And those separates are gorgeous!

Thanks. I kinda liked the old Yamaha gear.

Absolutely, I like the old Sansui stuff to. They just don't make things like that anymore.

My very first integrated was a Sansui AU-5900 brand spanking new, present from my dad, speaker was a pair of Tamon (don't even know what that brand has morph to), and a Sony cassette deck TC-136SD (I think). Whoa.

Thats right biaches, i modified my GFA-555 with dual flux capacitors... that's 1.21 jwpc (jiggawatts per channel)

I see you made the tape deck B door removal mod. I heard it really opened up the mids.

Hm...You're gonna have to show me how to do that once I get my Adcom. I think the dual flux capacitor mod would be the most worthwhile upgrade to my system.

Have you considered quad flux capacitors? I bet that would be even better...:p


Rich-Those are some gorgeous Yammy separates. They look like their brand new.

Can't it would require 3 phase power and I only have 100 amp service.

Wow...I don't know how I could have missed that fact. It seems so obvious now...lol

Thanks Curt! I use a pressure washer.

Basically my flux capacitor mod took me to Galaxy Class THX Ultra Reference IV. I'm pretty happy where I'm at at this point.

That it did, that it did... Cost more than the original unit for the mods.

Removed the dust cover for the TT, and purchased the TT Fairy Dust that was applied strategically around the platter. Once the MIT's were added........fahgeddaboutit. The eq was modified for better definition between channels.

And most important, was the modified buttons on tape deck A. Really rounded out the overall dynamics.

Of course, to the untrained eye. But in reality, it's been removed for replacement. I found a specially treated wooden knob for a sweet 4-figure price.

I should see enough improvement in bass response to eliminate one of my subs. Saweeeet.

You should look into getting a Monster Cable decal for it as well. I've heard that using one of those can actually double your power output. They're also well known for removing all traces of distortion from your system.

That in combination with your 4-figure wooden volume knob...and you'd have the most rocking system you could possibly have. There would be absolutely no way to upgrade it.

Pffffffft...... Mine has Big Blue Badass caps! Game over!

I just picked up an Anti-gravity mass petrometer for my Onkyo earlier. I haven't installed it yet...after I do though...look out! It's going to be blowing away 10,000 dollar amps after that mod.;)

It's really funny...all of you guys think you know what Hi-Fi is? You have no idea...the only way to really understand the meaning of the word is by hearing this.

My World Class, Reference Grade, Goldstar 5300 Mini-component system. Complete with Toshiba CDP that was produced in 1986.

You'll notice immediately that it displays it's enormous amount of power output right on the front, so everyone knows just how badass it really is. With an unprecedented 50 watts per channel, it's plenty to rock even the biggest stadiums with ease.

Your eyes are then drawn to the ultra high-tech 5 band graphic equalizer, complete with balance control!! Not also, the complete lack of a volume knob. This World Class piece of equipment uses the much superior two-way button, for extremely precise control of volume. This unit also offers the convenience of automatically turning the volume all the way up upon powering up.(seriously...lol) Don't forget to turn that volume WAY down before you press play!

Moving down to the CD player...which is also a World Class Reference quality piece of equipment. You'll immediately see the extraordinarily huge "play button". This is to maximize your ability to hit the play button. It really comes in handy while you're wasted, and can't seem to work the stereo quite right. This has helped me on numerous occasions.

Now we move on to the mods that have been performed on this stellar unit.;)

Here you can see the "let my friend borrow it because he didn't have a stereo, and he dropped it and f-ed it up beyond all hell mod". This made the sound quality go up like you wouldn't believe. I've also recently performed the "covered in dust" mod...which has also made the SQ go way up. It really helped clear the midrange up after I let it get covered in dust. I recommend that all of you try it.

I know...I know...you're all really jealous of my awesome Hi-Fi equipment.

Maybe someday a select few of you will get a chance to demo it though...for a small fee of course.:p;)

Found it in the local thrifty nickel...oversized cable connectors, high-pressure inverted upside-down reverse osmosis water cooled output capacitors, class ABCDEFG...just in case one of em goes down and oversized feet bearings...never know when your gonna need those for such a beast as this...oh its Reference quality...so dont worry.:eek::eek:

I am assuming that it has all the right stuff in the Amp section....the stickers dont reveal whats really going on behind that exquisitley wrapped black box. Inside lies the most sought after amp design ever...dual squirrel cage over under slung cable inner outer push pull outputs and of course last but certainly not least...FUBAR capacitors

You've got it partially right. I was going to try to type in the amplifier topology, but it would take me the entire night to really describe it.

One thing though...the squirrel cages actually have dwarf Emu's in them. That's another mod I performed myself.

Damn, I gotta get mine upgraded...how much you charge for that mod...are the emus corn fed?
