Ha! You're as bad as me. I had most of my system built into biscuit tins for ages 🤣 Those tribute controls look very nice. You're almost convincing me to get a pair 🤔 |

Thanks, i made it out of oak rafters from a old barn many yrs ago,made a coffee table as well.
If you get a chance you should try the Tribute.I did not think i was going to like them did not think there was much around to sound as good as the SJS but it was a itch i had to scratch glad i did they just sound so right.

I missed a set for £350 on the Wam a little while back. I wasn't going to bother as I'd moved on from TVCs a long time ago, but I've never heard the tribute ones. I don't like gaps in my experience so I may well just try a pair. Won't be until mid 2022 though.....🥺 |

To be honest Jazzcat i dont really use it much i just thought i should give streaming a go (mainly because my cartridge was away for a service which turned into months) i begged and borrowed and even brought many Dacs which i was not impressed with. then i saw a few reviews on the B/P and having owned a B/P WE300b in the past i ordered one from Gary and it was the best of the bunch sounding more analogue then the others and i could listen to it without getting fed up with the sound.But it is handy to hear new stuff to see if i like it before buying vinyl.

Lovely set up Rich and like the others on here, love the look of your rack, would have liked a close up of one of the 805's though  Even your digi side ain't bad although have have mixed opinions about the BP dac. The Primare was on my shortlist for streamers having seen a video clip on YT. Just for you Jazzcat, I've never read anything bad about this valve based dac www.mcru.co.uk/product/lab12-dac1-reference/ |

That's how I'm using digital today. I'm into records 99,9% of time and that will not change in foreseeable future as I don't own many CDs or digital files. I want something slightly better than built in Node2 dac to sample new stuff before buying the records. Thanks for sharing |
