That looks great. Perhaps I can take Ultra- and his gf there next year. If he comes.
 

It's a special place, both the farm and the hotel...
That's Cruz making our biscuits for breakfast in the main house! She also makes all their jams and preserves for re-sale.
Their fruit stand is 'honer system'. You write down what you take and leave cash in a slot in the table!

I'm in SF too. We go up 3-4 times a year. It is still undiscovered. I much prefer it to Napa, Sonoma or Mendocino!
We always stop by Roederer, Toulouse and Esterlina wineries (and Anderson Valley Brewery) as well...

Stavros did you try those 6BL7's you got from me? Curious how they sounded.

 
 
Hi Rob, I have been using the 6BL7's Glenn gave me with the amp which are 3 pairs of RCA.
He gave me a few more but I haven't tried any yet.
Your nice tubes are safely put away for future use.
 
We tried 4 pairs of headphones:
 
Denon AH-D5000 (Markl mod, re cabled, JMoney pads)
Ultrasone HFI-780 APS V2 XLR (with XLR to SE adapter)
Grado SR325is
AKG 701 Headroom XLR (with XLR to SE adapter)

Hi, 
I have been communicating with Glenn regarding an amp to drive my vintage Grados.
Do you have a favorite Glenn amp for Grados? 
Thanks!

 Very excited this evening!
 
Earlier this afternoon, I ordered the newly remastered 24-bit/192kHz version of "Kind Of Blue" from HDTracks. Previously held this work of art on CD but held off on any hi-rez version for the longest - glad I did!!!
 
Can't wait! But 

 I'll have to... no choice. I bought three other digital albums and between the four downloading, this could take awhile. I started downloading at 1400 hrs - it's now 19:40 and the first of four is only 90 something percent complete. 

 Gonna be a long night.
 
I ordered:
 

AIFF 24/192
 
 

AIFF 24/176
 
 

AIFF 24/192
 
 

AIFF 24/192
 
 
Looks like I'll start a short session @ 0200 hrs but formally listen to all four albums Sunday night.

Hi, I haven't tried my RS1 or GS1000 yet.
Both OTL's drive the SR325is very well, nice bass, you wouldn't go wrong with either.
I feel the 6336A's will be even better, we tried them last summer with Glenn briefly, and the Grados sounded very good.

'Miles'... "Kind Of Blue" @ 24/192...... HUGE sound! I had a seat this morning at CBS 30th Street Studio, sipping on an elegant Lung Ching Dragonwell.

Hmmm, let's see (SO turns on some lighting...):
 
Sup'd up Mac mini music sever; Audirvana Plus > Mhdt USBridge - Coax Out > W4S DAC-1 (Upgraded Digital Board; Low ESR "Super Caps") > Shindo Lab Aurieges MM Pre-amp > Shindo Lab Sinhonia monaural amps > HE-Adapter > re-cabled HE-6. 

 
 
 
 
Add.:  I need to consult with our resident designer early January and bad! I suspect the HE-Adapter may be interfering with my pursuit.

Nice! I like the chain!
 
Is there an alternative to the HE Adapter?

Yes, I need to consult with our Ambassador. I understand he's in transit back home after showing the EU how it's done! 

 
 
Just funnin' rosgr63; Ultrainferno 

 
 
 
 
Post Script.:  The sun came up. My session just went final. Time for bed... cheers!

Chic! A great disco LP from the past. Love the cover.
 
I've never been able to find a great recording of Miles Davis - Kind of Blue. The opening notes sound so distorted and overly saturated. SO, do you think it was originally recorded this way? It sounds like his trumpet is too close to the mike. I have 3 versions and they all sound like that. It is, however, one of my favorite LPs.
 
Happy downloading and listening. I just downloaded this CD: http://www.classicsonline.com/catalogue/product.aspx?pid=1960980
 
It is incredible on my WA22 with RCA 6AS7, CBS 6SN7, and Amperex 5AR4

Glenn. In anticipation of your arrival back to NC, I decided to buy a caramel maple spice cake topped with candied pumpkin seeds to celebrate your return. It is from Flour & Co.
 
Here it is in the refrigerator ready for me to dive into it at around 5PM. The frosting got a little banged up so I had to patch it up with a bent icing knife. Some got on my fingers so I had to lick that up too.
 
Welcome back, Glenn!
