Made global changes in placement of my rig... Couch has left the room, so audio rig can become much more "free" :)

The cable from the Woo Wes is surprisingly long, was that specifically ordered with a longer cable?

Yes, it's custom made by the Zhukov Sergei (LynxAudio) when he repaired and modded my WES... He very strongly recommended to not put amp case on PSU, because it's overheats (it's became better after mods, but still...), and the stock cable is very short, so he made me new custom one...

What kind of gear is your Diana plugged into in the picture?
Beta22 by Hellium [balanced] (XLO Unlimited p/cord). My rig in the signature BTW :wink:

I have a serious problem. I can never bear to part with anything!!
Epic collection, mate. As long as you can afford bread, water and a place to sleep, do not worry too much about not being able to let things go. Enjoy all of them! :beerchug:

Out of curiosity, what does the DNA Stratus give you that the Cayin 300B can't?

Thanks much betula. I am very fortunate indeed. My Stellaris is serial # 0001, the first Donald built back in 2016-17. Had the Stratus before that The Cayin was an "impulse" purchase (aren't they all!!) that I got from a fellow Head-fier at a price that was too good to pass up, since I did not own a 300 tube amp. I have enjoyed the Cayin a lot, but favor the Stellaris because of the wider soundstage and tighter base. Both really pair well with the Focal Utopias and Meze Empyreans. Sadly, the Stellaris took a dump last week and I lost the right channel (not the tubes either). I am in contact with Donald now to try and get it repaired. Still, I am not wanting for amplifiers so there is no hurry.

I am sure, Donald will sort you out. Interesting comments on the two amps though, thanks for that!
