| use of ChatGPT for HIFI Hey, @emergingsoul - Thanks. I have a typo in my comment. It's a 12AT7, not AT12. As a follow-up, I previously went down the path of MELZ metal plate 6N8S tubes in both stages (before the adapters and tube changes to Telefunken and Sylvania) and... | |
| use of ChatGPT for HIFI I built and trained a GPT on OpenAI's 4.o using Ivy League Master's courseware, as well as consulting back and forth about what it did and did not know, ultimately rolling the info back into the GPT's base training. I gave it my detailed system in... | |
| Looking for a new DAC With the myriad of responses you've already received, mine may not provide a whole lot of value. My prior system consisted of Magnepan 1.7s, a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum III stereo tube amp, the BlueSound node (2, then 2i, then n130) and outboard... | |
| Streamer, no DAC please? I agree with yyzsantabarbara. The Lumin U2 is an excellent choice. especially with its upsampling capabilities. I wish it were in Op's price range. | |
| Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp I have a Node 2i USB connected to a Schiit Audio Bifrost 2/64, Schiit Tyrs, and Magnepan 3.7i. I cross over at 80hz between the Magnepans and a Rhythmik F12SE. It sounds magical. | |
| Project (Pro-ject) X1B The site and some of the reseller sites are inconsistently telling me they had the Ortofon Red, then the Sumiko, and now something that is a rebranded Ortofon red. Which is it for sure? | |
| Upgrade from Schiit Bifrost 2? I eventually had to spam one of Jason’s live streams to get the attention I needed. Once in touch, the process worked. Since this time, I’ve replaced the CM III with a pair of Schitt Tyrs and the Freya +, modded with upgraded caps, and rolled tu... | |
| power amp ideas for less than $3000 Upvote for the Schitt Tyr monoblocks. I’m using them to drive Maggie 3.7is. | |
| Freya + ( Plus ) Capacity Mods Yes, please see the article for details | |
| Freya + ( Plus ) Capacity Mods @musiclover1 - The details for how the upgrade is done and the bill of materials required are in the article. They cap details are listed here (vcap odams). https://www.hificollective.co.uk/components/vcap_odam.html I contacted Driftwood Music i... | |
| Freya + ( Plus ) Capacity Mods @jayctoy Other than a web-article based on a German website, I'm unsure what you're asking. | |
| Freya + ( Plus ) Capacity Mods @musiclover1 Sure. What I notice is the reduced fatigue, even for recordings which are less than ideal (where I'm listening regularly). I attribute this to lower distortion in the mid to high frequency ranges and an improved crossover profile, a... | |
| Freya + ( Plus ) Capacity Mods I ordered the caps and had the upgrade done. WOW! What a huge improvement. I highly recommended doing it!!! | |
| Freya + ( Plus ) Capacity Mods Hi Sid, I read the same perspective at the link previously provided. I am not qualified to weigh in on the topic. What I'm hoping to learn is if there are qualified folks who would do this work and if so, who are they? | |
