Yep, the PO's posterior. The delivery was 'Special' all right!
Any joy on that score yet?

Nah!
Think I'll end up just 'putting it down to experience'.
And being forever paranoid and obsessive when it comes to packing big tubes for posting!
:doh:
In Scotland 'tubes' has got a totally different meaning :lolsign:
Marco.
I bet it has..... No doubt involving some sort of deep frying!!! :ner:
Well if you're ever in Glasgow call someone a "big tube" and see what happens! :lol:

Blimey, it's been nearly 10 weeks since I sold my analogue bits and pieces and I'm climbing the walls now, having only cd to play. I've chopped and changed the format of my new integrated valve phono/linestage that's being built for me, due to some technical/design issues the latest and final iteration is basically the one I should have plumped for in the first instance - valve MM and linestage. I'm now considering either a MC headamp made by the same fella, or an auditorium23 step-up. I'm hoping to get the pre-amp by the end of the week, and I'll post some pics up then.
I've also replaced the quad active monitors with some rare sony active speakers that have electrostatic tweeters, I owned a pair of these some years ago and should never have sold them, they are every bit as good as I remember playing through the mini system and crap interconnects they are bundled with, my new valve pre-amp has been impededence matched with the amps, so I'm expecting great things from this combo.
Jeez, Nick, you've not sold your KAB SL1210, have you? :confused:Quote:

Hell no! I wouldn't sell the 1210 (ever)!....well maybe for a slatedecked mint sp10 mk3!
I'm refering to the phono stage and amp. I had less than an hour with my newly nuded 103pro before I boxed the amps, speakers and cables up and sent them off. that seems like a looooong time ago now. I dont know why I put myself through it. The end is in sight now though and the results should be interesting - there's something about 'active' that I just love.
I wonder how Richard is getting on with his 1210 tweaking?
I don't know I think it's on the back burner...
Thank goodness you haven't sold your 1210. From the sentence above, just for a second, it appeared that way!Quote:

Nick, let me give you the most absolute assurance possible (you can feel free to kill me if I'm wrong :eyebrows:) - if you go the MM valve phono stage route with an A23 step-up transformer, and your 103Pro/KAB-modified SL-1210, you will be in analogue heaven, trust me! It is a phenomenally good combination, of course depending on how good your valve MM stage is ;)
If you want to listen to the effect jump on the train and come up and visit. We were due to reschedule your last visit, anyway, so now's as good a time as any if you have a day to spare :smoking:
I would honestly hate to see you miss out on what this fabulous device does to a 103.
Marco.
Marco,
Have used the Audiotorium with any of the other Denon carts ?
I ask as I'm using a Denon AU300-LC trannie which according the website is for the DL103 and DL301ii models - I'm using a DL301ii at the moment and it's doing sterling work.
However I was thinking of upping the money and going for a better trannie, the AU300LC only cost about £70 imported from Japan.
I know the 23 is specifically for the DL103 but the requirements of the DL301ii are very similar (0.4mv. output and it wants a 40 Ohm load), I'm seriously considering taking the gamble.
Of course I'm still not convinced about these DJ decks you keep using :ner:
