The analog thread.

If the title of this thread had one more L in it, we'd be having very different discussions!

Avid Volvere (black) with Airtight PC-1 Supreme and Avid Sequel SP (silver) with Airtight PC-1 Supreme and back-up Benz LPS. SME V arm and Kubala-Sosna Emotion phono cable on both tables. Going to unload the Sequel SP and move to a better table for stereo and then use the Volvere for mono listening.

Separate tables for mono and stereo. Awesome ? 

[Hopstretch]

Love Avid! My dream table is an Acutus SP.

[MexicanDragon]

Love it, Tom!

After spending the last 3 years with a Traveler V2, I decided I needed a bit more. This arrived today and I just can't seem to wipe the smile off my face. Standard Avenger with periphery ring and upgraded reference 3D arm.  

[Hopstretch]

Nice Aristaeus too!

[Guss2]

Yep, they compliment each other nicely.

I'm sold on mono cartridges. I just sold my Ortofon Quintet mono and I'm going to get something else in the near future.

I have not seen one in person yet but I've seen hundreds of those little Walnut side pieces!

Just a lil' bit of an upgrade there.

Guss2 obviously has full comprehension of the Head Case mindset!

Makes one wonder where Guss1 might have stood on this topic.

Looking good Mikey! Can you dance and slide in front of this setup?

[mikeymad]

It wasn't, until we mounted the t-table on the wall. Now there is dancing.... [emoji229] [emoji227]

What are you powering those B&W 802s with Mikey?

[ironbut]

Lookin' good Mikey!

I'm hoping to get mine back up in a month or so.

Hey Steve's

 

"What are you powering those B&W 802s with Mikey?"

 

From the UK.

 

Exposure Super XVIII solid state amp. Pretty basic, but lots of headroom.

 

The WE300Bs, used in the preamp, makes the amp sing. I was very sad when I was unpacking some tubes, that I broke one of the JAN 6SN7s from the 50s that tied it all together. Need to do some shopping. The substitute tubes are okay, but too noisy.

It's in my top two to replace the Sequel SP with. The Kronos Sparta with the  Helina arm is the other.

So many reasons for awesomeness

[Voltron]

Of course Mikey has the highest proof listening room in Washington State!

[ironbut]

W-O-W!

[Grahame]

I suspected other listening rooms in Washington skew more towards "Herbal/Organic"
