Thought I posted in here before, guess not.
 
Here is a picture I posted in the Woo thread the other night after acquiring my Woo 6.
 
Would take one in the day, but I like the lights.

Gateway Netbook > Sony XDR-F1HD > Maverick Audio D1 ( WE 5670 and different op amps ) > Semi-DIY amp (behind keyboard) > Insignia NS-B2111 speakers with Dayton 1% caps and Mills resistors > below desk is a JL Audio 10 sub in a DIY sealed box with a karma'd Polk Audio plate amp..  Low budget and a lot of the FOTM stuff, but it sounds better than it should.

Nice... I like the simplistic look.  What kid of speakers are those?


Looks like Audio Engine A5's except for the tweeters. Swans perhaps?

Thanks! They're Audio Pro Addon Ones (a Scandinavian brand so you might not know it, but they make decent stuff, especially their more affordable WIGO 160), they're really similar to the Audioengine A2 as far as pictures go, and sound great, I just made a thread about the similarity. Compared them head to head with Genelec 6010As and Scandyna Micropods, the Genelecs were ever so slightly stronger with lows and had (almost too) bright highs. The Scandyna's lacked punch and felt a bit tinny, but it was a quick comparison so couldn't really tell.

how is the rDac 85?


Sup i only got it a few weeks ago, build quality is great and sound is crisp with the GS Solo, if not a little too analytical but my rig isn't even close to being 'run in' yet so i hope it mellows slightly. Might help if i got some decent headphones but i'm waiting to get paid first
