John Mayer Born and Raised 2012
Bee Gees The Greatest Hits 2001
David Garrett Encore 2008

I have not played the Bee Gees in decades; however, in honor of Robin's death I thought it was appropriate. It will be going back in the closet for another couple of decades. I actually like some of there music, but that high pitched voice is grating IMHO.

Now it's time for some more violin music.

Yeah, gettin' ready to go through it again for the umpteenth time tonight, change out some resistors and reflow some joints. I don't get how I can run it for four hours the night before and it performs flawlessly.......Then the next morning...............

Yes, those are the ones. I actually have two pair, one from an Akai and one from a Roberts 770. They are basically the same amp, except Roberts did some mods; Better shielding and higher voltage caps, mainly. The Robert units run quieter......at least one of mine does. The other is being stubbornly noisey at the moment.

(The Akais I'm using for parts.)

When they were both working the sound through my E-Wave speakers was glorious. Somewhat limited in sheer volume, but very smooth and nice. Deep soundstage...

Whatever WBJC is playing - good uncompressed FM through the CR-3020 and NS-690s.
