    What IS that? Man, you gotta make it out for one of our meets these days.

    Sweet baby Jesus and the second "coming" of Christ.... all over that table there! :O It sure looks marvelous, but how does it sounds!?

    Very nice upstream-chain too w/ Yggdrasil+Saga.
    And, lucky you... that PreAmp is getting an Octal LISST "Tube" very soon, so "NOTHING" will stand in your way while Tube Rolling! ;)

    It's a single ended pentode->triode two stage design with a tube rectifier and CLCLC filter. I slowly collected the parts over the past year and a half.

    @thegunner100 This is a beast to carry, but maybe we can have a micro meet at my place at some point. @A1Gear Sounds is still opening up (transformers are brand new and uses Teflon coupling caps). It's a lot of plankton!

    Sounds like a plan. The M-22 is a PITA to carry as well, but I'd bring that over if it happens.

    Would love to drop by and hear this. My record collection is probably the best thing I can contribute to a meet, should a TT be around.

    @Cspirou @WNovizar This was supposed to be my big from scratch DIY project, but work has been extremely hectic with no sign of relief, so an acquiantance who is much more capable, built it for me. We started from the schematic I had (my father in law had drawn the first version, but I'm not otherwise sure of its origin) and updated it to account for the PT (mainly filament supply changes).

    The top plate is from Front Panel Express. Roughly ~250

    @Vansen yes there's a Marantz TT-15S1 and a Dynaco phono preamp that I refurbished. The phono preamp connects to the Saga

    It's beautiful. I'm in too if there's room. How much power is it putting out?

    @sphinxvc Thanks you! Yes, we'll plan something soon. It's designed to put out ~8W. Speakers (claim) 99dB 1W/1m so should be enough.
