Happy B-Day

Scottish Chamber Orchestra (Mackerras) - Mozart Symphonies 38-41 [HD 24/88.2]

I don't keep a pic of my first HiFi rig, that was about 30 years ago, but I've found pics of some of its components: Dual 1225 turntable. Don't ask about the cart VIETA (Spanish brand) integrated amplifier with phono input. Mine wasn't this exact model, but looked a bit similar. You get the idea though. Marantz (Superscope era) cassette deck. Again mine wasn't exactly this very same model, but came quite close with the big VU meters, phones out, mic inputs... No luck finding the speakers, they were an obscure brand named "Jackson". They were 2 way monitors, not exactly "bookshelf" but not very big either. They served well for 3 or 4 years until I managed to burn the coils Hey, I was 17 or so and we were partying My first headphones were closed, with coiled wire and a volume pot on the right cup. I can't even remember the brand, but I can remember they weren't good at all, I much preferred listening through the speakers.

I hope it's nothing Knuckles, if anything, that it gets better soon.

Viktoria Mullova & Otavio Dantone - Bach Sonatas (for violin and harpsichord) Pure bliss, I love this woman's playing.

Good luck with your surgery Nate, though perhaps we should wish it to your surgeon. Best wishes

Happy Bday!!!!

Happy (belated) Birthday Dmitri, I hope you had a great one

Here the first I linked not only doesn't show, but going to the link, it says "forbidden". Maybe it's an IP thing, or some Chrome bug.

Happy Birthday Nate, have a great day

Seems they blocked the pic. Maybe this one works:

Get the Boston Symphony Orchestra releases on high res available at their site. Great recordings, the Daphnis et Chloe was awarded a Grammy for the best orchestral performance. The Mahler and Brahms are very nice too.

Congratulations Al, they look great, also the case. Impressions?

Yep, I suppose, and it shouldn't be very expensive if it must not be a custom order. IIRC Birgir posted some pics (or has them) showing the trafo primaries so with a bit of soldering it should be possible to use the stock trafo at 230V. However we won't be sure this unit has the same trafo as the one Birgir knows until it arrives

It will come with a 230>100V step down external transformer, so I'll be able to use it right away. Not very sure it can be converted into 230V operation, nor if there will be any differences from using it with the step down or converted. We'll see
