SR-007 mk1

Wasn't I clear that I was selling you a PICTURE of them.....

Just kidding. I look forward to hearing whatever amp you work up for them.

Modwright SWLP 9.0SE Signature tube preamp with tube phono.

Now, that is jes' durn purty.

I just bought a bunch of LPs. Down, down, down the rabbit hole!

Oh Stretch you poor, poor man. Or at least soon to be.

Even more awesome!! Speaking of SRD-7's, I got the Pro bias PCB's yesterday and hope to test them today or tomorrow. The only issue I have with the design as of now is that the fuse holder I'm using is too tall (the plastic cover touches one of the transformers) and one resistor pad is too close to the metal support for comfort. Nylon washers should fix both issues.

Started buying parts for the next project this morning: 4 x 70uF/370VAC motor-run film caps. Looks like my future will involve cutting more large round holes in metal plates.

Time to start ordering the Blue Note Music Matters 45's before it's too late.

Isn't buying Blue Note Music Matters 45s PROOF it's too late?

Isn't buying Blue Note Music Matters 45s PROOF it's too late?

That would be correct but I was referring to the fact that the early released LPs have already or will sell out.

I have some lps, but strangely haven't found the need to go the tt route yet. I did just buy a bunch of cds a couple days ago, and thanks to amazon prime, am happily listening to them now.

$5000 if you subscribe to MM and AP

Oh yes and the Impulse! announcement

I wish MM was coming to SACD like all the others. WTF.

Nice! I really liked the SWL 9.0SE that was lent to me a while back. Are the only changes from the 9.0SE the phono section and outboard ps?

I think so. The Sig has the tube rectified PSU and Modwright teflon/oil caps. Some details from Modwright:

The SWLP 9.0SE is our answer to the 'complete' preamp, featuring a SWL 9.0SE tube linestage with external power supply and built-in full SWP 9.0SE tube phono stage.

Unlike other manufacturers who offer secondary phono options to their preamps, we literally combined our SWP 9.0SE phono and SWL 9.0SE linestage into one product.

The phono stage is installed inside the 9.0SE, where the power supply is normally installed. As a result, the power supply is made outboard, connected to the preamp with high-quality amphenol connectors and custom 10-conductor umbilical.

One of the advantages of this approach is to allow for ultra-quiet phono operation, with the power transformer well way from the sensitive high-gain phono circuits.

The SWLP 9.0SE functions as a standard tube linestage, with multiple line-level inputs, remote volume control, tape out and home theater bypass.

When used as a phono stage, not only is the cartridge loading set via internal dip switches for MM or MC loading, but gain (max 68dB) is infinitely variable. The volume control impedance is calculated as part of the RIAA filter and sits between the second and third gainstage. The linestage circuitry also serves as the final gainstage for phono.

FEATURES

• MM & MC Phono Inputs with Cartridge Loading (Internal Dip switch settings)
  
• Five standard inputs: CD, tuner, DVD, Ht/BP, Aux.1
  
• Front Panel Controls Include: Mute, Power, Stereo/Mono, HT/BP (Home Theater Bypass) and Volume control
  
• Remote Control Volume and Mute
  

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

[*]Tube Complement: (2) 6C45 (Sovtek), (2) 6n1P (Sovtek), (2) NOS 5687 dual triodes

[*]Gain: 68dB Max MC gain

Spritzer's former set.

Well, the seller turned out to be a pain in the ass about this transaction so I bailed on him and bought a different pair of SR-Omegas, complete with cardboard and wooden boxes, a Stax extension cord, a Stax stand, and an SRM-T1W all for $100 more than the first guy's Omegas (with extra headband, pads, and spritzer provenance).

Damn..... nice find!

I'd be happy to give you $100 for the SRM-T1W.

I offer one-fiddy ... and a box of crackers.

Screw the crackers. $20 for shipping and I send back those photos of you on the lake with the babysitter.

Rotel RC-1090 balanced preamp, so that I can use the good outputs on the 2900/ta

upgraded my DSL to 7.1mb.... I think by the time they get FIOS here I'll have grandkids

Nice, Al! Is the T1W you're getting black model or regular model?

The black ones were a later series made by new Stax methinks.

Don't know. I wasn't very focused on it and did not ask for pics.

Congrats Al and if you bring them to CJ'10 then I'd be happy to go over them for you.

AFAIK there were no black T1W's, only different shades of the gunmetal gray.
