RADA Precious One
I came to learn of another very interesting Lithuanian hifi brand, RADA, whilst discussing various optimisation plans for my DaVa stereo and mono field coil cartridges.
I had been vaguely keeping a lookout for a new phono stage for quite a few years now and so when I stumbled...
Hi All,
Per my other speaker build thread, please find new thread to discuss all things field coil.
Where to begin? Well we see electromagnetic tech being deployed in multifarious hifi devices (I am not sure if I missed anything but feel free to add):
> Field coil modern cone drivers such as...
Hi All,
I wondered if anyone here is using a digital crossover and / or room correction in their system and if so which software or hardware implementation are you using?
Best.
Hi All,
Just following up on the recent post from Barry regarding his visit to Mik.
I was very fortunate indeed to get the chance this week to finally visit Mik and his incredible audio room.
I realised immediately after entering the audio lair that it really warranted that I write this up...
Dear All,
As some of you might have seen from other recent threads, I recently acquired a pair of Bert’s incredible BD Swing MKIIs.
I had followed the Swings from many years back in their very first iteration using the Oris horn up top coupled with a full ranger (modded Lowther in those...
Dear All,
I just recently acquired a beautiful mint 1950s Philips EL3501 transport and now looking to acquire a tape preamp. I thought the logical choice to get me in the game without spending a bomb is the De Havilland. Anyone got experience of this and how does it stac up versus the Doshi...
Hi All,
Today was a momentous day for me as I took delivery of a brand spanking new Vyger Atlantis turntable. I had an idea what to expect having regularly heard and seen the Vyger Indian at The General’s house.
However nothing quite prepares you for the sheer monstrous size and insane finish...
Dear All,
I am trying to install a VDH colibri XGW on my Triplanar (my existing cart if a Lyra Kleos which is fine). Now when I adjust the overhang, I see that the VDH needs to be set far back in the head shell because the cantilever extends forwards a lot. Anyway - it requires it to be so...
Hi all,
I might be changing my speakers out soon and one brand on my radar is Avalon as I have always been a fan particularly on their staging and musicality whilst on a small footprint.
I am reaching out in case we have any users of the above speakers. I am looking for real world insights...
Hi all,
These new svs 16 ultras have me salivating with excitement - look to be exceptional value for money and mind bending performance. Can be controlled using Bluetooth off iPhone. 1500w continuous into 8ohms and 16" driver. This means business...
Hi all,
I am about to start a conversion of my listening room and wondered about adding some TT wall shelves. These appear to be the optimum isolation - why do more of us not use them?
Any recommendations for brands?
Cheers
Hi all,
Just wondering whether there are any former or current IO owners out there on wbf? Looking to connect to gain insights about this beast.
Best,

Hi all,
Just browsing the pages of my monthly subscription to Hifi News and noticed that CES saw the launch of the EMM labs DA2. Now said Dac is hexadeca DSD capable (16x) - I asked myself immediately I wonder when my GG will be able to do that after a new USB interface is installed. I then...
Hi all,
I wonder whether anyone on the forum owns or has heard the Analog Domain products?
I first heard their integrated amplifier powering some Alexias with a DCS Vivaldi front end and was enormously impressed with the authority the amplifier had over the fairly taxing Alexia load -...
Hi all,
I have been following the threads about Entreq and Troy grounding boxes and wondered whether my system would benefit from chassis and signal grounding in this way. Instead of buying one of these boxes, I was considering installing a copper grounding rod into the earth outside my...
Hi all,
My friend Bonzo said great things about this forum and that I can learn loads from all you guys. So here I am and looking forward to the journey.
I love classical music the most but listen to most genres depending on mood. I like both ss and tubes and a blend of the two. I have...
