that is the universe telling you to downsize.

As a guy who had to enlist a carpenter & piano mover to transport a set of speakers, I feel this in my soul.

@zerodeefex nooooo, I've never gone floor standers it's time! @Superexchanger ok you win. I just hate the worry of moving this stuff!

Did the seller go through with the deal? Congrats!

@EagleWings he did! But they are still a 12 hour drive away and in a locked down city! So hoping to land them middle of next month.

Oh no! I hope it's safe. But that's a bit inconvenient. Selling a high-end amp like that is already difficult enough.

HTF did that happen?

Well, some confusion during shipping from EC office. we though my amp got knocked back at customs. turns out it was another customers.

I had an SRD-7 Pro in the beginning, but it didn't really do the Stax earspeakers justice in my opinion. Then I had a SRM-313 I refurbed that was ok, but the SRM-T1S I refurbed later was better. Now it's just the lowly SRM-212 energizer, basically the predecessor to the modern SRM-252.

using speaker amp in front of that?

Not possible to use speaker amp with 313, T1S, 212, or 252. They are stand alone energizers, not transformers. I did try a Pioneer m-22, Cambridge Audio 651, Mitsubishi A-D10, with the SRD-7 Pro, and felt it lacked the detail and attack of a dedicated energizer, kinda slow and soft.

I dragged my source, headphone amp and active speakers here to try and minimise listening to his other gear..

@purr1n. It was sft-1 to the DACs. Any idea why 20volt at 0.5 ohm on rockna would have issue with studio input transfos? C2 is 18 volt and I don't have any issue with it.

Are you connecting it via XLR or RCA?

XLR. RCA was really piss poor from rockna

COME CHILD OF BHAAL!

RIP noisefloor...
Enjoy the cool!

@JustAnotherRando climate is only really unbearable in Summer, I had to have scaffolding put up to get air con into this room so had to save and wait for it to coincide with some other repairs.. @cskippy I got the quietest unit on the market and it's gotta be quieter than the cicadas anyway!

A rotary jackhammer is also quieter than the cicadas.

Lol, I used recycled plastic type in my loft instead, no special clothing and no itches :)

I got an involuntarily itch when I read that.

The two I made yesterday

It seems to be a love it or hate it headphone for the folks trying it in our store.

@netforce at least it would be easy to spot the deaf folks.

Love if you're deaf dumb and hate music, hate for everyone else

How are you finding Source? It’s amongst some pretty heavy hitting company if I recall correctly...

Simply excellent. Really dynamic, realistic staging and tuned better than the other pro gear I've heard.

Half way through a big write up for you guys, just too busy living, working and listening to finish it!

@jowls you wanna borrow it? I'm going away from the 27th till the 2nd to snowboard. I won't miss it ;)

I'm going to get this for 42k + on roads. Best deal I've found so far and the guy has really taken care of the car

Hilux, when you don't want to ever think about your car again. Mazda when you want a little bit more bling for buck. What are the engines used your side of the globe? I hear the new 2.6L Toyota V6 is trouble in hot climate.

The 2.8 litre diesel is the new generation Hilux engine. Some early issues with the particulate filter, a little less powerful than Mazda and ford engine but far more refined and economical.
I also figure if I hate it the resale will be excellent

Dude. This is not how you PM on here. When viewing a user's profile, click on the Information tab. Then on "Start a Conversation".

Didn't realise that. Thanks for the heads up.

They used to have an Android app, maybe you could try see if a mirror of the old app is around somewhere, or wait for version 5 of the software to be released since that one supports config over browser.

Oh cool. Config over browser would be great. But I probably still need apple device to get it updated. I think there is some iPads at work getting dusty. I'll try get it going tomorrow. Excited about DLNA but I'm terrible with networks

Why not let your lord and saviour iTunes into your home? ;P

Jokes aside, you should be able to grab an older iPad for cheap-ish if all else fails yeah? Not like you care about battery life or UI fluidosity.

Familiarity breeds.

I’m happy to take that Studio off your hands if it’s getting tiresome ;)

Haha. Not the studio. Just audio hobby in general can be summarised by this statement.
I'm too scared to ship studio for a loaner and we all live to far apart for a meet :(

It's terrible way to pass time,.. and tube life.., and-..

I don't mind the hours on the fivres, they are barely broken in as it is!

Fell down with fast transients - I guess it's.. "for-sell" soon?

The dcs was the dac that fell down with fast transients.
Forsell holds up well in that regard.
So Forsell is no for sale yet ;)

Sorry! I read dcs as dac - I need my eyes checked.
