    Modded SET amps

    Hadn't set out to do any tube rolling myself, but at one point I thought the Russian rectifier tube in my SET was damaged, so I ordered another one, a cheap generic and unbranded Chinese one. I've compared the two and I prefer the Chinese, unbranded cheap one on rectifying duties. This was...

    Modded SET amps

    And that SET simplicity of circuit has a couple of very important advantages: - Superb sound - In a DIY project, you can then choose really good components (there are few of those, so your budget can go into selecting excellent ones) There are a few possible switchable mods that I have...

    Sony BRAVIA OR BRAVIA OLED

    There are quite a few 4K titles on Netflix already (I believe Amazon's service also has some). Quality varies quite a lot though, down to the Marvel shows which unfortunately have digitally added grain filters. Expect a massive step-up when you try out a 4K Blu-Ray player with a 4K Blu-Ray...

    Sony BRAVIA OR BRAVIA OLED

    Congrats, Steve! Enjoy real blacks and the heightened sense of reality it brings, together with 4K. Do you have a 4K Blu-ray Player to go with it?

    * Did you watch a film last night (on Blu or DVD), and what was it? *

    John Wick is amazing. And they managed to make John Wick 2 top even that, and additionally, with a cliff-hanger to die for. I have both in 4K, and will re-watch both in 4K.

    Test your dac

    Yes, that would indeed be better.

    Does digital room correction and equalization make all speakers sound the same?

    No, won't happen because music reproduction and SQ don't rely solely on the Frequency Response profile. They rely a lot also on how transients, especially attack transients are reproduced. EQ cannot correct deficiencies there (but can introduce more). Furthermore, how attack transients are...

    What have you watched [4K]?

    X-Men: Apocalypse was far better-looking and more enjoyable than the so-so X-Men: Days of Future Past. We can see the origins of some of the X-Men in this one, and the story is okay, nothing extraordinary. McAvoy does a great job as usual, as does Fassbender, who is regularly superlative...

    Huge Red Flag right here. Why should anyone believe criminals?

    5th AudioExotics Super Hi-End Show

    Always fun to see the pictures from AudioExotics shows. Also, if anyone knows the demo music and songs used, especially oriental ones, do post them here.

    Tour of my optimised USB isolation devices

    Congrats on making those. I bet there will be more and more interest in these with some more time. Been listening to my own isolated USB connector and DIY Linear Regulated PSU for my DAC (+ AC Filter box to tame some of the Leakage Currents) for 6 months or so and grinning ear-to-ear about...

    Who's buying the UpTone Audio ISO REGEN?

    A very blatant example of Amir's lies is in this post, in a thread since closed, providing no possibility to respond to this by parties involved or others: The quote above can only mean one of two things or both: 1. Amir deliberately distorted and posted anything John Swenson said, which is...

    AC Polarity and the reduction of noise and hum

    Feel free to listen to him yourself if you believe his advice is good... There isn't any cheater plug when the device is two-pronged as I mentioned. This isn't about safety here, and nobody was saying to ignore safety in this thread but of course, some are hell-bent on making it about this...
