The EVO 400 sounds great with the stock EL 34s but in my system setup the KT 150s, my S812 REL sub along with my Forte IVs take the mid bass and lower registers to another level.. I listen to music off and on for hours daily and the PL is never fatiguing. I often listen at low levels and dynamics never seem to suffer at those low levels. Crank it up and mid range vocals sound live in my living room. Highs are clear and bright but never irritating bright. Low bass is solid and you feel it deep inside. Ithe KT150s almost make the low end sound like it’s a solid state amp but the overalll sound is tube warmth with the holographic sounds only an all tube amp can convey. I don’t yearn to try different amps because the EVO 400 sounds incredible to me.

I was the personal photographer for Hefs last wife for almost 10 years. I have shot with many top playmates and adult film stars over the years. So yes I have sexier images but they are not appropriate for this forum.

I don’t post anything not “G” rated on the Klipsch forum

which one is your old GF?

Are you thinking of getting rid of your EVO 400 and getting a Decware instead? I have never heard a Decware but would love to hear one and compare with my Primaluna but it probably will never happen for me. I just enjoy my EVO 400 too much.

Ha ha ha - film? What is film? Jk - I shot most of those pictures at iso 200 and used my 300mm f2.8 lens or my 70-200mm 2.8 lens. There are a number of great photographers on this forum, for sure. I have many lenses and used them dependent on what my goals were. Shooting a large lens like a 300mm is great for shallow depth of field but you have to be careful with the extreme compression when shooting people.

Thanks for the kind words Steve.

As crazy as it might sound I got bored working with so many glamor models after so many years.

Instead of pimping oneself about how great you are maybe its better to be quiet and let your work do the talking. Who know if CBH ever designed and actually built any amps let alone any SUPERIOR amps. Sorry Shakey and WCD got scammed by CBH!

Those Toolshed amps are beautiful and I’m sure they sound amazing. I used to shoot a lot of Sports Illustrated style photography for Bikini companies and many photographers posted on photo forums that they could create much better pictures if they had my 300 mm lens. All I could think was if they were so talented and I was CRAP that they should pay the $5,000 on the same lens I was using and show us all how great they really were.

It’s tough trusting anyone on any social media site. Better chance when dealing with a legit company like I did when ordering my Forte IVs from Paducah. The deal they gave me was fantastic and shipped next day. Far less then retail and arrived perfect but they area legit business. My guess is that Decware and Dennis Had would never Jack people around like CBH did with so many here.

I am sorry to see that you and WestCoast never received your Amps and that no matter what excuses CBH gave you guys it doesn't make any sense that he could not have sent you images of the builds in progress. It is sad that in todays world integrity of so many people has ceased to exist. Cant the moderators here ban members like CBH?

LHY Bluesound PSU Kit $279.00Price Bluesound Node/2/2i PSU Kit This is the kit I ordered from BEATECHNIK.COM

Alvin at vineshine audio in Singapore just loaded a utube about changing out the switching power supply of a Bluesound Node 2i to an external linear power supply. I ordered the kit he featured and it arrived yesterday and I installed it and am blown away. My Node 2is sound improvement is not subtle. Bass response is greatly improved and mids are clearer, soundstage is wider and better defined and high frequencies are brighter without being edgy. Vocals are better than I have ever heard from the Node. For less than $300 and about 15 minutes of time replacing out the internal power supply my streaming setup is fabulous. the combo of the Node 2i, external power supply and the Denefrips Pontus, evo 400 and Forte IVs is intoxicating.

I love my beautiful brdeI - Yowza! She actually surprised me and when the bill came for my teeny tiny itty bitty Forte IVs she paid them off before I even saw the credit card bill.

I like the sound of that - Mr Moneybags!!!!!! You know I am retired and living off social security and that barely paid for my tummy tuck and boob job and my lip injections and buttocks implants have to wait until next year. btw - I like to think you are feeling very flush, always! Happy New Years my friend!

@claudeJ1 loves the weather in Detroit and the bikini clad babe models that are abundant there but when it gets too cold he is usually jetting off to the south of Italy to worship the sun and cruise his Ferrari.

I assume that @ClaudeJ1 has the matching McLaren car to go with his Danley subs and other fancy gear camera gear etc.

Wow - check out the new MCL-905 McLaren limited edition dual 15" woofer speakers!

I purchased my Primaluna EVO 400 about 3 years ago. After a month a tube arced and Upscale Audio had a new El34 tube replacement to me that same day. I now run KT150s and have never had another tube wear out or fail. My EVO400 is used for TV and music many hours a day. The EVO is self biasing so there is virtually no maintenance and I anticipate it will be years before any tube replacement will be required. A well designed Integrated tube amp doesn’t have to similar to owning a boat and be just another money pit. The combo of my Forte IVs, REL S 812 sub and EVO400 is magic.

thanks

Wish I could find a schematic
