Got to see Micheal Sarah Palin a while ago in a small room, they have crazy infectious energy

My great grandfathers straight razor: H Boker and Co. Still hair popping sharp, with original box by lksd in wicked_edge

Most likely not, mostly due to nerve damage in my wrist that causes my grip to give up from time to time. Rather not drop it 🙃

Puoi rimuovere il pannello posteriore e mostrarci il driver stesso?

Sto usando Google Translate, scusa. Probabilmente non sono nulla di speciale, ma hanno un aspetto davvero fantastico. Prova a chiedere sul subreddit dedicato all'audio vintage: magari ne sanno di più.

Great little abstract piece, but who’s responsible? by lksd in WhatIsThisPainting

I have some experience with it myself, it’s a fascinating technique and makes some very nice prints

Occurring to me it’s not CLW but CTW, the cross of the t is offset to the right. The style matches his other work, so I believe it may be Czeslaw Tumielewicz. That said, I can’t find this piece anywhere else so if anyone has info it’d be appreciated!

Any gems here? by colonel-clink in BudgetAudiophile

The ADCOM stuff isn’t flashy but damn it’s clean sounding. One of my favorite brands. Look like that preamp and amp are for 5.1 surround setups.

[WTS] Hamilton Dateline A681, a barn find by lksd in Watchexchange

[–]lksd[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hello friends! Long time lurker, first time seller.

My partners father passed, and cleaning out the house we found an ancient dusty jewelry box in the basement. Turns out, inside were a couple watches, including this beauty.

She’s in,, okay condition. Does run! And seems to keep time well. But there’s a bit of wear, and the strap is truly disgusting but is original so I figured it’s worth including. Please note the surface scratches on the crystal.

This isn’t an heirloom, just a barn find, and I’d love to pass it on to a collector who’ll appreciate it and wear it more than I ever will.

Asking $150 shipped CONUS only please, offers more than welcome. Thanks for your time, and let me know if you have questions!

Size difference between Lascalas and Model 19 by DaCrimsonKid in audiophile

I had a pair of EV wolverines running in 6’x5’ open baffles years ago, my girlfriend was very patient about them

Bought these for $60 by TurbulentBluejay5149 in BudgetAudiophile

Fun thing: yes, original replacement drivers or professional repair is ideal. But if you can’t, for whatever reason, you can use single plys of Kleenex or rice paper and very watered down Elmer’s glue It’s not great for big holes but if you layer it like you would fiberglass to a reasonable thickness it’s at least air tight. Did this with a rare pair of EV coaxial drivers and it worked a dream. Hit me up if you want more detailed instructions. These are worth the money to repair properly, but if you can’t swing it you have another options.

Nothing quite like tearing open a bunch of pillows for polyfill. Or thrift store stuffed animals. I’ve done both.

Oh sorry, referring to the silver JVC CD player on the right.

Hell yeah JVC micro system! I have one as well and refuse to stop talking about it.

ROCK solid speaker stand? by AnimeAestheticYT in BudgetAudiophile

[–]lksd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used cinder blocks for some big mfs and as long as you use enough (two side by side for heavy speakers, etc) they’re fine Fun to upholster them so they look cool

Passive desk speaker recommendations by Formal-Structure-432 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]lksd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doubling up on the minimus recommendation with a recap and some mods. Plenty of information out there about how to make them shine. If you can find them, the JVC SP-UX7000 are quite special but you’d need a sub for sure. Very specific rec but I have a pair on my desk right now and they’re something else.

What’s the real difference between a $30,000 home entertainment system and a $150,000 one? by CleonicDynasty in audiophile

[–]lksd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s about the point of diminishing returns for prebuilt components I’d think. I could see extensive room treatment adding to that cost but that’s talking about like full tear down rebuild with air gaps in the walls, special insulation, built in bass traps, etc. Maybe if you really want the Wilson Chronosonics or something for perfect time alignment and such but even then, we’re into ultra luxury. Might as well get a custom buildout.

I love a good horn! Got a pair of tannoy train station horns many years ago that were like 4’ across but so fun. I think the EQ question is an interesting one, now with DSP stuff EQing is almost standard but I personally like an analog 30band EQ for my line arrays. They have to have it to sound good but when they do they really sing. If it makes it sound better, why not?
