I wonder if we should start a new thread for Liquid Fire Owners?  Amp finally here thread doesn't seem to fit.

lmk if you want a title change, a new thread for discussion is just as good..dB
 
ps- it has been good to watch from the sidelines

I was wondering where you were.  LOL

I can merely echo many of the comments here, my amp is slightly different and would thus be more difficult for direct comparison. Hence my preference to enjoy the enthusiasm. My tube compliment of choice is a 6DJ8 bugle boy and 6H30 per channel which I know is not a reality for any other amps , will probably try a few other options over time but I seem to end up here whenever I fiddle with it. 
 
I toyed with the idea of rebuilding it is a power amp merely to watch Sachu turn green 

 , but where's the fun in that ..dB

True, I imagine the production amps are a slightly different beast.  Good to see you still active/lurking though!

 

[dBel84]

The production amps are exquisite, just fantastic to see aesthetics and function come together. It is perfect in my not so un-biased opinion ..dB

I've been listening to The Beatles in Mono.  Originally I had enthusiastically bought those, appreciated them and then proceeded to listen to the 24bit stereo from that point on........................until now.  I started with Sgt Pepper and it was a revelation.  I had listened to this w/my old WA22 but not with the same result.  Sgt Pepper has that dynamic in Mono when you (if you're old enough) first were hearing it everywhere that isn't present in the Stereo version-Lucy especially w/the flanging vocals.  The Liquid Fire has made these Beatles Mono's and incredible listen.

Are you listening the the original mono on vinyl?
 
It is interesting that the Beatles never mixed the mono recordings to be played back on an LF let alone a WA22--just on a plain-vanilla record player from the 60s. And to think it sounds incredible. Good to know. Good to know. Thanks, Icenine2.

I'm listening to them from the CD Mono Box release.  Having lived back in the day I indeed did listen to both on high-end systems.  I was blessed with a Grandfather who was my original "Stereo Mentor".  He had electrostatic speakers as well as others.  Reference Marantz gear and McIntosh as well.  So going in even as an early teen I knew what music could sound like.  When I'd visit him he'd take me off to the then HiFi store and we'd listen to the latest equipment.  And of course I listened to them on the plain vanilla as well.  The Beatles recordings are top notch for the day.  Listen to the same era Stones, Kinks, etc and there's no comparison.

Well I just returned from the Netherlands about 5 hours ago. It took an hour to get through customs and all I could declare were a bunch of Dutch licorice candies. They let me go--this time. Anyway, I just got an email saying that my LF will be delivered on Friday! I can't hardly wait. Cavalli Liquid Fire power is soon to be in the house. I love the smell of new electronic equipment.
