The Western Electric’s sound excellent in my main amp but unfortunately their primary duty is only in the pre-amp so I am looking forward to seeing what they actually do in a power amp. I have NO time on this amplifier yet hopefully within th next week or 2 i will have some sort of impression and for the amount of funds invested I hope the return is worthwhile in my own eyes…
EDIT: I can compare them to the EH 300B’s as far as what differences they made in my Vinnie Rossi L2iSE. The EH have more bloom in the bottom end and a softer top end. The WE’s are tighter in the lower regions with more sparkle and air in the upper highs. Midrange is sweet as could be on both models.
Since we’ve become empty nesters, I decided to take one of the empty bedrooms and turned it into a theater room a couple years ago. Then headphones came into the picture…. So I added a rack with a laptop for listening.
It’s become more of an audio cave and now, I guess, a cable/amp workshop. We’ll see how that newest part goes. Guess I need to learn how to solder now that I went and bought all this
I am utterly shocked at the lack of Eames chairs in here. I thought you were morally obligated to get one after you spent your first $1k in audio products.
Sunday morning changeover for the next few weeks: Roon > Border Patrol SEI or LM32 > Pass HPA-1 or A&S OG Pendant.
The Pass is set-up to also work as a pre-for the A&S which allows me much better volume control and power for planars.
The Border Patrol doubles as a SPIDIF converter when i decide to use the Mac Book instead of the PI once in a while.
I feel like the PASS was a really great value since it does a very respectable job as a Pre-amp too. All pieces are relative in value to one another and offer a good sense of diverse SQ and capable performance.
and then I further secured them with an old leather belt I cut into pieces and drilled in on either side to keep things snug.
They are bare metal so risk scratching what ever you put in them. I used some adhesive foam sheets to avoid that. I’ve since moved onto different gear that is no longer mounted under the desk, except my MacMini and some SSD drives. If you would find the brackets useful let me know I have no need for mine.
That stand is awesome!!! Thanks!! Yes, I need it!! I’ll give the hint to my wife since my birthday is coming.
The two vertebral spine stands I have are actually chandeliers that I transformed using wood for the part where the headband rest.
…Alien…???
