Some liquid deliscious, courtesy of @oldtimer. Both are quite zesty and tasty. The Mordor Mud is fruity and fast acting, with a smooth finish, while the Soltice Scream wakens the whole palate, with a building finish that concentrates on the front of the tongue. 👅. Thanks @oldtimer. You not only have a good palate, you have the ability to translate it into words for the rest of us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 That's middle of the road pricing... no where near upper end. The AK120II I sold actually costs more than this SE100 unit and I welcome it in my rotation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phono stage is next for me, then I said I was quitting until this pair of Khorns slipped into my life. Drooling even more now... I think I'm beginning to see why women have trouble buying shoes... Just one pair... Then another pair... So you divide that cost by 2 for a laff @ $100 a foot for a $200 pair of shoes... They fail to see the humor in that though... That settles it... No wifey so I guess I can buy the Khorns! Maybe... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only do I have a problem with buying more gear, I don't like to get rid of any of my older gear! I have a complete rack in our storage area that has nothing but boxes (yes I keep the original boxes) of all of the components, with very few exceptions, that I've replaced when I upgraded. Heck, I still have the Marantz 4400 (in its original overseas double box) that I purchased at the Yokosuka Navy Exchange when I left Japan for the US in 1975. 😲 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWL Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Dunlap-Clarke "Dreadnaught 500" power amp. In my possession for a demo. Very impressed so far. I'm thinking it's a keeper. Very rare. Totally restored by Stereo Rehab in Chicago. It's rustic look goes good in my room.....and the sound is IMPRESSIVE at 75-80db. I'll play it a little longer before I light this thing up. It's got some balls. We were rocking it at his shop on some big JBL's. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is it seems to be mostly worn out, wondering if I need to make it last a little longer ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Glass is ok but might not be much longer. I think the Crown is gonna get the boot. This Dreadnaught 500 has some serious nuts. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 They misspelled Dreadnought... I love the look of that thing, it's very attractive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWL Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I'm absolutely in love with the sound of this thing. I could give you all the adjectives but instead just say that it sounds damn sweet.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
