No sound Strangely, the SQ with the Sys is improving greatly. I don’t know if it’s breaking in (I didn’t know a switch could break in) or I’m getting used to it. Only active component like capacitors require some break-in time. You are mostly likely e... | |
Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... Vinshine prices seem to be quite a bit higher That was in Singapore dollars. Singapore dollars S$1349 / US$994. In terms of duty, if the U.S. tariff takes effect, Denafrips will likely be the first to react. I recall Denafrips started collect... | |
Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... Thank you, @tablejockey. | |
Need recommendations for high gain/small footprint class d amplifier I think your best choice so far (if you can or are willing to afford it) would be the Benchmark AHB2, which has dimensions of 11.04" W x 3.47" H x 8.33" D and a gain ratio close to what you’ve been considering. 29.3dB (8 ohm) -> 29.1dB (3 ohm)... | |
No sound @jetter I kind of wish for swapping two RCA inputs with an XLR input, but this is not, I believe, a truly balanced design anyway. The 64-step relay ladder volume control works great and solves my channel balance issue. Yes, the Saga 2 is a great b... | |
Comparing speakers at home questions I understand the arguments on both sides—short-term vs. long-term listening. I've tried both approaches. However, the key is a blind test. | |
No sound Well, I hooked up the Sys, and lo and behold, I got sound. Of course it’s primitive compared to my CJ preamp but over all, not too bad. I was surprised to hear the Schiit Sys being compared as 'not too bad' to a CJ preamp. I had the Sys before... | |
Need recommendations for high gain/small footprint class d amplifier @lcherepkai in my custom speakers, which I was told should be about a 3 ohm load. It seems like you never measure your custom speakers. Try using REW to measure the impedance-phase angle versus frequency yourself, and then compute the EPDR usi... | |
Need recommendations for high gain/small footprint class d amplifier If you decide to go with Hypex NCORE like Buckeye, spend a little ($300) more to get NCOREx line such as NCx500 instead of NC502MP. The amplification efficiency (A.E.) is better for handling lower impedance loads https://www.buckeyeamp.com/shop/a... | |

Dynaudio Special 40's vs Wharfedale Super Lintons Based on the size of your room (13’ x 14’ x 7’), the Linton might be a bit too large for your space. The Linton is known for its expansive soundstage. In a larger area like my living room (21’ x 23’ x 10’), it projects a huge soundstage that exten... | |
Dynaudio Special 40's vs Wharfedale Super Lintons I like both, and I think categorizing them into two different tiers is biased. Wharfedale’s low-end products, such as the Diamond 225, are also highly rated. At $350, the Diamond 225 is no slouch when compared to the Evoke 20 at $2,400. Your perce... | |
Is there any such thing as a bad sounding DAC these days? Audiogoners have become more civilized. Regarding the sound quality of the Benchmark DAC3, I recall making no negative comments myself. I simply referenced GoldenSound’s review, which also made no negative comments—just described it as ’fine.’ Let... | |
Qutest LPS upgrade @signaforce Please report back with your experience with the Ultra. At almost the same time, I ordered the LHY 15VA (5V/3A) LPS from AliExpress. I’ve heard good feedback from both reviewers and end users. Vinshine has used it for several upgrade... |
