    Brought all of my speakers out about 3’ from the back wall then played some Leo Kottke and remembered why my LS3/6’s sound so good with Acoustic music....

    I pulled them out from the rear wall another 4 inches.
  • Today's little audio project. The Sumo Athena preamp came with rack mount handles. I made walnut sides with black plastic ends for a more finished look.

    Dropped off a couple of boxes of stuff at the Salvation Army. And, decided to take the extra stereo rack (on the right) as well! :)

    Right now a First Watt F5,and an Aric Audio Unlimited tube pre. At some point I will hook up a pair of Monarchy Audio SM70mkII's. I had my Spendor S3/5's driven by the Monarchy's with great results,so I'm expecting the same with Chartwells.

    Well this is a first for me. After a day finishing up the garage attic flooring, sweating my arse off, decided to go into the basement and fire up the big rig.

    The Cary SLP-05 won't power up. Jeez. So I unplugged it, popped out the fuses, and whoa, a blown fuse!

    Of course I have a ton of fuses, but no T1AL (6mm x 30mm) 1A slo-blo! Dang. Reference pic:

    We will hope it was an idiopathic fuse blowing event :p

    (i.e., not one caused by some downstream malfunction)

    Today's innovation -- "we're" making an air check of the season's first new --episode of NPR's Says You! -- a taping which we attended a couple of months ago in Colchester, VT.

    Not an actual, real-time photo -- in fact, it looks like both the tuner & tape deck are off in this picture... but at least they're there. :)

    Nearly finished the garage attic flooring, but took a respite to move all the empty boxes tucked all throughout the basement and put em up there!

    Very happy that I was able to clear up some space in the basement, and of course the WAF was high!

    And the MC300 box is so huge, it wouldn't fit in the same corner! :)

    I must now place a shout out to @FestYboy whom you may recall, retrieved my original shipping box for the failed transaction on an earlier MC300. This was the 220v version that I backed out on, after already transferring funds to the seller.

    He graciously helped me by retrieving the shipping box (which as you can see is huge) and has not once mentioned "when am I going to get this monstrosity out of my house?" :)

    Dear Arty - I am now ready for you! I'll send you a PM shortly! :)

    What did you do for access to the attic?
    An opening with a removable panel or did you install the drop down staircase?

    Thanks for the pictures. Looks great.
    I am doing the same thing to my detached garage to create a storage space for the electronics boxes, Christmas trees, etc.
    I am using t&g osb instead of plywood for the floor.
    The drop down ladder access is the way to go but it isn’t insulated.
    I have a heat pump and propane garage heater for mine for year round comfort so insulated access is preferred.

    My plan is to move a Technics AVR (late 90’s vintage that I bought brand new) out there with the RTiA3 bookies plus a blu ray player. I can use the AVR tuner, play music cd’s, and watch movies along with 50” flat panel TV.

    I don’t see a garage system in your sig. what do you have in yours?

    Not yet! Right now just running a Polk Camden Square. Streaming via BT. For shame! :) But, got plans. And plenty of extra pieces of equipment! :)

    But, that's not all! We're going forward with a 2nd garage. And, it will be setup for audio! :)

    More thread derailing! How hard is it to do this? Or did you hire a contractor. I miss storing stuff in the attic and I keep passively thinking about looking into the drop down. I'm probably capable of doing it myself, but I certainly prefer having someone who really knows what they are doing... aka I'm hesitant and lazy.

    Pretty straightforward. The ladder is completely assembled, including the wood frame. They’re designed to fit in between normal rafter spacing too.
