    Members' Kit pics

    Nice to see all the systems, I really enjoy looking at all the gear and how it is placed. Found this little big treasure over the weekend, thought I would share my excitement. Nad 3080, 90watt at 8 ohms and happy to run at 2 ohms. Perfect match for my Maggie's when I get them up and running.

    I have found new respect for ML, bit of a long story. My Father inlaw has a pair of ML ascents, he has had them for about 6 years but I was never really all that impressed with the sound quality. Amazing build quality but that was it. 6 years down the line I plucked up the courage and told him...

    How high can you hear?

    I lost it at 18khz on my I pad mini. That was fun, the low frequency only kicked in at 108hz. I did a test some time back on my sub and I could pick up from 20hz. Interesting. Going to test this on my wife now as I often get now response from her when I call her.  :)

    Soundlab rebuild thread

    That looks like something you would get from the motor trade to hold door panels and carpeting in place. I would try the spares department at VW something you would find in a city golf holding the boot carpet in place.

    That sounds like good news, almost music to my ears, just a few caps and valves away. So can I get the caps from our local electronics store like yebo?

    Found this link http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/acec_2_sonofil_104.html And the missing valve is 6J7 How do I know if the current valves are working, I presume if I power it up and the valves start glowing that will be a good sign now that I can see past the dust.
