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

Times are tough, but as many who have done business with me would attest, there are always opportunities to find good value even in tough times. :) https://stereo-direct.co.za/products/holo-audio-spring-3-level-1-dac https://stereo-direct.co.za/products/holo-audio-spring-3-level-2-dac-demo-unit

There are so many glowing reviews of the Holo range, both written and on youtube, this is one of them - enjoy!

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.

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...

I am happy to inform those interested in Triangle that the first units have arrived in SA. In a depressed economy, Triangle is a breath of fresh air :) https://stereo-direct.co.za/products/triangle-borea-br03-hifi-bookshelf-speaker Stefan

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...

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)

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...
