That flux capacitor looks great in it’s own glass case
Indeed. Plus I've converted to run on garbage rather than plutonium.That flux capacitor looks great in it’s own glass case
That amp is possibly the most hardcore thing we have seen on this site!
My grandfather was a radio ham - built his own RF power amps - it occupied a full 19" rack from floor to ceiling -- quite a thing - but the tubes were still not as amazing as those 833's.....
They're probably why there is no need for a fire in that fireplace!
Nice photograph above the fireplace, I recognize it, who is it by?

Latest incarnation:
-Roon ROCK
-Auralic Vega
-Michel Syncro / Goldring 1042
-Luxman L505uX II
-Tannoy Legacy Eaton
-Audioquest Cables (Pearl / King Cobra / Type4)
The amps are a true work of art, a real altar to tube amplification.I'm not sure I've posted a system picture here before - this is my new system, a promise to myself that when established in my own new home (following separation) I would invest in a new system having been obliged to sell my previous Naim/Shahinian set up about ten years ago.
This is still a work in progress as the music server is not yet installed. That will be a Lukasz Audio Lab custom built LDMS Mini (built to a budet so it can still run Roon, which the Pico cannot but I couldn't afford a full Mini). Rest of the system as follows:

- Lampizator Golden Gate MK1 DAC with volume control - this unit is second hand but was reconditioned and upgraded at the factory in Poland. The volume pot means I can feed it directly in to the power amps
- Albedo Monolith silver monocrystal interconnects
- Silvercore 833 monoblock power amps - these run the huge 833 tubes designed to power radio transmissions and rated up to 1500w but are instead configured to run at 20w output. Output transformer is handwound silver wired. Rogoz stands
- Horns FP10 with internal silver wiring upgrade sitting on custom made Rogoz stands
- Highfidelity CT1 speaker cables

Yup that's an odd one . Reflection in mirror maybe ?Door handle ?
Moved into my new house 3 weeks ago, but there’s so much to sort out - including a new roof ffs - but here is the rudimentary stereo set up. My usual Technics SL-1200G with Nagra PL-P and Sugden A21aP, (plus a lone Quad II mono waiting for its partner to return) and my beloved Falcon LS3/5a pair on brand-new-this-week SolidSteel SS7 stands. Just waiting for the shelves to be altered to fit my vinyl:
(PS bf has just come down to berate me for playing Dr John ‘too loud’ - I don’t know what to say)
Update: ...And he’s just walked out due to the ‘noise’. What a miserable 24-year-old. I expect better...the only solution is a cooked breakfast in the morning with a nice Bordeaux...IME
