On no Sister, this just won't do! Honey do you even own a color chart? Start all over, and organize darkest to lightest, then tallest to shortest. Some little doilies on the shelves under the books wood do a whole lot of fabulousness child!
And honey please...an Orange chair in a zen room?
And who picked out that wall color... The Atlanta department of Corrections?
And ...hey stop...sister please!...get the heck outa my...oh snap!
Wow! I was channeling Richard Simmons there for a minute...Uh nice job Fitz.
You almost made me spit out my drink.
Actually the walls do look better at jail... this place is pretty bad. The thumbtack holes and old anchors from who knows what are like a decorative pattern on the walls. And in a white room, one wall is purple, just one, and for no apparent reason. I've never had the motivation to paint it myself, so I just live with it.
Finished shoe-horning a rebuilt maggie console amp w/upgd OPTs and dual opamp tone stage into a salvaged Tivo S2 case tonight. Like how it turned out but took wwwaaayyy longer than I expected (what's new sure learned a lot!) Did take a break to make a portable Tilt EQ and one or two other little projects....
That's a little rebuilt/recased SI t-amp sitting on top of it... Progress is interesting here as both amps crank out within several watts of each other, yet somewhat of size, weight, and power requirements differences
Here's some other shots... The bottom one showing the tight fit in the the S2 case, the orig OPTs, the preamp/tone stage, etc.
BTW, my liking of SOHAs is sorta what spawned this adventure & with a little attention, these old maggies aren't a bad way to try out tubeness.

Didn't mean to offend, I'll restrict myself to only post amp DIY builds here from now on.
Hey, *I* didn't mean to offend... I enjoyed the shelving thing & was cracking up at swt61's Simmons bit esp. the bit about the paint.
Guess I have a twisted sense of humor, please don't take what I said wrongly... I was mostly making an excuse for me to post a non-head-fi based build (& an eccentric, wacky one at that
> Who left the door open again?
Yeah, I don't get it.
It's all fun man, and these are all builds

I liked it anyway, but the TIVO case makes it all that much cooler IMHO.

Thanks... There probably aren't /won't be too many like it at least... Thing was that a friend dropped the Tivo S2 off as it turns out they are useless w/o a subscription and Tivo is always offering package deals where you basically get the unit for free w/one year of service. So pulled the HD out & added it to my S2 DT & didn't want to just chuck the case... So it was a free case at least, well where my time is free anyway

Need pretty efficient speakers w/either of them... Hmmm, smells like another project for me....

espadon_vn: That's a nice little setup! What amp is that? I'm still rather new to all this, so I don't know how to identify these things by looking at them yet.
Also, I like your use of a jewelry case for the enclosure! Very classy!
