things might be clearer if a new what a 4w flea set actually was, i guess i will find out soon enough.

hmm food for thought there. i must say that i am tempted to start afresh with a system in the attic. i have a few odds and ends that i can put together until i can generate the cash and gradually build another system.
Owston should be an interesting experience.

Toppsy, just a thought. Have you got any suitable speakers to test the tripath amp. see if i can change your thoughts on tripath amps. (or you convice me otherwise)
it would be interesting to try out some other speakers with my amp. i have only tried the tdl3's and tdl2's.

the Tdl's are about 96dB/1W apparently quite efficient. and i think they are rated at around 150 watts pc. the guy that made my amp suggested the extra wattage may be benificial to drive my speakers. i think it is also true that tripath amps are more likely to distort and higher volumes and there wo...

I am really looking forward to hearing the open baffle sound. I have read allot about them without hearing what they are like. I am also looking forward to maybe trying a good quality power supply with my caiman Dac too see what the difference in sound is like

My experience with DIY HIFI is extremely limited. i have bought some ready made kits from Diyparadise and put them in a box. just a case of sol...

thanks for that information guys.I have done some digging around on the internet and have found some pictures of old meets. seems like we are in a big room with set ups at either end. In some ways a feel less nervous now. I am more familiar with the place and have a rough idea of what to expect. Fro...

yes i am definitely coming on Saturday.
i would appreciate if anyone could answer some of my questions, just so i know what to expect or bring
