@Doc: Thanks for the jesting! I am always the first to poke fun at my situation, but you really had me chuckling there!
Recent sad developments...I think my AKG 702 and AD2Ks have been greviously injured, overplaying their part in the noble effort to bring aural nirvana my way....though I the sound did undergo a change I could not pin down on the latter, a friend said there is a paper-like crackling noise from the Audio Technicas that gets louder the more the vol goes up and with the AKGs, it gets tinnier...I fear blown drivers.. oh, foop! Will bring them along for last rites or some Lazarus-lifting advice. My beloved Pioneer SX-1250 also took a hit, with a DOA left channel on the headphone out....will check the speaker outputs to see if its systematic.
So far, the gear list:
Lavry DA10
Consonance Opera Cyber-20
Cayin SCD-50T
Marantz 2275
Smeggy Thunders
HiFiMan HE-5
Denon D7000
Wounded cans
Power conditioner
Speaker taps (4Pin XLR)
Let's pray for kind snow....spozed to have something wicked our way this week....
