    For the OP, I'll vouch for Zebulon as both an excellent tech and an all-around good guy. Best wishes and luck to you, whatever you decide.

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day

    @Pio1980 Great pic, my man. same to @djnagle as well. Me, I had to go to the wife's family plot, remove the deck from our old Craftsman mower, which had a shattered spindle, and bring it back and put the 1/2'' impact on that dude. Parts need ordering, so that project is stalled. I have...

    The final curtain - Mama finally passed away

    I been there with Dad, and am there still with Mom. So, I somewhat understand. Clearly, you were blessed with an extraordinary mother, and had a very long time to enjoy her presence. Reflect on the good times, my man.

    Dilemma: stay vintage or go modern?

    Same here, I'm 51, and would love to see someone enjoy things I got laying about. Hell, I'd likely give it away if I could find that someone.

    Dilemma: stay vintage or go modern?

    I began this trek decades ago, more or less, and got focused hardcore around 2004. Twenty years later, after scratching that whole "I could only dream of owning this piece back then" itch, a few hard-won restorations, shipping nightmares, excessive spl's, and beautiful gear that gathered dust...

    First AK Fest was 20 years ago, Feb 21, 2004

    Somewhere, I have the footage I took from that AKFest (2008). Perhaps I should dig it out, ditch the audio (cause it is likely the sound of my jaw repeatedly bouncing off the floor) and post it here. Like I stated, so many goodies. :eek:o_O:rockon:

    Audiokarma Member of the Year 2023

    Hey, if my home (850 square feet) houses Ohm Walsh 300's, EV Sentry VI's AND McIntosh XRT20's, you and Emma might get creative and make some space. C'mon, Heather, you can do it! I know, I am an enabler of the worst sort.

    Any former AKOY's wanna show Heather the secret handshake? World domination meeting is at the usual time, at the docks. :rflmao:

    I am having a religious experience; Masters of The Air. Episodes 1&2

    One day back in 2000 or so, perhaps 2001, an old fella with a trachea hole came into our gym. Because of this very off-putting necessity, the little old fella was ignored by the staff. I don't care about such, so I went up to him one day and introduced myself (I was staff, so, it was...

    The final curtain - Mama finally passed away

    Losing a parent is never easy. That's why. Chris, my friend, you WILL find yourself and your purpose, if you allow yourself time to purge, grieve, and reflect on what your mother's life (and it was a long one, full of countless ups, downs and in-betweens) meant, both to her, and to yourself...

    First AK Fest was 20 years ago, Feb 21, 2004

    I was an attendee at AKFest 2008. Had to drive for 10 hours to get there. Boy howdy, I saw so much. I want to say I met Roger Russell, which led me to listening to his newest line array (I forget the name, but a shit ton of 3'' drivers) I went on to buy some XRT20's a decade later. Yeah...

    Caffeine.

    Continue to treat that as best you can, Edwin. You have my utmost respect. With a severely slipped L4 at 19, and scoliosis to boot, I was determined to deadlift 4 wheels a side (405). I went on to do that for 5 reps, at 26 years of age, 5' 9'' and 205 lbs. Bench was a decent 285. Squat...

    Trying an Experiment some will find stupid

    I'd say use whatever the gurus suggest, because I know nothing, sadly. Nichicon and Panasonic are always mentioned as really good.

    RIP Terry DeWick

    Never met the man, but read countless posts by the legendary guru. He just retired some time ago, so this news truly sucks. RIP, legend. You will be missed by both McIntosh enthusiasts and the rest of us that share the love of music.

    Trying an Experiment some will find stupid

    I say that the money spent will be worth it, strictly for the hobbyist side of things. Best of luck, will be watching and hoping for a lovely outcome.

    Is it just me or….

    I bailed on the big receivers a few years back. I know how badly I ache after 51 years, and figured I'd get out before things got truly bad in regard to repairs. Time is undefeated, man.
