Yeah, its all about the journey putting pieces together to get the best sound you personally enjoy most. If there's no need to match the tubes it definitely is much easier to source for the them tubes and for cheaper as well, probable downside would be shorter live span i guess. I would love to...

haha, a step ahead of you. I got the NOS Siemens GZ34 without the metal base tho not sure which year it is. Interesting, will definitely roll some other rectifier, maybe not the Amperax cause forward sounding isn't my thing. I ordered the AKM4490, am thinking of getting a separate module for...

I see, so youre running the mp-d2 ->Don Sachsould -> Odyssey, does running a tube dac into tube preamp improves the tubey sound? Excuse my ignorance, i have no idea if running tubes into tubes would be better or counterproductive. Can the mp-d2 be used as sort of a pre-amp into an amp. Yeah...

Appreciate the input Darcman and lukas. I dont have the Dac with me now yet (deposit placed but waiting on restock). I will be running it straight into active speakers for now but am thinking of changing into passive in the future. So here i am thinking, who runs a tube dac into a tube amp? or...

How will the tube sound be affected if any at all if i were to run mp-d2 into a integrated amp and then to my passive speakers?

First off, I'm not very great with making shells. Still experimenting and had so many failures. But these are what I know. I think magic gloss is pretty easy to handle actually. First, just pour the resin into your mould. Turn on the uv chamber for 4-6minutes(Depending on how thick you want it...

I could share with you what I know about magic gloss and hope your first set of shells would already be usable! Can't commend much on the crystal resin tho

If you didn't know, the Lisa pavelka uv magic gloss works very different from the other kind of uv resin. 1oz can probably make about 2pair of shell. The Magic gloss is not reusable, so do not pour the leftover back in the bottle. I poured the leftover back in my 1oz bottle and kind of spoiled...

Understood. Just one last question. What's the formula you used for calculation? Seems like I'm doing something wrong here. 1/(2*pi*R*C), 1/(2*3.1415*1*0.0000015)? Doesn't equate to 5k. Or is the resistance from the Ci calculated in too?

Won't the Ci need a resistor to match WBFK output?

Ahh I see. Should I put the HPF at 1kHz (3.3R 47uF) instead? And let Ci play the full range.

Hey am thinking of pairing Ci22955 with WBFK30019 in parallel. LPF 10R 22uF (556.49Hz), HPF 3R 100uF (530.57Hz). Is that right? Any advice would be appreciated! :)

Thank you for your reply! Just a question, the capacitor C2 and resistor R2 in parallel is the HPF for the driver am I right?

Hello, ive just started on making ciem. Am still experimenting tho, but I need some help with crossover. This is just a rough circuit I drew up. I know there is already a few crossover circuits out there I can follow, but after reading into the theory I have many questions in mind and would...

Hmm can you explain briefly why not? Sorry I'm still new to this. Am planning on making a hybrid after hearing what a pure silver cable(diy) sounded. Its darn good!! Thanks in advance :)

That many different connections might also be the reason it is not receiving enough power? Because of the resistance in those different wires. But what if it's just lightning to usb mini b? Anyone tried it yet?
