 Yes, JK, thank you. In spite of trying to save money at every turn, it is an expensive hobby. I actually have two systems in one, using three Class D Audio amps I built (from kits), the one for the mains uses a larger power supply, and two amp modules, putting out 500Wpc @ 8ohms. I use this setup for all home theater, and most of my daily listening.

When in the mood, I switch to a tube line stage (kit-built), a tube SET 300B amp, my Garrard 401 'table, and tube phono stage. The SET amp has been modified (caps and resistors), and uses some pricey EML XLS 300B tubes that were worth every penny. At only 8Wpc, the SET, driving my Tannoys, make for some very special listening, which I enjoy very much.

I was very late jumping into computers, I had resolved to never get one, but, as time wore on, the mushroom syndrome became unbearable, my hobbies suffered from lack of access to information. I now have a love-hate relationship with them, though I'm disadvantaged due to my late start with them.

I'll close for now, you're probably bored to tears, but I'll leave with a parting shot of my beloved Tannoys, SET amp, etc.

Best regards,
Dan
