![]() You know, when I write tunes, they have to make sense to me and the experiences that I'm going through in life. And, you know, just - it's really the tune. But, you know, when I was making a tune and from the start at writing the tune, it's about a part of life that I was brought up in Bermuda. MARTIN: And you're aware that that's illegal in some places. The first time me take a drag was in elementary. ![]() BUDDZ: (Singing) There's nothing like the sweet sweet sensation. MARTIN: We could say it's about the pleasures of getting weed again after a dry spell. BUDDZ: Well, mercy, you want me to explain it on the air? MARTIN: So Collie, "Come Around," a great song. ![]() Collin Harper, is with us now in our studio in New York. You can hear why.īorn in New Orleans, he grew up in Bermuda. And his self-titled debut album launched as the number one reggae album on the Billboard charts. MARTIN: That's his hit, "Come Around." The video has been a hit on MTV and BET, as well as overseas. Me a take a little draw and pass it go around, so. BUDDZ: (Singing) Finally the herbs come around. What do you get when you mix dancehall, hip-hop, blues and reggae with Bermudian flavor? Collie Buddz, of course. COLLIE BUDDZ (Reggae Singer, Songwriter, Musician): (Singing) Oh, that's some the sweet, sweet stuff, you know.

![]() ![]() The amplifier also comes with brand new set of Tung Sol 7591A output tubes, and should provide many hours of trouble free operation. The now hard-to-find 7199 tubes have been replaced with the more common 6GH8A tubes, using high quality ceramic adapters (the audible difference between the two tube types is negligible). Connec a CC 5 from Pin 2, D5A ( ) to Pin 4, D5A BM8-6. Connect the other end to Pin 5, D5A BM8-5. C nnect a CM 47 from Pin 4, D5A to Pin 2, Connect the black band end of a CPIM. The aging (and now dangerous) selenium rectifier has been replaced with a modern (and much more reliable) silicon rectifier. Connect a 1M resistor (brown, black, green) from Pin 3, D5A (St) to Pin 2, V3. All electrolytic capacitors have been replaced. ![]() All ceramic capacitors have been replaced. A thermistor has been added to drop today’s higher line voltage, so that it is more in line with what was the standard at the time of the original design. All the potentiometers have been cleaned with Deoxit. This particular example has undergone a complete overhaul, and should provide many years of trouble-free service to its next owner.īackground noise is minimal this is a very quiet amplifier (for a tube amp).ĭetails of the service including the following:. The LK-72 is the kit version of the 299C model. This is a nice example of a vintage Scott LK-72 Tube amplifier. #HH SCOTT STEREO MASTER LK 72 B FULL#First is obviously the amp, second is the full view of my second system and third is an old pic of my main set-up.Any thoughts on the build quality and restoration of this Scott integrated amp? and also, how will it pair with my cornwall 1's His concern for making sure you are satisfied is unmatched. He's also the best seller I've ever dealt with buy gear and such. Plus, moving the current McIntosh amp is a two-person job.Īgain, I'd like to offer my thanks to Adam for all his advise and patience. The current speaker wire with the big B&Ws won't hook up to the Scott's terminals. It would be a 3 hour project most likely. Now, before you ask "Sam, hook that Scott up to the big B&Ws", realize I've considered it a dozen times. To put it simply, I'm overwhelming satisfied with my foray into tubes. Helmet is better with the solid state McIntosh My main system does somethings better with a lot of solid state power. Very hi-fi.Īm I gonna go tubes in the 'big' system? I dunno. It does sound like: clean, images like crazy, non-fatiguing, with wonderful decay and lovely mids that "float". Well, this thing absolutely sings! First let me tell you what it does not sound like: warm, tubby, thick, bloated, furry. ![]() ![]() Adam settled my fears and suggested I try the 299C he offered a few months back. Maybe it was just a bad speaker/amp combo, but I was ready to throw in the towel right then. Well, it's not what I was expecting! I previously had another tube amp I bought off audiogon, that did not meet my expectations for sound or vintage gear. This was critical, because my NHTs are only 86dB efficient, so Adam knew we couldn't just throw any old tube amp at 'em. This Scott 299-C is powered by four JJ 7951's. Since my main system is 'maxed-out' in several ways, I thought I could try to improve my second system without dropping a ton of cash. It previously consisted of a Yamaha solid state stereo receiver, NHT SuperOne bookshelf speakers, and a 15-year old Pioneer CD player. I've had a second system based in my office/computer room for a couple of years. Adam's friendly help and patience made this whole adventure (I'll leave out the gory details!) worthwhile when lesser folks woulda thrown in the towel in this vintage audio game. Adam is a tube expert that coached me over several months to put together a tube-based system for my second system. First let me start off by saying that this thread was only made possible by the kind help of forum friend audio/Adam. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Flashblock forces Flash objects to display in a box that you choose to activate. Rather than block ads entirely, I prefer to reign them in the way I’ve long done in Firefox with the Flashblock extension, and in Camino via CamiTools. But I do hate garish, outrageously moving attention-hijackers that run uncontrollably. I can’t oppose Internet advertising in general-it pays my salary. When I noticed the Opera process sucking CPU cycles when not in use, I had to deep-six that ho. And its ten-second-plus startup time on modern hardware just doesn’t make sense. CLICKTOFLASH SAFARI MAC OS XBut its Mac OS X appearance and behavior are borderline. Opera has some very nice features that preserve the user’s work (open sites, filled form fields), and its type rendering is pretty good. Having had enough of Camino’s clumsy Gecko rendering, I switched to Opera several months ago. Because the developers of the Web’s most famous rendering engine are not particularly interested in Web typography (what?), solutions to the problem are always slated to be in the “next major version.” And if that next major version is a bullshit release (like Firefox 2.0) that is pushed out to distract from more important things happening elsewhere (like Internet Explorer 7) then too bad for the Internet! But Camino is powerless in the face of the immortal Gecko hyphen bug-no-“feature”-well-um-whatever-you-say-but-it-just-sucks. And it starts up so fast I’d swear someone sold his soul to the devil. ![]() Everything outside the content area is kosher. It wedges in Web form controls that sort of look right. In contrast, the Mac-only Camino browser tries hard to smooth over its underlying Gecko engine. It’s great for coding and testing your own sites with the benefit of third party extensions, but otherwise it’s pretty unpleasant to use. Because of their indifference to the Mac build of Firefox, and to anything outside the central clique’s sensibilities, Firefox on Mac will always have rough edges. When I switched from Safari to Camino last year I mentioned my longstanding grudge against the Firefox project. I go through browsers like I used to go through brands of breakfast cereal. ![]() |
