One perk as the creator of Snakeoil OS is the chance to experience some topshelf hifi gear in the comforts of a home environment. Today in Perth we had a get together (GTG) doing exactly that. In attendence: Jones99, Doncentric, JD1, TP1 and myself.
Accuphase System:

Of note is the gear at the middle of the bottom shelf, an Accuphase power re-generator! Apologies for the grainy pic.

The re-generator powers everything except for the A200s I think, just those alone already exceeds the total power consumption of my Marantz system by 10 W.

The big Accuphase class A monoblock amps, with the Accuphase 3850 control amplifier

Hmmm, only 654.4 W. Can we top that?

Yes we can! Here it is at 720 W.![[Image: not_listening.gif]](https://www.snakeoil-os.net/forums/images/onion/not_listening.gif)

And a Accuphase product I didn't even know existed before meeting the Perth audiophiles, an Accuphase cart.

If you zoom into the picture there is something that sticks out on the needle, is that grime/dirt, or are needles supposed to look like that?![[Image: huh.png]](https://www.snakeoil-os.net/forums/images/smilies/huh.png)
