Interesting monoblock setup with the fans! A friend had active Acoustats back in the 80s.

Impressive build and attention to detail. Interesting to see you have/had springs under your amps. I've started using them to good effect.

Added a Samsung 65" 4k TV to the second system. Why have I waited so long? This may seriously challenge the vinyl experience!

Music Room - Could be…. Anywhere…

Ah, I see. Makes sense. I've a 25R with some DIY mods - 4 x bulk foil input resistors in the input circuit, and main HT electrolytic cap replaced with a Clarity Cap. Big upgrade. I also use these t...

Looks a million bucks. I had to read the note to realize it was an average room, transformed.

Newb 2000$ ballpark

Nice and well put together. Have you tried pulling the speakers out about 3-4 feet into the room? It'll improve imagining.

Hi Anthony. Thanks. My walnut later model 401 neon works. It needs the 110v bulb. The original won't strike at 110v. My slate early 401 neon is disconnected for better(?) sound.

Welcome to the concrete block rack fan club. Curious why you have what looks like paper under your turntable feet. I'd strongly recommend you sit it on a level sheet of glass or maple. The speakers...

Mahgister's non-conventional system or top Hi-Fi for the poor

Added Vishay z foil resistors to Croft 25R phono preamp. Wow, what an improvement.  Clearer, faster, blacker, vocalist and instruments more fleshed out and more human. I'd like to replace more.

Hi Dan. As you've not noticed an improvement after the idler replacement, I'm almost hesitant to recommend replacing the 401 bearing. I replaced mine with a SPH bearing - bigger, POM bushing and gr...
