Nice accent wall. Time intensive. Kudos.

You never cease to impress. You sir have mad skills. You make me look like a rookie. Not an easy thing to do.

All done. Makes a nice little system.

Yes, the volume control is a stepped ladder attenuator. It was something I had laying around and tried. I have ordered a 50K Alps blue velvet pot to use in its place. The mechanical switching in this cheap ladder is too noisey for my liking.

My latest build is based on a Nelson Pass design found on the DIYAudio forums. Even though it doesn't look like it, this is a tube preamplifier. What looks like a glass IC is actually a Korg Nutube 6P1 Dual Triode. I purchased the PCB and NuTube from DIYAudioStore. The chassis is from China...

Great way to listen to high end audio without the expense.

My wife started watching Stranger Things and I got sucked in this past weekend. We binged through the 1st and 2nd season.

Swapped these amps with the 2A3 tubes in my DIY system and am liking it. The bass control is great and the extra headroom allows for more bass punch.

Speaking of movie music, one of the songs that always comes to mind is Queen's Who Wants to Live Forever in Highlander. It is played while he carries is wife, who has died of old age, up the hill to be buried. If you don't feel something during this scene, you have no soul.

Note: Music produced by Alan Parsons. You will pick up his style on a few tracks.

That is a good question. I like both and have watched each several times. That is kind of the test for me. Is it something I want to watch more than once.

Alita : Battle Angel - I had to turn down my sub. This movie has some serious LFE.

This was not a kit and there are no instructions. Anaview (Abletec) typically sells to manufacturers, who use these in production applications; like the Teac AX-501. The schematics are part of the PDF download. http://www.anaview.com/sites/default/files/PDS ALC0240-2300-I.pdf I used that to...

To tell the truth, I know she got it because it is Marvin Gaye and didn't have a clue it was a Mobile Fidelity one-step. She was just following her super shopper instinct of buying what was expensive. She's a keeper.

If there wasn't enough to love about my wife, she buys some vinyl and nails it.

The inner workings.

My latest project. The base module will run 55wpc in stereo and 200 in mono, so I built two. I added a switch so I can run them as stereo amps or as a set of mono blocks.

There must be something wrong with me. I don't watch YouTube channels. I see a video every now and then, but don't subscribe to any or even know of any that I can recall. I do watch music videos on an Apple TV that is hooked to the stereo in my back room.

A friend sent me this ADC arm that had a fixed (glued in place) head shell and a broken wire. I installed a Luxman removable head shell and fixed the wire. It took longer to get the head shell from Ebay, than it did to upgrade and fix.

Now for something a little different. Mozart Violin Concerto In G Major Kv 216, I. Allegro
