For me, when using the A2 RCA input as output to my sub, it is noticeable more quiet than my sub RCA out to A2 input. 

I don't have that issue...hmm. my sub does have its own volume control though. I think it works great!

welp, with the addition of the Schiit Modi and an old host laptop, the bedroom rig is done! I have access to all of my music in ANY format and have it sound good

Tell me more about the TR6 pictures and the Army Aviation shadowbox please...

The TR6 pictures are of my grandparents old cars, they were in some county club or whatever with those cars.
The air force shadow box is my great grandfather's, he was a navigator on a bomber over Normandy. Plane was shot down and he survived, was captured as a POW, ended up escaping and ended up with three purple hearts on the way for various things. That's the short story. I need to get my grandfather's US army pins in a box, he was a marksman in the Vietnam war.

Seem to be missing all the tape formats, Jeff. Try again

Sorry about that, only do disc based systems my girlfriends name is Cosette, is that close enough?

Thanks for sharing that story. It was hard to tell what kind of wings were in the shadowbox.
 
You have a lot of great history there, its nice to see it being maintained!

Hey, no problem! Thanks, I'll post pictures of the unframed medals later if you'd like.

okay awesome! And now to keep the thread and topic and because it seems my phone is uploading correctly, here's my ultra high end super ridiculous portable rig sure to make even the most grizzled head-fier jealous. AGGGH WON'T UPLOAD

It is. I went with the Acryl-It platter, Puck-It clamp, a 2M Blue stylus, and their SpeedBox 2 and Phono V USB preamp. It's my first turntable and I'm a happy camper. That said, a VPI Traveler might be in my future sometime in the next year.

Nice! That's very close to what I was looking to do as well. I bet it sounds awesome coming out of your setup! I've heard great things about those KEF ls50's

gained over 12 pounds in a week, "new shoes", the conductor !

Which one do you prefer for the HD800? The Conductor or V200?

 

[roskodan]

got it this evening, i'll post some impressions in a few days
 
different beasts, both very pleasant
 
first thing i noted is how much warming the conductor up affects its performance, the violectric too but it needs like 10 min and it's ready to go, while the conductor really need a good half hour to warm up evenly
 
i guess it's because of the difference in size and in the violectric only the power stage is discrete while the conductor has no opamp or ic at all

That cable at such a sharp angle is hurting my heart 

.

 

[roskodan]

he, he,
 
don't worry all the weight is on the shelf, it's important not to excessively bent the cable where it enters the plug
 
i'll add another observation to my previous impressions, and that is, both the conductor and the violectric combo, are 1st class music instruments, can't go wrong with either, but it's awesome to have both
 
however there's is still space on the shelf that needs to be filled, with some glowing incandescent tubes perhaps
