Well, I ordered the brush cutter, and not the mower version. I will report back on the state of my back after the first 3 to 4 hour session with it....

I have the older version, and it is a great bit of kit. However, I am tempted to try an R-2R DAC.

Seems to do the job well, and this is not self propelled.

A similar machine:

I found the technique for brush cutting without a bad back a few years ago. Don't twist at the hips, but use your arms. My only concern with the...

Had to cut the grass for the first time yesterday. Too early in the year to start, but it needed doing. 3 hours of listening to tunes can’t be bad....

Surely the sound will depend on the analogue output stage?

Is he not the person that believe all DACs sound the same?

I have a Funk Firm bearing. No complaints from me.

I think it all boils down to what you want from your system, or what particular sound you are looking for. We are all different, which is a good...

I have no complaints with my 686. It is not soulless in my opinion.

You are quite right. May be I should have waited. :lol: It adds quite a bit to the price though, even when considering the parts cost.

The complete set are only available by special request. There was no option on the website when I bought mine. The amp boards are pre-built now, as...

Unless you buy fully populated boards, there is more to it than that.

It was not bad. A present from the wife, but for the price I think you can get better. I have this and Amrut Fusion, which is quite good as well.

It is cheap considering it has a few Télés in there.

If I was buying now, I would seriously consider the VM95ML. A bit more expensive, but pretty good, unless of course it is just to play old/bad...

At high volume... If you often listen at high volume, then it’s probably the most powerful amp that you want.

I think they all share the same basic circuit design, so I would select the amp based on the power requirements. I went from Mod -86 monos to a 686...

I built my 686. Very enjoyable experience, and great support from Tom.

With only twelve watts required, a Modulus -86 would work.

What is moulded foam?

The Funk one is more complex in the way that the cartridge is able to move easier, in certain directions. It is not a block of foam between two...

The isolator is a use once affair, as you cannot get new glue. I have not compared the Houdini directly, as I don’t want to peel the isolator off...

I own the Isolator, as well as a Houdini. The devices are very different in construction.
