TFM-55 is back in de' house!!
« on: February 05, 2010, 10:44:44 PM »
Well, it took me until 8:30 tonight to get free so I could put my TFM-55 back into the setup.  I snapped a picture of the cover that Bob signed.  Nice message!  (See below).  I haven't had a chance to let'er rip, so to speak - the chitlin's being in bed and all (so is the wife), but I am listening to Floyd - Pulse (on vinyl) at a nice easy listening level.  Already listened to side 1 of Steely Dan Aja and side 1 of record one of The Last Waltz by The Band.  Forgot how good this setup sounded with the TFM in the setup.

I'll try and push the limits tomorrow - after a good warmup session (Gotta get the wife and kids out of here for a couple of hours).  Can't wait to play it like it was meant to be played - loud!!  :P

I am confident that an SL-1200 is capable of outperforming turntables of much higher expense with minor modification.

Okay, I've had some opportunity to open it up.  Freaking great!  However, now I can hear that I have a rattler in one of my Polk tweets.  Next weakest link.  You all know how it goes.  (Still, only got the meter to half way - that is all my wife would allow for now!! - But, she is slowly caving in to the power - it will eventually overcome her, I know it will :P)

Okay,  I work 1 mile from my house, and get 1 hour for lunch.  Wife was working yesterday, kids were in school, and I had 1 hour (give or take), so I opened it up.  Played Police - side 1 of Ghost in the Machine - got the meters slightly past halfway (I didn't want to go much above that as it was after all on vinyl - so had to watch for vibrations from the 1C's).  Plus, my ears were short of bleeding  :P :P (j/k).  Then I played a U/K EP of Pearl Jam - the song was called "Wash", which is one of my favorites from them.  Then I put on Eric Clapton - Unplugged (only could get through first 3 songs). 

HOLY CRAP!!!!![/size]  That is all I can say.  I still didn't get the my volume knob on my HR772 past half way.  I need a bigger room!!! :D
