Doc mods work with point and squirt. I would not have a upwards firing bass driver in a bay window or a large ceiling . I'm considering the Doc mods with my old PnS speakers as a way of "practicing" for the real thing, especially doping the drivers. The Dali's are working acceptably so li...

Personally I wouldn't bother doc modding any of them unless you can move the mid bass to an up firing position . :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Yeah, they are all PnS same as the Dali's so may as well keep the Dali's, rather than p!ss about. Six of the Kenford SBX3040 Drivers are going to set me back £450...

Acrylic cubes, either in gloss or satin-matt, will not be anywhere near £4500. That figure would be a minimum for making them in birch-ply (given the current cost of raw materials, thanks to Vlad). Well that is good news. I was going off a video I saw on Youtube of the Cube at the NWA show (I think...

Having missed out on Pets's Cubix Pro, when offered here and also on the Bay of E. I'm thinking about speakers. Obvious choice, wait for a new set of Cubes from Paul. Can I justify spending £4500 on a new pair of speakers? Not really to myself and certainly not to my partner 😭😭😭 Second choice wait f...

I don't know if Volumio can handle MQA - DSD direct is possible and also conversion of DSD to PCM for non-DSD DACs. The phone using tidal should present MQA straight to the DAC ... Unless the phone I'm using doesn't support aptX on its Bluetooth ... Dont have a USB C to B cable so can't test a dire...

TheRealAleMan has recently gone down the mini-PC route with Volumio and Tidal. https://www.hifisubjectivist.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=51546 :dance: :guiness; Yeah, and I still can't get the DACMagic 200 to recognise when Volumio is streaming a MQA mastered file from Tidal. It also doesn't do it v...

Had a very similar discussion with a colleague at work. He has tried Expensive cables, Cheap cables, and cannot hear anything different between the two, but his "HiFi" system has a graphic equaliser, so he can "tune" the system to get the sound he wants. :doh: :doh: :doh: :doh: :...

The only time I've noticed it was picking up my upgraded Fruitbox. On first listen it sounded great, then Trevor said, try it with a new stylus as we discovered an issue. The sound opened up, like cleaning the windows. There was also a much lowered gap between the stylus and the body of the cart. I ...

An optimised load will not make up for a weedy power supply

That is ultimately what put me off of buying into the Naim "club"

Talking to Trevor about the SuperNait 3 ... "It's a great little amp, but really needs a power supply" The same applied to the Naim phono stages.
