Incredibly Beautiful Set-Up...

Wardsweb,

Well, I know I've probably said this before, but here goes "Wow!" What beautiful equipment and speakers you have my dear... What kind of veneers will your speaker have? BEM or Rosewood? May I ask, who made them?

Just incredible photos of you gear as well. If you are DIYaholic, then I hope to be so luck as to be stricken with that affliction as well.

Absolutely magnificent work...

Where in Texas do you reside?

Kudos, excellent work!

I really like the workmanship and design of the 6DN7 stereo amp, and I'm an SS guy

Thanks for sharing.

Wow talk about blast from the past. This thread is years old, but that's cool too. The turntable is a Clearaudio Champion II, SME 309 arm and Benz Micro Glider cart.

Here is an updated picture of my DIY horns from earlier in this thread. They are now done.
