    Oink Oink!!!

    In with 37! :p

    LOL. :D

    I used to have 2 of these at once. They both just stopped working. One about 6 months after I sold it and mine about 12 months from selling the first one.

    I sent mine in for repair and 3 months later I find out the guy is in jail! His wife brings it and it's brother a 502 back to me. I gave the 504 to another tech. He gives it back a month or two later saying the job is too big for him. He got one channel to work but not the other he said. No extra charge. I haven't tested it to see if he did get a channel to work. It was just a relay I believe for both to be brought back to life.

    Here is your preamp Tony...

    https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649455377-pass-labs-xo2-preamplifier-3-chassis-flagship/

    I saw your post and thought your system has one like that I think and I loved your initial review of their quality of sound.

    The bad thing is I have the money now to purchase that without credit needed and THAT's where I could slip into the rabbit hole real deep real fast. So I have to wait for SS checks to start coming in to judge what I have to play with in the near future.

    But I sure do want that set because of your purchase of one similar and that review...AND the service you just received from Pass Labs. :);)B)

    You will never even have the desire to buy another preamp. An offer of 2900 would be enough to take it home. Sell off some of the extra gear you have laying around and you wont be out of pocket a dime.
    The Gear... Carver "Statement" Mono-blocks, Mcintosh C2300 Arcam AVR20, Oppo UDP-203 4K Blu-ray player, Sony XBR70x850B 4k, Polk Audio Legend L800 with height modules, L400 Center Channel Polk audio AB800 "in-wall" surrounds. Marantz MM7025 stereo amp. Simaudio Moon 680d DSD

    I hear you. ;)

    I'm getting real close to start trying to sell full time again.

    I will try real hard to keep track like I did for years , years ago.
    It will tell me the $ amount coming back in as time goes by!

    I found my old spiral note pad that I used and I can ad to it now. I've missed logging in 2 years of sales though. I've sold a few things to friends and old friends but only about 10 things at the most.

    Darn, but that's ok. B) I see your picture and have an idea or two to duplicate it if I go that route with wood shelving for my CDs. Did you router the edges?

    I'll just have to get out the Kreg instructions if I got them with this big kit from that yard-sale. :)

    If not, I think there'll be a ton of videos online for me to look at. I'm pretty handy with woodworking tools so I'll figure something out easily one day. ;) I just found their website easy enough and this site LOOKS FANTASTIC for teaching newbies on how to use their jigs in so many ways.

    I switched out my window A/C window unit with the fantastic help from my neighbor. This summer and many more should be super cool again out there now.
    I better get something done about space this year!

    When you amass this much, It's easy to sneak new gear in. ;)

    My wife still doesn't recognize the Triton Ones as being new acquisitions since last summer. :)

    Sold my Polk LS90s yesterday and my friend helped me put these Def. Tech. BP30s in their places. This same friend bought 4 other sets of book self speakers. It felt good. I also gave a set of bookies from the back room to another old friend who helped me out a bunch years ago.

    I found another CD rack I forgot I have. Some pretty cool Cds in it too. I played a George Michael Cd from it. Great recordings and voice! I could've turned it up more but what's the point...

    I've been doing outside work the last two weeks. The inside of this space was shifted around to get to the TV stand with the NAD receiver on it and to get to another chair.
