REAL SOUND EXPERIMENT PT XI - Rainy Sunday in the garage...
Rain is bouncing on the garage door, I've a big mug of tea by my side and my lug 'oles are listening to Radio 4. I recieved a nice package from Hi-Fi Collective.
The speaker cable has attached to my 300B, this now means that I can keep the "REAL SOUND" system in place and I can play around with speakers at will. As you can see from the above picture my 15's had some nice binding posts attached, but closer examination revealed them to be brass . The binding posts have now been replaced with Cardas high purity solid copper. You can also see my IC's fitted with the recommended RCA's from Jeff Day's website, this are to be replaced with Duelund RCA's with extremely high purity copper content.
After a little surgery....
Lovely new binding posts. These really do make a difference. Here's a quick picture of the mounted XO in the 15's, note Duelund bypass cap installed.
The IC's really do need to be upgraded with the new RCA's. I'll probably do this at some point in the week when I have a little spare time. I did make a start, but a lovely plate of food and some nice wine beckons...
Setting up the TD160 Super has been a little annoying, never ever assume things are level!
I need to order some levelling feet with a degree of isolation from the other components in the system, that's another job for another night. We now have music playing, the cart's be aligned and the tonearm properly set-up. I think that's it for tonight...
Stay tuned......
