Full Range

Ahh very good The TD 147 I have purchased, is like a TD160 super with all the super modifications and auto lift at the end of the record ✅

@cincymat is that TT a Thorens ? And what model Asking because I made a post comment a couple days ago about me getting another TT Update - I got a Thorens TD147

Heat sinks for class A amps need to be large enough or components will burn up So the casing is made to the size of the heat sinks

Think I have it on digital files

Yes it’s sealed and it’s the 200gr Classic Records release They are selling for about $250.00 AU plus + Edit - Had a look at Discogs pricing - Used in GC - VG are about $50 US

I purchased it from a forum member here in OZ This is is the exact one https://www.discogs.com/The-Jimi-Hendrix-Experience-Axis-Bold-As-Love/release/1486606

@billybob I made a mistake My Discogs collection list has Are You Experienced (stereo) Axis Bold As Love (Mono)

@billybob I have 2 of the Jimmi Hendrix - Bold As Love One is an AU first pressing the other is a Mono release still sealed Great album

My review is below And it’s on this M2 build thread —.https://community.klipsch.com/index.php?/topic/162981-first-watt-clone-the-diy-m2/& A couple of us building the First Watt M2 at almost the same time My review of the M2 Using Harris/Vishay Transistors and Audio-note non magnetic resistors in R1,R2,R3,R4 This review is judged against my previous amp builds - the F5 from memory and the F6 Components used in this test Pre - Nakamichi CA5 II Source - Cyrus CD8 SE Medium - CD Speakers - Klipsch La Scala ( Highly Modified ) Sensitivity min 104db Album - Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon, and my brutal mixed track test CD Warm up 1 hour The F6 is super sharp and precise and does all things nice In a word - Its very analytical and has excellent 3D presentation in high sensitivity speakers just like the F5 its very punchy but has more finesse than the more rugged F5 amp The M2 is extremely precise, but with a presentation that has more reserved control with an emphasis on the instrument separation and vocal area In playback, its not holding anything back but only gives whats required to get the job done The M2 portrays the feeling and tempo of the music a little better, by emphasising a slightly more controlled and a warmer feel with a wider presentation Still very sharp on changing passages but with a little more warmth Treble - is clean and clear with lots of hang time and controls the full spectrum until it trails off Midrange - is where the M2 shines and it shines on vocals and softer instrumental passages Bass - is still abundant but with A little less thump but has more control To compare the sharpness scale of the F6 and M2 Amps with an example F6 = You have a cleaver and a piece of steak on a cutting board You have the cleaver raised at head level and strike - it cuts immediately and cleanly But you can't hit a precise spot to cut M2 = You have a sharp knife and a piece of steak on a cutting board You have the knife placed exactly where you want it to cut - you push - it cuts immediately and cleanly but cuts in exactly the place you want it -- This is the M2 FR

I just purchased another Turntable by stealth Its for curiosity sake to compare tonal differences against the Garrard 401 Also the engineer in me wants to refurbish and tweak the unit, to make it a super TT deck More to come

Beautiful mate I also loved my F6 but later went on to an M2 build I paid a bit more and purchased the pre drilled & tapped chassis for the M2 - That made life easier Enjoy

Nelson pass amps - Pass Labs models or First Watt models Currently I use daily a First Watt M2 Some photos of the final stages of the M2 build

Listening on a recommendation Artist - Four Squirrels Title - Example Only one album released because of a tragic road accident killing two of the 4 band members

Some Greek prog

From another Klipsch Forum thread Shure will exit phono cartridge production

@dirtmudd That UK is a fantastic album - top marks on that purchase @WillyBob Been on the lookout from my regular sources for some Gentle Giant - I need to get some releases on vinyl

Thats the same version as in my collection ✅👌 Exept it’s the AU pressing also not gold https://www.discogs.com/The-Alan-Parsons-Project-Tales-Of-Mystery-And-Imagination/release/5240210

Your a champion mate Did you see the trio of jazz records I posted by the Australian band Galapagos Duck 🦆

The photos do look similar ✅ Im trying to change up the photos for a little variety

Time for some New Wave Synth Pop from 1985 I have already presented the very popular Heatland album released 1983 The Flame album was released next but had big shoes to fill They did that convincingly — All great tracks But listen to the track - Cathedral Artist - Real Life Title - Flame

Today I found hiding in amonst the classical part of the collection From 1974 a great rocky prog album Artist - Procol Harum Title - Exotic Birds and Fruit 

I wonder if he will do King Crimson

You should see my reactions when I listen to Genesis - Nursery Cryme

Today’s playing is a Jazz day So a trio of Australian jazz happily spinning and listening by this band from my collection My favourite of the trio is St James with Don Burrows Artist - The Galapagos Duck Titles - Endangered Species  In Flight St James
