Hi

rhyme of the ancient mariner..

Barefoot butler?

All the sigma deltas sound harsh to me. Clear? sure... But I still prefer R2R Just sounds better to me.

Metallica: One Low mids and bass most amps and speakers braaaaat at desired sound pressure levels...24/96 Do I "hear" a diff from "cd quality".. normally no. (depends on quality OF recording).. But as you push volume, the sweet spot of loud vs distortion seems to be able to be pushed higher the higher the resolution of the source file. So to me, the higher res doesn't "blow me away" with "sounds better", but it does just sound good longer as volume increases. Just that old fornier transform.. less diff in "jaggies" when steps are smaller I guess.

One.. Rime of the Ancient Mariner

AC/DC in HD off qobuz, Gustard r26 to RAM 285->tekton double impact SE+2x10subs.. (maggie fuses got delayed to Monday) Very enjoyable while doing chores around the house…. The vibrating house helps with the cleaning.

Fall off not to my liking. https://www.homedepot.com/p/NewAge-Products-3-ft-Solid-Surface-Countertop-in-Black-Galaxy-Granite-89106/315511240#overlay need 3 of em, but they are 76 pounds each.. Thats pushing it for me to move around. Could always put on a second layer too.. with another layer of cork or rubber between.. but that might be just a little overkill. And I like the black. 🙂 But it is a total of >2x what I thought I would pay.. sigh.. 15 years ago, when I bought pieces to do an above garage apartment, stuff was alot less expensive.. But at 225+ pounds, that top should be a sufficient base for the RAM285 and the Silver Sevens

Had two “holy grails” /white elephants. Silver Sevens and those Line source speakers. Got one, but now will need wait until I have some more cash to burn to seriously go looking for the other..

Bob Carver Line Source… I have 10’ ceilings.. and the money to buy them. 😉

Just a thought… I have 8ohm and 4 ohm speakers. An A/B switch would be cool. A=8ohm outs and B=4ohm outs. Autoselect the feedback with switch position.

Later last night, I relaxed with some HD AC/DC before bed. (About 80db at my seat) Very enjoyable. This is full range to the tektons with the 2 subs getting signal from the 285 sub outs. i imagine it would be better if I high passed the amp, used the sub outs at the eq and adjusted the subs to 110 or so.(for high spl), easy switch..I’ll try that this evening. That was straight from DAC. Did not adjust any settings on it from SS use, so some play time there in my future. 4000t is supposed to be here tomorrow..

A little better…. Sounds good. Gets a little distortion at really high volume. Found I cannot use the maggies yet.. I cannot find the fuses I ordered so.. ordered some more.. Maybe this weekend.. d4710136-47ff-4f75-bfa5-92d438af29bb.mp4

Short.. gotta find a better way to convert qucktime video to mp4.. IMG_0597 copy.mp4

Stopping by counter top place tomorrow to see about any fall offs.
