| A life sentence!!! My DIY First watt F6 amp and probably the heresy one speakers | |
| I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume? 60-75 | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @toronto416 samples of wines are assessed by a reviewer who measures multiple variables including light transmission, specific gravity, residual sugar, salinity, boiling point etc. I have had the good fortune to work professionally with wine... | |
| This Might Not Exist, Any reasonably priced, smaller speakers with 100db Sensitivity? As has been mentioned, you couldn’t go too far wrong with a pair of used Klipsch Heresey’s or even the RP 600. Another Avenue would be to invest $59 in a pair of Lii audio F6’s and put them in an open baffle. I did this and used it with my flea tu... | |
| Do you agree with John Atkinson (and me)? I thought that editorial by John Atkinson rose to the level of courageous because he was basically saying that you don't need to spend crazy money to get great sound. That's hard for anybody in the hi-fi publishing business to say because of the r... | |
| How we hear. @tony1954 Looks like this thread is just not taking off. Suprising, but anyway I'm interested in your thoughts on the video. | |
| How we hear. Tony, there is a lot there but let’s start with the graphs of fundamental tones from an organ and how they change into different "instruments" as the pattern of harmonics change. That looked a lot like measures of harmonic distortion from amps and... | |
| LoFi Low expectations means you can't be disappointed. Words to live by. Related wisdom: Live below your means. @rvpiano I am away from home for a spell and my system is now a pair of Tribit Flowboxes bluetoothed from my laptop. I love the way I c... | |
| Impedance - The most ignored and useful measurement tool Interesting! Kudos to you @erik_squires. Is there extra functionaity in the Dayton piece that makes it worth it. I already have REW but have not used it for this. In fact, I was not aware of this capability. | |
| Measurements, A/B testing - TAS discusses why they’re lacking Honestly I wish there was a hobbyist magazine that mingled a healthy dose of DIY construction and design with the equipment and music reviews. One where manufacturers and designers and hobbyists were either interviewed or contributed articles in r... | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? @atmasphere Thanks again! You mention using them as coupling caps. I'm curious might they also work well as coupling caps in my Elekit TU-8900 kit or other sets with 0.1 uF coupling caps with say the 0.1 uF and 1kvdc rating? I built it with the ... | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? @atmasphere PS to the previous reply. Does the type pf cap matter? Film or ceramic? I don't think electrolytics come in that small a rating. | |
| Your journey with lower-watt tube amps -- Can a kit be good enough? That is great, thank you! I needed that specificity of detail in your example to get it. I'm looking forward to giving this a try. Probably as good a jump in performance as a $1,000 cable :-) | |
| Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option? I usually drive mine direct from whatever Dac I am using so it is not an issue. Perhaps you have vinyl or cds as part of your sources. I pretty much have left those sources behind. So your thinking of integrated tube amps then? It might help if yo... | |
| Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option? You might like some of the Firstwatt amps. I think of them as Nelson Pass's solid state SET amps. Most produce 25 wpc however. https://www.firstwatt.com/ If you are at all disposed to kit building they can be done that way too, https://diyaudiost... |
