I can't hear any difference running Freya+ in tube mode into Syn with main volume maxed and processing off.. My chain for strictly 2 channel is : Source(s) > Freya+ > Syn > Lokius > Amp I carve out the surround and center from Syn and go directly to amps for those channels. Going to watch the...

The gain might not need to match. Most surround processors have adjustable levels for the extra channels. For example, my amps are definitely not gain matched, but Syn takes care of it with the centre and surround level controls

So nice! Put's my cheap Indian street market pressed tin version to shame.

So would the 1812 version of these TungSols from Russia sound the best?

If I read that correctly you are trying to pass surround sound to Syn? If so, that won't work. All the surround formats are encoded (Think DTS, Dolby etc) and you need a standards based processor that would decode that signal into its discrete channels. Most (all?) source devices will have a...

...audio from an Apple TV, into optical and then into Bifrost. Video was fed to a Panasonic Projector. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B00XJITK7E *It's Amazon AU, but you should be able to find something similar around the traps! I'm now awaiting an Orei HDMI switch with audio extraction as a...

Syn allows for adjustment of Center and Surround levels independently. Front L&R also controlled by the main volume control on Syn or another pre-amp/amp depending on your setup

You're right about the media. The recent incident on SQ321 that "plunged 6000 feet" due to turbulence really triggered me. It was clear from the get go that the 6000 feet descent was controlled, and completely normal, and occurred some time after the incident. Clear, publicly available data...

Been a while since I tried any of them, but there were some OK drops. There is a large selection at the local liquor store, so they still sell well. Used to smuggle the plastic bladder of wine inside a cushion into some events. Security back then was far more lax :relaxed:

^^^^ My guess? The Schiit Karaoke Box. Finally!!

Ahh no, too late!

Time for a Kraken ...

Amazing how quickly we circled back to Bond movies :thinking:

So many posts today, I rapidly read through them for the new chapter ... but it's all you guys being awake and active today.

Not all of them ...

I have an old copy of that article, or at least the version that was printed in "The Green Guide", a weekly newspaper insert in The Age (Melbourne) from probably late '70s, or early '80s. Trevor Lees is based in Melbourne, Au. Made some good gear too. He used to use some of the potted...

...I know. Did it sound good, Schiit yeah. Made a few tweaks to the settings to improve the sound field and the bottom end, and colour me impressed. * Before anyone asks, no it's not a true atoms setup, but regardless it's damn good for a living room and comes with little complexity. Read the...

Apparently most people can't stand being the ultimately treated room - an anechoic chamber - for very long. Too quiet, you can hear your blood circulating. Freaks people out, so I've heard.

Metallica got a real dose of 1.21 gigawatts in Munich

So is BBQ & Craft Beer ... (wait for it) ... Boerne's Identity? The door will be closed on my out.

Craft Beers* and Rum, def my top 2 * IPAs and Big, Rich Stouts

Definitely not exclusive .... Big cake fan here. Rum Baba is especially nice

You still using window stickers over there? We ditched them years ago, thank Dog. Don't even have to leave home ... Just pay the bill, online, and move along :sunglasses:
