Mackie 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2004 (edited) It was a lonely month since this forum went down and despite the fact there are other forums to occupy my surfing time, it's here that makes me feel more at home and specific where headphone setups are concerned. I wonder if anyone has purchased new gears or made upgrades to any part of their systems during the month-long outage? Incidentally, I've finally succumbed to the leisure of a bedside system made up of the following (in addition to MF A3CD + Audiovalve RKVII in the music room):- Source - Marantz SA8260 SACD player Head Amp - Original Master amp with outboard power supply Power cords - Belden 19364 and a friend's recipe solid core cables Interconnect - Tara Labs Air 3 or one of Fisball's product. (Fisball - if U are reading this, I have spotted the winner amongst the three cables in my possession). Pictures will follow suit later.
