Could be worse. You could have an audiophile wife, who takes your favorite cans when you are not looking.
LOL! Can you imagine having an audiophile spouse?

"The RCA sounds better"
"The Sylvania sounds better"

"Man, the treble is really extended and airy!"
"The treble is calling attention to itself and fatiguing"

"Wow, what boomy, ill-defined, one-note bass"
"Will you listen to the slam and fullness of those bass notes?"

"This tube amp rocks!"
"This tube amp sounds like a caramel coated sugar cube"

"This solid-state amp sounds artificial and has zero harmonic detail or depth"
"This solid-state amp rocks!"

"I want the ZMF's"
"I want the Focals"

"I want to listen to Marilyn Manson"
"I want a divorce"

🤣

Not too many things as satisfying as a bunch of headfi gear properly stored safely in military grade, crush & water resistant cases! Seahorse cases are my favorite (the brand ZMF uses).

I have yet to try my RME AD-2 Pro FS R Black Edition as a recording interface. I plan on eventually ripping some vinyl as a start.
Have you given that a go, yet?

Thanks and very nice system

Thank you for the compliments. Actually me and my son are gonna try it the first time this weekend. We previously recorded Black Sabbath- Paranoid via usb using the internal AD converter on his Audio Technica turntable. We are curious to compare the sound quality after recording it again on the PRO. After that we will rip the rest of his modest collection.

Are you guys on some strange medicine? Anyhoo let's get back to the station and it's without tubes. :)

should I repair this (just needs a good tune-up) and use it?

Of course. I just discovered that my Susvara sound magical with my vintage amps. Wish I had kept my 4 Sansui amps. Your 9090DB will look great with Susvara on top of it. :)

...and with that, I drop the mike because I'm at post 19,999.

I think is worse when you have multibuck headphones and also multibuck DAC, amps, cables and so on... and your wife is a "sound science" wife... :rolling_eyes:
