Hi

I was here ages ago and discussed all things Young DAC. I've just registered to see what's going on. Had quite a few system changes since last here.

System is now as follows: Amp and speaker upgrades next on the agenda 

Kronos Sparta / Helena / Transfiguration Phoenix
Trichord Diablo / NCPSU
Yamaha A-S3000
Naim NDX2 / XPSDR
Revox B77 mk2
Usher Dancer Mini 2

Best wishes

    Hi Adrian
    Good to see you here.
    I'm Dave. I guess I'm responsible for Chews - with much-needed help from @Docfoster.
    I've always hankered after a Revox. Do you use it much?

    Run whilst you can Adrian  :)

    Before you escape, what about your Usher speakers?
    I've only ever heard little ones. And always liked them.

    Ok, Dave's taking the Revox.
    Ben's swiping the Ushers.
    Colin's grabbing the Diablo, 'cause it's small to run with.
    That leaves me the Yammy to match my bike.
    :D

    Not so bad Adrian, you got out alive with both sources!!!!

    Hi. The Revox doesn't get used that much. Just make the odd mix tape.
    The Ushers are truly remarkable. I've had them about 10 years. Upgraded the internal cables about 5 years ago and will struggle to find a reason to move on. 
    I am hankering for some nice JBL's but struggle to find a dealer near to me to try.

    You don't need to use the Revox. It's a nice thing to have around, I imagine.

    Paul Usher is a good friend to me and he is about to start a new speaker company, I can't wait to hear them.

    Interesting to read you rewired. I sometimes stick my head in the sand on that one!
    In most of my DIY work I do try to use good bog-standard OFC cable, but in my my current work on the sealed cabs for the Tannoy 295A drivers I used some 4-core mains cable I had in the shed.  :#

    Well if they are wired for 240v you won't need to worry yourself about DC offset!
    :D
