Ok, I did find the phonostage. It was sitting in one of the drawers. I do see a rational for me to put in there- to make sure that it would not be shacked during remodeling but, kill me, I do not remember I put it in there. Anyhow, it is back and it ...

It is kind of nice to see that someone have embraced the
idea of “End of Life Phonostage”. A gentlemen from I presume Asia have assembled
the 834PT-AIR and it look like he likes it.http://mellowgroovy.blogspot.com/2015/06/monday-modify-end-of-l...

Here are some commentaries regarding my “End of Life" Phonostage.
The name of this phonostage derives from many factors. I am forty, winch it more or less a half live and in the first half I was playing a lot with different audio toys. The last 10 y...

Thank you for giving this matter your attention. Jorge, I was intending that the AK151 be employed within a horn. Further, once I had settled upon the driver compliment, it was my intention to retain the services of Jeffrey Jackson, since I am not su...

OK, here are some follow up thoughts after the completion of the project. I am sure I will burn it for a month or so. I think everything will be fine, I do not expect any issuers technical or sonic. The way how the entrance to the corrector done it i...

This is an interesting subject. My system certainly follows the 'form follows function' rule but I have wondered how the looks of a speaker (or entire system) effects the listener's perception. Of course we have all experienced some male grunti...
