| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Having them manufactured locally. Will show you pics once they are ready. | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo They are. We are all metric and centigrade, you know...As for the size: "The two fronts are cones ¼ X 20 threads and a special spike in the rear with spacers for tilt 3/8 X 16 thread."So, total we are 4 front cones and 2 back spikes, right? | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Bob,I looked those SPL meters up, and I can get a cheapo version here.Tom,Point taken, thanks. | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo "... guess it might..." | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Tom,I do have a USB mike somewhere: bought it for some room-compensating EQ SW that I never got to using...So I guest it night work out.Audiotools works on a Mac? | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Johnny,This is plan indeed. I just can't spend much time on this: I only see my family 2 days out of 7, and my wife is already jealous of the audio and forums :-) The two small boys are too. So I am getting there, but just not too fast. Who is J... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Tom,They were centered initially when they came in. There are plenty SPL programs for smartphones. I was planning to use one of them. Now, throw your stones at me ;-) | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Hey, listen, I AM WORKING ON IT :-)Appreciate your advice anyway. | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo And what is that in a preamp? | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo JohnnyR,What exactly do you mean by "a real preamp without ICs in the path"? My preamp is quite real, and if you go separates vs integrated, you will always have ICs ( interconnects?) In the path. Or am I getting something wrong?Also, what’s wrong... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Thanks. Waiting for the CJ to open up. Frankly, looking at upgrading my power amp to an Aesthetix Atlas. Not sure that this is THE weak link in my system, but it got me thinking... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Bob,I Will experiment more, certainly. Everybody on this forum seems to like Ayre a lot. Why? And what about other pre's ?mr_m,No more XLR-RCA's. No more. | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Privet comrades :-))I really don’t know how to put it mildly, but I think I found part of the problem. Since XLR output of my CHORD DAC64 is somewhat better, than RCA, I was using an XLR->RCA cable. Simple and handmade. Well, I read in Stereoph... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo I was thinking Mcintosh D100, Meridian G02 OR a Mytek Brooklyn. One other option I was considering was a Cambridge Audio 851N.3 out of 4 are DACs with volume regulator, the last one is a streamer with this functionality too.But the CJ is improvin... | |
| Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo Well, the preamp is improving. I put it up on sale anyway, so if it sells, will replace it. If not - will try to live with it, replace the tube once again, maybe. I am not 100% happy with the sound yet: not spacious enough, also not perfect in ... |
