Nice. I also have a 330B, but it's going to my daughter soon. I'll be updating to LED's on both. I don't like them on everything, but I think HK green looks nice when it's a bit brighter. I'll pick up a 730 eventually when the timing is right, I really like the look of the tuner dial.

The real dream is a 900+, but I need to get a lot better at servicing/repair before a quad comes through the front door.
 
My latest acquisition was a streamer to replace my old Marantz Network player.
Arcam ST60. They were recently discontinued by Arcam. Which means they're selling at get them off the shelf prices. It's a very unique streamer in that that it reclocks and has a jitter control section which is applied to all inputs. After this, the signal can either be sent to the DAC or as a digital out. And when it's in the digital out mode, it completely powers off the DAC and the analog output stages, reducing inbox electronic noise. It's a huge upgrade from the Marantz.

They are not the easiest to work on for sure.

I bought another Butcher Block Acoustics rack for the office system- this one has four shelves (I needed more space) and "Midnight Maple" legs (aka Black). I have to finish up the back panels I added to hide the messy wiring, so it will be a few days until it is in place.

Just enough time to hit a few of Cambria’s antique and consignment shops before heading home Friday morning. 4 bins, not collated, but cleaned, inner and outer sleeves, play graded and reasonably priced. All vinyl NM, light water damage to the 10cc UK imports. None on the Humble Pie. $40 and fresh off the …IMG_5805.jpeg
