    Default Baja's system

    hi keith,
    nice to see the allinic amps - and to get the impression, that they are quite amazing.
    I own I full silvaweld system that contains the otl tube reference 100 monos (developed and built by mr. park) a swc 1000rc line pre amp and a swh 550 mkII phono pre (both pre amps are special versions built exclusively for the former german distributor blackforestaudio, bfa). although they are really terrific unique, I'd like to sell the line pre and the otl monos - because I have to shrink my systems. probably there are some interested guys around?
    I enclose a few images. probably it's nice to see them in comaparison with the allnic amps ...
    best,

    swc 1000rc line pre with power supply





    open heart with blue kr 300b in the power supply



    line pre without power supply


    otl tube reference monos with 8 new highly selected NOS tubes by german tube guru rainer röder




    behind the naf integrated is the phono pre and at the right site of the audio rack stands the tube rectified power supply of the phono pre




    phono pre open heart

    Hi Baja, sory to hear you are selling your amps, they look great and I have been told that the OTL's are amazing! Which direction is your system turning towards? Regards Keith.

    hi keith,
    in sum I've spent to much time (and money) in audiophile gear - regarding my limited capabilities. after indulging in my system for a few years (honestly there was no upgrade, that could fit to my budget) let's say I'd like come back to music. the wilson benesch turntable and the audioplan konzert mkII speakers are sold already.
    my next system will be a pure stereo system, containing a garrard 301 (norma-hylee-tech 301 project), a pair of altec 604h in rebuilt 612 custom cabinets (still wondering if I should go for new GPA's series II or III with ferrites or if I should wait for a vintage pair with alnicos) and an integrated amp (I keep my new audio frontiers, because this is a very unique item). also the mr67 tuner, the silvaweld phono pre and the einstein cd player will stay.
    best,

    Looks like an Ikea table from the "Lack" range.Very good as a hi-fi rack,and inexpensive too.

    Nothing wrong with Lack tables, especially on certain suspended chassis belt-drive turntables.

    yes, try it! for £55 it's not a pig in a poke. btw I've got some amazing response to this 'rack' from serious asian audio enthusiasts - of course on the quiet.
    it's really cheaply built, out of veneer, but inside there is a pretty tricky construction of cardboard lamellae/combs. essentially needed are rubber rolls under the shelf.
    fun with lack!
    best,

    Tortlyte technology at Ikea prices I used my Ikea Lack coffee table to support the 401 Slatedeck for Heathrow. I've even spiked it now!
