Why this keeps happening? My Viborg power cord just settled in on my HYPSOS PSU, My Voodoo Black Magic power cord also just arrived, so is my new giggle only fuse, and my Iconoclast 4x4 XLR is arriving tomrrow! I blame this forum! ![IMG_5961](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/psaudio/original/3X/2/4/241d3d8104517a9b2e7dde627630a3e31b1b6676.jpeg) ![IMG_5962](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/psaudio/original/3X/8/2/823485a45bd740dc5cea4e32783c1318f744d7ff.jpeg) ![IMG_5963](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/psaudio/original/3X/d/c/dc7f1dd9cac17c807ea95c939cb494fc82de0969.jpeg) ---

Those will look amazing next to your pickleball trophies! I checked out that link. The nearly 14" tall stands are only $60. I may buy three of them. (and wait for my Pickleball Trophies) ---

We put up what I thought were long filament lights last year. Turns out they are LED. You wouldnā€™t know the difference. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/psaudio/original/3X/6/8/682d4ed951157c7074ffd84b44408c745caa7743.jpeg) ---

Yes some LED ā€œfilamentā€ lamps are pretty good now šŸ™‚ First few I bought round ten years ago not so much - very flickery and with blue bits along the filament. ---

If I owned the Ethos it would probably be the next step. I also was checking out the Pass XA-160.8ā€™s at TMR. All potential BHK 300 replacements. Tho I still love my 300ā€™s! ---

Itā€™s price has held very well. It was $4600 in 2010. Itā€™s very cool.

I have an SME Type II Improved arm I could throw on that beauty. Or perhaps a different arm. I was going to buy one of these but I bought the Rega RP10 instead. I still admire it. ---

Lucky you having a SME tonearm waiting for a turntable. SME stopped selling tonearms to third parties trying to boost their turntable sales. What an absolute pity for the market. At around the same time Jelco stopped making tonearms, meaning the rebranded types from Ortofon and Transrotor werenā€™t available either. Rega, Clearaudio and to a small extend Thorens have taken their places over here. ---

Went through this process myself. I took this photo of a switch before installing a Shelly to make sure I didnā€™t mess up the wiring, and then got my leccy to check it. The black one on the left is a standard dimmer for the LED lights pictured above and does not buzz at all. Itā€™s the only dimmer in the house. ![3954](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/psaudio/original/3X/f/6/f6b8a16f7a4578d038f7654799643187653e52e6.jpeg) You can also do dimming using one of these, a Shelly 2 Dimmer, and it also gives you wireless and Alexa control. ![Screenshot 2023-03-15 at 10.01.23](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/psaudio/original/3X/f/f/ff3561244d079d9403cb93211638d2a5ce9137bf.png) I attached a Shelly 1L (costs about $20) to the white toggle switch. It is programmed to control 4 sound and light zones, it has 22 lights and 10 audio units running through it, each one with a 24v transformer in the ceiling, not problem at all. They are very clever little things for smart lighting. ![IMG_2071](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/psaudio/original/3X/1/1/1136c86ef8535dddf292d0e8b85e1c2593712929.png) [Previous page](https://forum.psaudio.com/t/your-next-upgrade-part-1/19682.md?page=420) [Next page](https://forum.psaudio.com/t/your-next-upgrade-part-1/19682.md?page=422)
