| Coupling or Decoupling speakers? hifiman5Seeing you have a cement slab, this is the best. I would spike all speakers directly into it, mains and subs. As there’s no way your going to vibrate a cement slab. And doing this you’ll have absolutely no back and foreword or sideways mov... | |

| Why has amplifier power become a big issue Why has amplifier power become a big issuedigepix When you say power, there’s two types, current and wattage. You can have 300w in a small package with no current. But to get that 300w with great current as well, things start to grow, so does you... | |

| HOLO Audio Spring DAC: Affordable discrete R2R Multibit Dac, could be a winner. Yes you are right JWM but that’s all we have at the moment and are still good reading if understood.

| Capacitor pricing George, don't leave us hanging. What are the brands you think are the same?I won't outright name a product of rebadging, but if you spend the time and do your homework you will see for yourself. They have selected 20 from 1uF to 100uF from that So... | |
| Another Discrete R2R Multibit Dac that can do DSD, again from the land of the Great Wall For those here that have some digital technical and diy ability and who know at least some Ohms/Kirchoff’s laws, you can put together your own discrete R2R Multibit dac with volume very cheaply designed by Soekris, for around a couple of hundred ... | |
