    Mine is rarely even clean. That was from a few years back, minor mods since then, namely rocking a softtop and different beadlock wheels.

    Joying Car Stereo Receiver/Head Unit Review

    P.S. I have the ATOTO S8 premium and an Alpine single din (nice unit, just old skool) laying around. I can send them to you for testing if you have any interest in adding to the test lot.

    Mind Blown. What next?

    I didn't read all the thread, so it might have been said before, but coming from someone who was deep into the upgrade craze for 3.5 decades, do yourself a favor and learn to optimize what you got in your room first. It is seriously more important than this little upgrade or that. First, if...

    Joying Car Stereo Receiver/Head Unit Review

    There once was a time in my life where I was into car audio because I drove a lot and listened to music a lot in my vehicle. Now I live downtown in a major metro so I drive only when running errands or getting out of the city. Hence my only vehicle is an old Jeep Wrangler TJ built for serious...

    Wharfedale Diamond 12 Owner's Thread

    I tried their contact form which doesn't do anything, so I tried their email and says the inbox is full. I had tried a month back, same result.

    Wharfedale Diamond 12 Owner's Thread

    Does anyone know off hand what size/thread of the binding post are? I lost one in my last move and the posts I bought at a local store are too small.

    Currently have Modula MT bookshelves (Jon Marsh design from 2006). How much have things improved?

    I built the Modula MTM back in the day. Jon Marsh is a smart dude, a power engineer in his day job. These speakers punched well above their weight. However, I can't say much about the off-axis performance as I didn't measure that nor have I've seen such measurements. I wished I kept those...

    WiiM Ultra Streamer Preamp Review

    I used to run LMS ages ago when I had a bunch of Squeezeboxes, then I went to UPnP. Basically, it works the same way AFAIK. You have the Server and the player. In my case, I had the UPnP server running on my NAS where my music is and the player (LUMIN in this case) I setup a few places...

    WiiM Ultra Streamer Preamp Review

    I will qualify my statement by first saying, I just bought a WiiM Ultra but haven't used it yet due to my system needing some repairs to the CDs...but will soon. Previously, I used my PS Audio DirectStream DAC with the Bridge II. I have my collection of >5,000 albums on my NAS (which was...

    Why do people recommend using a streamer between the PC and the DAC?

    For me, like some others here, the need for an Ethernet based streamer is a strong desire to not have a PC source in the living/music room. I use(d) my NAS as server with a huge library stored remotely and the streamers are my sources where I listen. I code all day at work and really don't...

    What is a good Universal remote these days?

    I just changed my system to use a dspNexus as a "preamp" along with a WIIM ultra as a streamer and an LG OLED tv. That led to 3 remotes, two of which are very small. In the past I used Harmony remotes, but they are no longer and I lost the bases for those in the last move. I want to know...

    Topping DX5 II

    This is probably the device I will be waiting to see reviewed the most. I am more of a speaker guy than a HP guy, but there are many times, given my taste in extreme metal and my wife's total opposite taste**, where I will listen to music on my computer system with my closed back Beyerdynamic...

    JBL M2 Reference Master Monitor Review

    I think you should bring the swarm back, @Duke. This crowd is a better crowd to learn some "science".

    Shout-out to (or for) Speakons :)

    the movement to a better connector is as slow as glacial ice melts. But progress is progress!

    JBL M2 Reference Master Monitor Review

    Duke provided one of the best solutions at a reasonable price back in the day. Dr. Geddes created a solution to follow for below the Schroeder frequency and it was all about multiple subs in strategic locations. It is all about using the other subs to fill in room modes for your first and...

    That is exactly what I meant by spade connectors. I have a few of those handy from my Jeep hobby. [the female side of spade]

    Nord One NCx500 flashing red

    It had the correct IEC outlet, but a simple oversight in a busy time can happen. I assumed it was simple and it was.

    I don't have the connector handy, was thinking of modifying a spade connector until I can get one.
