-05 | Big SVS....Paul would have been proud! |
Gold Member Username: Stu_pittIrvington, New York USA Post Number: 2141 Registered: May-05 | Every now and then I miss Paul. Then I think about the insanity going on now. Any new systems Art? Where's Nuck been lately? |
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8835 Registered: Dec-04 | Yo. |
Silver Member Username: Mike3Wylie, Tx USA Post Number: 763 Registered: May-06 | Tweaks that Randy Warren would appreciate. LOL. See Jan's post a few above; Linn LP 12 TT with Air Shocks Rogue Audio Magnum 99 also on Air Shocks but with 12 lbs of lead diver weights stabilizing it further. Nuck, I can't even find my camera and I was still able to post these pics. Cell phone which accounts for the poor quality. No doubt we have not seen the last of your virtual system. I really like the Van Halen hair and painted nails though. |
Gold Member Username: ArtkAlbany, Oregon USA Post Number: 5417 Registered: Feb-05 | Love it Mike! Yeah Stu I'm messin' with alot of stuff now. I'm listening to a Sansui 6060 receiver with the Boston A120's (not their best, hoping to get some 150's or 200's) as I write this. Tierney Sutton is sounding fabulous. Tommorrow I'm off to meet a forum member and check out some vinyl. Also will pick up a couple of turntables. Viva Vinyl!!!!!!! |
Silver Member Username: Mike3Wylie, Tx USA Post Number: 764 Registered: May-06 | Okay everybody, pony up 50 cents each if you plan on staying here. Thank you. Thank you. Here's your change... |
Silver Member Username: Mike3Wylie, Tx USA Post Number: 765 Registered: May-06 | Ok, now for what you paid for, FULL FRONTAL!!!! Swapped in Pioneer Receiver (think tuner) on stand far right, moved amps back toward wall, added auralex panel to door, ASC square below, Chicago Bear's pennant above, Marilyn smilin' at me far left. Hey these are all acoustic treatments....... aren't they???????? |
Gold Member Username: My_rantzAustralia Post Number: 1616 Registered: Nov-05 | That's all well and good Mike, but look what you exposed in public. Shame on you. Shame. Man, you've really got ....'s Okay that's 40 love! Tennis, anyone? |

Silver Member Username: TdogroederDes Moines, IA Post Number: 147 Registered: Sep-05 | Guys, how do I get my pics to show without a link? I thought by using the img code on photobucket it would work. |
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8848 Registered: Dec-04 | Here's the rub, T. they gotta be 600 x 600 max to post. Dont get me started, I broke the camera trying to do it, and I ain't got bread for another one. When you make it work, lemme know. |
Gold Member Username: Stu_pittIrvington, New York USA Post Number: 2148 Registered: May-05 | Save them to your computer, then click the "Upload Image or Attachment" button near the Post button. It works like attaching something to an e-mail. |
Silver Member Username: TdogroederDes Moines, IA Post Number: 149 Registered: Sep-05 | Thanks Nuck. |
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8849 Registered: Dec-04 | I gave up on it. I'm gonna email my pics to members that are more capable than I am. 3 people have tried to size the photos to fit, but this machine is incapable of pleasing me in any way. Can you *#($(%) hate a pc? I feel better now. |
Gold Member Username: Stu_pittIrvington, New York USA Post Number: 2149 Registered: May-05 | I already posted a pic of you and your system. |
Silver Member Username: TdogroederDes Moines, IA Post Number: 150 Registered: Sep-05 | I had my camera setting set at 640X480 and it still won't post pics. However, here is a pic of veneers of my Rockets & SVS sub: [IMG]http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p226/tdogroeder/CIMG1789.jpg[/IMG] |

Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 1366 Registered: Oct-04 | That's a sweet little set-up. It gets cold up in your neck of the woods, does that Mengyue double as a space heater in the winter? |
Silver Member Username: Mike3Wylie, Tx USA Post Number: 773 Registered: May-06 | Art, how did the shopping spree go? Rained here today, washed out my garage sale trolling. |
Silver Member Username: Mike3Wylie, Tx USA Post Number: 774 Registered: May-06 | As to posting pics; 1. Take photo (duh) 2. Upload to PC 3. Open with MS PowerPoint or some photo shop program. 4. Import or insert the picture, for PP it is insert file, then select the pic and open it. 4. Resize the picture a. Click on select all. b. Move your mouse to the corner of the pic click on it when you get a single arrow. c. Drag the mouse toward the center of the picture. I take it from literally 5"x6" to about 1 1/2" x 1 1/4". There is some latitude to this dimension as it will allow for various sized pictures as you can see in the various posts above. d. Right click on the picture. e. Select "Save As". f. Save it as itself, you will be asked if you want to replace it, click on yes. g. Do what Stu says about 13 posts above. BTW, the program "Paint" in MS Windows Accessories will not work for this. |
Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 1367 Registered: Oct-04 | Download this http://www.getpaint.net/download.html it does almost everything you could ever want from a paint program, plus it's FREE! |
Gold Member Username: NuckPost Number: 8852 Registered: Dec-04 | Thanks, CM. Now that I have an avenue for posting(thanks Mike), I will click away. The Lings deserve a closeup, so they will have one. Anyhow, this is where I post from on the weekends when home. You remembered the Mengyue name, CM? New Sovtek EL34's fixed the issue, still using the stock 6N3 input tubes. Presently driving the setup into soft distortion on Queen's 'A Night at the Opera'. Lazing/I'm in love with my car is outstanding. Right up there with Zep/living loving maid/just a woman. |

New member Username: MagfanPost Number: 5 Registered: Oct-07 | For photo resize for web....and Ecoustics likes 600x800 max, not 600x600...... Please try a copy of Photoshop Elements. Learn how to resize, by going to 'Image', 'Image Size' and figure it out. Check boxes marked 'Constrain Proportions' and 'Resample Image'.......set resolution to 72dpi and 'Bicubic Resample'.....Set 'width' and 'height' to within Ecoustics limits and you are done....and SAVE it under a new name, unless you want to dump the original. I just checked this out on a recent photo: original was 300dpi (best for printing) and 2356x3605 and 7.4"x11.1". AFTER resample, 72dpi, at 533x800, well within Ecoustics limits. And Folks, PLEASE try to use a Tripod indoors! 72dpi is monitor limits and 'mo ain't better for web use. NOTE: a 5000$ camera body with a 50$ lens is much worse than a 600$ body (EOS Rebel, example) with some nice pro-level glass. You'll be glad you did. and save a TON of money. |
