[quote user="Romy the Cat"]That is a good question and I asked myself it numerous times. My current standing is the benefits are purely intellectual as I am not able to observe the applied benefits. [/quote] Recently I got eventually the box (th...

Ok, I did find the phonostage. It was sitting in one of the drawers. I do see a rational for me to put in there- to make sure that it would not be shacked during remodeling but, kill me, I do not remember I put it in there. Anyhow, it is back and it ...

It is kind of nice to see that someone have embraced the
idea of “End of Life Phonostage”. A gentlemen from I presume Asia have assembled
the 834PT-AIR and it look like he likes it.http://mellowgroovy.blogspot.com/2015/06/monday-modify-end-of-l...

Here are some commentaries regarding my “End of Life" Phonostage.
The name of this phonostage derives from many factors. I am forty, winch it more or less a half live and in the first half I was playing a lot with different audio toys. The last 10 y...

Thank you for giving this matter your attention. Jorge, I was intending that the AK151 be employed within a horn. Further, once I had settled upon the driver compliment, it was my intention to retain the services of Jeffrey Jackson, since I am not su...

OK, here are some follow up thoughts after the completion of the project. I am sure I will burn it for a month or so. I think everything will be fine, I do not expect any issuers technical or sonic. The way how the entrance to the corrector done it i...

I needed to make a very minor grounding correction in my “End of Life" Phonostage that make me to take it off the system and open it up. I realized that I never made a picture of it when it was done. As I said before - after 6 month of service I am h...

It is exactly what the “End of Life” means – you know all necessary answers and have no needs to prove anything to anyone. I heard from you before that you do not like 834PT’s sound, I presume that it was ether bad 834PT, or extraordinary-horrible st...

This is an interesting subject. My system certainly follows the 'form follows function' rule but I have wondered how the looks of a speaker (or entire system) effects the listener's perception. Of course we have all experienced some male grunti...

First of all this is not a post about somebody replicated Macondo. I use the colloquialism: “Building Macondo” as a reference to building any “end of the life” acoustic system. Building the proverbial Macondo, going multi-ampling , arranging powe...

I run both of my Reference and Daily tonearms into my “End of Life Phonostage”. As I told I do not know any way to commutate signals at phono level signal and I just re-plug the phono cables at the phonostage’s input. I have no problem with that ...

If the setup is semi acceptable, after ten years one should lose the evaluation part of listening experience and treat the system like a kitchen radio or car playback and simply enjoy the music. I think ten years is a minimum to achieve the position ...
