It's a pretty decent tweeter. Danny's also good at hitting very flat FR, maybe beyond what even needs to be.
Big and spacious with loads of low end - the room shape if different and also helps.
5 pairs of output devices running at c. 110 mA/pair gives me a bit of class A
Wife will go away for a week. I will rearrange the living room in her absence and have 7 days of musical heaven.
To hell with the ******* neighbors.

In my system you guys know what the phono preamp is.
Mattresses! Reminds me of my 20 something life being in bands trying in vain to soundproof a garage. Police still came eventually.

I match your phono and raise you a discrete MC stage and some clicks.
(think I'll save the story of two mistresses and one mattress for a rainy day, not exactly sound proof of my mental capacity)
What I don't quite understand is that some appear to have just the single set of gear, without any means of direct comparison. Do they have flashbacks of what it sounded like a month ago ?

I have a mattress in the living room, but not on the wall. It's on the daybed. Which was a fine upgrade and has enhanced listening pleasure no end 😉
The same relay model in a 1986 catalogue, German currency ex. 16 percent sales tax. In NL, retail was 50 percent higher.
Inflation corrected to '16, $20-$25 for a single item buy. There's progress for ya !
(my idea of a mattress is an outdoor lounge bed, with Nacsound loudspeakers. My tropical wet dream is to steal a few of Jan's missile cones and build me a pair of Gazonga hanging omnidirectionals)

I used to pile "Bold as Love" and "Wheels of Fire" on the changer and fall asleep to these...

Could likely have unpeeled cloves of garlic (or even peanuts) in a jar on top of one of those.
The reciprocal is true too, I am sure.
Bill, you are running mid-fi, you are not in the game.
Dan.
I still have two missile cones left, in original Army Green.
Make me an offer! 😎

Of course I am. But the fringe benefits outweigh any ridicule my DIY efforts might garner. Anyway i'm playing a completely different game and winning.
50 Bucks ! (by using a standard rate, people can't tell that my mind is slipping)
If I may gather the tea leaves, methinks he's suggesting (and in my total agreement) that the enjoyment factor of one's system* supercedes one's "status" wrt hi-fi, mid-fi, being in the game, etc. If the neighbor down the street with his $15 ghetto blaster enjoys his rig, who am I to object?
That's why we do this stuff, right?
*(holistic, both in the joy of ownership/construction and its ability to deliver sound to one's ears)
I think back fondly of Irma, the woman who changed my life at the laundromat. I had her do my laundry, something I despise doing. But she liked to listen to the radio, and the unit she had going was distorting so outrageously that I speculated that the speaker surround was blown. I asked her about the level and the distortion, and she said she liked it that way. I have since learned that it is not an unusual taste in audio, particularly among some Hispanics.
😕
You want it delivered? I can attach the old rocket motor and set flight time to Rotterdam. Sort of V1 apres la lettre
