I just bought a mint Auralic Taurus Mk2. I want you to pick it up at the airport for me.

I am only licensed to transport tube amplifiers. You should know that by now.

You should know by now that Taurus sound a bit tubey so that should qualify it as tube amplifiers. Do you really think I will get a strictly solid state amplifier?

Yes. After watching you play golf, my confidence has been diminished.

I was going to post a picture of Trump playing golf but I won't. We both might get sued !

Look at it this way. If I get banned, I will play golf instead of wasting my time posting here.

Feliks Audio Elise rocking a pair of GEC KT66 and GE 7581A as drivers. Well, yep, normally those are output tubes but Elise take them all.

Pathos is sold, and the Hungarian “Ant” got a dedicated extern power supply. The “Ant” is connected through single ended, the Tor through balanced.

OK, so I'm having something of an unorthodox night. Hard to explain. But a photo tells a story:



Shockingly the headphone output on the CD player is enough to drive the 600 ohm Sextetts to an uncomfortable volume at 12 o'clock. It doesn't suck. And it's the setup my horrid amateur soldering wasteland deserves.

At my work desk, I have no idea why I did this in the first place, but:



Those are Insignia headphones that came with a CD player I bought my mother in law. I also bought her a pair of nice headphones because I am fond of her. I found these in the CD player's original packaging and figured I'd throw away the packaging and at least have a laugh with these before I chuck 'em.

They don't suck. I mean, it's almost an embarrassment having them plugged into the LP, but there's a really wide soundstage. I'd buy that for a dollar.

Some love for Cake...and who doesn't love cake?

Got sick of dust so bought a simple glass case to cover up the headphones.

So the glass is dust repellent? Looks very nice though

The plants are balanced too. Me like.

Loving all the setups, gear, chairs and racks! Thanks for sharing!

Here's the humble (simple) portable setup I'm enjoying right now:

ps: any Gary Moore listeners here?

Cheers!

What is the handsome wood base tubed component in the upper right of 1st photo?

That’s a Tor Audio Balanced headphone amp. Not just handsome, very good too!
