I was recently accused of posting only guns and cars lol so the Man Cave is coming along nicely, I got my record player setup. Took a picture of the tubes glowing in the dark too! Listening to some Oingo Boingo, perfect sunday. #oingoboingo #dannyelfman #vinyl #mancave #tubeaudio #nelsonpass #bottlehead (at Laurel, Maryland)

Getting a grip on my RIA M206 38 special snubbie. Lemme tell ya, the Hogue Monogrip for Colt Detective Specials WILL fit… but… its not 100% and Im not happy with it yet, Im gonna need to find me some nylon to make a spacer to hold the anchor better so I can make this thing a little tighter. Also got me some acrylic neon green paint. I didnt want glow in the dark paint because it needs light to “charge it up” and the bad guys arent gonna wait for me to charge it up, so I figure something high contrast. I like it but well see how I feel after Ive taken it to the range. #rockislandarmory #hoguegrips #38special #m206 #2asupporter (at Scaggsville, Maryland)

fbnamplification asked:
Could you please send a copy of the ZSP1 schematic to gjunk@comcast.net.
Thank you.
Great car and mc pics
I will try to get this out this weekend :)
Sent!
Just got the car back from @deutschwurx after getting the BC’s installed. Obviously didn’t slam it, Took the car for a spin around the reservoir near the house. It definitely tightened things up but the ride is not harsh at all. Decided to stop at Pepperjacks for shakes. #mk6r #bccoilovers #tracklife (at Scaggsville, Maryland)

Not long ago I installed wheel studs instead of the VW lug bolts. These guys can accommodate up to 10mm spacers and my instructor at Mid-Ohio recently advised that would be a good idea, Plus… I take the car to @deutschwurx this week to get my coil-overs installed!! The before/afters are a little hard because of the camera angle but you can definitely see the 5mm after the wheels were reinstalled. I’m pretty shocked at how expensive these things can be, needless to say I didnt spend $50 per set. I think these guys were packaged as stance magic on amazon, I think I paid $40 for 4. I can live with that. #mk6r #wheelspacers #trackdays (at Scaggsville, Maryland)

Evidently I’m not smart enough to figure out how to attach a pdf to a post, more likely tumblr doesn’t want you doing that so If you are looking for a copy of the Decware ZSP1 Preamp schematic, message me with a valid email address and I will send you a copy. That’s the best I can do lol. I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I’m going to go listen to a record ;)

Sometimes social media and what not is smarter than I am. I just happened to look at my Pinterest account today which I NEVER do and someone recently asked me for this schematic which I said I would gladly look and see if I do and… I do. So… with any luck this post will also have a copy of it since I’m assuming that the Decware folks are long gone as I recall they closed their doors a number of years after I got my preamp. If you’re looking for really awesome vacuum tube gear the folks over at https://bottlehead.com/ are quite honestly the best. There is a lot of foreign stuff out there, lots of questionable kits that because it’s tube gear it must be expensive. I personally have built a number of the kits from bottlehead and I love them, they are between 15 and 8yrs old (roughly) and still sound as awesome as the day I finished soldering them. I haven’t had any issues other than stuff I caused like the massive caps I installed on the SET Headphone amp. I didn’t support them well and the weight caused them to sag which ultimately caused the output to disconnect. I have since sorted that out and added support for the output caps and I haven’t had any troubles since. For reals, the best bang for your buck these days if you fancy tube hifi gear is Bottlehead. Also I will say for newb folks who want to get into this stuff, look for this; https://diyaudiostore.com/collections/frontpage/products/amp-camp-amp-kit?variant=7072933085218 I purchased one of these Amp Camp Amps a number of years back and I then modded it a little for a bit more power and basically I have been powering my home system since adding them and they sound amazing. You can’t beat them for the price and …you built them yourself! So there you go. I’m going to see if I can add the Decware file to this post.
