The Luxman L-507uX was my poor choice in amplifiers. Gorgeous to look at and exemplary build quality but the SQ was nothing worth mentioning. Worse still, the inbuilt MC card was appalling and so overrated - flat, uninspiring sound with too little gain. My ME MC card, on the other hand, is other worldly.

No, unfortunately, Bun E Carlos doesn’t play in the band any longer. However, Rick’s son did a fantastic job with the sticks. Just too bleeding loud.

Anyone see Cheap Trick last night at the Enmore? Bloody great concert with everyone in fine form. The only criticism I can make was that it was way too loud with Robin Zander’s excellent vocals screeching making it difficult to discern the lyrics. Same with the guitars, so loud that you couldn’t discern the notes. I reckon it would’ve been better had it been turned down to 9 from 12! Similar experience with Suzanne Vega a couple of months ago at the same venue. With that concert the bass was over powering everything else - vocals and other instruments. Any thoughts?

Wow, how cool is it that 40 year old amplifiers can still be upgraded today! That’s amazeballs!!! 🤗

I suspect that is a question for Zaph, as I don’t know.

How cool is it that a twenty year old product can still be upgraded? Can’t be many other manufacturers that can offer this path of upgrade ability.

I’ll take three of those new power supplies when they come in. 👍

Take one of each.

Looks awesome. Is there an MC card inside by any chance and has it had the latest cap upgrade?

👍

Any nice aluminium 850’s Zaph?

Not an expert here but it looks like you have an older version of the preamp but no doubt it can be serviced. What you do have is one of the best moving coil phono preamps available and I'd be inclined to find a newer ME preamp that can accept the latest cap upgrades and slot that MC card into it. They do come up for sale every now and then. Not so long ago I picked up a beautiful ME14 and it's being given the royal treatment by Zaph.

Love is a VPI turntable. This one is particularly beautiful. GLWTS

Two systems powered by ME pre power. ME25 & ME550 II High cap & ME14 & ME550II Higj cap. Yum. Perhaps one one day one of these systems will have an ME850.
