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

I think the photo is after hairdressing

Got a Chord DAC for the holidays. Really a sweet upgrade, sounds great.

I contribute to his doggie fund every month. He has 7k now. Maybe I should use that to buy Susvara?

Susvara is a great name for a female puppy!

Blood under his mouth? Or he ate beetroot?

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”.

My 1976 vintage Harman Kardon 730 was a great sounding receiver in its day (for speakers), but it sounds like dreg with headphones. Possibly user error.

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).

And as the cat looks in your eyes it's thinking: "I wonder what the human servant is thinking. Hopefully food."

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.

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.

Ah, the good old days. When the quality of a component was measured in KPI (knobs per inch)

Yeah she picks the right tube too.

That is Finnegan and he chose that tube so I let him keep it. He turned down Tung Sols and Svetlanas.

Just the most beautiful little dog I've seen in years. You're a lucky man!

Were you putting the speaker cables in your ears?…at least use alligator clips!…

This evening, how my setup looks.

On the desk: ZMF VC and VO stabilized, fed by a cap-modded Liquid Platinum running a pair of NOS Mullard CV4003 tubes, a Lokius, Bifrost 2 and (when solid-state is desired) Magnius.

Hanging on the wall, from left to right: AKG K240DF, Hifiman HE6SE v2 with DCA pads and ZMF frame, LSA HP-2, MMCX-modded AKG K240 Sextetts (LP) and ZMF Auteurs.

Sorry - love the pooches - just getting back on topic. But, just to be safe, and lest you think me heartless, here’s a photo of my goldendoodle rescue…
