eBay stuff (Part 1)

looks similar to an early pcb psu I rebuilt recently, so it may be single phase or split phase, cant tell without looking inside

feeling brave? PP 6AS7 for 8w per channel

Not sure how good this one is but the arm looks cool.

PLEASE NOTE THE OMEGA ARM ON PICTURE IS NOT PART OF THIS LISTING

its a Helius arm, but it isn’t part of the sale

it also has a very very early version of the psu, so it will be a very early deck, and much more expensive than a later unit currently in Bungay

Anybody any thoughts on Pathos amps ?

I like all of their stuff I’ve heard I think, including the speakers.

Read a scathing review of the pathos logos years ago and frightened me off forever x

Fantastic looking kit. The reviews I’ve read have been good. Thumbs up from me in principle.

Nick (myrman) tried a Logos and it was good but just a bit ā€˜nice’ sounding.

Given how beautiful the case work is I wonder how much of the budget goes on the inside.

Some good points there , must try one sometime

The cheapest 65" oled I’ve seen by some margin. No HDR but it has Dolby vision. A good buy. Tempted.

I have had two Pathos amps. I really wanted to like them but they were just too polite for my taste. The Pathos specifically was quite a disappointment but as the internet is awash with great reviews it’s an easy amp to move on.

I wouldn’t. I have a toshiba tv and I wouldn’t buy another. The Software is crap. Slow, buggy and I’ve had to reinstall it 2 or 3 times

Reviews said the software was annoying. Plus high dynamic range is pretty important. I’d pretty much decided against it. My plasma is plenty good enough. It’s just a bit chunky. I’ll wait until it expires.

Odd looking thing. Are there only 4 valves ? And are they all 6AS7Gs ? If not (i.e. two are small-signal/drivers) then they’re squeezing 8W out of one 6AS7G in each channel and I’m not sure that’s possible in Class A is it ? If all the valves are power valves then the 8W should be within reach, but now they need to find a great big drive signal from somewhere. Maybe an input transformer ? That could explain the 3.3kohm (yes, really, it seems) input impedance. Choose your pre-amp very carefully !

Not for me, Clive.

The box says HDR10?

Plus it’s costco, 5 year warranty and 30 days to take it back if you don’t like it.
