They are indeed! Now correct me if I'm wrong, but the Dogs and Primes are both built on the Fostex T50RP, right? Same as Zach's earlier Vibro's and Blackwoods?
I believe that yes, they are modified T50RP's, but are Mr. Speakers (now Dan Clark Audio) rather than ZMF.

yes, I understand that the Dogs and Primes are DCA products, but Zach also used the T50's for his Blackwoods and Vibros, correct?

I should know this already, but some things have recently dropped out of my brain.

Some nice looking Alpha Primes there!
Aren't they though? I have to remind myself daily not to eat them, they look delicious.

You are not wrong. I believe the Dogs are modded T50s and the Primes are modded Dogs?

Basically, T50RP Mk.2 begat Mad Dogs begat Alpha Dogs begat Alpha Primes.

The last of the line, I believe, featured 3D printed cups....

Those monitors are Focal Shape 40s, correct? I almost bought a pair myself a couple of years ago. How do you like them?
I use them primarily when I am editing video which I do quite a lot of. The Foal Shape 40s are extremely accurate but they wouldn’t be my first choice if I were using them primarily for music.

What is so special about these lava lamps😜 cannot remember all signatures, but these sculptures seem to be popular again. I was raised with these, and my mom certainly didn’t connect is with great sound🤪

What's old is new again. Lava lamps, tubes, vinyl.... Just hope I don't start seeing stagecoaches on the interstate. :smile:

I love my lava lamp :).

At the end of the day I like to listen to music in low light and I find the lava lamp is the just great for sitting and gazing at.

My lava lamp is from Mathmos, the company that invented the lava lamp. That one is in fact the design they had when they first introduced them in 1963.

Another 60s thing that I love is bean bags. I have two leather ones in my living room. My headphone setup is actually in my study. The bean bag is an absolutely terrific chair for sitting in while listening to music. Bean bags are very comfortable and supportive.

Or worse, rotary phones!!!! my gawd, the horror.
If you ever get hold of one today and try it, it really is amazing how long it takes to dial a number. I grew up with them and used them in the first part of my adult life for many years. I don't want them to come back. Some things in the past should stay in the past.

I recall really hating people that had a 9 or a 0 in their number!!!!!

It's the lower numbers that took the longest I think.
