YES. Never heard of it until earlier this year.

@loadexfa it's best to listen to it drunk or high.

I’ve been there, I took it on a journey. :D

The important question is... was it an underhand or overhand toss?

Sounds like someone never learned how to hit the cut-off man...

They seem to have gone downhill a lot starting in 2020.

The album that one cannot sit on a park bench without remembering.

For a second I only saw "Aqualung" and was about to go to the watch thread.

Not buying them has become a kind of spiritual practice for me.

30 units at $2999 each. that’s some serious cash flow right there.

I will pray for your soul lost in the pixels and code

Haha, the good news is that knowing the issue makes it much easier to fix. :)

Could you link to the modder? can't find the site

RD is @rhythmdevils . He also mods the Adorama version which is easier to find than the one I have but there are minor differences.

I'm curious how did it fail, start-up or while running? Linlai's are former Psvane employees so I'd expect the same or better with the E permalloy series.

I think I jumped to an incorrect conclusion. At some point after being on for an hour or so, the left channel made some really loud popping noises and then turned to static. Turning the amp off and on again corrected the issue (and I used that chance to change the 2a3 tubes) but it happened again.

Changed the input and rectifier tubes and then it did not happen. Will test a few more times to try and narrow the issue to a specific tube or the amp.

I get that it serves as useful purpose. Usually I’m annoyed that it takes me 10 to 100 times longer to find the change I need to make that I could do in 2 minutes editing a source file.

This case was even more special, the admin was broken and images were pointing to a different domain that was recently taken down. Wanted to strangle the previous person. Ended up fixing the php code myself. I never doubted I could fix it but damn the time wasted …

Go back to the old admin U.I. and tag and date with the exactness of a 150 MPH ace by Andy Roddick. Smooth out the workflow...

The phone number isn't as big a deal as some of you think. He's an MOT and this is his publicly listed number for his business

I'd really like to hear this amp someday.

Yeah, what Cspirou said. When I warned Barry about this on the forums he mentioned that.

Yeah, I saw your post and found it very informative and appropriately scary. Unfortunately I read it after I fiddled around for a while and probably messed up a cart or two. I will resume the pursuit of good vinyl sound when I have a bit more time, patience, and money for another cart (think I damaged a couple).
