My Constant State of Change System...

Just reinstalled the IsoAcoustics iso-200sub isolators under the JL's. Man, putting the subs on these and getting them off the suspended wood floor, it's like the subs gained a solid 3+ dB of output below 30 Hz, now easily pumping out very usable output below 20 Hz. I actually had to turn the gains down a touch. Apparently, the suspended wood floors soak up a lot of that low frequency energy. I listened to the Greyhound soundtrack (Tom Hanks movie) the other day with these subs, and there was plenty of deep bass, but not like now. Now it's really deep.

And of course, my "little" music girl, Charlie.

Nice chilled out space that, Charles (love the puss, what's his or her name?), and no doubt a great place to enjoy some great sounding music and movies!:cool:

Thank you, and her name is Charlie.

Love cats, mate. And I'm sure she enjoys that lovely living space as much as you:)

Give Charlie a nice treat for me!

As long as there's music playing (which the system is always up and running 24/7), she's out here chilling in the room. And if I'm here, she's typically right along side me wrapped around my arm.

I gave her a couple of treats a little while ago actually, along with the other 5 kitties. They're very spoiled. LOL

I did a few more things recently... Sold the Music Hall mmf-7.3 turntable and Schiit Mani to my oldest brother, drove 130 miles round trip to pick up an absolutely mint Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 2 amplifier, installed taller shelf poles and cross braces for my Vulcan rack to make room for that huge amp, and removed all of the cabling coming from and going to the stack of cassette decks in the back of the room for now.

Removed those trim pieces on either side of the face. I think it looks much better.

On Christmas Eve, one of my brothers came over with his Emotiva XPA DR-2 amp for me to try out in my system for a while, being able to directly compare it to my Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 2. He just purchased an integrated tube amp and also just ordered a Doge Audio tube preamp that he's waiting on to be built. So in the meantime, he's letting me run the DR-2 in my system. Plus this is a comparison I wanted to do anyway, just for fun.

And with either amp in the system, my kitties still enjoy hanging out in here chilling to old jazz, classical and old rock. Well, any music really. LOL
