I can't get it to update... how did u do it @ThanatosVI?

had some free time after making some charts for work. I actually felt doing this was quite therapeutic somehow... lol. I kinda zoned out doing this chart up and was almost late for dinner with my wife. The Niagara 5000 will be a new a addition and hope to receive it in a couple of weeks. Might...

random thoughts today.. was just thinking of the days I only had the Senn HD650 and a Little Dot MK2 tube amp and was so happy with the sound, and how i waited years to upgrade to an Audeze LCD2 and a Schiit Mjolnir. I also tried to count how much i've spent on audio and headfi since those...

ah.. sorry to hear, dude.. have u tried finding someone who shares your tastes in music?

I got quoted early June too but I ordered mine with silver metalwork rather than the gold so not sure if that will lengthen delivery times.. fingers crossed. I listened to that particular unit with the vm1a and aic10 off the speaker taps. i felt it really sounded quite different from what I...

they recommend based on your needs and don't up sell. they can do custom stuff too, and communication is great.

Arctic Cables is one of my favourites. both for the product and the customer service. Norne is good too, but like u said, it's tough with the communication as well as the wait. Trevor is a good guy tho.

hope u get a well run in demo unit. I had a listen to my friend's brand new unit and I couldn't help but feel underwhelmed. something was off with the centre imaging, and seemed like it lacked the warmth and density and low end that I heard at canjam. spoke to the local dealer about it and he...

have a great weekend, everyone! My Riviera AIC-10 is finally on its way to me. can't wait to get it on my rack. borrowed one from a friend for a few days and fell in love with it; 1266 TC Phi sounded amazing off it, and it was the best I've heard from the Susvara. still waiting on my...

I input the values into a parametric eq on Roon. I save it as a preset. then simply toggling on and off as and when needed.

yes the susvara is hard to beat for tone and clarity. SolP is a different flavour; a bit darker, richer and denser imo. The oratory eq for solP improves the upper mids and highs. give it a go. I turn the EQ on and off depending on my mood and music.

nice! your stock cables look nicer than my stock cables. how do u find the P so far?

I have them too. Just prefer the TWL as they're not as stiff and easier to route. I like Pete's cables.

I'm using TWL 7 Plus cords into my Gordians.

The way I'm doing it is.. riviera Speaker cables Zynsonix adaptor box headphone cable headphone another option is to skip the adaptor box. u can get a speaker tap to 4pin female xlr adaptor cable, and then plug in your hp cable into that 4pin female xlr end.

with the aic10, yes. it sounds good thru the normal hp out, but it's very obviously better thru the speaker taps.

I use a zynsonix speaker tap to hp adaptor box for a bit of peace of mind. not saying it'll totally prevent any mishaps from using speaker outs to headphones, but the box is designed to reduce such incidents. of course, due care with the volume knob is always good.

@Hiker816 i tried the melz a while back. KR is still tops for me. try and source a nice mullard ECC35 for a different flavour. it sounds great with the vm1a on triode mode. on a diff note, last night I tried Zähl HM1 as pre into the vm1a and the tone controls work great to dial down a bit of...

no didn't get those items in my hse.. kinda lost interest in dcs after the vivaldi apex.

I just put in an SR Purple into the wavedream dac. In case anyone is interested.. from Rockna support. Fuses are as follows: - Wavedream DAC: 3.15A-quick blow(230V AC), 5A-quick blow(110V AC); - Wavedream NET: 3.15A-quick blow(230V AC), 6.3A-quick blow(110V AC);

get in touch with Dale at vacuumtubes. he should have some KR VT231. yes, you can use 6SL7 tubes. I've used mullard ecc35 with nice results. mid/upper mid centric sound. much more gain than 6sn7 tubes thus less turn on the volume knob too. I'm using KR VT231 and EL34 mullards on mine. have...

Thanks! that was useful info. my country uses UK plugs at the wall too. good to know no issues without dedicated grounding of the unit.

for those using Puritan blocks, did u ground them? what happens if you don't?

I salute your strength of mind!! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: I considered the icon4pro but I don't think I could get used to the form factor. hmm there is one last balanced unit available..

please do! that dac is one I would consider truly end game. I'd take one in a heartbeat if money was not an issue. unfortunately reality kicks in and this is one game I can't participate in LOL. Thanks man! that's reassuring. communications with Tim/Axiom leave a bit to be desired though.. I...
