What's the most recent piece of audio equipment you have purchased and when?

[PeterA]

Yup, if it works for your CDP, it will work for the Yggy too.



Yes, I like the Yggy. At this point I'll refrain from further comments until Ian (Madfloyd) has heard it, which should happen soon, hopefully within less than a week.

I have heard Al's Yggy and Berkeley in a direct comparison. I'm hoping to post my impressions when Al starts a thread about his Yggy.

Yes, and Tasos heard the comparison too. I hope that we can post a synopsis of all our impressions on one thread when the time comes.

TA Opus MM2 IC cables for all electronics..about 50-60 hours of playtime so far. That puts us fully in Opus MM2 from source to amps and TA Opus Gen 5 to speakers. So far, working very nicely.

In the last 12 months
A small fortune (my GF thinks it's a large fortune LOL) on creating a whole new 18x38 listening room
Dedicated power feed to room w bespoke consumer unit
Modded Westwick 8kVA balanced power transformer
100m Oyaides made into 6 dedicated lines
6 Furutech duplexes
Mods to Soundsmith Straingauge energiser and bespoke psu to energiser
Electro Harmonix tubes to NAT Utopia preamp
Replacement GE 1948 NOS 211s to NAT SE2SE monos
Two Sablon Reservas Elites PCs to preamp and cdp
Stacore Advanced passive isolation platform to tt
Stacore Basic Plus to balanced transformer
Modded Barco 1309 CRT PJ and install
And that's a wrap for 2017, I'm plum out of funds

Kii3's and a Kii Control (for a room where the only placement option was deeply into the corners)

I recently scored 8 NOS Winged-C EL34s, 4 new Gold Lion KT77s, some Soviet metal-base 6SL7 equivalents and Sylvania 6SL7WGTs. All excellent tubes, the KT77s rival any vintage EL34s as well. The Soviet metal base 6SN7 and 6SL7 are also really good.

Recent changes for me are a Denali 6000T and a Grand Prix Audio Silverstone Rack and Monaco amp stands.

The preamp hunt continues.....

Don't you have an all tenor system including photo for that to go with?

 

[awsmone]

I bought Goldmund 29m s and made van der hul interconnects

 

[harleyguy]

[Al M.]

Today arrived:

Herbie's Tenderfoot isolation feet under my DAC (also bought for transport but not yet installed):

http://herbiesaudiolab.net/compfeet.htm

In line with my recent 'el cheapo' approach to audio.

But apparently these feet seem good enough to be the stock footers under $ 50K preamps, see link.

Oh! THat will be a fun thread...people will be telling Al to hook it up to a $42K transport for best sound...LOL...

Haven't you heard? Al is on a major upgrade phase. His final change will be ditching his old transport and going computer/file/USB/streamer/iPad/Roon, etc. etc. Sorry, couldn't resist a moment of levity on the Friday before a long Summer weekend. Back to regular programming. Happy 4th everyone.

Indeed. I was just pretending. Baetis server here you come.

I thought he's ditching digital for analog

Funniest thing I've read all day. I did play Hindemith's Sonata for Solo Cello on LP last night, and I know Al would love this recording. Alas, I think it is only available on vinyl.

I am currently at home waiting for a Shunyata Denali 2000 to be delivered. This will be my second, and they will replace the Cyclops currently being used for the amps. I also ordered Magico SPODs for the MKII S5 speakers, but not sure when they will arrive.
