| Green Mountain Audio How do you post a picture? I would like to share one of the finished drivers. | |
| Green Mountain Audio Appreciate the recommendations. leather may be a good choice but I am familiar with veneering techniques and a Rosewood or straight grained teak might be just the ticket for these. I also thought about veneer that has a pronounced heartwood color ... | |
| Green Mountain Audio I never met him but have never seen anyone post that he was anything but a true genius and a really nice guy. I saw these in a local ad and couldn’t believe a pair would be tucked away in the middle of nowhere. They were not in the hands of an aud... | |
| Green Mountain Audio Your friend is spot on in many of the discussions I have seen. This one has been refreshingly civil- maybe I should bring up fuses or wire 😉. I have been able to order replacement surrounds and even the tweeter silk dome. Should take a few weeks t... | |
| Green Mountain Audio Dekay, I saw that link as well. I have the drivers pulled and awaiting some feedback from Madisound. ScanSpeak was quick to respond but not much help. My wife is gagging over the look of these things :-0 I appreciate everyone's input thus far. Tr... | |
| Green Mountain Audio It isn’t really marble. It is a synthetic resin. I figured I would practice different techniques on the underside and see what sticks best. The material is very similar to cultured marble shower walls. I believe if roughed up it will hold. I gener... | |
| Green Mountain Audio They are 2 piece and really heavy. I would guess 100 pounds each. | |
| Green Mountain Audio The woofer is ScanSpeak 21W/8552 Classic. Tweeter is also Scanspeak D2010/8513. The midrange is Eton 4-203/25 HEX. The tweeter is still available in a slightly different form. Drivers look high quality. The surrounds were cheap and May attempt th... | |
| Green Mountain Audio I figured as such. Thank you. | |
| 1st full tube amp Oldchen EL34 Thanks for all the responses. After a few hours of listening I am generally pleased with the $150 spent. I may pass on upgrading as I saw the silicone inside and have zero interest in prying stuff loose. It will remain as is and be enjoyed. Tubes ... | |
| 1st full tube amp Oldchen EL34 Rectifier is currently PSVANE | |
| 1st full tube amp Oldchen EL34 Thanks DeKay. I have worked with capacitors in ss amps so I understand the need to discharge for safety. I will order the rectifier and see what happens. I believe this is the same amp. May have also been labeled Laochen on other units. | |
| 1st full tube amp Oldchen EL34 Understood and again this was an opportunity but not a nirvana situation. I have the top of the Line LSA HYBRID that drives my Thiel CS5s and totally pleased. I have a bardominium playground for my grandkids and this is where I like to tinker. Her... | |
| 1st full tube amp Oldchen EL34 I have 2 hybrid amps (ss amp with tube pre) and really like them. This was my first attempt at a pure tube amp and didn’t want to spend a bunch. This presented itself for sub $200. Jasonbourne I understand that you generally get what you pay for a... | |
| Burned Pecan Pi While I have not used Orchard- even though I was tempted- I ran Volumio on a RPI 4 W/HIFIBERRY with great success streaming Tidal. In the year or so I used it I don’t believe I ever had a problem. With the touch screen I found it to be a very func... |
