Thanks Kamran. After the new year I plan to build a new and improved version to house all the extra tubes I've accumulated and some room for expansion.
I've been tickled pink with the new CSP2+. About a week ago, something just wasn't right. I was getting a crazy distortion on low notes. With the idea that Decware items really show weaknesses I did a deep dive on the turntable setup again. I suspected something with my stylus wasn't right, turned out one of my DIY RCA cables had a loose solder connection. This must have happened while I was setting things up and moving things around. Took less time to fix than the warming up the gun. It's been singing nicely since. I'm getting a grasp on all the new to me knobs, next will be rolling tubes.
Few nights ago I put this on
This was among four boxes of records my Aunt gave me. I'm not a big classical guy, but Mehta is a familiar name. I've been on a casual hunt to find his take on The Planets for a few years. Anyhow, my past experience with classical is the albums i have mostly sound like crap. This particular record looked unplayed so I spun it. WOW. Smooth, detailed, no instruments tripping over other instruments, big, full and very enjoyable.
