Shiny brand new second hand things in my system today V1.2

Thanks. I’ve only got fairly crappy records on it just now. All my good records are stored on my ladderax unit. I’ll keep an eye out for something better but it’ll do for now.

Using the preamp in the 851N into the F4 to try and keep the heat down and it’s sounding very good.

Until you put the M7 back in :grinning:

Grandson keeps stealing my M40X to use on his tablet when he’s here so I decided I needed a new pair of closed backs for the downstairs system.

Was this the same guy who had ‘history’ on the Wam?
Something about the name seems familiar although the website doesn’t remind me of him
@FatCuntTroller might remember

Affordable Valve company or similar, Kevin? The style of this new website shares some similarities in phrasing, but this (new mfrs?) site is a heckuva lot less untidy & jumbled around in general, even if it still doesn’t scream consummate professionalism.

You are correct Chris, that is who I was thinking of, nothing to do with EVA Ltd

Nothing to see here

Move along

No. Geoff has built a couple of amps for me in the past. This is his latest build. I’ve had it on loan for a couple of weeks now and it just gets better every day. It drives the Singing Fridges so well. I’m very happy with the combination :grin::muscle::clap::clap::clap:

Is that a good match Guy ?

As much as I love my amp I think it’s too powerful for the Direkts as I barely need to turn the volume up before Anne is in moaning it’s too loud :grinning:

That’s a gain rather than power problem.

I have always used both the 2 way and 3 way Direkts with 8W 300Bs amps and never had a problem with enough power tbh, so the 10W EL84 amp should be fine unless you want to reproduce Deep Purple live

That’s what I meant honest :grinning:

yeah twigged the gag after I replied :slight_smile:

Power / gain meh - it’s too loud.

Thank fuck you lot know what you’re talking about. :grinning:

Joking aside I do think I need to look at a new amp long term as the Direkts are staying put.

What you need are some nice Audio Innovations 2nd audio, 15 watts of lovely 2a3 :wink:
