I guess this is the place to put this...looks good to me.

Anyhow, when I joined Phoenix back in Jan., my interest was rekindled in Phase Linear amps. They were great back in the day and after reading a lot here I found that now they were even better...much better. Somewhere I saw a picture of the Clair Brothers PL's that Perry was rebuilding and fell in love with them. All I could do was think about them. I was in love! At first I thought they were on the pricey side, but it was pointed out what a bargain they were. A brand new state of the art amp putting out 500 watts for around $2000. Well I saw the error of my thinking and saw what a good buy it really was. What other amp on the market with that much power can be had for so little? And being a Clair bros. was like buying a piece of history. There were only so many available. I thought about these and thought some more and finally contacted Perry and asked if he could build me one.


Last Friday I received a package from Fed-Ex:

Guys and Gal, I want you to meet Virginia. She's the life of the party and really puts out! I just love her! Ain't she pretty?

This is where she'll be living along with some other components

And here she is doing what she was designed to do...WOPLing with some Dire Straits

So.... I just wanted to introduce her to ya'll and I want to thank Perry again for making this happen.

Actually, I was listening to the CD player. Telegraph Road. Oh, and I'm listening to that on a pair of Dalquist DQ-10's. A little bass shy, but they've never sounded better!

I was tempted by a pair of DQ 10's today on Chicago CL. Really nice shape. Alas, no where to put them now...someday....maybe...

Ah yes, Virginia.... The young lass I could only dream about.... She looks right at home in the jam control center (The JCC as we like to call it). I see you have room for a twin... I'm glad you are happy. Makes me happy for sure. Dire Straits? Hmmmmm, I need one ore two of their albums.

Yup, I said ORE
