Wrapped ‘er up a little bit ago and am getting some early tests in before bed. Sounds great so far! Need to find it a home in my office.

Looks great Jameson!  I really like the color scheme and wood finish.  Enjoy!

Once again a fine looking amp. Is that 2 or 3 Covid projects?
I know we've seen photos of all your BH gear, but how about lining 'em all up for a family portrait?

Really nice job, Jameson!  You're going to love the Mainline.  Great amp.  I enjoy many "wow" moments listening to mine paired with the Focal Clear. 

Best,

Joe.

Thanks, Joe! I was really impressed in my short time with it last night. Really got to get an end table for it to sit on!

Here’s the whole gang (minus the Crack on my desktop). Left to right, it’s: Eros 2 (second shelf below the Schiit Sol and Bifrost), Stereomour II (second row), BeePre, Kaiju, Mainline (floor), SEX (second row).

I think you have as much Bottlehead gear in your listening room as I have in mine. Wait, no MonAmours?  ;D

What can I say? I'm a fan, and I had that dual income no kids lifestyle going on. No more of that, though.

The limitations on my setup right now are the room and my headphones. Once I get those squared away we can talk about MonAmours.

I used to envy DINKs as we were pretty poor before we had kids and only pulled up our income once we started making babies. Now that we are DICKs  (Dual Income, Completed Kids) I am starting to enjoy a bit of that lifestyle. But I wouldn't have traded it for having the experience of my awesome kids (who both have their shit waaay more together than mom and dad did at that age). You'll get there again when the nest empties and have a heluva lot of fun in between.

Oh yeah, for sure. I appreciate getting perspectives from people who have done it before, though.

Next up: figure out why the right channel just dropped out. I’ll wait for the capacitors to discharge and poke around a bit.

Update: very easy fix. The RCA became partially unplugged at the preamp.

We spent a lot of money capturing and relocating all the wizards and squirrels who were behind that door
