Where is Singlepower? Where is Mikhail?
Boy, does this thread bring back some bilious memories. If there is any justice in this world, Mikhail is stuck in the eternal elevator with naught but the the crazy frog song on endless loop.- Afrikane

MuppetFace's TakeT H2+ Thread
Mmmm, maybe it's time I retrieved my old pair from the storeroom where they have been sitting for 2 or more years and re-acquaint myself with them. They are indeed an interesting headphone which is why I kept them. As I recall they can sound pretty good with a decent source and amp but...- Afrikane

The Leben CS300XS Thread
In every EL34 based amp I have owned my favourite tubes have been NOS Gold Lion KT77s (if the amp can take them) and Mullard XF2s; whether or not they will play nicely with the CS600 I don't know but it is worth looking into.- Afrikane

Sorry Sachu, I have only heard it once or twice in someone else's speaker system; far from qualified to make comments on what tubes would do it proud.- Afrikane

The CS600 takes 4x 6L6GC(5881) or 4x 6CS7 and 1x 6CJ3; very different from the CS300s 5751/12ax7 and EL84s- Afrikane

The Afzelia will go a bit darker in time and the gold flecks will stand out more. I did not do my best job on rubbing out the finish so I will probably take it off again in a few months and start from scratch.- Afrikane

Hi Clayton, the wood is a bit of Afzelia burl that I had lying about. If you have the tools it's pretty easy to make your own panels.- Afrikane

Show us your Head-Fi station at it's current state. No old pictures please...
It's amazing what a bit decent timber (Afzelia burl in this case) can do to transform the pedestrian to something visually appealing. Different angle with more hint of K1000.- Afrikane

What pair of headphones do you regret selling the most?
Stax SR-Omega and SR-007 MkI, really loved both, only sold them because the amp I used to drive them was dodgy and didn't feel like waiting years for a replacement amp worthy enough of the headphones.- Afrikane

I recently had the pleasure of hosting Herr Woschnick when he stopped by my place on his way to a world cup game, it was a flying visit but he had time enough to install a TW Acustic Raven 10.5 tonearm of his manufacture on my table, a Raven AC. It's a real slick piece of engineering and thus...- Afrikane
