That looks fuckin' incredible! Kudos.

Thank you, it's been a bit of a journey - some 30 years! Well worth it though.

Alan's Firebottle preamp works so well in my rig I have to say.

Thanks :blushing: ! It's subjective isn't it, but a number of experienced audiophiles have heard it (including members of this here forum) and have told me that it's the best system they ever heard. I don't know whether it's that good.

It certainly does everything that I want in terms of the SQ, so in that regard it's end-of-the road good. I won't be making any more major changes for a long, long time. Well, just need to add vinyl playback, headphone amp... :doh:

vinyl is a long dark road:eyebrows: as for cans....ba!:eyebrows: love those big tubes

Ha! Oh, I know... TT is going to cost me, not least because I'll have a good reason to increase my stalled vinyl collection. HPhones are useful late at night, since the horns are, well, full range to say the least.

jesus, those amps! very nice!

I know, theoretically overkill, but I was interested to see how well they'd work with sensitive horns and actually the combination does work. I never accept the accepted wisdom until I've checked it out for myself :scratch:.

Killer setup Robert.
