Sadly the money tree has suffered in the drought.

Delayed gratification 
Pair of these 15w monoblocks. Responding nicely to a bit of @Rab1991 supplied tube rolling.

They’re staying then?
Yep. I’ll get a much better idea once my speaker build matures etc but that’s 6-9 months away so they’re safe for now.

Nice, always fancied one of those. Had the matching TA-F3000ES, nice compact’ish amp, not amazing but decent enough.
Exactly the same description as the CDP, but great fun. The mech is mesmerising.

Don’t think I put this up, went for a Quad QSP for the Artera Play and NS1000s to replace the Schiit Aegir. Did not really get on with the Aegir, none of the low level magic of the Decware Zen and not enough power to really kick.
The QSP on the other hand, I’m really impressed by for such a compact footprint. Getting some real kick and punch out of the NS1000 bass, something I never got with my previous pair of NS1000Ms (with Bryston B60R), probably only second to the Lyngdorf TDAi2200 I had although I only very briefly tried that combo while they met passing past each other.

I have had one for 29 years, still a lovely thing. You can change the digital filter, it makes a subtle but worthwhile difference
Play button on mine a bit iffy, but remote still works fine
I have the matching fm tuner, which is also v nice, but doesnt really get any use tbh

I was waiting for the 4 channel version of the DSP crossover but
It’s been delayed - Apparently the price for the DSP-8C is going up by £300 at the as the £995 4 channel version launches so I decided to buy one.
First impressions - Set up was very simple I had it plugged in and working in five minutes. It sounds very open and spacious so pleased

the earth is officially flat
I’ve ordered a pair of these…

Power Handling: 700 wrms
Nominal Impedance: 8 ohms
Frequency Response: 28 – 30,000 Hertz +/-3dB
Sensitivity: 97dB 1w/1m
Drivers: 390mm professional die-cast woofer; Superb professional large ribbon tweeter capable of response down to 1500Hz; super flat response professional midrange.
Description: Suitable for both very large home cinemas or smaller commercial cinemas, and even as super-hifi PA speakers for small venues. These true hifi quality large speakers have high end 15 inch drivers and large professional ribbon tweeters, which have unsurpassed efficiency, accuracy and detail. Very powerful, clean and lovely to listen to. (Can be doubled up with a second speaker inverted on top of the first to give twice the power).
In Tasmanian Oak…
8-10 week lead time due to cottage industry reasons, and the fact that the x-overs need modifying for domestic use.
