It has been a while since the last post. Some progress has been made in the charoit. The Otari found a favorable placement on the isolation stage. The Wicked One is now being used as a sub for the Crystal 10s. The couch was replaced with a lazy boy recliner. A thousand or so vinyl, tape, and concert DVDs have been placed for culling. Organized mess Wink

Spent a day cleaning out the audio graveyard(storage room). Ended up placing the 18hz subs from the DJ setup in the listening room. Powered with the 350 watt plate amps set 180 degrees out of phase the subs add that feel of subsonic frequencies to the music that has it. These may become a permanet fixture in the room. It is starting to look like some other prominate room in this forum

That be it, Kamran. Going to make a couple of oak side panels to replace the stock black plastic laminated ones. The oak ones will tilt and bring the 5050 up to a workable seated height but not too much to hide the center channel HT speaker.

The latest acquisition found on a family farm that was purchased new by the family great grandfather in 1928. The granddaughter wanted it to go to someone that would appreciate and use it. The motor runs good but sound box needs rebuilt. Heck, anything this old needs a complete service overhaul to last another century. The cabinet shows its age but solid without any lamination issues. I been looking for a Victrola Orthophonic for a couple months weeding through junk. This unit is one of the most popular units ever produced by Victrola. Its is also at the apex of Victrola's history before the power amplifier proliferation. A great find with minimal outlay!
