OK,
First of all thank you all for support, advice, guidance on all my projects over the past many months. Not the prettiest setup and still a work in progress but what you see is the Tubelab Simple SE(James6123hs Gold Lion reissue KT88), Aikido 5687, and RJM 6DJ8 phono stage along side a vintage Technics SL1300 with an AT15SA cartridge. I tube rolled the 6CG7s and the 6DJ8s and I think it sounds even better. The bass seems to have improved somewhat.
Also not pictured here are a pair of FOnkens with Fostex FE127E (self EnABL'd) courtesy of BudP and Planet10. Also - heresy for this forum - an LM3886 gainclone courtesy of chipamp.com to perform the silicone amp duty...
I must say that I can not be happier with the results of everything I have built thus far. Truly fun and rewarding. I am spinning some Boards of Canada on vinyl right now and it sounds supreme(running the SimpleSE right now)
Next up, I think will be a 41Hz AMP10 class D amp just for ***** and giggles.
Cheers!
Carl

FOnken pics...Note..I did not do the trifoil pattern mainly because I did the modpodge before I fully understood what the sequence was. Still I am VERY happy with the results. We all know it is hard to describe the before EnABL and after EnABL characteristics but suffice it to say there is a difference and it makes an overall better listening experience.
