I'd guess in this case they are not soldered - no need to be water tight and the wooden wall brackets hold everything neatly in place. Feed cables through tube, then bend, then next tube, then gently press-fit the corners in place and fix to the wall. Not sure why I felt the need to share that...

This looks fantastic and must have been a real labour of love. And, we all know Copper is highly "directional". Imagine the amount of time and fun to be had by swopping the direction of the individual tubes, to tweak / improve the sound.

It is a rock solid 3.57kg tub. Not for the faint hearted Mayo-munchers.

One Day Only... Hellmann's

Zero experience with Vinyl records, but we do add Carbon Black to PVC (and other polymers) to reduce static issues - it is a semi-conductor. I'd suspect this (black vinyl) offers audiophiles some audible benefits?

Must be honest, reviews are not that common, so it was a bit of a shot in the dark. What I could find was very good, even at the US price mark of $2,800. SA pricing through Stereo Direct must be wrong, it is just too low. Happy to report it exceeded expectation by a country mile. When I...

The good people from Stereo Direct brought me this Spectacular HP amp - Fezz Audio Omega Lupi Evo from Poland. Die ding is MAL. The same day a custom cable arrived from Arachne Audio - from Estonia (via SAPO...) Eternally grateful beurtkrag is less frequent in the evening (for now).

Old favourite Bell&Ross [BR01-92 Limited Edition Yellow], becoming more valuable (to me) as I get older... I should be able to read this dial for years to come.

Apologies, off topic. but... Flagship, done properly. Go ESD

Oh the AE version looks really good. Very very nice. I also thought the stock cable with the S12 Pro was good. I only (think I) noticed some lack of energy and definition with the two cheaper $30 Tripowin cables I bought. I could have been in a bad mood when I blamed the first, then the second...

Those do look juicy, based on my experience with Cadenza, I might also try the Quartet. David left here with my Cadenza. Our other colleague in the office offered to buy them. I am not a "cable person", have bought 2x different Tripowin cables, for look and function (balanced adaptors)...

I think I understand and trust I spared myself some serious expense by listening to the advice of others on this forum. Hence my tongue in cheek end game listing of a $35 IEM. Poor David is being forced to listen to the Kiwi Ears at work tomorrow. He is not too mad about IEMs. I think he had...

I recently re-discovered that I really enjoy listening to music using IEMs. The journey over the past year has been fanplastic, but I must be honest, I have discovered my End Game IEMs... Currently I am enjoying 7Hz Timeless (my wife took them - gave me some cash), RaptoGo Hook X (love the...

I know this is old, but I just (found) listened to this Youtube compare that @Dhiveshan shared (Ananda vs Sundara) - very very cool. At first the differences seem subtle, but eventually clear as daylight. Ananda vs Sundara [unrelated, using PC - Hifiman EF400 - Kiwi Ears Cadenza ($35 IEM)]

Can of electrical spray / cleaner - but make sure to use a German brand, if you want sonic upgrades. It even fixed a faulty balanced connection on a old power amp.

For the last two hours of the day (with or without Eskom power) - neutral little Moondrop S8 IEMs with Cayin RU6 breathing life into anything acoustic from Tidal.

I wonder what we'll think of these general comments, 10 years from now. A few years ago we said nothing good will ever come from the Internet. Many years before that, IBM said the USA will never have a need for more than 5 or so computers. I'd add "nothing good will come of AI in it's current...

Ahh, thanks Drifter. Now I understand. I suspect the cable can then be used to connect an iPhone to David’s Apple car play. Sounds like he needs to buy it from me. I’m certain it sounds so much better than the stock cable.

I have one and it works, but it adds an extra component and two plugs into the line. I'm trying to get away without the old Camera adaptor. It seems many others use the AudioQuest to connect their iPhones to their DACs and it works for them. Does it only work on older iPhones or older DACs? I...

I'm being stupid, someone please help. I just got my AudioQuest Forest Lightning to USB-A cable. Connected my iPhone 13 to my desktop Amp/DAC. You guessed it, no sound, except from the Phone on-board speakers. Not even an "accessory not recognized" message from the Apple. I also tried using a...
