It's taken forever, but I have finally finished the Claro Walnut bases for the Stereomour and Moreplay. It was a painstaking process because I am terrible at mitering and this was an amazing piece of wood that I didn't want to F-up (required building a custom jig to do it properly). I wanted to book-match and grain wrap the bases and to try a french polish. It took somewhere between 30 and 40 coats of shellac, but I really wanted to do justice to the spectacular grain.
Over the past few months I have fully burned in both the original Psvane tubes (good) and a pair of matched NOS RCA Black plates (amazing), and damn! The Moreplay & Stereomour can really sing!
Up next, and I'm a bit afraid, because the Stereomour already sounds perfect, the Shunt Regulator upgrade and DC filament supply.
At some point I will talk about the output impedance switching I built in to my Stereomour, it's really interesting. I use it a lot more than I ever expected.
