    Audio streamer, no DAC necessary, Tidal as source.

    I have used almost all the options mentioned except the Lindeman. Recently I discovered the Nvidia Shield. Using that with a DAC over USB with Tidal has been the best thing I have tried up until now. Sent from my SM-G980F using Tapatalk

    The sound of an AVR amplifier used in direct stereo mode

    Usually pure direct modes in AVRs keep the signal analog. Depending on the AVR this could sound very good. I also thought this was good enough until I connected a proper stereo amp into my system. It transformed into something way beyond what my AVR could deliver. Stereo amps are more focused...

    Had a listen to this, this morning. Well done Rudi, the amp looks and sounds the part.

    Air Loudpeakers

    Seldom one is confronted with a tangible example of passion and the will to manifest it. When you step into the tasteful apartment you immediately sense that it is not business as usual. The exacting standards, experience and curious exploration of what is possible, makes these speakers...

    Yes, different ways of selecting what you need and more gain settings but outputs essentially work the same. Volume controls seems to be using relays.

    Pleasure, haven't thought of that no. Interesting idea, will have to give it a go.

    Still keeping it yes, will be using both for now. The 29.38's size makes it impossible to use it in the place where the R2R is anyways. Will see how things develop.

    First impressions on Audiogd 29.38

    Bought this unit from Cuco and have been listening to it today on my DT770 Pro. In the for sale thread there where questions on how it compares to the R2R 11. That is what I normally use on these headphones. What struck me first switching from the R2R is that there was a greater sense of...

    Thoughts on mid size SUV

    Bought a CX5 just more than a year ago. Tested mosted of the cars you mentioned, after driving the CX5 it was an easy decision. Still no second thoughts. I suggest you go and drive them before you decide.

Got 3 friends together and proceeded to first listen to the original cables and then to the loaned set. All of us are non...

    Interesting UPS battery configuration

    Thanks for the comments. I suspected this configuration might be sub optimal. Think I will rewire them in the way I thought off initially.

    Interesting UPS battery configuration

    That is what I want to know as well. I opened the other UPS I have that is like this one, and it is also wired like this. Have been operating for 3 years. I cannot find anyone explaining this scheme.

    Interesting UPS battery configuration

    That is what I thought. Strange thing the series connection with one battery inverted works as well. And provides 24V.

    Interesting UPS battery configuration

    Interesting, I would have thought to connect them as in the picture.

    Interesting UPS battery configuration

    Replaced some batteries in an old UPS yesterday and was scratching my head at how the batteries were wired together. 24V system and there are 4 x 12V batteries. They are all wired in series as follows: |- +| |- +| |+ -||- +| This gives out a total of 24V All the documentation I can find for...
