And the Proac's were the old Studio 130's I bought from Simon. They did not have ribbons. Come to think of it.... Wonder if Jan will sell the Proac's & Exclame back to me :-)

Just a few corrections my friend ;-) Main speakers were Spendor ST Carbons. Had the Electrocompaniet ECP1/ EC4.8 & 4.7/ 2 x AW120DMB setup as my main. Sources were my LP12/Ittok/AT-OC9 combo, and a few cdp's, including the Plinius CD101 etc. The system was emotionally constipated. Tons of...

Great job on these. They look stunning. Even my wife said she likes them and won't mind something similar. She (and I) loves the look. I have some 90cm BrianJ ribbons here as well as some 15" OB woofers. Alas, sleepers are not that easy to find or affordable these days. I wish you many happy...

I am sorted for now, thanks @DeonC . I have about 8 or 9 broken TDA1541 cdp's in the cupboard that I still have to desolder the dac's from

Currently using 2 diy ss amps. One started as a JLH kit amp, but is far from it now. Other is my own design. I've been working on an EL34 balanced OTL for a while now, but my time is a bit limited currently. Will most probably only get to it in December. The JLH kit is a nice place to start...

Sold a lot of stuff recently. Denafrips Ares II, Nuprime Dac 9. Currently using a Cambridge Audio 851C as dac / digital pre. I'm using a diy class A ss amp, to tie me over. Had to sell the LD6+ & Phonitor Mini to fund other purchases. Headies are Sundara, low serial (original batch made in...

Power wise, you should be good. I have no idea what it sounds like though. Last Schiit amp I had was a Lyr 1. Let your ears decide. Only pair of ears that needs to be happy😉

As a fellow long time Sundara owner, my advice is as follows: 1. You will only hear their true potential after 200 hours of playing time. 2. They need high current amplification to sound their best. They will sound "nice" on a lot of amps, but you have not heard what they can do without power...

If you mean the 2 pin connector, it's the audio input

Rip G. Respect

Also have a look at double conversion online ups's. I use APC's, but they have crazy price tags now. Rolin had a more affordable option not too long ago. Specs were great. Just fit a silent fan

And then there is the issue of limited bandwidth for higher bitrate music. Most optical implementations stop at 96k. They do work wonders where you have earth loops / hum / noise etc, where you need to isolate equipment, but there I would rather treat the cause.

Yeah, for electronics that works with logic, the problems they give sometimes have no logic to it

This will differ from implementation to implementation. Normally the rear ports works best, but in your implementation it seems not to be the case. Like all digital (bar optic and most balanced) connections, usb is sensitive to outside interference. You may be right about the source, but it may...
