Title: Boredom = System Photos.
Post by: SunnyDaze on August 10, 2010, 12:59:37 AM
I think I'm done playing the component shuffle game for a while (unless Mike decides to unload that Dynaco FM-3). Here are some pictures.

Driver's seat. Yeee-aaaa-aaah.

Para-dig-em. The previous owner left explicit instructions. "Don't have kids!"

This box goes deeper than The Hunt for Red October.

If anyone can etch an "1138", I'd be eternally appreciative.

There IS a free lunch.

She tracks like Dog the Bounty Hunter.

"What can YOU do with a mud puddle?", says I to this tuner.

"Extract a usable signal!", replies the clever machine.

Bury me with this. Or cremate me and put my ashes inside of this copper-lined dream.

Looks good SD.    What are you using for cables?

Long insulated and braided strands of copper. You should give them a try, Mike!  :P :P

For my interconnects, I'm using all Acoustic Research Master Reference digitals. Ollie's (the big odd-lots type store) had them on sale for $16 a set. Yes, I bought them all.

For speaker cable, just Monster OFC. I want to say it's 10 gauge. What you see is plastic cable sleeving. I'm totally OCD when it comes to cable clutter. I'm not a HUGE believer in super-high end cabling, but, please, let us not open that can of worms.  ;D ;Dm

I love Ollies....   
   If you have any extra of the AR cables, let me know..

Unfortunately, I do not.

They seem to get them in from time to time. I bought mine in two waves. If they're ever re-stocked and I see them, I'll be sure to pick them up for you.

Thanks SD,   I go to the Ollie's in Butler.. If I ever see them, I will be sure to buy them all..   Those are great Digital cables, I have 6' ones I use from the digital out of my CD players to feed the D/A converters in the Philips DFA-1000.   They outperform other hi-end cables I have from Tributaries, and Monster!!!

Ha. I'm actually using them to carry analog.

Once my bottom end feels a little better, I'll definitely make the trek up there. I had another procedure done over spring break. I don't think this is ever going to end.  :-X
