Hi Vince, thanks. Interesting that a namesake of yours, John MacMahon, is taking up the brand in the UK. Been involved with VA since 1999 and sold a few items over time, but now looking at formal representing. You know John at all? London based.

CSNY, Chilly weather + crackling wood fire + Red and THAT Revolving spinner = bliss. Priceless therapy  :2thumbs:

Veels geluk Francois  :thumbs:

Absolutely Superb Rudi, A kit well worth the money and performance, that does not require a university degree to complete ( and this meant as a compliment! ) May you sell many!

Thanks Werner, Yes the very latest Predator is now nearing completion and should be available around September. Looks promising. Louis, found the woodys that went to Anton. Somehow the Whisper photo is not to be found though. Also African Rosewood and gold plated bits. I never really liked...

Hi Ingvar, I'll find it and mail to you if you have a use for it? I know those are scarce by now so best it goes to someone who could need it in time..

1982, I acquired the exact set, Mk iii CM as well as the Mk 1B. At the time I was a repair technician for the company of Hi Fi Installations. It was a trade-in unit which was dead on arrival (iii CM). As Hi Fi Installations at the time were the importers, spare parts were a non issue. Output...

Indeed he got a threesome as well Louis. My computer with the photos got lifted during a burglary around a year ago. I should still have some elsewhere, but need to do some hunting first. Shall post when I do find. Good memory you have!

Thanks Fabian, good to know that I am dead already  ;D  I cannot remember which one you have, but I sure do hope it keeps on serving you well for a very long time still .

Not Oak, freshly machined and partly finished before Woodoc oil applied. Look closely at the grain pattern on both the skeleton and the finished one with gold stuff fitted, exactly the same. Only ONE set ever made, Pre and Power Supply boxes one each. The Good Doctor really has a one off...

Thanks, Not everybody's taste these, but the Good Doctor stopped sending me photos of scalpels once he received them so he probably liked them. I actually really love working in wood and have built 90% of everything remotely wood, including putting up all the wooden beams and knotty pine...

A question was asked regarding the copper profiles inside of the older Black Widow pre amp.  Those are of course the optional rack mount handles conveniently stored out of the way.  :2thumbs:

Aaahh! Johnny Cash, I'll give you this one. Listen to it so often for exactly the same reason, getting old and reflecting. Short but powerful, listen for the cello rumble. With my vd Hul Crimson Black, pure unadulterated magic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Az2Av34jNHs

An old Genesis Pre when I still though bigger was better, but those yellow Musicaps were nice, really nice  :thinking: Then came the Cardas Golden Ratio caps, I still am not sure why they left me less touched (for the money they demanded) And if it's not on top..... It has to be down under...

And not even ancient at that  :pleasant:

Lucky Bugger, Well spotted on ALL counts... Those collectibles  :envy: :drool:

Hello Pax, Do like Crashappy says, send her back to DAD. You'll be surprised at the difference when you get it back, I tweak the heck out of it after having washed (yes washed) and sundried it like a peach or tomato. Chrisc done right by those alarm panels. I simply remove the transformer, some...

And I daresay that given the fact that I have what most probably would call a P O S. A knocked together turntable using bits and bobs of other junked tables, including irrigation pipe fittings as adjustable feet. Not even worth a photo, so worse than a plankie it is. BUT, with a superb van den...

Nope, That Plankie is a 100 year old almost totally deconstructed Teak railway tie or sleeper as us folks call it. The Plankie you ask about is just a lowly piece of 32mm chipboard with some magic sprinkled on it  :2thumbs:
