    E-piphany

    Maybe also to add to your comment @mr_b about the Holo's approach, their volume control solution in the Spring 3 dacs pre section(class A) is in the analogue domain, as is their full preamp, the Serene also class A

    Leak tl 12’s

    I have limited experience with the Leak under discussion, so I only have a general comment or two. Although valve designs and topologies are mature tech, execution differs vastly, and this is where certain amps and brands set themselves apart from the herd. Tacit knowledge plays a role in OPT...

    Over the past few days, I got to know the new French arrivals informally.

    FS - Headphones Pathos Aurium

    A friendly reminder that despite the weak rand, prices at Stereo-Direct are always attractive and, in some instances, exceptional value. We run monthly specials, and the highly regarded Pathos Aurium Headphone amp is one of those specials this month...

    Fedex works mysterious ways but brings Grace.

    I have been working with the Fedex SA team for the last 3 years, and since having an account manager, the service has been great. Just this morning, I booked a shipment, and after an initial pushback about the magnets' strength of the speakers, the shipment was lifted late this afternoon and is...

    SARS! Now requiring MSDS for electronic components!

    I had a similar challenge. Perhaps go back to the supplier, as they should have it available, even if it is for the raw materials used during manufacturing. Fedex is only a conduit and is not able to help. (sorry i responded in a rush and edited my response slightly)

    High End Munich 2023

    Wonderful pics @achim and a testament that audio is not only about good sound but more also about friendships, memories and good times. Enjoy the vibe and trip down the memory line and come back refreshed and inspired.

    Tzs pants down

    Not sure exactly how to respond to your post @sailor. You clearly have made an effort to read my posts, and I appreciate that, but at the same token, I get the impression you don't fully grasp my viewpoints. Keep in mind that there are many issues at stake in this thread, so I also previously...

    Speakers for an Exclamé 100 in a big room

    Besides sensitivity, I would also carefully look into any potential candidate speaker's impedance curve as well as the electrical phase angle of a design. An easy-to-drive speaker is relatively sensitive but also has a friendly impedance curve. Many designers optimise sensitivity but are almost...

    My journey down the hi-fi rabbit hole

    The line between bookshelves and floor standers is often thin. One of the most significant differences is the cabinet's surface area of cabinet, which is, in the case of a typical stand mount, considerably less than that of a floor stander. The upside of this is fewer strayed resonances to...

    Green shoots that could be a sign of growth, also for the hifi industry

    HMV's conviction to reopen on Oxford Street after the company bounced back to profit in 2022 is interesting. My takeaway is that a new concept, which seems to be more lifestyle than tech-orientated and perhaps a closer alignment with the music industry, could be an injection even to the hifi...
