My BottleHead Gear

My current 2 Channel Analog system consists of the following:

Thorens TD160 with Denon DL110 cartridge
Yaquin 22B RIAA
Bottlehead Foreplay III with CS4 upgrade PreAmp
Bottlehead 2A3 Paramount Monoblocks
Tannoy SRM-12B's
1976 Klipsch Cornwalls (not pictured)

I also have a Sherwood S5500 (circa 1961) and a HH Scott 299D for use as integrated amps... The only thing I like better than SET configuration is the 7591 tubes!

As you can tell I am a big fan of bottlehead gear right now. The DIY aspect is great both from a quality of build and design standpoint. I still have to finish the monoblock bases, but couldn't wait to start burning them in!

Very nice setup. I might go the Bottlehead way when and if I decide to take the tube plunge at some point. So far the only tube equipment I have is the Lyr.
 
Very nice!

Great photos, too. Reminds me that I need to finish a pair o' Paramounts...
 
Nice looking system, sure it sounds great.
If you ever get the itch to roll 2A3s I can recommend the JJ2A3-40s, at least in my amp (WE 91A clone).

Thanks for posting such great shots.

I've wanted to build a pair of the Bottlehead Paramount's and a Seduction for a long time.

Nice!:thmbsp:
 
Wish you had a build thread on these. I've always pondered if I could build Bottlehead gear as I have NO electrical/engineering skills whatsoever.

What are those feet on the preamp? Where did you source them and the knobs?
