And remember, we're werewolves now swearwolves! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxt2DSWS_eI The perfect movie to demo your Frankenstein system? I'm partial to documentaries. https://youtu.be/W2w3H_oLSIU?t=3 |
I started out in high school hot wiring portable radios and tape players to larger external speakers. Does that count? I also built a few radio kits back in those days to get started. As an innocent 7 year old I stuck a sewing needle into a cartridge to get it to play my first records. It worked! I heard music! Several electrical shocks along the way playing with the phonograph transformed me into the electrifying hifi creature I am today.😁 |
I recently moved into the mountains of Central Nevada and put together a little system for use with my Solar/Battery power source. Some components were 2nd system, like the Spica TC50 speakers and Pioneer VSX 522 Receiver. For the TT I'm using an Technics SL-10 that was collecting dust. I took a Jolida JD-9 Phono Pre from my main system. I use an old iPhone 6 for digital playback. The system is nice and the big surprise is the Ortofon OMP 10 cartridge with a OMP 30 stylus, talk about make for each other. The 310MC cartridge that came with the SL-10 died many years ago, that's why it was unused. My main system is 300 miles away and I only get to enjoy it when we're in town for Doctor's appointments and such. |
At WSU I had transmission lines built from Roger Sanders design in Speaker Builder. The 10" woofers were from JBL L25. On top were some car audio speakers, Pioneer maybe, I forget. Powered by Kenwood integrated. TV back then had 1/8" jacks for hearing aids or something. An RCA adaptor and the TV became my audio source. So I had Home Theater decades before it became "a thing". |
