Are you referring to this:

901 the successor of the 356. PAG had to change to 911 as Peugeot had a trademark on 3-group numbers with a 0 in the middle X0Y.

I wish!

Those are fine but I recommend these instead:

Audiocrast 4PCs HiFi Speaker Isolation Feet Shock Absorber Pads IF4023B Black Stand Feet 40×23mm Aluminum Vibration Dampener with Balls for Audio Speaker Subwoofer CD DVD Amplifier Turntable DAC - LINK.

The advantage is that these offer a floating mount capable of dealing with micro movements. Also lower height, cheap and very high quality. I recommend removing the restraining o-ring for higher performance although that makes it more delicate to handle. I will write about my experience with these at some point.

I've got a couple of sets of these and I finally got around to trying them out.

These are amazing performers! And for the price, they're practically free!

SS change to a Tube preamp matters a lot more than the DAC change IMHO.

Hi, I'm thinking about getting a pair of Chiit Tyr amps. I'm hoping someone who owns the Tyr can tell me how far apart the speaker terminals are. On the web I read anywhere from 6 inches to 9 inches apart, but would like a more definitive answer. Thanks!

speaker cable termination problem? You can't widen the plus and minus of the cable?

 

[Musikfan]

I can probably get 7 inches of space between the right and left speaker spades. The cable split is taped so I would likely have to cut the tape if the terminals are wider apart than that. I've attached a photo. That's the main reason I'd like to confirm the distance between the Tyr speaker terminals. Thanks.

with spades it is easier. just make sure you don't have tension but looks to me that it feasible with your cable type

Thanks everyone! Hope you enjoy your weekends and squeeze in some music listening!

I enjoy poring over your posted images (creative hardware presentation; VU meters [added to repurposed chassis]). We're moving to a SIGNIFICANTLY quieter rental home this month, so I can enjoy audio without all the f##king awful background urban noises. In late 2024, my dream home will be available for occupancy! My spouse promised me a floor speaker system. When it's time, I'm going to dig around in this thread for floor speaker & amplifier suggested pairings.
BTW, moving houses can be a MISERABLE experience. There is some merit to the slang, divorce-dust. Must. Hang. On.
"Time outs" are definately a thing for us.

Pretty much the plot of “The Money Pit.” Definitely a case of art imitating life, I’ve unfortunately come to learn!

Edit: Not divorced, to be clear, but our own home remodel is really putting the marital bonds to the test!

While waiting for my Freya to arrive, I'm using the Valhalla 2 as a preamp unto my new PrimaLuna Prologue Five, tube amplifier. I'm finally starting to appreciate the advantages of an all tube system. The Valhalla-PrimaLuna combo has a tremendous bottom end, and a lovely mid range. I have difficulty hearing the high end at my age, but the lady of the house tells me it has an airy presence that she really enjoys.

Improvements to the current sound can only be considered icing on the cake.

Wishing everyone a very Healthy and Happy Holiday Season and a very Merry Christmas and Happy Chanukah!
