Once was an audiophile Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 It's the Sauvignon but tricked up. Maybe should be called the EK Edition? Any naked photo's of it? ps: I dont care about messy wiring
Sierra Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) Here are some of my tubes ... My power amp is a Bob Latino upgrade kit of the classic Dynaco Stereo 70. It features larger output transformers and power transformer, a re-designed driver stage and uses KT88 output tubes. It also has switchable Pentode / Triode mode operation and stepped gain control. My pre amp is from Vacuum Tube Audio in the USA and features 6SN7 tubes. It also has dual output RCA sockets ... one set of outputs via Russian Military Spec Paper in oil Coupling caps ... and the other set of RCA outputs via Mundorf Silver in oil M-Cap coupling caps. It is available as a kit but I opted to have it built instead. Edited March 20, 2013 by Sierra 6

Guest atilsley Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 I'm enjoying one of Earle's 300B Time Machines. Finished in a custom grey, with matching grey metal work. Has a pre-out which I can use to run separate amp for bass duties. Earlier, I had Earle custom build for me a 2A3 class A amp in Push Pull mode (also called a Time Machine). This used x4 2A's to generate around 12 watts RMS. A gutsy amp...with the lovely finesse of the the 2A3 valve.

Phantom Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) This amp is not mine but it might be in the near future. It looks very cool in a form factor sense and sounds wonderful as well. I was only able to have a quick audition as they had just unpacked it and it wasn't warmed up or run in, but I will be checking it out very closely ASAP and since they have 25% off RRP at the moment the decision may be even easier. Anyone here had a good listen to one of these as yet? See link below http://audiotrends.com.au/Luxman_SQ_N100.html?action=viewProduct&itemId=756 Edited April 5, 2013 by Phantom

Briz Vegas Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 I posted this picture in the system thread but thought this thread could do with some more patronage. Not the greatest photo, but at least you can see it. You guys must be poor, many of you can't afford a flash for you camera, or maybe you all took your photos during earth hour.
Nickelle Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 Thats right Briz, we spent our money on decent amplifiers none left for flashing LOL

LFD Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Ed, is it the sauvignon or the corteseonly reason i ask, is i recall my sauvignon only had the 1 rectifier tube on the power supply and only 4 valves on the pre amp oh how i miss it If you could, would you take a Sauvignon over your Moon?
Guest JohnA Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 If you could, would you take a Sauvignon over your Moon? i sold the sauv for the moon i would take a grange though i would also consider a cortese, which is the sauv of course with a phono stage
