500 v 2x300 active?

Think you might find the lower volume sound, with the 500dr is even better than the 300dr, as i found the performance of my fact 12’s with the 500dr at low volume was one of the things i found stood out the most

Yes, Dunc. Someone did mention that to me.

In terms of lockdown, tier 3 here and unchanged today as far as I can tell so still ok for Pete to come as it’s work. We have a mechanical heat recovery ventilation system that will be on maximum and that is more effective than open doors I think (the Christmas tree in the front room is in the way of that door opening anyway)

TimOopNorth - thanks for the reply re the 808 sound vs the sl2…sounds like you may have found your end game…congrats and enjoy!

Fingers crossed for you, it would be an all round disappointment if they were delayed at this late hour. Masks and a ventilation system should be pretty safe for you with a good wipe down afterwards of anything you’re likely to come into contact with over the next few days. It’s a bizarre reality when your first listen of a huge upgrade will be in a situation where a mask and hand sanitiser play a big part, it’s like something from a wacky 70s sci fi film

Perhaps you could be kind enough to ask Pete to give me a call to see if we can arrange some way of getting the SL2s to me

this look chaotic enough for you all? :grin:

Pete has had to go for the second load of stuff now - his car isn’t big enough :crazy_face:

That lot came in a car? :joy:

Forgot to say I spent an hour before Pete arrived crawling into the various loft recesses to recover various boxes (it’s a bit claustrophobic in one bit for which I am really too old and fat to access) and then did getting on for a dozen trips to bring them all down. Should have had a shower after that, not before :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

Colin - no these are all that have to be taken away :crazy_face: and it’s taking two trips to cart it all (the dem 808s, supercap, snaxo, two 300s, SL2s, core, mm think that’s it at 13 boxes - plus base and five levels of fraimlite being replaced by full fat fraim - sadly some of that will have to be new as Pete hasn’t got enough light cherry used. Well, he doesn’t have any light cherry used!

Only took him an hour to start talking about an S1 pre… sadly don’t have the space :man_shrugging:

I suppose talking him into delivering the SL2s to me after all that is probably out of the question then :rofl: :joy: :rofl: :joy:

@Gazza forgotten the name but you mentioned the mains block with sparkly base - Pete is going to supply me with one to try out in the new year

There is version 4 coming out Tim in January, sorry…:woozy_face: The current Musicworks G3 distribution box is very very good and it’s all about managing the interface between box and floor.
I might start a new thread on that, as I’m sat here putting my tin hat on! :rofl: Enjoy today’s project Peter
