Black paint.
I know it's black paint.
The thread title's a clue, innit?!

Living with the AV10
The Marantz has been in my rack for just under a week so far. For 2ch, the top of the chain is an Emotiva ERC-3 CDP, Mogami AES cable to a Denafrips Venus 15th DAC, then AQ Yukon XLR's to the analogue path of the AV10.
2ch has gotten a phenomenal upgrade since the DAC but now with the arrival of the Marantz, it has gotten another shot in the arm.
Using pure direct mode of the AV10, how can I relate this......there is more space around the tiny details in the music, if that makes sense.
The 8802A did a great job before but the new processor brings out even more separation in the music.

Re: What Are You Listening To? (Part Deux)
Umbra was founded in 1969 and continued to solidify into 1970. Steve describes Umbra as “a progressive, psychedelic, jam group”. I had the privilege of listening to the band’s “garage” recordings from that period and have to say this was a very diverse and talented ensemble. Steve recalled that the tracks were put down on a 4 track and a 2 track recorder and recorded at a band member’s home.
Most of the band members were from local Denver area high schools with the exception of Nick Melliadis who came from New York. Steve attended South High School which wasn’t a good fit for him back then. “I didn’t care much for high school so I dropped out to pursue my music.” It was a decision that worked very well for Steve. He did achieve his GED, but more importantly acquired a rich and deep education in music with his adventures from Umbra up to the present day.
The name “Umbra” was selected by the band while perusing the dictionary – an exercise common with bands back then (and maybe even now). “Umbra translates to “shadow on moon”, stated Steve. “We wanted a name that was short, mysterious, easy to remember, and sounded cool.”

Re: SRT restoration project
Had a conversation last night that may turn out as a blessing. I ran across a surround ring that was really close in dimensions but doesn't cover the face of the driver the like the originals do. I got into a conversation with seller and it turns out he works for the mfg company and mentioned he could reproduce the rings exactly as originals if I would send him a good driver to work with. Keeping my fingers crossed for now..
