Getting your claws into that vinyl must feel good - my cat liked it too when I had a black version of one of those chairs.

Despite its pussy-status the SMSL Q5 Pro is still very much the amp-de-jour here. :)
Now hooked up via its mini-jack analog input to play some newly acquired classical vinyls - and sounding very good indeed. :thumbsup:

Took me a long time to spot it!
Headphone update!
Still into my vintage 'phones thing I bought a pair of B&O U70 orthodynamics. Bit of a design legend, these. Awesome looks if you like that sort of thing.
I got a pair dead cheap on t'bay as the earpads were totally AWOL and MIA.
But a quick scout back on ebay turned up a promising pair of pads of about the right dimensions, and with the help of some doublesided tape they are now attached and ready for music. :)

The U70 often get dissed on the headphone forums as being a poor implementation of orthodynamics, but I am surprised how good they sound!
Very open and excellent speed on plucked transients. Vocals have excellent presence and bass, while lacking in the extreme has good definition in the mid/upper-bass.
Cumfy, too.
Very pleased. :)
HI Jerry,
even though you don't know me at all, could you please do me a favour and buy one of the SMSL dacs from further up their range? One of the Sanskrit models or even higher would do. If you rate it could you please let me know ASAP and if its rubbish it will save me money.
Thank you . :eyebrows::D
Well, to be perfectly honest, the Q5 Pro is more than good enough for my humble system, so I'll leave it you to explore the more expensive regions of the SMSL catalogue, Darren. :thumbsup:
I look forward to your comments on it with bated breath. ;)
Geek + Q5. All 30 mins LOL.
