REVOLVE turntable project.
I love turntables!
All those of you that grew up in the initial vinyl era will understand exactly what I mean when I talk about turntables, how they...
I pulled the trigger on a pre owned Trinnov St-2 , intending on using it purely as a room correction device in the digital domain to replace my miniDSP dirac box (DDRC -22d)
Anyone here used one or is running one?
I'm pretty much a Vivid audio fan..I have heard almost their whole range and all are impressive . The company treat customers well and are a pleasure to deal with. I'm just a happy customer - so view my ramblings in that light
This is a comparison of the Giya G1's and the new G1 Spirits and...
Went to see the optometrist last week and saw that an audiologist had set up shop nearby so I decided to book an appointment to have my hearing tested .. just for interests sake.
I think these folk are more into hearing devices etc rather than testing an OCD audiophile.... but it will be...

Currently driving Vivid Giya G1's .. but my G1 spirits should be here this week...

2 weeks ago had a massive heart attack.. resulting in an open heart quad bypass a few days later. Prognosis for me looks very good , I am out the hospital tommorow.
I feel like I have been hit by a truck tho .. and have to spend a month at home.

I have DIRAC that sees my system with 4 subs as a whole and I can use DSP on the 4 subs as a stand alone system via a miniDSP4x10

Should I...
We all focus on various parts of our hifi as to improve or change or whatever
Mine at the moment is advanced bass control and digital room correction
what's your focus on right now?
I reckon that tweaks from the absurd to the really useful , do well sales wise because of price
Compared to a major gear purchases they are normally "pocket money" buys.
(yes, I know , some stuff costs a gazillion $)
I have often bought or implemented tweaks with the attitude "well why...
We are in Ennis , Ireland for a wedding , in this old and rickety but charming hotel.. The Old Ground.. travelled 6000 miles from South Africa to be there
Couldnt sleep well last night and went downstairs and outside to have a fag at 3 am .. maybe 2-3 people in a lounge off the lobby...
Assuming a system cost of $100k
Assuming 2 hours a day listening
amortised over 5 years = 3600 hours
$28 an hour
BUT you can get at least 1/2 back for your stuff after 5 years
So lets say $13.50 an hour
I listen to about 4-5 hours a day
My $ cost is $6 an hour....
IMO , its worth it for me...
I consider myself a very lucky audiophile...
I listen to at least 6 hours of music a day
I am able to afford relatively good gear (tho my G1's and Devialet stretched me quite far)
I have my own 8m x 6m dedicated purpose built and fully treated music room and can play as loud as I like at...
