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.

Reisong A10 with rolled tubes vs Yaqin MC-100B stock
wetowne replied to sparton175's topic in Talkin' Tubes
Not just different tubes, the sockets are wired for 12ax7 tubes. My A10 needs converters. -
12 of the best-produced recordings to test your speakers
wetowne replied to MeloManiac's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
Thanks for posting this. I had never heard Jellyfish before, what a revelation. How did I miss this band? Wow! -
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.

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.

Would you want a revived 'original' Klipsch Heritage line?

I'd like to see GM start making the 1957 Chevy Bel-Air again. Who's with me? -

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. -

Those are beautiful! Like a time capsule, only better. -

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. 😉 -
Expect the unexpected.

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.

How to connect RPi Digione *digitally* to Klipsch R-41PM
wetowne replied to StevenLENOS's topic in 2-Channel Home Audio
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. -
Bump. Here's a review:

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.

Western Electric 300B Tubes are now available
wetowne replied to Jim Gregory's topic in Talkin' Tubes
Those 97A Monoblocks are a steal at only 125,000 dollars a pair. -
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.
-
I'm tempted to pull these off and replace them with fakes.😁
-
I've seen eBay listings for over 100 a pair. That's crazy.

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.
