Re: Hi from Tokyo
welcome, it will be great to have your input and perspective.
there is such a great and unique audio tradition in japan... very lucky to be in the home/epicenter of such great "craftsman" audio products such point-to-point, hand-wired valve amps.
also, i hope you are taking advantage of your location by shopping at disk union there in tokyo.viking acoustics berlin r mk2 | almarro a318b + air tight atc-5 (phono) | clearaudio concept + virtuoso v2 MM | t+a dac8 dsd + diy transport + roon rock

Re: Hi from Tokyo
Thanks for the warm welcome guys, much appreciated.
I must confess that few of the components I currently use are Japanese. My hub, Ethernet cables, cable elevators and amp vibration absorbers... which are probably not part of the Japanese audio tradition.
I used to own a Rotel power amp and high end Denon AV separates though. I loved the feel of those.
Today my source is American, my amp is French and my speaker are British...
I used to spend a lot of time at diskunion but I stopped buying physical music 5 or 6 years ago. No more space in the house. :-)
Cheers,
Bernard

Re: Hi from Tokyo
I need to take new ones after the WB Act One Evo joined the familly. But you will see it’s mostly concealed since it’s located in our living room. Only the speaker and amp are visible.

This is a 12 volt LPS....is that sufficient ?....I thought one needed something like 19/20 volts, especially if doing DSP, etc.
