Just arrived the stuff from Jack, BD carbon headshell, mat and heavy weight, will give them a whirl this evening.
what are you powering them with?
Clones Audio 25irh
Is that my old Doge cd player on the bottom rack?
Could be, who’s asking ?
Only me. I bought that and the Doge 8 Preamp direct from China. They were very nice sounding and sound even better with Clarity Caps.
I also have a modified Doge 9 mono Power Amps which sound great last year.
Don’t they sound as good this year then?
Nothing ever does. Which is why there’s so much swapping and faffing
A surprisingly good performance from Shigaraki clone CD transport made it a keeper. Very nicely made by eng. Ferenc Lazar from Serbia, known for a number of SUTs he made upon Tango or Hashimoto transformers. Could be a synergy with Lampizator Amber II I drive with it, I dunno. Certainly the best digital I had in my room and dangerously close to old school sound of idlers with SPU. Now a nightmare going back through the CDs still able to play.
!I would LOVE to own that (or one of his SUT).
They are really incredible vfm or, rather, spp.
Have not used it this year Jim.
Has it made much of a difference?
The amps haven’t been buzzing which was the 1st thing I wanted, (700va torrid’s), but I haven’t had chance to sit and swap.
A Naim SNAPS (non DR) to go with my 42/110, so many years since I had one, probably about 1986/7. Waiting for delivery of the 4 pin SNAIC.
It’s been emotional.
When the SNAIC arrives, a Linn Kan Mk1 / Naim 42SNAPS110 / LP12 fest.
New DAC.
Same as my old one, except for -
NOS Telefunken valve,
Polypropylene Caps,
Mundorf Capacitors,
reasons
There’s sentimentality, and there’s mentality.
