Long story...

Vinyl, tubes and horns...

The home we relocated to in Northern New Mexico is about twice to three times the size of the one we left behind in San Francisco, but...

The previous owner built a nice, attached 'studio' to the home and in the process stole one of the garage stalls for the 'studio' bathroom and closet.

So no storage, that is if we wish to put our single car and SYM scooter in said single stall garage.

So we have a 3700 sq. ft. home with one small garage which required the use of the 'studio', or as we say here in New Mexico, the 'casita', for storage. 4000 LPs, multiple TTs, all my tube gear, two sets of horns and misc. stuff; stuff that previously occupied the main floor storage area of our small San Francisco home. OK, not THAT small, as we did add a third floor to it with a loft over the back bedrooms for TV/audio. That's where the tubes. vinyl and horns lived when in San Francisco.

The one car garage thing here in New Mexkcl required that we built a nice, large, two car garage attached to the single, nearly unusable existing one.

Spent a small fortune on it in order that it look original and match the existing 25 year old 'faux adobe' style home, but we now have lots of storage space both at the ends of the new garage plus a shop area plus storage in the old garage.

This allowed for the cleaning out of the 'casita' and converting it to a proper vinyl, tubes and horns space. 400 sq. ft. of open space. A man-cave, albeit above ground and glass on three sides as it was designed as an artist studio.

And most importantly, space to work on and build stuff. And time, and money, as I no longer have to pay for airline tickets and hotel rooms to satisfy my travel-loving wife.

So build we do with lots of tube amps so I can bi-amp the horns with steep, 24db per octave active x-overs.

That requires cables. Lots of cables. But with a shop area I can now cobble together cables.








First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
