Hi,

I read the review of your kit in HFC, it did very well as I recall.

Yes, David Vivian did a feature in beautifull Systems, ours was around £ 11K or so overall.

He had the Hyperion Sound HPS-938 Speakers (sorta Watt/Puppy style, quite nice for a convenional speaker at £ 3.5K), a pair of my "extreme" 3D Sonics modified Shanling monoblocks, a Music First Audio Passive Magnetic Preamp and a standard 3D Acoustics (though he described it inaccuratly as 3 Sonics) by Shanling SACD player.

Alltogether quite a nice setup considering cost, if I'm allowed to say so.... ;-)

They are prototypes of the 3D Acoustics Transparence, a nice picture of the production units here:

At the moment very few Dealers have them. If you are in Londra, drop by I'm in Edmonton.

At this stage - no. I am slowly working on a LCR equalised valve phonostage that will be (if) released under the Music First Audio Brand, to complement the passive preamp and the MC Stepup.

Hi,

I have owned a Border Patrol amp since the late 90s. First a prototype, then a full production version. It is a nice looker and even better sounding.

Fen Dancer - that message has 'duplication not permitted' written across the bottom.

It may cause the forum problems to have it posted here. If its not yours could you delete?
 
Don't let a massive lawsuit get in the way of a good joke, Bottleneck ;)

Love that Supratek Amp on the right btw.

No de Paravinci yet?
 
Hi,

those valves come with little 'chef hats'

They are called Top-Caps. These are standard for anode connections on many transmitter valves. In this case, just pull them off and stick your pinkey in there, switch on and you have a cool 950V at >300mA flowing. Quite dangerous, definitly not amp's for those with small children....
