Yes indeed, Yours truely is home alone to indulge his vices.
My darling bride would surely soil herself if she walked in to see the new table defiled in such a manner.
The Peerless towers are up and burning in, and I'm repairing my HK preamp as I listen to some old Level 42.

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I went to Louisiana for the fourth and just returned. The wife and kid are staying for 2 more weeks (yay hooooo!)
On to the replies

The stuff on the scope is only musuc. I was midstream of checking in and out on xy mode to look for phase distortions. I wanted to check which of my preamps had less phase distortion.

The new peerless towers have a 811815 tweeter and 2 6.5" HDS woofers without the phase plugs. I'm presently running my first version of a first order crossover. I'll tweak on it after they're burnt in for a while. The woofer in the side is a Dayton Parts Express Titan 12" . It can produce a 15hz sine wave that you cant hear, but every picture on the wall rattles and every window in the house flexes 1/4" peak to peak. sounds like a helicopter is in the living room hovering.

I smoked the pioneer sx950 on accident by shorting the outputs.:bawling: :bawling: :bawling:

Luckily I did this after fixing My HK 100wpc amp that was to replace it driving the subs

Post away guys. This is fun seeing the messes we can make of a house! I'll try to post some more pics later.
 
Check out my Ebay find. It's a CTF950. new retail was $600 in 1979. The scratch above the cassette doesn't look nearly that bad without a camera flash. I never thought a cassette could sound so good. Except for the background hiss, you can barely tell recording from cd.


PS I paid less than $50
