  1. It's a Topping acrylic rack sitting on top of Bluecell isolation feet. The rack you can get on Apos and the feet on Amazon.
  2. Not just different tubes, the sockets are wired for 12ax7 tubes. My A10 needs converters.
  3. Thanks for posting this. I had never heard Jellyfish before, what a revelation. How did I miss this band? Wow!
  4. That Nixie amp is a hybrid using an STA540 IC amp as the output stage and those EAM86 tubes are just a light show. I wouldn't compare it to the Tubecube. Totally different animal.
  5. I have both the MP-301 first generation and the MkIII. I discovered the original Mp-301 through Headfi.org, so yeah it was touted as a headphone amp initially. I think the later versions are used primarily as speaker amps. I have used both amps in various combinations with Heresy I and IIIs and Forte Is, all combos sounded excellent and played plenty loud with no audible clipping.

    Well J for that matter but I digress.
  7. Beautiful work. Better than original. I'm curious about the spring clip terminals. What not binding posts?
  8. I'd like to see GM start making the 1957 Chevy Bel-Air again. Who's with me?
  9. You know what I did when I felt like upgrading and improving? I bought new Heresy III's and left my old ones as is.
  10. I'm very fortunate to own a pair of 44 year old Heresies that are all stock, all original and look like this. They sound just as good as they look. I am not messing with them. I don't need a revival, mine never died. 😉
  11. Expect the unexpected.
  12. Here are some more flac radio channels. These can be plugged into almost all software players or even browsers, so you don't even need a streamer per se. They all sound great and the programming for the most part is very good too. No metadata on the Naim channels though.

  13. My advice would be to return the Digione if you can and get a Hifiberry Digi+ Pro. It's half the price and has Toslink optical out.
  14. If a product is MQA capable I'm sure the manufacturer will say so. They must pay a licensing fee to Meridian Audio to include it in their products. They are not about to keep that a secret.
  15. Those 97A Monoblocks are a steal at only 125,000 dollars a pair.
  16. I use a Loki full time with my Heresy IIIs. Took me a few hours to get it where I like it and haven't touched the knobs since. Set it and forget it. 100 is a steal. Go for it.
  17. I'm tempted to pull these off and replace them with fakes.😁
  18. I've seen eBay listings for over 100 a pair. That's crazy.
  19. When I bought my Heresies new in '77 I remember asking the salesman if he had any with the PWK logo, no he said, "Sorry, this is how they come now." I was a little disappointed. Turns out they're rare and worth beaucoup bucks now. I guess they were CNC laser printed. I never fully appreciated them until now, they actually are really quite nice. 44 years and I really never took a good look at them.
  20. Just four guys at home hanging out on the internet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6jD6xSvCKQ
  21. Nice little streamer. Unique form factor, works well, sounds great. 75 bucks with shipping to US included. PM me if interested.
  22. If I took a selfie with this lens the number would be 115.
