Congratulations, you did an excellent job! I have a similar project, I need new grilles for my Triangle speakers. The original grille is black, but I think about something turd coloured, very...

I use an IKEA “Lack” couch table. Make sure not to place too heavy equipment on the middle shelf (if you have one), because this board is not very viable and bends easily:

I cleared out, cleaned up, shortened signal paths, just bent some things and brought out the trash.

Now I feel better.

Sold my Thorens TD 160 in summer 2004. I prefer to listen to music instead of clicks, pops or wow and flutter ;-)

I finally moved from my tiny flat in a village to a bigger flat in a small town. There is more room here, even for the speakers. Listened to the...

I’m happy with S/PDIF via optical connection (Toslink), but my Macbook Pro and iMac don’t offer coaxial digital out. Toslink works without any dropout or other flaws, with various Beresford as well...

Geoff,that’s right, of course.

Gaz,
these are not technical differences, but semantic ones. You might be able to hear a difference between a data connection/transmission via an electrical 75 Ω coaxial (RCA) cable and an optical...

This statement is imprecise and incorrect. You can not compare a data format and software protocol (S/PDIF) with two different types of physical connection: either electric 75 Ω using a 3.5 mm RCA...

David,you have excellent ears, because actually there’s no difference between S/PDIF and optical ;-)

S/PDIF is the parent term for the software interface, the logical protocol. The physical data...

Barry,

I’m a happy and satiesfied Qobuz customer, but I don’t use it for streaming. I purchase CD quality ALAC files for local playback.

Phil,congratulations, Rothenburg ob der Tauber is a beautiful, picturesque and romantic old town. Landscape, culture and food of Bavaria, the German state where Nuremberg (Nürnberg) is located, are...

Svend,good choice, these are really excellent headphones. The HD 414 and 424 are especially good suited for binaural (aka “dummy head stereo”) recordings.

Werner.

Steve,this opinion has a lot of its own. I think the main target audience for headphone amplifiers probably has no typical stereo system (receiver and/or amplifier) available. Typical sources are...

Mike,in Vienna they were the standard headphones of every reputable record shop.

Svend,I also owned a pair of the HD 424 in the classic black-yellow finish. Design and build quality was a step up from the HD 414, but the HD 414 had a unique, minimalist charm and a tremendously...

Shane,I’m glad you like them. For my ears the Sennheiser HD 600 and HD 650 sound like there was a semitransparent veil between my ears and the music. I prefer the Beyerdynamic sound.

The best...

Steve,probably we actually are pissed and simpletons?

Svend,Kiel is a wonderful city with a long, interesting tradition of seafaring, marine and maritime technology and architecture. Having relatives in this area shall make your visit even more...

Svend,thank you for your comment. I’m happy and honoured to read that my pictures touched ans moved you. After all, that’s one of the best things in publishing personal impressions and memories: Make...

Martin,very true! Wintertime here is hard to bear: Gray cloudy sky, with a lot of rain and really strong storms.

Werner

Jamie,you do know that World War II in Europe ended on May 4th, 1945, do you? That’s more than 72 years ago.
