Audiodon's systems

[tube-a-lou]

Hi,
Thanks, they do look good and I'm sure they sound great. will have to look into
those, oh by the way I did your upgrade in my Fisher. I put in .1UF's in the Phase/
Splitter area, And wow it does sound better, more open a little brighter which I
wanted and louder, maybe the .047 were really holding back the sound.

Thanks again

The speaker stands were a trade with AK'er furnitureguy.

Ok,
I put spikes on AK'er furnitureguy's speaker stands over the weekend. That added some focus to the mix. At the end of the day the details matter.

I put spikes on the bottom of the legs

Furnitureguy made me some new top cross-members to match my speaker size. He calls them rafter tails. He put the mounting inserts in the rafter tails also before sending them to me.

I got the spikes here:

The bottom of the BC1s have a bit of elmer's tack underneath the nickel floor pads, just to hold them in place. They're dimpled floor pads, so the location should be repeatable without marring the bottom of the speakers with spike scratches.

I got myself a present . . . a mofi pressing of "The Concert Sinatra" and WOW do those speakers pop now. Purty good with Def Leppard's "Photograph", Porcupine Tree's "The Sound of Muzak" and also with Beethoven's 7th Symphony.

Hi-Fi Verbage....

The speaker cables are Nordost Blue Heavens.

According to the condescendi,

Don -

With your kind permission, may I use this term - Brilliant!

Feel free to turn my idea into your idea. I didn't think anyone would catch that, but I had fun writing it.

Just visited this forum for the first time and saw what a beautiful system you have Don.

 

[clydeselsor]

Awesome system!

 

[gigbyt]

Is it possible to calculate the measure by which the SOUND of this system

eclipses the Aesthetics of this Handsome system.

I'd say 10 years well spent,

And heres to the next ten..............

I've made some updates.
A new armwand, or whatever they're called on an SME 3009 series III, allowed me to have someone who cares about me set up my AT20SS Limited Edition MM cartridge with a new stylus. The sound is oh-so-smooth!. It's far smoother than the Shure, and that surprises me. But, it's what it is.

Additionally, my keeper Fisher 500-C has been misbehaving and has to go back on the bench. I thought I'd completely rebuilt it, and I had, but it's pretty amazing how much more you can learn in three years about what constitutes a complete rebuild . . . that's how long since it's been on the bench.

So anyhoo . . . I put that Fisher 500-C that had a visit to both gigbyt's house and, sadly, was badly shipped to kpaxfaq's house.
But, it's all fixed now and has been waiting for some steady action anyway. So, it's back in play.
I have to say, it's sound is simply startling!
This particular 500-C is truly magical sounding. Moreso than any other one that's graced my bench.

 

[gigbyt]

that 500c took a licking but it keeps on ticking,LOL.

 

[gigbyt]

This particular 500-C is truly magical sounding

I'm glad your hearing it too,
i thought maybe my ears were playing tricks on me or something as that 500c just sounded so GOOD.:thmbsp:

Gigbyt,
You've got to convince the boss that it's solid state.
Nah, all she'd have to do is hear it and she'd know . . .
