I have ordered a Skunkie Color Tube Pre-amp for Solid State
Very Excited to be in the queue

Also have Magnepan LRS+ speakers ordered as well

Definitely interested in hearing your thoughts on the Skunkie and Maggie’s. Cool stuff.

I need to buy a hand truck. I’m getting too old for the bear hug and lift method of moving things.

And they’re in. I still need to find the best position for them, and install the outriggers ..:. But I’m tired.



The finish is gorgeous. I love the copper line between the aluminum baffle and the piano black of the main enclosure.

Regardless, the finish is extraordinary

Correct. KEF Reference 3 in the Foundry Edition black/copper/aluminum finish.

I wanted to make sure nothing was broken from shipping, so I just connected them up where I had them and popped on Roon. These things are awesome on initial listen. Sounds just float in distinct spots in space and the bass smokes my old Revel’s.

Those are so black that they look like they're made out of black holes. It looks like you have speaker shaped holes that have been ripped into the fabric of space and time in your livingroom.

I want

Audio GE Teddy Classics have arrived. Mint condition- bomb proof packing by the seller. Absolutely love them. Girlfriend says she knew speakers sounded different from each other, but not like this. This room is pretty bad, but they sound amazing. They also are flat to 33 Hz- no sub needed.

I’ll likely be getting the rack refinished to match.

Step up transformers also arrived. They’ll have to wait for another day. eBay seller had free shipping from Japan. I didn’t expect free overnight. Score!

Well, you got new stuff, so I guess I'll be swinging by when I'm down in your neck of the woods in a few months

 

[AnthonyI]

Come on down!

Who am I kidding? I got the step up transformers in too. $150 well spent.

 

[Jbraswell]

No, Skunkie is custom building it for me
I am smiling ear to ear
I am sure it will be offered as a kit moving forward
Skunkie is doing three prodcuts right now
Tube Amp
Tube Phono Stage
Tube “color” PreAmp for solid state

What tubes are slotted for the pre?

Do these work well for a DAC RCA input signal (R/L)?
The Node is really low gain running into the Perseus pre now.
