Two bits of gear up and running

[GeorgeO]

I got my Shiva operational after many months of delay, it is connected to a 350 watts Apex Senior plate amp, is about 3.75 cft sealed box and sounds good. It has been pressed to do duty for HT at this time, and I will connect it to my new O Audio Bash 500 amp soon. Will post a photo after everything is in place.

I also got my Anthem Amp1 EL 34 power amp( 2 X 40w) connected to a Squeezebox Touch. I had a defective resistor and delayed getting it fixed, finally got Philip Isaac of Lizzner Electronics to trouble shoot and diagnose the problem using a signal generator and signal tracer, on Saturday. Made the SP Road trip and got the resistor and fixed it, it is now making sweet music. My plan is at some point in time to connect this to my Transcendent tube pre or another ss pre that I have (AVA) and give my other EL 34 a bit of rest.

That's a serious spurt of activity from your side...

Yes, indeed. Having done so much I want to somehow finish off my MTM( going today to the CNC router shop) and then take a loonngg break-this hobby is really exhausting!

A few minor tweaks to the HT system is all I hopefully need to do after that-my DLP pj is not properly aligned with the screen, so I need to reposition it, and do some simple wiring for rear surrounds.
