Getting the upstairs workshop setup. Lots of misc audio gear everywhere right now, I need shelves. Got a PH16 tube phono stage on the bench, I started it a couple years ago but never completed it. I made the fancy laser cut chassis at work.

It definitely sounds like a power supply issue if you've replaced the panels and the volume imbalance is still there. You should check the bias voltage coming out of the power supply, you will need a volt meter and a resistor in between the positive lead and the power supply to bring the...

Stick an active X-over on the woofer and just bypass the existing passive crossover totally. You get full control over the level of bass you desire and it just sound much, much better. Unfortunately the passive bass crossovers on older Martin Logan speakers were terrible.

My old apartment had thick cement walls so I really never had any issues with neighbors. Electrostatics also fall off big time in volume when you walk outside the listening window so it's usually not as loud as you think.

They will destroy the floor if I push them around, I ordered some big threaded feet rubber pads. Adding slippery feet to one end is actually a good idea, I might have to try that.

I brought home all the parts to put together my giant steel mega speakers and I couldn't resist getting them assembled and put in place. They don't work yet but talk about a visually dominating speaker 😂, they're impossible to move without a fridge cart. I'll be very curious how these sound...

If you buy these speakers I also have an investment opportunity for you. Just wire me $10,000 and you'll get 200% returns overnight! Pinky swear 😜

Lol I never got around to actually running it in a car, it would have been wild though. I'm using a Behringer EPX2800 pro amp, it delivers 1620W into 8 ohms and 2800W into 4 ohms bridged. I think the box isn't ideal, nor is the placement so it'll definitely still need some work to get right.

Hello everyone, sorry for my lack of response, work has been really busy all the way until literally 4 hours ago. Gotta keep those flour mills turning otherwise the world ends 😜. I have been listening to a ton of vinyl lately since I don't even have internet yet. Today I decided to replace my...

So I've now been in this house for a few days and it's just fantastic. I've actually discovered a very nice perk with these speakers, they sound great from both sides... With my weird house layout I can actually sit on my couch at the far end of the house and still get great sound from both...

I'm officially moved in, I love everything about this weird old house I got system #1 setup the first night because my friends and I wanted some tunes after moving everything. I first had my Wharfedale Evo's hooked up since I figured they would sound the best in this weird uneven space but...

I wanna know how you guys stop these monsters from destroying all your furniture. Amps are easy lol

I don't think any amplifier is going to get hot enough to melt extruded plastic. I keep a square of this stuff installed behind the panels of my ESL's so my cats don't sit there, I don't really care if they sit on my amps lol.

Thank you all for the kind words, I do appreciate it. Maybe I'll put in a few late nights at the shop if I have time and get my giant steel ESL speaker project running. It would be cool to show them off in my new place.

Last summer someone poured a huge can of nail polish or some kind of nasty clear paint all over my freshly wrapped Z06. The same car in my profile photo and in this thread. I absolutely lost my mind, so I totally understand your frustrations. Unfortunately just the fact other people exist...

Thank you! It's been a very confusing and stressful process being a first time home buyer and my realtor was a moron, but I think I'm at the tail end of things now. I'm definitely excited to see how I can layout all my various audio gear around the house. I want something in the kitchen...

I can't stop buying BBQs Last summer I picked up a 16" ceramic Vision grill from someone local for $150. About a month ago the hardware store across the street was closing and had everything in the store 40% off, including a huge Kamodo Joe Big Joe ceramic BBQ that's got over 24" of grill...

This stuff works

Well "my apartment setup" will no longer be in an apartment as of December 14th. I spent ALL of my money and am now the proud owner of a 2500 square foot house and I have the entire thing to myself. I will no longer be able to afford buying fancy audio gear but I already have pretty much...

Unfortunately old Porsche's are out of my current budget, I don't need anymore projects right now anyway. I need to build a front splitter for the Z06 over the winter and that will help balance the downforce a bit more. I also need to colour match the back bumper.
