Latest project completed

Finally finished a project I have been dragging my feet on for awhile.  The surround on my Vandersteen’s midrange detached.  I have tried  my hand at re-foaming speakers before and didn’t have very good luck with it.  I decided to remove the drivers are send them back to Vandersteen.

Above is me testing them once I got the drivers back and re-installed.  Richard Vandersteen really is brilliant with this design.  Everything is well build but he saves so much money on the finishing just covering it with a sock and some fancy top and bottom plates!

Above you see them under test after I installed the new socks and top and bottom plates.  They sound as good as ever even without proper placement.  Still working on getting this system back up and running.  I have some really nice vintage amplification going on them soon and my highly modified Rega P3 as the main source.

 

 

Happy holidays!

Wishing everyone a happy holidays and hopefully a much better 2021!

This year the holiday season didn’t really hit me until recently when I noticed decorations in the lobby at work!  I do have a few decorations up at home this year but not bothering with a tree or lights. 😅

Oh, on another note I was able to get my hands on 2 personal grails! Signed by the band as well! Limited pressing of 300 each! Been hunting for them on Discogs since I got into the VC.

Night Club signed albums

Nothing else new to report. Hope everyone’s 2021 is better then 2020… I know it’s a low bar!

Teenage Engineering

Anyone ever get a chance to mess with an OP-1 from Teenage Engineering… it looks super cool. You can check out this review of it below.

I am tempted to go find a store selling this thing… I have been watching tons of videos of people working with this think and it seems really powerful and somewhat easy to use for a non-musically inclined person.

Klayton

If you like Industrial music and electronic music with exceptional high quality production check out all of Klayton’s works! This guy is a master. Check out his analog synth… That thing is to die for!
