WTF? I thought you loved that 845 beasty. Third time around with the McCormack, or fourth? Congrats.

Third time's a charm, just fired it up 30 minutes ago and the sound is sweet. I do/did love the 845 but between heat and tubes I decided to head back into SS territory for power amp needs.

Get O2s naow.

Bitches need to sell a playa some O2s

Well, as you know, I loves me some McCormack, and my SS power amps are built right into my speakers, so there you go!

Just got the latest Mouser order and I managed to order the wrong rotary switch. I really need to be able to switch the input ground but in my infinite wisdom bought a 2P6T instead of 3P4T... :palm:

Replacement chinese T-amp arrived. This one works. Rather it functions. But it really is a piece of shit. Loads of hiss and some really hard ultrasonic or high treble energy which gives me a headache no matter what I attatch to it.

Tone controls are awful.

Might be able to cure some of this by modding it a bit. Replace the input op-amp, bypass the bass and treble dials, put in some better caps etc. Just not sure if it's worth the bother even if I had the time.

Newest version of the one to be found talked about here.

Just get one of the Muse T-amps and be done with it. Not great by any means but sounds ok with Stax transformers and it works just fine driving the Spendors for TV duty. You could always build a gainclone on the cheap...

Where are all the iPad purchasers?

I don't consider a preorder a buy

Some Ojai Pinot and a three pack of Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon. Many years on the waiting list and finally.

If I get an ipad, it wont be until they've been out a while. As an ex- first-gen iphone owner, I see the advantage to waiting a bit now.

Plus I have no monies, which helps.

Is this a good deal?

I don't consider two preorders a buy.

Oooh... that looks good, thanks!

Cinematube.

Thanks Reks.

Paid for Pico Slim pre-order. I'm not in the first 250, but I figured I'd just pay for it while I remember since I don't frequent the HF that often anymore.

Legal hairsplitting! Pre-ordered one of these for SA.

Was lucky to get one from a raffle, it plays virtually everything though the UI leaves a bit to be desired.

Did you get the optional extras?

That is precisely why I do not intend to drive on the actual roads, per se.

I really do admire the way you just don't fuck around.

We'll see. Remember the old joke about Land Rovers: Why do they have rear defrosters? To keep your hands warm while you're pushing them to the garage.

Yes, but the best thing about British cars today is that they're no longer British.

A mixed case of Seasmoke Cellars Southing and Ten Pinot. Living room system needs moar tweaking.

Tru dat. They are German through and through, especially the Land/Range Rovers.
