Spinning on the Stereomour II

[Karl5150]

I've got about thirty hours on it so far, all but the last couple out on the bench. I filled the time by finishing the base and painting the top plate of the Reduction to match. (Rust-Oleum Hammered Black)
After bringing it in, hooking it up and starting to spin some familiar vinyl a few things are immediately obvious:
While the overall volume isn't up much from the SEX, the dynamics are handled much better. (Just as expected)
I think I've lost a little in the lower mid-bass range, I'll have to try raising the x-over point on the sub.
Gonna' have to dial in the hum pots. (The SEX was dead quiet)
And finally, I like it already, knowing it will only get better.
Thanks all for the help with the build glitches.

Thanks Jamie, still amazes how much music a couple of watts can make, and what an addictive hobby this is.

Thanks again.
First the Mapleshade equipment racks are as beautiful as they are sturdy. (I own 3)
I have never owned another rack system designed for sonic improvement.
As with other Mapleshade products I have purchased, I cannot claim to hear the sonic improvements. This may be entirely on me and my set-up/listening space. My BH analog audio system shares space with a complete A/V system and a separate tube amp/cd/2 ch speaker system. And I certainly do not possess golden ears.
That being said, I will no doubt continue my relationship (customer only) with them. Did I mention they make beautiful stuff!
The gold over brass knobs are from PartsConnexion, again customer only. Had to slightly enlarge the holes to fit the BH supplied pots.
