Thanks, for the info. I will have to digest the options. A bit distracted today, as had a fight with a ford ranger tow bar, and lost big style, so have to sort out my wheels before thinking about HiFi. That aside was thinking of ordering the JLsounds board and the oscillator board without the clocks...

I used the Twisted Pear Hermes card, for galvanic isolation.

I have galvanic isolation on the Amanero card already. Yes the question is whether someone else is better.. The JL sounds card has an external oscillator card that designed to go with it, so why both improving the clock if there is no benefit ? The best card (allegedly) the Sonore audio bytes card h...

Trying to understand the benefits of changing the Amanero USB to I2S card in my DSP preamp, for something better. I heard a system recently with a reclocker in the path and it seemed to improve things. A bit confused as I thought a I2S interface into a DAC is asynchronous, so don’t understand why im...

If USB C its has 5amp current capacity too. Be interesting if they did the same on a Shunanya USB cable - those magic processes that covert a 10 dollar cable into a 1000 dollar cable won’t show up

It’s a lovely day, up north….. don’t know what all these southern softies are whinging about

At least the photographer didn’t capture me sleeping

Chris, explained to me how to understand from an impedance sweep, where you need the damping, from the perturbations in the curve. I found I had over stuffed and I took a lot out without any detriment, improving the cooling of the driver. There is a concept for commercial “ egg” speaker where the re...

You had the NVA room down your end to attract people. Until someone put a sign up there was no footfall until 11 am, then it went mental.

It’s good to see that Steve and I both got positive comments for our systems at the WAM show last weekend. Whether that was Chris under a pseudonym I don’t know. Just starting to contemplate setting the system back up this evening. :( Shame there weren’t many familiar faces off this forum wandering ...

There are lots of laser ear buds for sale on eBay…. But would you put a Chinese laser ear bud in your ears….

Surprised you haven’t got any of these laser ear bud thingys which thermally cycle your ear drums……

No I wasn’t going to impose that on you. I am still keeping faith in the NHS, but am contemplating going private if that will move things on, as my worry is if it’s left too long my brain will lose the ability to hear the higher frequencies (>6k)
