First many thanks for our Host Grahame and his wife for being very generous and gracious... Cheers. I will write up more later... starting with the photos....

So a very heavy package arrived yesterday. The 300B tube integrated amp - about 54 lbs of Cary 300 SEI. This is an older version that I worked out in trade, it has various upgrades. Some I don’t know what they are (more about that later). My girlfriend took my camera away this morning...

Thanks to Voltron for setting up a group buy, and thanks to Todd (the vinyl Junkie) for getting my pair out soon. I am happy to report that my new 4070's are in the house and performing very nicely out of the box. Here is the Box...

So after three days of fighting with FedEx delivery. The newest addition to my collection (bad word) has finally arrived. This set has come from tyrion all the way over in Florida. Let the picture story begin... : The two crates for the WA5 and the box for the WE300Bs and K1000's...

Just to welcome the new sponsor and to start a thread that I am interested in. I would like to have this thread open for announcements in regards to the new Custom-3 IEM. Cheers,

Well my pocket book took a big hit, but I had to make the leap at some point. I got the Marantz in the mail just the other day. It is soon in the listening cycle, but I have been amazed by it with every disk that I have dropped into it. Every reference disk (CD/SACD) has sounded better than...

Well just as my ES-1 setup is finishing up it's burn-in (right around 500 hours) I had to do something to keep things fresh. Enter the woo wa6 - maxed out. I am not sure of its amount of play before, so I will make sure to give the VCaps plenty of burn-in. I am very happy...

Well at about 11:30 this morning FEDEX ground arrived with my ES1. There are a lot of picks here (had to cut it down to 30). I don't remember seeing anything about the new power supply before. Okay what does this thing look like...

Wow what a great get together. Here are some pics first I will write up some impressions later: Cheers,

Dude, Just got my XtremeMusic from NewEgg. And I guess that I never expected the quality level that I am listeining to in the first few moments. I am use to SACD and analog as my source. Running some 'ape' XTC files through it right now and I have stepped into the music. That is just with my...

Hey all I have not seen much about this new woo amp, but I have been keeping my eyes out for it as a new driver of my O2's. It looks like the new Electrostatic Amp from Woo has hit the streets. His website link Woo Wastax $1200 plus $50 shipping based on the great Gilmore's design. Just...

Well it has has taken a while, but I finally got my records back into the house. I have used the parts from various systems to setup this moderate house system for headphone listening. Got my Linn LP12 -> Exposure XVII preamp (phone section only) -> ASL MG mkIII -> AT W5000 Was able to...

Well they finally all got here.... W5000, GS1000, SR-007 They seem to all have a place in my collection. W5000 - great in the house, a little isolation (both ways), and looks good too GS1000 - great overall dynamic phone SR-007 - classical and jazz specialty performer They...
