Amazing deal on a tt

A bit over budget, but a great deal. I've heard this 'table at a local dealer and it's really really good.

Just something to consider...

That piece of plexi floating over the tube looks reTARded...

It adds transparency to the sound.

Tyrion bought it.

damn,, I mean well done!

Tyrion bought it.

Even though I decided to wait on a source upgrade, I at least get to hear this one next week

I only hope it's as good as the HSD/SB3/NMPSU.

I dont think you'll be disappointed. Can't say I'm not jealous

let us know how it is!

Definitely. It's at the top of my list for what I'll pay attention to this weekend. I was disappointed in the Transporter at the last meet, though am willing to partially chalk up my judgments to the cranky brat mood I was in when I spent time with it. I really hope to enjoy the Cosecant.

Mike, do you still have a Transporter? I wouldn't mind doing a comparison with fresh ears.

He sold his recently.

I sold it to fund the Cosecant which arrived at lunch time. I should have it running tonight.

Oh NOS the Hertsens is going to get kicked out of the stack already!

Not at all, they are sitting next to each other. The Hertsens is bigger than the Cosecant, which is smalller than I expected. Love the Hertsens (DAC).

are there 2 Hertsens, or did you sell yours, Nate?

There is only one, he sent it down for the meet. Although, if it's for sale....

Gear slut! You haven't even heard your Cosecant yet, tossed your barely used Transporter aside (though I agree with you on that one), and now you're courting Nate's dac. Shameless!

I prefer gear whore but your term is accurate as well. I wish Nate was coming to the meet. My goal was to get him real drunk, put a check in his pocket and tell him he sold me the dac.

ah, ok. with how much Nate loves that DAC, i was shocked with the idea that he might have sold it.

Having used it for the last week I can understand why he loves it.

It will not be sold. Purely on loan to the FLA crew since I had to send Mike stuff anyway it was easy enough to send it.

I only have my NOS ones. How does one get a fresh pair? Are they Russian? I hear those are supposed to be pretty good, but I've also heard Chinese are better. (Or maybe that was Japanese...?)

Also looking forward to the Wavelength DAC impressions

I'll be interested to see how it compares to the Hertsens. I don't know why, but Wavelength has always made my bullshit meter go into overload... I've been wrong before though, and for Mike's sake I hope it is a keeper.
