| Jerry Garcia’s McIntosh amp Thanks! Will do. | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure @stephendunn A couple dac thoughts. Have you tried anything from the aries cerat kassandra series? http://aries-cerat.eu/products/da-converters/kassandra-series Also curious if you’ve tried anything from SW1X. They've got a range of products up to... | |
| R to r dacs If you're feeling flush, the Aries Cerat Kassandra DACs are also R2R and use the Analog Devices 1865 chips, just an easy ~$100,000 for their top of the line model: http://analoguefellowship.com/2020/03/02/aries-cerat-kassandra-2-limited-edition-t... | |
| R to r dacs @tennisdoc56 No, it just indicates that they're using a (now obsolete) R2R chip. Phillips (e.g., TDA1541) and Analog Devices (e.g., AD1865n-k) are two of the common ones used in the best gear. Other manufacturers, such as Aqua Hifi, Holo Audi... | |
| help on changing capacitors @grannyring Good point. That said, I've used the site to choose capacitors for two duties, high pass crossover and output capacitor on my preamp. In both cases, I heard what he wrote. | |
| The Best Live Recordings on Youtube A few suggested viewings I ran across today:A creative dj set with great sound and spectacular videography: Innellea live at Jaisalmer fort in India for Cercle - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H318p92hfFI&list=PLtQPqEWF2cIU787UucIe2jkQ5wi7... | |
| R to r dacs Holo May would be another to consider. And maybe a little too pedestrian for you @ $2500, but I love my Audio Mirror T3-SE. Used Mojo Audio or the SW1X DAC III are also really well reviewed. | |
| help on changing capacitors Right. Caps are easily swapped. Think of it not as a repair but as an upgrade. Shop for your caps the same way you would shop for any other component- by listener impressions. Agreed with @millercabon. The most accurate source of listening impre... | |
| Jerry Garcia’s McIntosh amp Thanks @jriggy looking forward to listening to the show. And I've been adding all the good sources for videos to my channel too, hopefully it serves as a good resource. https://www.youtube.com/user/cal3713 | |
| The Best Live Recordings on Youtube Thanks for the suggestions everyone. The list has been updated: https://www.youtube.com/user/cal3713/ | |
| Has Digital Audio Tech Plateaued - Is It Safe To Come Out Now? Tube output stages vs opamps in the Mojo units. Both with a lot of care in the power supply. | |
| Has Digital Audio Tech Plateaued - Is It Safe To Come Out Now? Another company that only seems to get good reviews is SW1X. Very specialized dacs also using old R2R chips without oversampling. http://sw1xad.co.uk/ | |
| The Best Live Recordings on Youtube I like the huge, entirely seated Japanese crowd rocking out with their upper bodies in yours. So obviously a different culture. | |
| The Best Live Recordings on Youtube @audiodelusion Great. And damn, everything on House of Strombo is the real s**t. What a great channel. Not a traditional Audiogon one, but these guys are certainly committed to the music: Power Trip - House of Strombo - https://www.youtube.com/wa... | |
| Looking for a DAC under 2k Not arguing with you at all. I have no experience and know nothing about the current state of manufacturing in China... but I do know that a lot has happened there over the past 10. A country with a plan. I wish we had one in the States. |
