Are you using a hosting site like Imgur? If so attach the links to your post and I may be able to help.

EDIT: I see you have 5 posts under your belt. PM me some pics or links.

Cant see you're name which you'll need to include.

Love the Hofner by the way.

Had a non working one when I was a kiddie.

It was nabbed out of the church I attended by some 'mischiefs',

An older neighbour, dear friend from my formative years knew what it was and offered me a newer working bass guitar for it, so I swapped.

He stripped it back completely, rebuilt it and had it re-painted white. It was fabulous when done.

Has got to be the only white, genuine Hofner around. No idea where it ever ended up. He died young and this would be 40 years back.

some fabulous kit there. Especially the Revox stuff.

Thanks. How come I can’t do it myself?

Thanks. How come I can’t do it myself?

Because I am a Genius :eek::lol:

What I had to do was open your links, copy them to a folder on my PC and them paste them into Imgur and copy the picture links from Imgur and add them with the "Insert Image" box.

Some lovely gear there Jacques. :)

Is that a Mayware arm you are using on your Technics deck, with what looks like a Denon 103 cartridge? Nice collection of Quad gear (you have almost as much Quad gear as me) and some lovely Revox kit as well. Many years ago I used a G36 (736), but foolishly sold it on. :doh:

[chartz]

Yes, Barry, a Mayware and a DL103. Against all odds they gel perfectly. I know a DL103 on a lightweight arm shouldn't work, but here it does. It tracks well, does bass, and produces some nice 3D sounds, with a rather bright treble that I enjoy.

I'd never sell my G36, or my A77 for that matter. :confused:

[chartz]

Done. Imgur it is then. Google doesn't work either!

So, more stuff then.

Yet another Quad 34.

Auditor speaker, very British-like in its sound.

Lovely collection of gear there Jacques, I also use Quad 57's.

[chartz]

They are great speakers. They work great on the Technics setup too. In fact, about anything will make them sing I find. The valve amp finds them delicious (16 Ω tap).
Mine were made by OTA 4 years ago.

Did the "Le Tube" come with the o-ring for the volume controls or is that a tweak? One for the Croft users maybe?

:lol: Love the use of a rubber 'O'-ring to gang the two level controls together. :) Jean Hiraga designed some good gear, and has/had some interesting ideas on the harmonic spectrum of component distortion products.

[hornucopia]

An old trick-see DNM pre-amps.

I was tempted by the Hiraga amps recently. Had to remind myself I was DOWN-sizing not otherwise!

No I came up with that idea years ago!

Hiraga amps used very specific transistors. Today they are unobtainium.
I also have a DIY Kaneda phono preamp with original components.
