Thank you Lloyd?Congrats! That is huge news. Very very exciting. Now looking at your post, you probably need to find a way to ensure there are no animals, liquids or 'anything' near them from the moment they arrive! Enjoy.
Yikes. Is there no way to just put the Boulder in a proper cabinet with fans in the back or sides to ensure it remains cool?Thank you Lloyd?
I have to admit, the part in the Analogue Domain audition where Angel Despotov pours a glass of water over his power amplifiers really speaks to me!
My plan...if you can't beat them...
I'm getting my auto engineer to build me a frame that can go over the amp, stretching some waterproof material a couple of inches above it, on which I'll add a wee cushion. Then the little buggers can sit safely atop the frame in the warmth, but any liquids ejected will be caught snd prevented from running down into my amp.
I'm thinking to add a wee clip-on fan to circulate the air and prevent overheating
I love looking at it?the softened brutalism of the form is unique amongst the organic shapes elsewhere in my room. It shouts 'authority', much like your Robert Koda monoblocks doYikes.

I cannot lie, i would love to have a home big enough for a dedicated, cat-free listening room.Ahem... What happened to the cats?
and in the same spirit i have just ordered my second German Shepherd dog ...... pets do have an amazing effect on usI cannot lie, i would love to have a home big enough for a dedicated, cat-free listening room.
But to create my current space i knocked together a bunch of rooms, corridors and a hallway, making a single decent-sized living room.
So we all have to share the same space.
But i sense the thrust of your question was have i reconsidered my cat appreciation?
Not really.
Ok, just maybe a little. But it wouldn't feel like home without them.
The calm emanating from a purring cat on my lap centres me.
I can't really imagine being without them.
If you find that your 2160 does not after all find favour with your moggies, I would be very happy to offer it a new home, free of charge. I have the ideal place where it would be comfortable. It would not lack for anything by way of creature comforts and it would have its own dedicated power supply. The three cats living next door often pop round to listen to our 1160-based system playing Herbie Hancock, Coltrane and Davis at realistic volume levels. But they know to stay within their dedicated listening baskets......is currently being built.

Gavin, there are legion of stories like "I ran my Ferrari off the road when I saw Gillian Anderson wave and smile sexily at me". I'm gonna have to put "My cat puked on my expensive amp and shorted it" into this category.
Good luck w the animal wrangling this time around.

Ok thx! Have a good holiday!Not here yet.
I'm beside myself with anticipation.
Rest assured, I'll be posting as soon as it arrives!
Thank you sir!Ok thx! Have a good holiday!
My brother said I should get a cat. I like other people's cats. I shudder at the thought of that happening to the mighty 3060.At which point there was a feline intervention. While i did everything to discourage my cats, sitting atop the warm amplifier was their happy place. On this occasion i had left my system warming up while i took my dogs for a wiggle, returning an hour or so later to a strange smell, a fried power amp and a destroyed field coil driver.
Yup, one of my cats had puked while sat atop the Boulder, shorting the amp and blowing the bass driver. I was as devastated as my system.
ThxThank you sir!
Best wishes to you
Loving your system btw?
The Esoteric K1xd has a fantastic reputation. I cant decide if im aiming for that (new,) or the Grandioso dac (second hand)
Do you use the Stromtank just on your source components?
Previously I've found any sort of power conditioning detrimental with my previous 2060, but I'd love to try running my pre amp and sources on battery power.
Plus it (stromtank) looks the mutt's nuts?
