Freebase Dali

My guess is Audio interface.

Valve buffer amp added between DAC and tripath amp to add some 'Valve' sound to the Solid State system on the PC. Another well spent $39

Seeing where he posted it in the list, I guess it is.
But google says no and I'm just curious .

I'm at my exes' place right now.
She's got a pretty decent sound system (provided by me, obviously ).
The Amp is a Sansui AU-G55X. Speakers are JBL TLX43's.
Her record player is a Technics SL-Q2 with an Audio Technica AT95E Cartridge.
Her CD player is a Philips CD 624.
There's a nice three head JVC Cassette deck, a decent akai tuner and a ReVox A77 tapedeck. She uses the tapedeck rarely, but she loves the look of the thing

I've done quite some updates since that last posting.
I bought a house, to start with.


That's my rig right now.


It's my Rotel amplifier. This will be replaced anytime soon.
I'm still thinking about what to buy. I am going to test some different amplifiers. An Audio Analogue (pre/end), an Accuphase (integrated) and a Densen (pre/end).

My speakers are, since yesterday:

Boston Acoustics A26's.


Which is nice


My record player is a Rega P25 with a Goldring 1022GX Cartridge.


This is my Myryad T-10 CD player with my Cambridge 640P Phono Preamplifier on top of it.

The speakerstands are a design from audiofriends.nl.
I've got the same stands in my 'studio'.
The ones on the pictures shown above are built by a friend who sold them as he bought a nice pair of Sonus Faber Concerto's. They come with stands

Attach batons to the wall and then place loft insulation between the batons before attaching plaster board to them. Finally cover the plaster board with foam tiles. The whole thing is a fire hazzard so perhaps your snooty neighbours would prefer a timetable, than having their property go up in smoke???

hahaha I've seen these types of ideas before.

Upgraded some stuff, I now have an AudioGD NFB2 DAC and Squeezebox Touch for digital. I broke the cantilever on my Denon DL103 so that is away at Soundsmith in the US getting rebuilt, still using the 1042 in the meantime. I have a borrowed Planar 3 from 1978 with original Acos built Rega R200 tonearm. I am halfway through building a step up amp for when the DL103 gets back.

Over the past couple months I've had a bit of a headphone/IEM obsession, which has lead me to purchase some great, but mostly not so great, headphones.

Recently however I've acquired a couple of pieces of equipment that have thoroughly impressed me with their quality:

Fiio E-17 Alpen headphone amplifier/DAC

This little thing-- it's about 2/3rds the size of my iPhone -- is absolutely amazing and has opened up a world of audio fidelity that I have yet two experience with a pair of headphones. it has a variable gain switch; bass, treble, and balance controls; can accept input from just about anything you can imagine: USB, SPDIF, Optical etc.. Via a 13 pin line out dock, the digital signal circumvents the iPhones subpar internal amplifier and digital to audio converter and routes the unamplified signal directly to the e17. It has turned my iphone into a veritable audiophile device.



I have it attached to my iPhone case with velcro, like so:



I also purchased, after extensive research a pair of Thinksound TS02 earphones:


For $80 the sound quality of these IEMs is immense. Nearly perfect balance across the frequency ban, (admittedly they could use a bit more sub bass extension), and the soundstage, width and depth are absolutely stellar. In my opinion they are the closest you can come to perfect audio fidelity for under $100, and the synergy between them and my headphone amp is nearly perfect. And did I mention they are made from /packaged with recycled materials. Their customer service, from all the reviews I've read, is second to none, although I've not yet had to take advantage of it.

I highly recommend both products. Together they have, for me, opened up a whole new world of music appreciation.
