  1. I got the new 'M' version of the Astell & Kern sp3000... it's a more mobile smaller/lighter DAP.

    the original sp3000 was solid Stainless Steel and extremely heavy and slightly unwieldy to the point where it could literally be used as a weapon... this 'M' DAP is much lighter and physically smaller... made of Aluminum.

    it has the same specs...

    • Complete separation of digital and analogue signal processing using AKM’s x2 AK4191EQ / x2 AK4499EX x4
    • The SP3000M achieves a SNR of 130dB
    • High-Performance Qualcomm Snapdragon Octa-Core CPU

    If anyone is looking for a low cost dongle DAC, I just got this Astell&Kern AK HC2 usb DAC. It has wonderful separation and superb pin point imaging.

    The housing is made from Billet Aluminum and utilizes dual CS43198 chipsets for awesome spatial sound.

    Supports 4.4mm Balanced Output

    Powerful 4Vrms Output

     

    this unit is a couple of years old and AK has a couple generation newer usb dongles, but this one is highly recommended.

    . The bass from a tube amp is something completely different if it is a push pull amp with e.g. 40 watts of power and feedback, much more control and great impedance independence from the speaker.

    Hi,  I've heard a Jubilee 6 months ago in a nice set up (3 hours from here in Binghamton, NY).  At that time I wasn't ready to buy new speakers.  Now I am but the Binghamton shop no longer has them. 

     

     they (Jubilees) should sound better?  Right??

    They sound different... as they should.

    you'll be happy with either choice, but if you desire 'scale'... you can not beat the Jubilee, there is no replacement for displacement.

    A Buddhist stopped at a hot dog cart in New York City.  He told the vendor “make me one with NOTHING”.

    That's more like it.
