swt61 Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I found these new for $185 ea. on Amazon. That's about as cheap as any rack I've found, and nicer than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salt Peanuts Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I found these new for $185 ea. on Amazon. That's about as cheap as any rack I've found, and nicer than most. That's a nice price, especially if you use the free shipping option. Man, if I hadn't build my own DIY Flexy, I'd be all over it. I still may, but we'll see.

luvdunhill Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 those remind me of old TRW caps... Someone with a few more grey hairs / soldering iron burns should comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Had a bit of a shopping spree today. I'm nearing the end of my audio purchases for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hYdrociTy Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Nice choice of dac Now go hunt down a DTI Pro32 those remind me of old TRW caps... Someone with a few more grey hairs / soldering iron burns should comment. I would love to find out exactly what it's made of. I only have 3 pairs so sacrificing a piece for autopsy is out of the question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I would love to find out exactly what it's made of. I only have 3 pairs so sacrificing a piece for autopsy is out of the question I have some cheap, generic film caps that came with some tweeters I bought a while ago that look exactly like those.

swt61 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Nice choice of dac Now go hunt down a DTI Pro32 I paid next to nothing for it. It has several inputs, and my plan is to use it with my PC, as I never do any critical listening with MP3 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swt61 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 I paid a little bit more, but not too much. This one is in almost mint condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swt61 Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 OK one more thing. I had to pick this gem up. It will be installed on the Thorens TD-160 Mk.II which will be modded with a new Wenge plinth. So the idea with all the new TT's I've been picking up is to mod them with wooden plinths and new parts, then sell them. Is it bad that I don't want to sell them now? Is it redundant to have 3 very different TT's on top of my racks? I have a giant slab of 3" thick Maple that I could place on top of my two new racks, and it will fit the 3 TT's and my CD transport. Tell me guys is this crazy, or is there justification for my collection? There just so different and cool in their own ways! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duggeh Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 HD201? They look like big legoman headphones. I'll bet they sound no worse than the 280 Pro though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
