Just bought a Xduoo XQ-50 Pro Bluetooth 5.0 Receiver Converter. Bought it on Banggood for around 105$ Canadian. I sometimes wanted to be able to stream straight from my phone on my system instead of doing it via my computer tower. The thing is a Bluetooth receiver and can be use as a Dac via Usb conector. It has Rca analog output, a optical out and a Coax out. I just have about an hour of listening on it. Bluetooth performance is very good for what it is (Bluetooth has it's limits) but what surprised me was how Xduoo internal Dac sounded via my computer usb and the Rca output of the Xduoo. It is connected to my Musical Fidelity M6si and a pair of Focal Aria 926 tower. Sound is just much more clear and detailed in the high and in the midrange. Voices and guitar are just more there. It opened up the sound a lot if I compare it to the M6si internal Dac. Quite satisfied so far.

Playing around with some "new" NOS tubes that just showed up, as well as the 6SN7 tube adapters to use them in the Freya+... Raytheon/Baldwin 12AU7's on the left, GE 6CG7 on the right. I also have a pair of GE 6FQ7's, which are identical to the 6CG7, but the 6CG7 utilizes a shield between the two plates.

Just ordered a cheap Yamaha R-s202 stereo receiver for the garage. Will be connected to recently bought Mission Lx-1 bookshelf speakers. It will replace my vintage Harmon/Kardon 330A receiver that as been a garage proof unit running 24h a day 365 days a year for at least the last 20 years.

Here's a couple from about a year ago, with the stock head unit, then with the not so stock head unit (and amp). I have something special coming in the mail that should be here in the next week or so. Once that comes in, I'll get some new, good interior pics, front, rear, side, all around, day pics and night pics. But these are just teasers for now...

A few new pics in the sun... Nice wheels chops. I see a lot of burnt rubber on that asphalt there - was that you?...... Thank you, sir! No, none of those tire marks are from me. This is an area in a nice neighborhood with houses all around. I'm not stupid enough to do that sort of thing here. Now in another area, I've been known to lay down some nice long elevens. With my old wheels/tires, I did a few burnouts for distance. One of my friends has a 2010 Mustang GT, and to both my surprise and his, I was able to roast those tires for a solid 150 or more, with no brake assist! LOL Pretty good for just a muffler delete and an ECU tune (dyno'd at 30 hp/tq at the wheels for the tune alone).
