New amp - and it's solid copper

[Big Vern]

Hi Josie,

That is one gorgeous looking amplifier...I love copper, as the colour changes depending on the light... that deep red in the fading light will compliment the glow of the valves and the wonderful sounds they produce. well done on a superb acquisition

Nicked a picture Josie for my Zonerama collection.(attributed of course and non downloadable). Its one of the prettiest Ive seen. yummy

As audiophiles we all go on about how the sound is more important than the looks, but I say if you can get something that looks good as well - why not. That thing is so far fabulous to the point where polishing it would actually be a pleasure than a chore.
Q. Power or integrated?

Hi Paul.

Thanks very much. Yeah, the copper aspect is really quite beautiful and even nicer in the flesh as copper has an uncanny way of looking different in certain light.

Hi Andrei.

It's power only. Driven with the Croft to the left. I've only given it a quick buff to remove some fingermarks and it looks superb, need the time to do a full clean. But it's not something to do very regular as I really love the patina of copper.

I would rather listen to it, it's really quite intoxicating. But your right, to have something of such beauty with the sound to match is quite something these days.

Hi Grant, sure, that's fine Thanks I'll probably do some more photo's later too and of the full system to update this thread.

Very nice Josie, a rare score. I assume Ian sold his, or did Anthony build a new one? Would like to hear one someday.



Regards Neil

Thanks Neil. This was bought from Ian. A rare score indeed, it's No. 5 of 6 in the world as far as I remember Ian saying.

That sounds cool, Grant!..

Hi Jo, could I ask what IC you are using between your TT and the Croft and copper amp?

Thanks

Hi James.

Sure, it's a cable that Audio Origami fitted... it's quite basic but to be honest I've got no complaints, sounds sweet.

I still use the original connector on the SME as once cleaned and checked it's a really good connector.
