Decided which ones you're going to keep yet? Or are you selling all of them to fuel more expensive headphones.
Very nice headphone stand you've got there by the way, but I think I already told you that before.
 

Yeah I wanna sell everything except for the D2000 and HD25-1 for now. The HD25's are gonna stay for sure for portable use and the D2000 + others will be used to fund an LCD-2 or something haha I hope so!

Dare to say 

...cute. Nice clean up and staging, Jjacq! Love your avatars, by the way...

Haha I have a feeling it's gonna be messy some time soon again. I'm still waiting for my turntable belt so I still have yet to see if it's hard to use with this setup lol. The isolation pads were supposed to be for my A5 speakers but the amp is making it fall down so nevermind.

1977 Pioneer SX-650. Also, I have 100+ pounds on the desk; now sagging in the middle - being replaced in 7-10 days by a coffee table 47.5" L versus 42" L for the desk. Then, I'll have more room to lay the amp down flat.

Moved houses, went through a few cans, bought and sold an Asgard, got rid of that cheap white plastic "rack", and modded some T50RP (aka Coolpants, lol). About time I make another contribution (sorry for the pics, just couldn't get quite the right lighting for some reason, and I need a tripod+more skill):

Computer --> Eastern Electric Minimax Plus --> Violectric V200 --> HD800. 
To think I started with a u-DAC2 feeding FA-003s. So much for affordable audio...

 

[mmayer167]

Those eastern electric mini max's tickle my fancy every time I see one! Last time I looked they weren't easy to find either, where did you get yours? Also how would you compare the nfb 10se flavor to the v200? did you ever run the v200 out of the 10se dac?
 
Nice rig allyl!

I bought the minimax directly from Morningstar Audio. It was shipped quickly and superbly packed. I really liked the idea that it's based off the well spec'd Sabre chip, yet gives options for both opamp and tube rolling. I have a NOS Amperex 12AU7 on the way to get that process started, and will likely pick up some opamps to roll as well. 
 
I liked the nfb-10se at first, but sort of lost interest in it the more I listened. It just had too relaxed of a sound for me, even with its gobs of power. I never ran the v200 out of the 10se, but I from (imperfect) memory, I think the v200 has a slightly smaller soundstage, but much better control and presence, at least for me. I'm hoping that the tweaking I'll be able to do with the Minimax will keep me occupied for quite some time.
 
Thank you for the compliment!

It looks beautiful! I've seen a few on the forum recently. I can't wait to have mine all restored and running at 100%

I want a BIGGER amp. So, now I'm finally perusing CL up and down the coast. Perhaps, $350-$500 would do. And then finally pursue some pre-owned HE-6's and get 'em hard wired.

Thanks guys! It was sitting in my grandma's garage for six months or so... I took it apart and individually cleaned all the visible components with alcohol wipes, then dusted the PCBs and whatnot. Made it look beter, and removed some noise 

If you ever get a vintage amp, it's ENTIRELY worth it.
 
EDIT: If you see my avatar (the album cover of my latest experimental/electronic release), it's a GIMPd out pic of my receiver right after I cleaned it.

Replacing the caps is also never a bad idea, if you've got some decent soldering skills.

My SX-650 is lookin' ruff & stuff! But, we're going to make it do what it do, baby.

Probably things to increase mechanical absorption. We discussed his rig in some more detail a couple weeks back.
