    Antipodes K50 set up help

    Hi guys I've got a demo K50 coming over next week, I'm just looking for a bit of advice on set up. I am not in the slightest bit technically minded, so please speak to me as if I'm the most stupid man on the planet ;) I'll be using it as a player only by copying my music onto the internal...

    Home Dac test - Legacy Boulder VS Bartok VS Bel Canto E1X

    It’s been around 6 years since I’ve had itchy feet re my DAC’s performance against newer models. The last time I tried MBS, TotalDac, antelope and Bricasti among a few others. Back then I found that Dac quality at similar price points was more alike than different, tending to offer a slightly...

    Compression drive units - some advice needed

    Hi guys My speakers use Viavox S5’s which are turning 30 this year. Just wondering what’s the story with maintenance/servicing? I’ve read that the magnets need re-magnetised etc. Does the charge just naturally dissipate over time and does this affect the units SQ? Are there any other parts that...

    Hard wiring speaker cables to cross-overs - any real sonic benefits?

    Im looking for a bit of advice Some of my spades and banana plugs are getting a bit ropey and due a change.

    Sean Jacobs DC3 power supply in da house

The Longdog/MCRU was custom made for my server, to replace the switched mode power supply...

    Flea powered (sub10w) Class A Solid State Power amplifier required. But do they exist?

    Hi everyone I use 106db horns so realistically I’m only ever using a watt or so. I’ve tried many valve amps but didn’t really get on with any of them SQ wise (plus my system is running 12-14 hours per day). At present I’m using some little Class D things as a stop gap which do sound great, but...

    Subs for big horns?

    Can anyone recommend, or is there such a thing, as a subwoofer (or pair of subs) that can keep up with the lightening fast bass of big horns? I don’t need anything too subsonic, just to fill the 30-60hz range, my speakers tail off quickly below 45hz. Budget - pretty flexible but in or...

    Adnaco S3b USB vs the best PCIe cards?

    For a good few years I’ve been using the Adnaco S3b fibre optic extension system to output USB from my custom server. At the time the only PCIe card I compared it to was the SOTM tx card, the Adnaco beat it hands down. Anyway, the other day my HDPlex power supply decided it didn’t want to send...
