He is a LCD man, not a HiFiMan, I'm the HiFiMan around here apart from your goodself!

I'm actually both. After He1000se and LCD4, that would be it. Would I consider Susvara and Abyss 1266 TC? Ask me next year and I will tell you.

@bcowen A side effect of your space travel at the speed of light, you come back looking 20 years younger ,no longer looking like Gollum on a bad day!

The wise sages have spoken and I will listen. Was going to buy it but then I remember Odyssey design principles. KISS. Keep it simple stupid. For the first time, advice from Head-Fi folks have been worthwhile. Now I will also sell off the Akai which is only $75 anyway and it's like new. The less I fiddle with the better.

Now I will save $300 which will go to buy a nice rectifier - a 596 with 2 heads !!!

So another question - should I buy a tube rectifier with 2 heads or a Sophia Electric 274b with mesh plates - the Sophia is for 300b and the 596 for the KT88 amp?

I think the 596 and the Woo white and silver adapter will be a killer combination with the silver Odyssey.

Be sure to touch those top caps every now and then with your fingers (preferably moistened) to be sure they aren't getting too hot.

I hope there are no underage viewers here because you're getting to borderline dangerous.

BUT I will touch the top caps. Who can resist it.

Tractors, airplanes, spaceships and moistened caps. What would you want more:

I just want Odyssey in sterling silver.

We already have an alien. Goes by @UntilThen .

You got it wrong Bcowen. There’s aliens vs predator and my monitor is Acer Predator.

You know the song lyrics 'Silver thread and golden needles'? That's written by some sewing fanatic. Silver and gold don't go together but I wouldn't mind putting real silver and real gold in the same crate. No problem at all. Just give them to me.

Have you look at Apple Macs, iPads and iPhones and marvel that they look simple and nice? That's because Jony Iver don't mix silver and gold.

Now this is a look I won't mind having. I'll get Tomas to make it for me next. I'll call it David Copperfield.

Damn, I'm always making that mistake:

My gold and silver Miniwatt.. you should see my medallion lol!

There is an Australian builder that makes amps that you can get gold plated - but can't remember the name right now....
From what I read, stainless steel shows finger prints, and I wonder if copper doesn't oxidize and turn green. - I'll think that I will stick to brushed aluminum and black.

Wow we have gone off on tangent again. Silver, gold, copper, brass.... wood?

Speaking of wood, the LCD4 is only a hour or two away from my home ! and I'm getting the gold 300b amp tomorrow afternoon but I didn't bring the black Oblivion home !!!
