System Upgrade – Berkeley Alpha in the house

[Sligolad]

The mono's are in one of those positions you tell yourself is temporary but tend to stay there for longer than planned!!
I will take a Pic this evening when all 16 valves get up to temperature and post later....no need for central heating thsi evening :-)

Oh yes! The C-J looks fantastic too. Lovely kit!!

Nice gear!!

[Derek]

OHH nice, Can I visit?

[tony]

Drool gear alright. Definitely no need for heating in that set up. I think you need extra racks for all that stuff.

That lot of valves must cost a fortune to run. The ESB would love em. really nice gear. Can I come for a listen too!!!

[Sligolad]

Thanks for the compliments guys and the ESB is on direct debit so I have stopped checking!!
My listening room is very small, parking is limited so rather than organising a session with everyone who wants a listen I can fit in 1 to 4 at a time so drop me a PM with phone numbers and we can arrange a time, I have a pretty clear weekend if numbers want to have a listen this weekend.
Could do with some honest no holds barred feedback as I have made lots of changes recently and it is hard to say whether I have gone off on a tangent or not....feels like I am listening to music now rather than HiFi so that is what is guiding me!
I am in Shankill by the way for those looking to visit and there will be no house tidying or formalities so keep the wine for a real occasion and coffee will definitely be provided.
Cheers,
Pearse.

I am out of the country for another week RLRB but when I get back next week I will send you scans of the manual.

Where did you buy your valves from?
Spoke with Tom Willis (the designer) by phone regarding a re-valve but Toms clock runs slower than mine and last time I spoke with him he was taking some time off and I agreed to get back to him one of these months when he is back in the saddle!!
