Hifiman HE6 SEv2. The DAC which is not in the picture is the Denafrips Ares II.

Nice headphone collection! Well done on the Ares II ! The Sanyo could reside in MOMA !

Thank you kindly. I pulled out the vintage receiver when I grabbed the HE6. I run it to the speaker taps using the HE Adapter, but then I became infatuated with how great it sounds. The Ares makes it sound to me like I'm listening to a high-end turntable on a good vintage stereo receiver from back in the day.

What is the blue headphone?

The world's greatest headphone right now.

You make me want to retrieve my packed Kenwood receiver (1980) from my sister’s house. As for DACs, well engineered NOS / R2R will shame well engineered delta/sigma chip topology on all days ending in “y”.

Do it. This is what my Kenwood looks like without the cover.

But this Sansui 907mr was my fav. What did I sell it.

Pets free but I have a tube rolling assistant. He’s very good with tubes.

Cats can also roll tubes.

Said before, so true: “Finnegan knows tubes” !

Yeah, why indeed!!!! I moved from Pioneer (my first real stereo) to Yamaha, and finally just last year landed on Sansui. I have two integrated amps currently in service; an AU-5900 and an AU-7900. Both will follow me to the grave (or the incinerator, as the case may be).

Yeah she picks the right tube too.

Nice very nice. Those 2 Sansui(s) should serve you well. Why do you have to make me long for Sansui again 3 days before the New Year???

I started with a Sansui AU-505 but my folly was buying from a Sansui 'Master'. You know a Yoda of the vintage world? He and his dad are genuine collectors and lovers of Sansui gear. They service it too. Very soon after that I bought AU-7700 which was later sold to @UsoppNoKami. The AU-7700 is very GOOD with headphones and I think the 7900 would be better. The next amp is an important milestone in the history of Sansui. It is the AU-717. This one's a beauty in tone. Warm, deep, deep bass, like Tsunami bass and yet you get treble. Oo yeah, all you need is a cigar and a glass of whisky and you're in Havana. Finally I bought the golden child - Sansui au-alpha 907mr.

Sansui of the 70s are like all the amps of that era, the golden age of audio.

The interior of the 907mr


Yoda's collection of Sansui(s). This is just one panel. There are 3 panels.


Oh I have a Sony STR-7025 and I still have it.

What a great little face!

I've had many cats in my life; each is totally different from any other. But there's one constant: I look in the face of my cat and think, "I wonder what's going on inside that head?" (I will never have an answer).

This is one of the finest doggie portraits ever. That personality just jumps off the screen at the viewer.

Ok, ok... Sooo... yesterday my cat "Kepler" went to Indiana when he escaped from home... Now I see where he was... (Tomorrow I will take a pic of my cat, it's a copy of yours)
