Hello Soundhappy,


those are some nice 'christmastrees' made of aluminum.....😉
You have been on the 'good' - list! 😀
You wanna build a Super - MoFo?


Have a good week!
Dirk

Santa was very generous :Present::Present:
Plenty of heatsinks, 300VA toroids, boxes with full of transistors
and vintage amplifier with balanced inputs who need some refreshing.
Big Aavid Thermalloy is for Tokin SIT & IXYS push-pull mono blocks,
half size 4pcs. for flea watts Germanium amp etc....or YES Super-Mofo ?
Let's see what happen in the next new year 🙂 less 3 hours in France

I had a very jfet Christmas - also some lamb biryani....
It was also a working Christmas, as my radio show is on Friday nights.
It was a kind of lonely vigil with all the COVID nonsense going on...

I thought I should share the Headphone Scope 1700XL Signature Edition made with only the finest (toybox and parts bin...) components. Worked beautifully while doing final donut rotation on an F2J rebuild. Wait, I put bananas on it - so it is now the platinum reference signature edition!

I think this video gives some nice advices how to place speakers in a specific room:
A Master Class in speaker placement - YouTube

With all the nice amps we build it would be a shame not to try to optimize speaker placement. I have experimented from time to time and it means a lot how speakers are placed and I think the video "nails it" with many good advices. I know it is a "brand specific" video but I think the advices can be used "across" brands......
