I really do like the looks of that with the black gear! It appears that the Vali fits nicely on the bottom shelf as well.

Fun!

Thanks for this suggestion, it sounds amazing on Qobuz, even with my inexpensive Simgot EW200 IEMs

Obviously done in anticipation of 1958.


If we're switching to station wagons, then this. The vinyl siding they hoped people would think was wood was only for the well-heeled.

Pacer wagon. Excellent!

And it sounds soooo good!

My uncle owned C1 Corvette, then bought Pacer.

I would like to own a car as old as I. Unfortunately 1950 was not a high water mark for styling.

Rob the cradle, get a '57 Chevy.

lol that is @bcowen who extols the sound quality of maple wood. The guy comes from a good home but somewhere along the way something must have happened to him.

At some point, it's interesting to read about any business history, starting from the idea and all the struggles it faced to become a fully successful company and bring profit to its owners.
But, how come you find time to post here? Is it some sort of promotional campaign?

Nor for functionality! The FX3 was a 1951 model (for those of you not familiar, it's the model with no passenger side front door or compartment - luggage was placed there). In addition to poor brakes, this one had a penchant for sucking air into the diesel lines, requiring some road lying to fix. Often in winter, at night, in the rain.

I do look at the classics (DB5, anyone) and lust. But it was the looks, not the performance that excites. Most current cars have far better performace and handling than even supercars of the day. I'd happily take a classic with electrics..........

The only one that can directly answer that question is Jason himself.....

Early on, after realizing Jason Stoddard was the designer of the Sumo equipment that I was listening to at the time, I mentioned this in a post. He actually took the time to drag his copy of the Andromeda II amplifier out and share a picture on a workbench. Clearly not a "promotional campaign" or at least I don't see it that way ....

I personally like the equipment, the tech, love the snark, and the crazy people here

Very well said (as usual)

LOL! I stumbled into this forum and have never been the same since. Some would probably say it's a good thing.

Thanks for this. I, too, am wandering through the valley of tubes and trying to see what they bring. I have a Vali 2 and am thinking of getting a Vali 3 since they are so inexpensive. I have a few bucks laying about so I’ll seek out one of the vaunted WE396 tubes to try as well.

Congratulations. Can't guarantee that you'll love it as much as many of us, but I can guarantee that you won't consider the Vali 3 a side grade to the Vali 2. Please share your thoughts when you have had a chance to listen.
