Cope Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 Saw this on Hifido the other day (sadly since sold): Some days I'm rather annoyed I don't live in Japan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRSDarwin Posted September 6, 2020 Share Posted September 6, 2020 (edited) The modern version of the vu meter, Oppo HA 1. A lovely headphone amp when combined with the Oppo PM 1 headphones. This is fed from my Mytek Brooklyn DAC + taking music from the Roon Nucleus. These photos do not do the lovely (electronic) vu meters justice.

audiofeline Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 This is not a reflection on this great thread and site. It is a "VU"-style meter that appealed to me. Look closely and you will see it's manufactured by TEAC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rock Puppy Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 If I had one of them near me, it would be nudging "PEAK" all the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have these exact same decks as my garage sound system. Complete with matching tape deck and speakers. It sounds pretty good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having moved 3 months ago the garage still hasn't been sorted. Need to build shelves and so on and covid, so it hasn't been done. I purchsed this maybe 15 years ago including the matching speakers second hand with the intent to use as a stereo setup in my garage. Yeah, it's pretty dirty but does still work, maybe I should give it some tlc. Edited September 14, 2020 by SGS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I initially thought Integra, but Google tells me (yes, I cheated) it's a Proton AA-1150. I'd never heard of it before. How's it sound?

gemini07 Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 Well that didn't take long.... The sound in my system is very detailed, minimal distortion, dynamic and natural. Very revealing of any harshness in a recording. They are probably best matched with a sweeter type of preamp. The 'Dynamic Power on Demand' feature makes for interesting reading and some of the measurements are remarkable: https://www.jkwynn.co.uk/Project_Images/Proton/AA-1150_review.pdf 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
