Dude, can i play my 10 year old cassette tapes on that thing?

mw said...

i'd need a patch chord from k's boom box to my pre-amp but yes.

remember that 311 album that was only on tape? hydroponic...

Green cover with a cop car.

It lives in my garage, the only place I have a tape player.

thanks dog. that rack in the background holds all the gear. there are three 1-inch diameter pieces of all-thread. the ends are pointed and rest on quarters on the carpet. the shelves are 3/4 particle board with 1/4 masonite on both sides. laminated and then urethaned the shit out of. then there's neoprene washers, metal washers and big ass nuts holding it together. i could only get 2 shelves assembled before it was difficult to lift. i called gersib the first time i had to move it a significant distance.

the speakers are driven with 2 amps per side. 25watt tube amps for the mids and highs and a 200watt transistor amp for the sub.

Chad does throw a hell of an open house! (Thanks again buddy!)

Hey, can you make one of those things for me? Or at least share your cocktail napkins with the design?

mw said...

for the rack? i can send you a drawing and a materials list if you send me the size you want and how many shelves.

mw said...

i have room at the top for a glass shelf to support the turntable alone. but i dont quite wanna throw down 200 for the shelf. maybe someday. i don't really need the room but it would be nice to have it alone at the top.

audio points from the main speak to the sub and from the sub to the ground. they're two piece affairs with a mini point on the end of the big point for some extra height and balance adjustment. i think from madisound.
