| GaN based amplifier made in the USA from Class-D Audio USA I actually have the Orchard Audio StarKrimson Ultra on loan for the Arizona A/V Club to get passed around. Leo Ayzenshtat is great to work with and sent us the original StarKrimson (then BOSC) Amplifiers and power supplies last year. Yes, it was ... | |
| What CD players will accept an I2S connection with the PS Audio Direct Stream DAC ? Sony UBP-X800 (now the 800X2) or UBP-X1000ES (now the 1100ES) and these Chinese HDMI Video to I2S HDMI adapters and your all set.https://www.ebay.com/itm/124463489971?_trkparms=ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140127102845%26meid%3D5227400ac3084...Excellent trans... | |

| Audio PC I built my own Music Server/HTPC and use it for streaming music DSD & PCM and surf the web with the same Windows 10 PC. It has only 8GB of RAM, an Intel i7 Processor (2018 Vintage), and a Fanless Power Supply ( Seasonic X-400 Fanless PSU), and... | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? Audio Mirror Tubadour III SE I saw a very clear and substantial improvement, all other things in my system being equal. Later I bought a PS Audio DirectStream Sr. DAC, it wasn’t as bright an improvement but it is clearly a better sounding DAC... | |
| What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”? PS Audio DirectStream DAC Sr. As others have said. I no longer yearn for Vinyl ! | |
| What are the current useless terms in this "audio world" It's F'in Great, It sounds Pretty F'in Good. It sounds like Shxxt. It's F'in Awesome !Those are my Audiophile terms and I use them regularly with friends and on YouTube. | |
| El34 = KT88 = KT120 My Jolida 3502p runs KT150's. The original KT88's were never used and I sold them to a happy Customer. Love the sound they make in conjuction with my BAT VK50-SE with it's eight 6H30 Russian "Super Tubes". | |
| Do any of you kids , want your system ??? My Son just wants the Resto Modded 1968 901's. Problem is he doesn't understand the complexity of the miniDSP EQ, which Amplifier I used to drive them, and how the Bluesound Node 2i streams into everything.My Wife will sell everything and probably... | |
| Open Baffle Opinions - I Won't go back to Boxed Speakers Evr Again (maybe....) @coltrane1 That's so cool. My woodworking chops ain't the greatest but all my DIY Speakers have always had a DIY look and feel to them. Not by choice. I am not a Carpenter (but I wish). Here the rear wall Diffuser just completed and hung today. Tw... | |
| Open Baffle Opinions - I Won't go back to Boxed Speakers Evr Again (maybe....) @quadprod :You make some excellent suggestions regarding using active X-overs and Finite Impulse Response Filtet also can more precisely help with some of my issues.But as I’ve stated earlier, I don’t want to feed the Analog output of DAC into ano... | |
| Open Baffle Opinions - I Won't go back to Boxed Speakers Evr Again (maybe....) Again, my Wife will kill me if I DIY’d 3 PVC pipes taller than the Speakers and placed one in the middle of my room (see pic link on my original post).I am building some calculated Diffusers from 2x2’s cut to specific lengths using QRdude and chos... | |
| thoughts on the bose 501 speakers I have Series 1 and 2 901's that I bought used for my 5.1 setup. I think they were and still are their finest product next to their Noise Cancelling Headphones.I heard a pair of 501's at my Dad's friend's place once when I was a kid. Great for cas... | |
| Hi end audio equip sounds better today than in decades past due to tech - T/F YES ! Down with Vinyl...LOL ! Give me Digital DSD/PCM all day and you won't take it "from my cold dead hands". Seriously though who'd a thunk Apple and a white box the size of a pack of smokes would revolutionize/degrade/wake up how we listen to m... | |
| Best Digital Interface I2S even though my PS Audio DirectStream Sr. (Sunlight) is input Agnostic (according to Ted Smith & my ears). He is correct but my ears find the USB a tad thin (It's Placebo effect IMHO) even he does all that funky USB cleanup inside the DAC.T... |
