Artisan 10 AE

Fabulous. I used to have an Artisan 30 combo years ago but it was so heavy. Great amps.

Think they only made a limited number. There were three anniversary ones.

Aha. Good stuff. I’m a Mesa Boogie guy these days. Mark V.35 combo.

Mesa Boogie is great - been using it for years… :grinning:

Mayonnes bass?

Yes, it is (one of the two Mayones basses that I play). It’s a custom-made 6-string one - swamp ash, with Nordsrtand pickups and an Aguilar pre-amp…

Agreed I use one into both a Chord Mojo and Ifi Zen Dacs but I also have an MCRU/LDA Linear PSU for the Aries that is supposed to really improve it’s own Analogue out put so will try that without any off board DAC.

It’s only a secondary source used mostly by my other half for background music which is why I haven’t invested very much into it but even so it sounds excellent and to be honest she is as happy playing her ipod through our Roberts Radio in the other room.

Thanks Tim.

Here’s the rest of the system & room. Pictures dragged off last years thread again. :grinning:

Cheers, Rack. :+1:t5:

Thanks Mark.

Does the Naim sub work good with your SL2? Because we rarely see those Naim subs on systems pics. Looks good.

Hi Folks. 2020 brought a few changes to my listening room. Room treatment got completed to my liking and Townsend Podiums under my Fact 12s added an unexpected uplift taking the floor boundary out of the equation. I decided to demo the S1 Pre and the outcome turned out somewhat predictable, as it brought so many good things to the table.
A Cheers from me to a happier New Year 2021 to all here. ATB Peter

Friend of mine had a Mesa Baron tube amp for his home setup. Massive.

Yeah, it works great on the AV side of things (there’s an AV2, feeding a NAP 145 & 200 for centre & rears) but I rarely use it for 2 channel.

Cheers, Rack.

Thank’s F.R
The temperature is just right, always, for opening a new bottle… the contents of the stand are changing every 3 months…

Please don’t use the word modest, that system would probably cost about five figures to replace , a super turntable, good amp, well thought out streamers and DAC as well as quality speakers .

I have the very same PS for my Mini and don’t feel the need for an external DAC.
