That's during the golden years when market is booming for me. Since then I've stop all the watch nonsense. I'm crazy about Omega moon watch. Love it's history and classic look. Sorry, they're not for sale. @Wednesday Limited edition Mathmos Astrobaby Yellow-Orange for you sir? Only 50 pieces in the world. Or you can go for the light changing Mini Lamp.

Lazyboy 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2009 In my opinion, for Omega, only the moon watch is worth collecting and only the vintage calibre. No worries as a lot of omegas have come and gone through my wrists. I've sold off the Gemini 4 and gave the rest of the three a pass. I've kept a few and only have one more I am targeting for my collection, a mint calibre 321 Speedmaster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it'll be ideal since it's face is made of sapphire crytstal which has very good resonance. Just make sure it not replica as it's whole face can pop out under pressure.

uberburger101 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) So where's your impression for the new amp? Only had 1 hour of listening so far. Today had a bad day at work too... Sigh, tomorrow I'm off though, can listen the WHOLE day. One thing I have to say is that the moment I turned it on fully stock I was quite disappointed. Had buyer's remorse for awhile. Changed to the BlackSand Violet Z1, blacker background and more dynamics but not really a lot of difference. But when I tried a tube I got off eBay, WOW. Think I need some more listening time to do further tweaks, I tried with and without the Qi Cones and couldn't tell much of a difference. How about this to match the woodie panels: http://www.thevintageknob.org/SONY/sonyes/.../CDPX777ES.html That player is GORGEOUS. Thanks for all the nice comments about my amp. I'm very happy with the look. Edited May 5, 2009 by uberburger101 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ical 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) Tube amp require more time to run in compare to solidstate. My advice is to leave it on overnight 12hrs for the first time, enable it to reach it's correct working temperature to bed in the output tube and transformer. Give it some time. You'll hear improvement after 50hrs. Be careful with tube rolling. It can be very addictive especially NOS tube which usually sound great but at a price. Qi Cones need skill to tune. Not difficult but need to charge you 20% for the tips. That vintage Sony cdp is not cheap if you're looking at mint condition.
