A Visit to vinyljunkie's billet
New rig set up at Steve's new billet...after the thieves pinched his previous kit..Nice Thorens TD160 with a mission774 arm...Denon pre and monoblocs..a little Chevron paradox..a fire bottle head amp..and of course a pair of rather nice AN E's...plenty of coffee and jaffa's on the go the tunes started..Led Zep..Jack Johnson..Ry Cooder to name only a few...I'll not mention the shite I took along..a bit twee for Steve's taste..Krell mad (Vince)..and Clarkey555 (Pete the feet) were also present...It was a difficult night as this is a new rig...and needs some fettling in certain areas..but hey...this has the potential to be a very nice rig..once we get it sorted...Vince brought along a very nice Cambridge CXC transport and an exceptionally nice dac built by a local engineer..that good that Steve twisted Vince's arm up his back and relieved him of them...of course Steve is no mug..and got them for a bargain...I took along my Forte audio model 2 class A pre...which went in and brought the system to life...A cracking pre in itself also has on board a very nice phono stage..but sadly it was set up for mm...and not mc...but we're gonna source the values of the cart and set the internal switching to mc and see how it goes...but I just know it is gonna make his vinyl set up sing...
