comay Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Just picked up this Pro-Ject 1Xpression Carbon Classic. I'm still very green and don't have much to go on but compared to the Audio Technica that I had previously this thing is amazing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I just got Haiku installed on an older desktop. Haiku is an OS being built from the ground up to be a fast, end user pc. No, it isn't built on a Linux distro. It's still an alpha version, but it's working. The icons and windows are made to be like the BeOS.

jimjimbo Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Still have to do more research on this beast, but it's a very old, and (I hope) very valuable Chippendale desk, solid walnut, incredible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike stehr Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I actually have that Psychedelic 8-ball one on the north of that pic. One of the first I ever got too. I went through a whole pog collecting phase...then it was marbles... I have almost all the Simpson characters on Pogs...a couple few short of that whole particular set.

Paducah Home Theater Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Installed some Klipsch AW-650's today, running from a second zone on a SR-7009. Happy with the sound of the speakers, but it made me realize there's a little bit of limitations with the receiver when messing with different zones. Some of it is kind of goofy. For some reason I thought I could get an external amp for the normal 7 channel mains, also run 4 Atmos heights from the receiver, and also have two more zones for porch and living room background music. Based on the zone setup I'm not so sure now. Edited March 10, 2015 by MetropolisLakeOutfitters 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiminSTL Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Well, went ahead and did it. Sold my Pioneer Elite SC-35 yesterday, and have ordered a Yamaha RX-A2030 for the great room. And sold my Yamaha RX-Z9 yesterday, too, and bought a Yamaha RX-V575 for here in my 2.0/3.0 home office. The Z9 was waaaay overkill in my office, and after having 2 receivers throw craps on me recently, I started to become leery of my 4.5 year old and ~11 year old receivers. Also sold a variety of my speakers (including some Synergy F-2s & S-1 surrounds, RS-3 surrounds, KLF-C7 center, KG 4.2s, and a couple of subs) which I had been accumulating for who knows what purpose. Has been a busy couple of weeks . . . . Arrival of the new Yamahas scheduled for this Saturday! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiminSTL Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 We would draw a circle in the dirt and a starting line and put equal amounts of marbles in the ring. I remember if we knocked a shooter out of the ring we'd get to keep it. Remember using "handstands" to shoot from far away to get the extra height and distance. Yes, what fun that was! Low tech fun.

Where'd you get it if you don't mind me asking. I think Needledoctor has something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where'd you get it if you don't mind me asking. I think Needledoctor has something like this. I purchased it locally. Originally, I was going to go with the Debut Carbon Esprit because it has the built in speed control on the plinth. I don't like the idea of having to take the platter off to move the belt from pulley to pulley to adjust speeds. I had saved up for the Esprit but the household appropriations committee was kind enough to grant me funding for it. So I pooled the money together and upgraded the turntable and also ordered the Pro-Ject Speed Box S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shodrewken Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 So my Galaxy S4 finally bit the dust, and I've been wanting to go back to iOS for awhile so I got the 6 Plus! Just for fun I thought it would be cool to take a few comparison pics of the 6 Plus to my old 3G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A1UC Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Not the best picture but heres a picture of my Totaldac d1 Dual , once I get the server here I will take some better pictures " Dont worry I just set the DAC on the NBS for a picture it does not stay ontop covering the vents " Edited March 16, 2015 by A1UC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) specifications/mechanicals look VERY similar to the Wyred dac2 dsdse except for the headphone capabilities. The Vishay resistors alone are pretty expensive, I'd be willing to bet they sound the same to. Edited March 16, 2015 by Schu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fjd Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Not the best picture but heres a picture of my Totaldac d1 Dual , once I get the server here I will take some better pictures Congratulations. I've read where some have a tube output stage, in addition to reading about the discrete parts where there are 100 nude 0.01% Vishay PG foil resistors per channel replace the usual integrated chips for D/A conversion and eliminate the need for I/V conversion.

The Vishay resistors alone are pretty expensive, I'd be willing to bet they sound the same to. I would bet they don't sound the same , There is a 10,000 difference in price alone . The Auralic Vega gets better reviews than the Wyred Dac and the Vega cant even come close to the Totaldac . Read the reviews from 6 moons he compared it to all different DACS and the Total Dac came out way on top .Wyred was not in the testing . Not trying to sound like a a$$ but not even close Edited March 16, 2015 by A1UC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muel Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Those rubber feet can wreak havoc on a finish . I had some leave a mark that soaked all the way through the tung oil finish on a solid maple chest. I was not very happy about that since I had applied somewhere around half a dozen coats a year earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
