Glad to see you guys got it all mounted. How many beers did it take to get there?

Jason and Renato called me last night while in the process of this installation...what a fun duo! They are both great guys, and I hope to meet them both face to face in Chicago next year.
Jay you've got an impressive system to say the least buddy. And it's obvious you must be a deserving guy by the friends you've cultivated.

Matt it all matches for a reason, Jay's not the kind of guy to walk out the door with mismatched socks.

Oh, what's the inside scoop on the wife joke? You can't throw that out there, and then pretend to be demure.

Wow, fantastic transition! Steve, you skills are impressive! What a beautiful combo, all of that glass and wood. Hopefully someday I'll be able to enjoy it at a meet!

Mmm shiny delicious wood and shiny delicious Thick As A Brick.

A combination made in K340 heaven.

Sexy as hell Jay !!!

You might want to store your LP's vertically... not horizontaly.

Beautiful work. What kind of woods were used?

I'm sure we'd like a bit more detailed comparisons. BTW, isn't LessLoss DAC's whole selling point that master-slave thing?

Damn, damn, dam! amazing work as usual. I am drooling with envy.

 

[dmk005]

That is one beautiful set up. Now you need some matching bloodwood speakers!

 

[LoweArt]

You mean you don't remember the whole FalconCougarThunderThingy thread? It was eventually called the Massive Attack but it is a custom McAllister balanced amp made to Jay's desires to drive the Headphile K340s to blissful perfection. That about sums it up, but Jay can give details or a link or two.

Jay, Steve, Renato and Peter McA make a nice team! That amp is now as gorgeous as I suspect it sounds. Beautiful result achieved with a lot of patience not too common around Head-fi! Congrats Jay, and happy listening.

Here's a picture of the Massive Attack before the new faceplate

And the beautiful Singlepower Stepped Attenuator (balanced) that was installed,
Steve's beautiful woodwork below it

Jay forgot to mention that the original aluminum faceplate was welded to the rest of the chassis. Half the fun of Saturday was cutting the welds to remove the faceplate so we could mount the new one. Fortunately no beer was involved prior to that.

Good thing I'm divorced. If I wasn't, I surely would of been for arriving home at 3am. It was a very long day.
