2 gauge speaker cable? Wow! That’s quite the project, it should be amazing to hear!

I read Bill Evans chicken noodle soup! I need to get that album! Feel better, Tom!

Blessed are the geeks, for they shall inherit Earth V2.

I had kind of forgotten about that! I just pulled up the platter mat on mine to find this.

This might be the best cheap RCM. The $135 Squeaky Clean MK-lll from Canada, shown next to my 1986 vintage Nitty Gritty 2.5fi. https://squeakycleanvinyl.com/products/squeakycleanvinyl-mk-iii I usually apply fluid on the Squeaky Clean MK-lll, and use the Nitty Gritty to dry. The Squeaky Clean...

Wow! Nice job!

Does it do this with all sources/inputs?

You guys are going to make these rare tubes, even rarer. Soon it will be cheaper to buy a pair of Tyrs, than to retube a Vali 3! Shame! :sunglasses:

You're welcome, Klaus!

Try wiggling the bypass switch gently on Lokius, when in bypass mode. Sometimes the switches need a little help when new.

Your Bottled-In-Bond, is bottled in Bend? Sorry! I'll bet you've only heard that one a million times!

This is interesting. I had wondered if the 4x mode was unpowered until selected.

Wow, the port is tuned for 29Hz! I would love to hear a pair of these in my room. A lot of ported speakers are tuned for 45Hz. My room has a double mode at 45Hz, which makes the 45Hz ported speakers sound like bad disco regardless of speaker placement.

That's funny that you mentioned using Kara's headphone output into another headamp. I did the same thing earlier this week when I was trying to see which of my headphones sounded best with Kara. My Senn/Drop HD6xx sounded sleepy through Kara's headphone out, but adding Asgard 3 to the mix woke...

I'm still using 1x as my default. I have no qualms about switching into 4x, especially for those rare times of using headphones with Kara. Speaking of headphones, I think that my 32 Ohm headphones sound best with Kara. Better tonal balance & dynamics. My Grado SR125's were something that I...

Sonic Craft in Texas, has Mundorf electrolytic caps too. https://www.soniccraft.com/index.php

Spica's are sweet! I wouldn't mind a pair of Angelus!

Vidar excels with difficult to drive speakers. Tyr would too of course, but that's a whole different budget.

We got tired of replacing ice makers. It's just the two of us, so we bought a couple of ice cube trays instead. It turns out that once you get used to the routine, it's not a big deal.

Unfortunately, there's a little more to it than that. A lot of the videos have already been taken down, but it was pretty ugly.

Sweet set up! Aegir and the DNA-1 doing that David & Goliath thing!

Hello son, I hope you're having fun...

Very nice!

I picked this up yesterday. Musical references to Rush and Gentle Giant? It made my lil’ prog loving heart flutter!

Roy Hargrove. He's another one that left us too soon.
