Not even one?Not funny. 300 pairs of socks, 100 bras???????? And I haven't one preamp.
My wife sez she doesn’t have 300 bra’s. Looks like I lost this argument

My wife sez my pair has too much gain allreadythere is a sayin' ..... grow a pair ....
of preamps, I mean

According to my "relationship math" 300 socks and 100 bras = 3 full systems, speakers and all 😉
Just two?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!
Inconceivable.

We use TVC so we haven't needed a preamp per say. problem is there's only one input. We do have 8 amps, 5 phono stages, 3 turntables and 13 motorcycles.there is a sayin' ..... grow a pair ....

What can I say. The math was good @ three preamps and one poweramp and 250 bras. Sold one pre to Germany, built an F2J instead. So total ampcount (pre+power) now @ 4 again. More will be built in secrecyAccording to my "relationship math" 300 socks and 100 bras = 3 full systems, speakers and all 😉

Just a thought: this is all about WAF and wife-life/husband-life balance. So if we increase the amount of bras/boxers, I could increase the amount of amps too! Voila.
I’ll put in an order for more underwear. In fact, the store should stock up to! They could use algorithms so that when you order something, a proportional amount of underwear (men and women of course!) follows the order.

Also cant forget that the order of project operations goes like this: high waf, rejoice, low waf, grovel. Repeat. Grovel accomodates reasonable substitutions/bribery.
Its like PEMDAS, only slightly more emotionally fraught and a smidge more expensive.

I almost got thrown out of the house one night I tried to surprise my wife with a pair of Martin Logans. Took a long time to remedy thatAlso cant forget that the order of project operations goes like this: high waf, rejoice, low waf, grovel. Repeat. Grovel accomodates reasonable substitutions/bribery.

Pumps are not the same as Wedges…which are not the same as slingbacks…which are not the same as Peep Toes…which are not the same as…etc
It only follows that a Tube Pre is not the same as a Solid State Pre…which is not the same as a Buffer Pre…which is not the same as a TVC Pre…which is not the same as Balanced Pre…which is what I will be ordering so I can try running my BJ2 and/or a future Aleph or other amps in balanced mode

I would defintiely be in BIG trouble trying that too...but thankfully mine is now used to "monkey coffins" in the living room. So that counts for something.I almost got thrown out of the house one night I tried to surprise my wife with a pair of Martin Logans. Took a long time to remedy that![]()
I used to live less than one mile away from the ML headquarters/manufacturing facility ( long ago ). Had a friend who worked in the cabinet shop.
We lit a campfire once with scraps from their dumpster. Well finished wood lights easily.

Should I go and show you my wifes walk in? Better yet how about her chest-o-drawers.
13 is unlucky, immediately go out and buy another, whew!We use TVC so we haven't needed a preamp per say. problem is there's only one input. We do have 8 amps, 5 phono stages, 3 turntables and 13 motorcycles.
