    Stax SR-40

    shouldn't be horridly expensive to get a run made for the cfa, considering you need 4 an amplifier
  2. are you still using the amplifier alongside your other units? still like it? my only concern is the rolloff near the top but at this price point i'm not sure it's a huge deal.
  3. far too many projects to keep up, but it's always so tempting once you see the artwork... i remember reading that kevin was championing the el34 ccs in the megatron, should wire that in instead so everyone gets the tube complement they want even if it's not the grounded grid output. kidding of course, even if it does sound monstrous.
  4. did you figure out a way around the inherent noise?
  5. What about dcs? I've heard about them a few times but I'm pretty in the dark as to what they do differently, if anything at all. Anyone heard their stuff? I like their casework!
  6. I guess the switchers were a cost/space consideration? I'd expect that to show up in the spectrum, but you'd just need to listen. I'm interested enough to see how it stacks up against the yggdrasil, I imagine the in-house filter is the only thing it's got over the soekris.
  7. if you want a marked improvement try to dig up a fancy-schmancy usb power supply like that ifi stuff
  8. cheaper than what I paid for that stuff, damn
  9. I think the AQ series uses Gordon Rankin's Streamlength coding, it doesn't seem to be specified for HRT's products if the async portion of things was a concern. I only bring it up because I use Rankin's stuff for my home system's USB > spdif conversion, and I also own the original AQ Dragonfly.
  10. i used ac filaments everywhere without any hum issues, might help cut down on what you have to route
  11. i've used amplifiers with 30v offset, not a huge deal
  12. are you using the same case you were using for the grounded grid dht and so forth? looks familiar, not that i'm complaining
  13. ouch, maybe time to revive the group buy thing again
  14. where'd you get the case? looks great as always.
  15. yeah i started using the elear more because the t2 gets a bit too hot to just turn on casually. audioquest dfly and the ifi usb power supply, good enough for random listening
  16. that yoke already looks nicer than what audeze used to use. still reminds me of hifiman though, but what are you going to do at that price
  17. the group buy is closed? i was on the fence but i read it was open until 2/26?
  18. i've had traces blow on 1 oz for electrostatic stuff so i'd recommend against that
  19. the board cost will be minuscule compared to the rest right?
  20. i can donate mine to the cause if someone wants to impedance match the bnc input haha
  21. how do you like it against the other amplifiers in your stable?
  22. seems like bh mini is ideal for the cfa, simply for the sake of cost effectiveness
  23. But how do you know you're getting the "latest" version? zenmarket seems to be an auction site from my 5 minutes on it
  24. how do you even get your hands on the new version now that price japan isn't a thing anymore? ebay?
