2017 Hi Fi plans , Whats yours ?

Nope. Could be the Mandela Effect.

Could be.

"The name of the theory comes from many people feeling certain they could remember Nelson Mandela dying while he was still in prison back in the ’80s. "

You mean Bev didn't die in a South African prison in the 1980s?

Cripes, she had me fooled.

I wish I hadn't read this thread as I feel compelled to list my audio jobs for 2017 and the number of them is now depressing me! Oh well, here goes...

1. Refurbish Leak 3090 speakers
2. Refurbish B&O Beovox Penta speakers
3. Refurbish Celestion Ditton 25 speakers
4. Refurbish B&O Beovox 5000Mk3 speakers
5. Modify Goodmans B-Max crossover so it works properly.
6. Repair Thorens TD-224 and have a plinth made for it
7. Repair Technics RS-9900 cassette deck
8. Have a plinth made for Garrard 201B and find an arm for it
9. Finish re-furbishing Technics SL-P1200 CD player
10. Replace the tape counter belt on Beocord 2400 cassette deck
11. Service and repair Tascam 122 cassette deck
12. Repair Proton AA-1150 power amp

and almost inevitably...

13. Buy more non-working stuff and fail to get round to doing anything with it!

but finally and on a cheerier note:

14. Join 'Vinyl Me, Please'!

My system is sounding good but I can not stop thinking what IF so it ends up I take perfectly working stuff apart and experimenting

Jobs I do plan to do are

Build a pair of class D amplifiers.
complete rebuild of my Paradise phono stage
Build a EAR 834 valve mm phono stage kit I bought ages ago

Recap both of my Revox PR99s

Build or buy a new DAC

Experiment with damping the motor on my Pioneer turntable

Separate mains supply for my HIFI

I shouldn't bother, the paradise is so far ahead of it in performance.

The 834 is seriously compromised by being a feedback equalisation design IMHO.

I wouldn't bother with the Class D Alan IMO, does lots well but ultimately doesn't cut the mustard. Build a nice valve OTL! :-)

lol I posted that. Bev was talking about tattoos awhile back and I said I didn't like tattoos normally but that one I do like. Its from the Kushiels Dart the first in a series of books I read and enjoyed. The tattoo is a house mark. You can read about it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kushiel's_Dart

I'm only going to set myself two goals for this year.
The first is to finish my DDDAC, REALLY looking forward to this, its been in pieces for too long now. The second is to build another pair of OB speakers. I currently use the Lampizator P17 DIY OB speakers and I plan to build the Lampizator P24's I have most of the drivers and the woofers on on their way to me from Russia as we speak. When the DDDAC is complete this will be my next project.
