The circuit Q1 is taking the signal from the drain and not the source, so the signal is inverted. -
Makes sense, thanks!

Did a little customizing. The base holds a fan.

I gotta admit, I have seen a lot of unique amps in my time but this one? This one may take the top spot.

Got my TeCu binding post prototypes done...
Think I should coat entire plug with dielectric grease, or just add it to the banana plug port?

Very nice, Todd. If you don't mind me asking, what type/brand of rack is that?

Thank you sir. I am having to look at rack options for the new room. There is no way I can utilize my current rack.

I had Legacy Focus SEs. Sold them about 8 months ago. Skip let me borrow his Volterras for the last 2 months. The ones you see in the picture are mine with Dark Grey Sand finish. They look and sound great. Need a couple hundred hours on them.

We've moved into our/my 'final resting place'. I've got the new room pretty close to where I want it and quite happy with the sound I'm getting. I sold my 2.3TL's as I knew they wouldn't work in the room and picked up a Cary Audio SLI-80HS Integrated, along with some new Revival Audio Atalante 5 Speakers to celebrate my 70th.
A big relief to achieve good sound in the new room It's not as large as my last, but I've got room for everything. I still have the 3.1TL's and the CRS+'s in back reserve atm, but will always be in rotation.

I replaced the dry rotted vacuum tubing on my old Discwasher DiscKeeper LP rack. One for sale ad called them 'rubber compression bars.' I keep demo albums in this. IIRC Discwasher ceased in mid 80's.

I just made an impulse buy. I picked a Revelation Audio Labs Precept CryoSilver Reference power cable, on the used market . Any thoughts? Am I dipping my toes in big boy territory?See my profile for list of gear.
