I thoroughly enjoy my Focal Elegia and have had my eyes on the Focal Clear MG for a while, but never pulled the trigger. Recently found a pair of open box Clear MG on Listenup.com warehouse deals for $800 and couldn't resist. When I reached out to them, they said they were returns in like new...

Vakula ‎– You've Never Been To Konotop (Selected Works 2009​-​2012) I have streamed this album a number of times and have been lusting after the out of print vinyl edition for a while. Found a US seller on discogs with NM copy and broke down and forked out the money to buy it. Triple 180g LP in...

Recondite's 2nd album - Hinterland, was one of my favorite releases of 2013. Iffy has a little different feel- less dark, but still one freaking sweet techno albulm!

I have many female vocalists that I enjoy, but my favorite is definitely Sarah Vaughan.

Aphex Twin - Syro My local record shop had an advance listening party for the album today and had a few copies available for sale 2 days before the official release, so I couldn't resist. 3LP, 140 gram, triple gatefold sleeve. First Apex Twin in 7 years, but well worth the wait! :D:D

I saw that Lussuria album at the record store today and was tempted to buy it on Vinyl. I enjoy a lot of the music that is put out by the Hospital Productions label and may end up getting it eventually. Instead I only bought the one LP that I had them order for me, which I am listening to now...

HHY & The Macumbas ‎– Throat Permission Cut

Thanks! Yea they do sound really nice driving speakers coming from a small little amp. I was surprised how well it drives my Monitor Audio speakers as they are larger than my old mission bookshelves. They are still fairly efficient though which helps. Yea the case is a pain get on and off though.

Here is the my updated setup. My SHR- 940 ' s finally fell completely apart last weekend. I picked up a pair of used Monitor Audio speakers that are in really good shape though yesterday so I'm happy. [/IMG]

  Akkord- self titled album   Probably my favorite release so far in 2014    Album description off their labels website: Eventually revealed as a collaboration between experienced Mancunian bass producers Synkro and Indigo, 'Akkord' blurs the lines between junglist revivalism, smoky...

  Pantha Du Prince "Black Noise"  -  Mesmerizing techno beats. Complex and layered ambient noise- bells, haunting synth. Minimalist techno with a beat. Excellent album.      Pantha Du Prince & The Bell Laboratory - "Elements of Light"  - I have also had there more recent album in the...

Definitely Fostex headphones. Look like T50RP's Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 2

They are indeed 771's. :)I also have am a huge fan of older mission speakers. I bought a pair of 761i's on closeout around the time they stopped selling Mission in the US. Had those forever and fell in love with mission speakers.Since then I am always looking for good deals on older mission...

New apartment and new setup that I am happy with. Primarily listen to the the Dt880's and the Missions. Occasionally hook up the M1 actives for fun. Fixed up damaged cone with some glue on one of the 771's as temporary fix. Love the sound of the Missions through the tubes. Finally found a pair...

New source for my rig. Came home on vacation and brought my rig with me because I was going to be gone for a week and a half and ended up getting a free hand me down Conrad-Johnson Cd player from my dad that is worth more than the rest of my rig put together. He said he was having trouble with...

Quote: Tube amps are normally not portable so they usually run on AC power and are plugged into an outlet. A lot of tube amps will have an analog out and analog in so you could connect it to a DAC, cd player, etc with a RCA cord or plug it into a computer, ipod, etc with a RCA to 3.5mm Y...

No I am only using the A1 as a headphone amp at the time. Like I said earlier my beloved Mission 770 bookshelves are no more so at the moment I just use my Alesis M1 active 520 studio monitors. Just got a couple of  pair of Mission M70 bookshelf speakers off craigslist yesterday dirt cheap to...

Quote:   That is what my audioholic brain keeps telling me, don't encourage it. I do have a pair of Alesis m1 active 520 studio monitors, but my Mission 771 speakers kicked the bucket recently. The studio monitors are fine, but I kinda miss that sweet sounds of my Missions. My wallet...
