mwhouston Posted April 25, 2024 Posted April 25, 2024 Been quite a while since this wine box metal tube (refurbished) 6L6 has been in my system. Definitely not with the Aspire tube preamp. Driver tube is Psvane 12AT7 interstage caps are Solens. http://retro-thermionic.blogspot.com/2017/07/retro-6l6-se-ul-mkii-power-amp.html 7

Can’t wait to tell the wife I was right about something. She may not believe me though. Listened to the modern iteration of these at the 2018 Hi Fi Show.....for their size, they were one of the highlights of the show for mine. 1

Never heard them but would love to. Real old school looking “boxy” speakers that I understand just sound so good. Robinson's review is worth a listen. I’ve listen to it a few times. 1

I was once an avid collector, probably more rightly a hoarder. When it all boiled down, I just couldn't live without four pairs of speakers. First world problems! 5 5
08Boss302 Posted April 28, 2024 Posted April 28, 2024 Nice day for a bit of change up. Next, I'd like to add some room treatment, but will have to be after tax return time this year A.M P.M 16
BLAH BLAH Posted April 28, 2024 Posted April 28, 2024 Hi @08Boss302 looks just like my man cave with the Richmond flag at half mast! 1

I don't play, I bought these specifically for meet and greets to get signed and display. Both official signature model guitars that I had personally signed at the respective meet n greets. Scott Ian, His signature model Jackson V, met him at his spoken thing about 6 or so years ago, got a heap of stuff signed with this including my OG s.o.d LP Dave Mustaine, his signature Dean model. Have been fortunate to meet him a few times, this was signed at an in-store back in about 2008... 6 1

Misternavi Posted April 28, 2024 Posted April 28, 2024 Berkeley Audio Alpha 1. + Benchmark A200 power amp + Whatmough 202 Holy Crap! this DAC is Amazing. Deep Bass with micro detail. I’m hearing things in the bass that i have never heard before. Instrument separation is so good. 7 1

Yeah, the mechanical beauty which is the TD124 is one I can’t see giving up, even when I’m tempted to go digital. Tannoy hpd315 with chamois leather surrounds (from Japan). Great speakers, I bought mine here but need to move them on. I’ve had very little interest 1

The picture to the right has no glass in the frame. Not that it matters much. Quite a bad room acoustically although a huge thick rug helps a little Peter. Edited April 29, 2024 by Maynard 1

My room is on the lively side though lots of heavy furniture and carpet. I find it enjoyable without noticing reflections etc.
Misternavi Posted May 3, 2024 Posted May 3, 2024 Procrastination day. Comparing George Sercher/Benchmark A1(older) to the A200 power amplifier and of course the A200 is better. Trying out the OAD streamer/DAC Makes listening to music so much more easier. I love the small size. OAD / Benchmark / Whatmough= Melbourne System 7

awayward Posted May 4, 2024 Posted May 4, 2024 I thought I’d better check that the Lenehan ML2 limited speakers are still working after 11 months of inactivity and before the new owner picks them up next week. Holy cr*p I forgot how good these speaker are! 11 1 2
