That didn't answer the question. What models are they?

I recognize one with the Rekkr as Celestion SL6. Only 82dB sensitivity, probably not a good match. It was also used as a prop in a previous photo.

This photo shows the Rekkr with the Overnight Sensations 83db - 2.83v/1m at 8 ohm.

edit, looking at my Bifrost remote, it can mute the output but not attenuate it. I wonder if a volume pot would even be necessary if remote functions could be added.
There are 3 ways of adding a volume control to a DAC: 1) digital signal processing, which requires extra digital hardware and firmware to be done well; 2) a normal analog pot at the output, which requires space and more wiring; 3) rarest, some R2R DACs can adjust output voltage directly by manipulating the voltage reference that feeds the resistor array. TL; DR Unless there's some Moffat magic (TM) that I'm unaware of, Bifrost volume control would need 1 or 2, which are unlikely in that form factor at that price.

This looks like the closing scene from Indiana Jones Raiders Of The Lost Ark.. 😉
It's from a spinoff titled Raiders Of The Russian Warehouse, starring @Paladin79 and directed by Finnegan. The plot was similar to Porky's, and the acting was kinda too. 🤣

I feel like I've just been knighted. Of course the sword would be made from the finest @bcowen cardboard. And the jewels on the hilt would be tubes. I am most honored sir.

Schiit N Music
Saturday Night

Updating computer(s) software. Long over due.
This relates to the discussion of streaming; specifically the Bosch playlist.

Re-visited Spotify, Amazon Music and Apple Music. Found Bosch playlist on each of them.
Spotify and Apple would have been free trial periods, Amazon Prime is already paid for.
It has been several years since I tried any of these.

For today's try out Amazon Prime appeared logical.
Down loaded app. Adjusted settings and discovered that the app will only play to one Express at a time (no whole house music).
Fired up the Bosch playlist.
Systems used are my existing kits.
Schiit, all bass, almost damaging. Adjustments made. Cooked and ate dinner while listening to whole part house music.

Impression. This sounds like ass.
Will do additional testing. Not promising.


Enjoy the Schiit N Music
Old and busted 69,

Porky’s was a classic, Citizen Kane with pork instead of a sled named Rosebud right?

2 random questions about Rekkr, @Jason Stoddard

What are the physical dimensions of the power supply/wall wart (not listed on specs page for either the Rekkr or the Gjallanhorn).

Some of these amps, if you buy a bigger power supply will give more power/cleaner amplification. Is that also true of these amps?

(btw, thank you thank you thank you for making the amps I've been wanting for years now!)

Hmmmmm...Could be, but I have never seen more than snippets of either film even the CK is said by many to be the finest film of all time. I know that "Citizen Kane" was lauded for things like showing ceilings in some shots while "Porky's" was said to be all about showing T&A in some shots.

I will forever take Class over Ass but I suppose you can have a bit o' both. Rodney Dangerfield is pure class and sometimes his films contain a touch of ass to go with his class. :beerchug: "Say g'nite Toad."

G'Nite!

I do not have the contacts I once did, being retired and all. I can talk to guys at Indy Audio. If I am in Virginia when the get together happens I would try to stop down. I could most likely donate a pair of mini radials and possibly a headphone stand or two once I get busy building those. Maybe some nice interconnect cables as well. Maybe Cowen could bring his Incubus amp if there is beer and bar-b-cue. It is the prettiest one in existence, till I build my last one. :ksc75smile:

With all due respect.... the first amp you sold, to @FLTWS is the prettiest one in existence.

I dont have pics readily available, but dang is it a nice looking amp.
