| Trouble in Paradise: My Sony HAPZ1ES is Dead! Also an owner, fortunately mine seems bulletproof going on 5 years now. The good news is, even with worst scenario: pull out the drive and transfer over. A bummer but at least your library is intact. | |
| Dirac Live - horrible? Dont work Nightmare is when your house is flattened by a tornado, not when an app doesn't work. | |
| Fyne Speakers now in the USA @vidya46 Hiya I've owned the F501 for a year now. I dig them so much I just ordered a nearly new set of F502 from Gene Rubin Audio, they arrive in 2 days. 😃 I've owned so many speakers, around 20, in the last 25 years. I recently sold off my big... | |
| Dirac - worth activating? Good topic for me, have to jump in. I have the NAD C658 preamp, the free dirac version (up to 500hz) is included. I'm only using that freebie so far, and I only toggle on when playing vinyl. I used the included microphone on the 15ft cord btw to ... | |
| Unfair Competition: Orchard Audio Bosc Monoblocks vs. Pass Labs XA30.8 I bought a DIY assembled Starkrimson amp (same modules as the monos) a coupla months back, digging it. Open, clear, runs cool. I wish it had more gain. Stock gain ~16db. Prior SS amp was a big Classic DAC Cherry, wish I could AB but traded to a b... | |
| Portland (Oregon) Audio Club I'm in Redmond, OR and would be up for trekking to Ptl for an event, possibly. Not too far. Any other central OR ppl here? | |
| Oregon Audiophiles... Central Oregon here. Moved here this summer during the heat dome, good times. @gshelley and @ranchhand1 - I saw your posts. Any others? Care to arrange an informal gathering? | |
| Who will soon be going to a live concert? I just returned from the big 5 day Treefort music festival, in Boise. 100s of bands. Writing up separate post now. | |
| Unofficial Orchard Audio StarKrimson Ultra Amplifier Owners I've had my Starkrimson diy amp, bought via ebay, for 2 months now (bought for $1,100!). Not the ultra but his standard modules. Since then I've sold both my tube amps as I'm going Gan all the way now. Sound so good it makes me tinkle. --The one d... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? My Starkrimson gan amp arrives in 2 days, I'm jazzed! | |
| Which Tannoy? @cantorgale - will DM you; see my system page. | |
| Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound? I have a set of Zu Omen Defs that could prolly recreate a jet engine, but I rarely wind them up. Mostly jazz. However, I do now & then, on EDM / beats type stuff. They're seemingly limitless. They don't have pounding bass like a sub will but f... | |
| Transcendent T16 OTL amp - bias question (& general tips) Hi guys - thanks for chiming in!Yesterday I emailed Bruce and he thankfully replied back with the pdf manual in a couple hours. Checked the bias, and was spot on. Apparently the provenance on mine is that it was built by Ed at The Horn Shoppe. The... | |
| TANNOY will stop Hi-FI ? I bought a new set of Cheviot a few months back from Upscale. They're the bee's knee's. If the big T do go defunct, their value might increase if anything. | |
| Power Amp for Dynaudio Contour 30 and 25C Center Who does Dyn show with? Octave. Killer amps. |
