My Little Barn

@dcc Your collection and storage solution is inspiring. Media storage is becoming a growing concern for me as well — I’ve managed to triple my record collection in the past year, even though I’ve been very selective… lol! The last thing I want is for my room to end up looking like Michael Fremer’s in a few years.

I just can't stand clutter in the house and in the listening room.

After some hard work in the house and the garden the whole of Saturday, Sunday was very rewarding as some vinyl had just landed before the weekend.

Looks like a rewarding haul!

I have been doing some tube rolling on my Phasemation power amps lately.

I swapped the GE VT4C for Elrog ER211 on the Phasemation MA-5000. Thomas Mayer was higly responsive and I received the tubes within a few days. I won't be turning back: more details, a wider and deeper soundstage as well as fabulous bass. Maybe, I should have picked the ER242 directly. They will certainly be on my list for 2026.







I also get two pairs of Takatsuki 300B and a pair of Takatsuki 2A3 to replace the stock tubes on the Phasemation MA-2000. There as well, the change is everything but subtle.

Hello dcc,

Sonic glossary attributes like details and sound-stage and bass aside which tube sounds more organic, more natural, more like a live person singing in front of you, more like live music?

Thank you.
