Lol, that was ages ago....no more now. It costs a fair bit to commission and with the heat we get here all year round, the Megatron is not going to help....and that's not even taking into consideration the electricity bill :p

Haha Ross you appeared on New Year's Eve !

Is the one on the left a WA6?
Which one do you prefer? I have a WA6-SE and was thinking about getting the tuba.

Yes, WA6 on left in photo. My WA6 is new, but modded with 6DE7 sockets w/ 6SN7 adapters, so I'm not beholden to 13 tubes. The AMPs have different sound signatures. So, my preference depends on headphones/music during a given session. Overtime, I may acquire a Decware Taboo or comparable, at which point I'd jettison the WA6. I will not sell the Tuba, too attached :)

Will send PM with more details.

My opinion is that the 6FD7 tubes used in the original version of WA6 is good. Very good indeed. They are used as drivers on my 300b amp - that golden child on the right.

I think @bcowen has a set like that. Except his adapters are tube adapters. Apparently tube adapters are his weakness so if you know any obscure ones that he may not have, be sure to talk them up:smile:

Cats can also roll tubes.😜

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) :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Here are the promised pics. I put them into spoiler:

Here is when he is not meowing while crossing in front of my feet asking for food. I think he put this face :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Kepler-diciembre-2021.jpg


During the day he usually falls asleep:

Kepler-diciembre-2021-dormido.jpg


And one in our garden:

Kepler-diciembre-2021-jard-n.jpg

And now a bonus... Nooo, back to topic :wink: :

Here is my current head-fi station, a Sound Science true believer:

Head-fi-station-1.jpg


... But the closed back headphones are under arrest. I hope @Malevolent won't get angry... :relieved:

Head-fi-station-2.jpg



Post script: I want to thank one guy in this thread which published a pic of a mat with wrist-rest similar to the one I purchased after I saw his message. And... I'm a little OCD, just a little... :rolling_eyes:

There is no OCD on Head-Fi. Only OCE (Obsessive Compulsive Encouraged). :sunglasses:

Vacation is for rearranging my stuff. @#€# my new turntable (xtension 12) is to big..:sweat_smile:
That's a matter of perspective. From my viewpoint, your shelf is too small. 😂

Nice 'table!!!

I'm not that organized. Or clever. I keep my tube adapters in a tube caddy though if that counts. 🤪

hmmm, the Abyss to Susvara peaks my interest. I wonder how the SC cables would sound on the Susvaras....
