Advice on Setting Up System After Storage

Hello Dave,

Agree with your advice as well. Most likely we will be busy unpacking everything else before I even get to the system. Will probably take a couple of days. Biggest issue will be placing the speakers and finding the right spot for tuning them in. Any suggestions, or just use my ears as I always have.

There arent 8 people here who are going to wait more than 30 minutes to setup and turn it on with the possible exception of tube people.If you have compressed air give the innards a shot and look for seepage,then do a visual[bent casework].If not have lunch and turn volume on real slow after checking connections.If your coming out of Alaska in January let it come to room temp overnight.You are correct,use your ears and other applicable senses before engaging power.It helps to pretend your Casey Jones at times like this,cheers,Bob

Agreed Bob,

As Tom Petty says, "The Waiting Is the Hardest Part", but the spouse will set the priorities. With respect to Casey Jones, I always enjoy giving my kids a start by playing the Power & the Majesty first thing in the morning to get them up. Either that or the canon shot and bells from the 1812 Overture.

Absolutely the best way to start the day 94968.I once in the 60's bought a special effects record,wish I still had it.Trains,planes taking off,explosions,lots of industrial bombast I've forgotten to mention.To be a kid again in the magic bus parked on Telegraph in Berkeley....thanks,Bob
