Just hard to double the price....but hard to buy her cheap too

He he, I was looking at those yesterday. I can't deny their results, but if I go FI, it will be with Hellion.

I LOVE this engine! Going to order a forged rotating assembly and shoot for 9K. The current tune cuts out at 7.8 and the bitch still pulls with the Boss intake.

Hopefully I can get next week off and get on a dyno and check the tune fully.

Ordered a Roush grill kit and OEM foglights to move them to the lower corners.

I need to build some ramps too as neither of my low profile jacks fit under the car.

wish ford would have put it in the exploder

Preamp tubes. Telefunken is the one I am loving right now.

Sexy tubes Seth.

Thanks Neal!

 

I am really happy with the Tung Sol driver tubes I am running now so I wanted to play with the preamp side of things. The Telefunken cost a lot more than I promised myself I would spend on a single tube (cost more than both the Tung Sols combined), but right now I can say I understand what all the hype is about NOS tubes. Even with them barely broken in (paid for a 24 hr burn in) the soundstage got WAY bigger. Bottom end is noticeably more extended, top end is more extended, and vocals really seemed to wake up quite a bit. They offer high gain options with these tubes, but I decided to forgo that option to stave off the microphonics concern common in small plate preamp tubes. You really want your preamp  quiet as possible because your drivers will boost any unfavorable noise, harmonics, and microphonics. Honestly though, the gain on this tube is considerably greater than my stock preamp tube. The amp is nearly twice as loud (audibly) as it was with the stocker in there.

You are making me want something I have no need for Seth.

[sandt38 448]

Want = need, my friend!

[MKader17 332]

Mmmm, one day I'll have a tube and headphone set up.

[MKader17 332]

I really want surround sound fully powered by tubes but I'm sure that gets a weeee bit expensive.

[MKader17 332]

Sean, any update/review on the Menzerna wax?

Detailed image is having a 20% off sale.

Depends. Butler makes a 5 channel amp that retails for ~$3k. You can find them on Audiogon for a grand if you are patient.

Granted, it's a hybrid, but Butler does great stuff with hybrids

What is your favorite fast food chain fry?

[mikel7829 90]

I like McDonald's fry's the best i would have to say...Krystal's chili cheese fry's next,Then probably Wendy's with a cup of their chili from the $1.00 menu...Besides that I hate all the fast food burger joints..I will not eat their burgers,I don't even like burgers except if they are homemade of the grill..Then I can eat 4 or 5 of them,I will eat a Double quarter lb.from McDonald's every once in a while..Besides that They all suck and will make me gag!! I will eat a sack full of Kyrstal's though from time to time as well..

How many of you are old enough to remember Bloom County?

 

I never got into comics, but something about Opus, Wild Bill, Milo, and Steve always made me laugh. Berkeley Breathed decided to revive the stip after 25 years of absence... Comic gold, I tell you.

My favorite was probably Garfield...I remember in the very early 80's they was a store in the mall close to the town I was born..Called Readmore...sometimes I would be able to get me one of the Garfield comic books if I was good "and was not often" my next favorite was Heathcliff..
