A few more. One of the latest bookshelf kits by CSS, still in development. 2-way with a passive radiator on the rear. Nice compact box, with big sound!

Lots of tubes this year. Fantastic creations, and fantastic sound.

1. Plenty of power (with a modest voltage rating)
2. nice pre-amp/headphone amp
3. fine little headphone system by one of our senior members. Tube amp kit from Bottlehead, Buffalo DAC, and music server. Just goes to show you, it's never to late to start, boys and girls! 😀

The fun factor presented itself this year in this form.
These things always make me smile -- unconventional, but good sound.
Some clever thinking went into these. 😎

Here's a picture of the gear in the Main Room:

On the far side is Rene's amplifier with 4 211 Triods with an output of around 50 wpc. The sign on the amp is incorrect, it's actually 1200 volts and it normally drives a pair of Magnapans.

In the middle is a Pre-amp/headphone amp that was recently finished and broken in. Seems to sound nice and is "very" quiet. I'll be listening to it as both a pre-amp and a Headphone Amp.

Both the amp and the pre-amp had separate Power Supplies mounted on a second Chassis (located under the table)

Closest is Rene's Oppo 105 deck.

This gear was used to drive most of the speakers during the day and sounded pretty nice.

Best Regards,
TerryO
