    I might do the weird thing! Crown amp for my L/R speakers.

    Brightness is simply the tuning (or the lack of) of the particular amp. Quality Class D amps are not "bright". Then again, that goes for any Class amp. It's all down to the voicing. The little NuPrime STA 9 amps that I'm using are in no way bright. They're actually quite smooth and refined...

    Nice little setup, and nice little apartment. Reminds me of the little 900 sq ft 2 bed apartment we had in St Pete several years back. Man, I really miss living in St Pete. And yes, cats and cat beds make good room acoustic treatments. 😺

    There are a few free iPhone/Android apps that do pink noise and white noise as well as signal generators, both sinewave and square wave.

    What Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Looks like I'm the only one keeping this thread alive... Again. Oh well.

    Lost one of our furry family members the other night...

    Well Trouble is back home with his family where he belongs. All we have to do now is pick out an appropriate picture of Trouble to put in his urn, which also happens to be the largest. On a side note, it's so quiet around here without Trouble around "talking" like he used to do all the time...

    A pair of 22 year old SL3's and a lot of Schiit...

    Been tweaking speaker positioning more, adjusting levels, crossover points and such. Really getting these dialed in. The result of all that work was that the AutoEQ in the dbx Venu 360 had to implement a lot less in order to make corrections. Afterwards, I played my reference songs from Phil...

    I might do the weird thing! Crown amp for my L/R speakers.

    Pics or it didn't happen! LOL :p;) Many moons ago, I had a couple of Crown amps, a new (at the time - early 2000's) XTi 1000 for my dual 15" push-pull sealed subs, and a D-75A for the Altec Voice of the Theater 511b horns I was running in my huge open baffle speakers. Both amps were excellent...

    Lost one of our furry family members the other night...

    When my girlfriend and I first got together 12 years ago, about 4 months into our relationship, we decided to adopt a kitten. When at the pet store, this little guy (Trouble) came right up to us, along with his little sister (Charlie). So we adopted both of them. Fast forward to about 5 or 6...

    Those black centers are auto-adjustable, and they auto-adjust randomly. LOL

    Did a thing today... Been itching for a while for some DIY action, and I've had these sitting at the other house for a few years now doing nothing. Figured I'd get them fired back up and actually finish them off properly. Here's the quick and dirty. And please excuse the mess at the moment in...

    Our Tidwell Residence Pipe Organ... (A good read - A trip down memory lane)

    Thanks everyone for the wonderful kind words. I've just been thinking about dad and our times together lately since his birthday is coming up on March 15th, which is exactly the last time we saw him in person last year. The very next day, the place they live locked down the joint thanks to...

    Our Tidwell Residence Pipe Organ... (A good read - A trip down memory lane)

    Unfortunately, I don't have anyone to suggest. My father serviced all of these decks except for the Yamaha. Though during that time, he was starting to get a little forgetful and simple things would stump him, which in turn would aggravate the heck out of him. Things that were so simple, things...

    Our Tidwell Residence Pipe Organ... (A good read - A trip down memory lane)

    Thank you. And yes, that organ had no problems at all rattling the entire house when asked to. Sadly, we ended up having the sell the organ about 20 years ago as “life” happened. None of us wanted to, but in the end, it was our father’s inability to maneuver around in the organ chamber anymore...

    Our Tidwell Residence Pipe Organ... (A good read - A trip down memory lane)

    I started typing this up in the "What Are You Listening To Right Now?" thread, but soon realized it was way too large of a post and way off topic, so made it its own topic thread as I'm sure a lot of you might enjoy reading about it and possibly have questions. Anyway, this is exactly what I...

    What Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Thank you, sir. Pretty much everything I post music-wise is streamed from Qobuz and Tidal via Roon these days. I do however still have a decent collection of vinyl, CD's and cassettes, though the cassettes are self-made copies of said records and CD's from me, my father and all three of my...

    Been a couple of stressful weeks around here with an ill kitty and super busy with work, so I haven't really sat and listened to the system, but last night and tonight I have for a few hours. Here's what I posted in another forum last night... Swapped the 6FQ7's with the 6CG7's and vice...
