It would help the 501's cause if I don't have to replace my 8TC (probably with 1 bi-wire pair of 12TC, MSRP around $500 for 6 ft.).

But as I said, this has to wait because of the situation at work. In fact, I learned today 3 people in the unit adjacent to mine were laid off. I'm sure those demo 501s won't wait forever, but I need to wait, at least a while longer.

No need to rush into anything until you are ready...

I noticed on Agon under the McIntosh section someone sells spade to banana adapters so you could easily use your current Kimbers...

Sorry Wabo, feel like I am hanging out in your house...without being invited...

Lol. No worries, KC. You and anyone else have an open invitation. The door is always open.

Yes! Finally, sharks with fricking laser beams attached to their head! Though the ill-tempered sea bass sound intriguing too.

Yeah, that ill-tempered sea bass will do just fine.

I forgot how funny that movie is.

Actually, I thought the post was funny. It was to me.

Anyway, in order to contribute something, and since I have no laser-toting sharks, not to mention a pool for them to swim in, here.

Holy moly!! Is that a pic of the prepress system? Very cool. It's nice to see what we've only heard and imagined it to be. Good work and thanks for sharing that.

Lol. Cracks me up. This is a breakthrough for the 'press. It's all about baby steps. In no time soon he'll be sailing.

Yes maybe I was a bit harsh on him. As longs as he takes his time and does not try to hit ludicrous speed.

I also wouldnt want the press to get all worked up over it.

Waboman,

I picked up the VPI SDS today, rather than have the store ship it. While there, I took another look at your 501s. The demo pair isn't sold yet, but I am pretty sure I'm waiting until October to make a final decision on an amp upgrade.

I did learn that if I got the 501s I couldn't use my Kimber 8TC. The side hole on the binding posts is the wrong size. So it would be either revert to the Tara Labs RSC I still have or get a bi-wire pair of 12TC.

By the way, when you guys post photos, how are you getting them on here so hi-rez looking (some of them, anyway). Isn't there a 500KB limit?

Well, I could fall in love. But that's no fun.

Haha. Just think, now when someone does a search on Christopher Cross, they're gonna get directed to AVS.

Prepress,

Congrats on your new VPI SDS! Way cool. Have you got it hooked up yet? Thoughts? Opinions? Talk to me.

Don't let a little thing like cables keep you away from the 501s.

As for posting hi-rez and larger pics, you need an image hosting site. I use Photobucket. But there are others like Flickr too. Then simply upload your photo to the site and copy it's Img code and paste it on the forum. You don't even need to add the [Img] tags because they're included. Perty fun, yet simple. You can also choose the size of your pics.

Examples:

Here's my famous watermelon cocktails. I took this with my cell phone.


Here's a pic of my TT. I took this with a real camera, i.e. not a cell phone.


More stuff.

No, still in the box. In fact, I haven't opened the shipping box or even taken the rope and handle off. I hope to set it up sometime today after I get home from church.

That looks promising. One pair can use the banana port, and I can use those adaptors for the other pair. I didn't know McIntosh made those. Good find, KC.

Ok, I connected the SDS, which was pretty simple. I used the strobe disc to check proper speed (though I don't think it was absolutely necessary), and listened to four sides: one each from Yes; Bola Sete; Blood, Sweat & Tears; and El Chicano. The records all sounded as I remember them sounding, so the setup is good. Good enough, anyway.

As for an improvement over putting the VPI table straight into my LCR2400, I won't say I heard any big difference. I got the SDS more for control than anything else, as it means I don't have to move the belt around to go from 33-1/3 to 45 rpm speed.

They don't. Those are not OEM. If that matters.
