    RIP Terry DeWick

    That really saddens me. I had several dealings with Terry. He was a great tech and a super human. He will be sorely missed.

    Linear Tracking Turntables...

    I got started with linear tracking TT's by accident. I bought a Mitsubishi LT 30 for the cartridge. When I got it home I figured I might as well listen to it since it's here. It's been in the system since then. I also bought a LT-5V and played them together and couldn't tell a difference...

    I was sure I had posted the pics once before but couldn't find it by going back through the pages or using the search. I must have been asleep at the wheel as usual. Mike

    Let's See Your Miscellaneous Car Photos

    Here are a few of the rigs I've owned over the years. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. First up is me in 1968 after I had put a B & BP W 30 455 Olds in place of the tired 330. Next is my 74 Celica GT. Then a 75 Datsun that a outfit put CJ 2 front ends in. It would climb a tree...

    What to do with these Altec Valencias?

    They have been bypassed and left in place. It's been fun experimenting with different crossover frequencies and being able to adjust it on the fly.

    Do you mean active crossover? If so I use a ART CX311. Here is a link so you can check it out if interested. https://artproaudio.com/product/cx311-2way-crossover-with-subwoofer-out/ Mike

    McIntosh knob puller

    Heating the knob first with a hair dryer or heat gun on LOW might prolong the life of the tool you designed. Looks like a great design to me. Mike

    What to do with these Altec Valencias?

    I would just use an active crossover so you can tune it to whatever sounds the best to you. In case the box & mounting differences might affect the original 800 Hz. crossover point. On my 846B model I went active and use 1200 Hz. as the best sounding (to me) crossover point.

    MC275 joins damacman's lair

    Tony, you have no idea how thrilled I am that you are really enjoying it. Those XRT's must sound awesome for sure. Anybody that likes Dire Straits and Mark Knopfler can't be all bad. :) Enjoy the music my friend. Mike

    Mcintosh 2100 thoughts

    Also when working to factory specs it puts out around 145 WPC at clipping. So the 105 WPC is conservative which is one of Macs hallmarks. Long before the FCC had to step in and bring reality back to published specs for almost everyone else.

    MC275 joins damacman's lair

    I'm glad you are happy and really relieved it arrived in good shape. It's in good hands I know. Let me know how it and the IC's sound to you.

    Movies you have been waiting for

    The third Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law. Those two have a special chemistry in the first two movies.

    How many power amps is too many?

    Thanks for the kind words Tony. I would love to visit sometime to check out your system and of course the Olds. :)

    What current production 12ax7s do you recommend?

    That's what I used in a 275 I had.

    How many power amps is too many?

    It was and it wasn't if that makes any sense. I didn't want it to just sit around but I hate to see it go at the same time. I think it's going to a good home so part is a relief.

    How many power amps is too many?

    I'm down to just two in the system. I did have a fairly nice 275 but someone talked me out of it.
