Re: Owston 2019 - Listening Impressions

When I look at OB's, I lean toward passives, for what seems to me the easier to achieve option. Thomas's OB's fell into that criteria, and I listened to them, and was hearing appealing sounds, that prompted me to request a track be played from my CD's. So those OB's have stuck n my mind, and could q...

Re: Owston 2019 - Listening Impressions

I would happily put two of my Eminence Beta 15's in a Baffle to be used with the 57's at the next Owston. It would be nice if any electronic requirements were catered for by somebody with a interest in this, as I'm lost on the most simple of ideas. If Steve can post the Next Date, as I think it migh...

Firstly one for Steve, Thank you for putting in the foot work to put on a Day offering this Experience.

Re: Owston '19 what are you bringing

I can bring the Mr Nixie DIGNA Phonostage and Hashimoto H-3.
The DIGNA I would think, is a not so common design.
It works quite well with the PTP Set up.
Apart from the 845's that's all my Crown Jewels out on parade.

Re: Owston '19 what are you bringing

I will check the NSC tonight, I think the power from NSC to TT, is IEC - IEC.
I will squeeze the 57's in and bring the Valve DAC along as well.

Re: Owston '19 what are you bringing

I am happy to bring along the PTP Solid 9 and NSC, if 'Nick' would like to compare the latest Speed Controller he has produced. Otherwise it will be the overhauled SP10 with rebuilt Tonearm and Rebuilt K'b. Let me know the what one suits. I could maybe get the 57's on board used at Kegworth, if some...

Re: OH YES

Audio Note have learnt from the best, Frank Knight Real Estate.
Why they can sell a broom cupboard in Mayfair for a few million.
Look at all that Audio Note Real Estate in that Amp.

Re: New 18" speakers.

Hi Phil,
You had a run across the country to pick these bad boys up.
If I did a overnighter on the Huddersfield Day, I was going to detour to have a look at these on the journey home Sunday.
I hope they are a worthwhile aquisition.

Re: Wanted Matched Pair PCC189 Tubes

If you Google HiFi Und Lebensart Mr Nixie DIGNA.
Use Google Translate , the forum pages from 56 - 60, will give the reasoning and show a few Oscilloscope readings, that relate to the use of these valves.

Wanted Matched Pair PCC189 Tubes

Have a new schematic supplied by my Phonostages Designer.
It will allow for the use of 2 X PCC189 Tubes.
If there is a matched pair available to offer, I will consider them.
