Your Next Upgrade? (Part 1)

for what it’s worth, the system pictured above isn’t the one that I’m envisioning the KLH/parasound swap.

It’s in my dungeon downstairs.

I don’t have bunnies in the house but there are a bunch of wild rabbits that hang out in my backyard. They let me walk within about 5 feet as long as I am talking to them.

My wife’s. She loves this bunny more than me. He’s not anywhere close to my system.

Ha! I had a couple of rabbits growing up…and of course it’s Al’s power animal.

I bought a new phono preamp today. One of those old Sutherland ph3d battery powered dudes. Outside of flashlights and remotes, it’s been a while since there has been a need for batteries around here. The black is supposed to be chilling, and that’s what I need to hear. 16 D batteries that should last for over 1200 hours…or the life of a cart. I wanted to try the PhD, but decided to start at the bottom with alkaline battery driven blackness.

In one of my rigs I have a Musical Surroundings Nova II which is battery powered. You are in for a real treat.

I have two lops, a bonded pair. Bonded rabbits have little use for human affection. But they are so sweet to watch over.

Thanks Paul! This hangout is fun but it does get costly from time to time :grin:

I’m thinking really hard about upgrading my P5 to a P20. I even ran it by the CFO. She didn’t say STFU or GTFO or any other initialism with a big F in it. She just gave me that look that says, “You’re crazy but I love you so go ahead and get it”. At least that’s how I interpreted it…
I’m going to open one of the good cabs and approach the discussion again later this evening.

For context, I’ve been running my Dutch&Dutch 8cs with the P5 for over two years. I think they deserve better. They do sound darn good though as they are.

LOL. Don’t forget the flowers and candlelight. Best of luck! :slight_smile:

and chocolate. She loves chocolate with Cabernet Sauvignon.

Wow! I’m jealous. I’m sure I’d get the NFW or GTFO!

Strangely, I like that combination too. But the chocolate needs to be very good quality, not necessary the Cab.

I got the from a forum member @terryakhan on the PSA Marketplace. My third set from him. I believe the original source is Parts Connexion. I’m still using the first set in my BHK Pre now I have another set of spares!
