Hi Lynn.Glad to talk with you 'in person' after going through such "rampage".
Do we need all this?
From your profound audio experience as reflectd in the unique all-transformer topology, I know indeed you are a very discerned music listener. It is not so easy to get to know someone, in this highly commercialized audio industry, who can design & build by his ears.
This is what I call 'total involvement'. What else can be more gratifying to enjoy music through one'w own design & built.
I wish all designers act like you, Lynn - design by the ears.Although my philosophy of design seems diverse 180 degrees from yours - straight line concept - "simple nothing is better than inadequate something", hence OTL-OCL, etc., our mutual goal is the
same - closest approach to the "real thing" - live music.I travel all over the continents, bring with my silver ICs & test CDs with me to audition whatever good rigs available, commercially & private owned. I surely don't mind to share my listening experience with my inmates in AA. Hence my audio encounters with Kondo-sans' "system of the millennium" bearing some USD250,000 price tags, & Tenor+Hyperions OTL-OCL set-up, etc. This is just some worthwhile experience music lovers, like your truly, don't want to miss.
Having gone through all these 'major' auditionings, I am not endorsing any of those commercially avalable systems at all. I set my own course of audio cruising after 'absorbing' what are worthwhile
out there.As I posted to you earlier, I indeed look forward to audition your
brainchilds, so that I can be convinced that 'iron goods' in the audio signal path do not affect sound at all. I am still pretty skeptical about this historic audio components in today's era of hight resolution. From what I have gathered so far, I won't hold my breath on Sakuma-san's iron-loaded amps. I don't know I would like their sound. You should be the best person to tell me: do
Takuma-san's amps deliver vibrant & transparent sound which I like?
Does it justify my trip to Japan this fall, just to audition his amps?I don't buy the idea of good sound always need big bucks. Period.
In fact, I never spent real dollars on my rig. All my equipment, from LP turntable, phono+line amp, power amps & speakers, are all
DIY custom design-built and/or DIY upgraded. I am still a happy
camper today as just said, I keep on my audio cruising to explore & learn what is worthwhile out there, so as to keep updated of my humble, dollarwise dirt-cheap DIY rig to the next higher level.
Like you, Lynn, I design & build by my own ears. 'Experts's endorsement? Not for me. Period.Good listening
cheap-Jack
