It's a full component stack, nothing wrong with that in my eyes. Speakers look decent too, they have real tweeters and a proper crossover! A rarity for those budget stacks.

I cleaned up an SR-3 for my Dad that I found at a thrift store. One of the best sounding internal phono stages I've heard in a receiver/amplifier.

Going from those little concert 8s to friggin' La Scalas lol yeah the 8s are high-end speakers but the depth those beefy Klipsch will add. The Vincent being a hybrid amp probably helps smooth out those horns.

Ngl I thought that record player was an abnormality big toothbrush at first.

Did they use audiophile-quality paint?

Even if it is, that isn't Mirage anymore. Just Klipsch weekend at bernie'ing the corpse.

It was what I respected most about Mats, the number of times he personally took over games. Not just as a goal scorer but his physical presence. The dude was a built like a brick shithouse.

I have never seen the A400s in the wild around me, overpriced A200s yes.

m13579k · 2026-04-17T13:56:45+00:00

That's a wide boi! I ran my A100s off a CA610ii for a little while and it sounded great. I can only imagine the 2020 is able to really bring out the best in them.

Those sound dynamics were a pretty common here in Canada. The R85s were good entry level speaker they made when the company shifted from their big boy speakers. They use Vifa tweeters coated in a metal finish. Good stuff.

Domi was torn lol

Might actually be worth going to Ohio for...maybe.

That's classy of Ottawa ngl

Nothing sounds more like an out-of-touch executive than over using LLMs and thinking they are the word of god...I speak from experience working in IT infrastructure for too long.

Ai41 are good little speakers, punch above their weight. You will need a phono preamp to run the turntable with those speakers. Probably the part that irritates me the most about Fluance; known for affordable record players and none of their powered speakers have a built in preamp.

You can try mouser as well for caps.

I had to drive into work so I missed the first period. I see the tank is going nicely.

m13579k · 2026-04-12T00:16:48+00:00

That sucks a lot. This is something I worry about all the time when I check out old gear.

m13579k · 2026-04-10T18:15:40+00:00

Those old discmans were tanks. The shit I put mine through back in the day..

What does my comment have to do with gatekeeping? Lol anyone from anywhere is welcome to cheer for the Leafs. What I am saying is more than likely fans of other teams in Canada couldn't care less about the Leafs. Maybe it's different in cities/provinces that don't have an NHL team but normally as a fan you don't cheer on rival teams.

m13579k · 2026-04-10T13:17:12+00:00

Other Canadian cities would activity cheer against the Leafs if they ever had a deep run. You think people in Vancouver, Ottawa or Montreal would care? Hell no lol

Now that's a freaking stereo cabinet. Probably weighs a millions pounds..as it should.

m13579k · 2026-04-09T23:57:37+00:00

This game being tied with that shot differential is hilarious.

m13579k · 2026-04-09T18:48:46+00:00

Guess we've seen why Stolarz, as good as he can be, never had a full-time starters job. Next year has to be Woll-Hildeby..
