They are all by fans of 長空，not by chance. Thank you very much, Yamada.

I can see that the Kagura replaced by 長空 was sitting on a chair.
Hope that Yamada San can finish the pairing preamp soon, so that Mr. Wong can have the complete pre+poweramp set.

What is Mr. Wong's loudspeakers?

Piano Tuner

His speaker is a pair of vintage Hartley speaker housing one 24" woofers. We are all very surprised by the magical synergy between Chouku and this speakers.

The preamp is finished. Just need another month of fine tuning.

黃先生，

恭喜，長空是曠世巨作。

Mr. Wong's vintage Hartley speakers have 24" woofers?
They must be Hartley Concermaster V or Concertmaster V!.
