    FS: Apollon Audio 1ET400A Mini Purifi 2Ch Power Amp (EU)

    Selling the above amplifier. Piano black. 8 months old, mint condition. Original packaging and receipt are available. It's an amazing piece of gear, which I am only selling as I changed to active speakers due to WAF. I am located in Germany and would be willing to ship to EU if feasible with...

    Showing results of EQ

    Thx! What if I want to generate my one set of filters to use with my RME DAC, which only has 5 PEQ bands plus high/low shelf? Can you give me a hint?

    Showing results of EQ

    Is there a way on your site to find the actual EQ settings that were applied in case I wanted to try them out, say with an RME ADI-2? Looking at the KEF R5, specifically...

    Buchardt A500 Powered Bookshelf Speaker Review (by Erin)

    @VintageFlanker Don't you have some experience with the Kef R-series? I am currently running KEF R5s with your old RME dac and an Apollon Purifi amp. Very happy with the system, but due to WAF-concerns, I am thinking about switching to the A500s. What is your guess - will this be a better...

    Old deals we still think about

    So basically, set up alarms for all the gear that could potentially be interesting, then watch the market for while (maybe even a couple months) to get a good feel for prices and find a good deal.

    Old deals we still think about

    I think this was pure luck and a unique offer. But I can say that I found it through a Hifishark alert, a very useful site for finding audio deals anywhere in the world.

    Old deals we still think about

    I got my pair of KEF R5 for 1000€ total, while they normally sell for 1200€ (each!) in Germany. Couldn't believe my luck! BTW, it was sold as an individual speaker for 500 by some Mediamarkt store. I took a chance to buy the single speaker (stock was 1), and soon after another listing from the...

    Macbook Pro - 16GB vs 32GB RAM (unified memory)

    I recently got a 8gb M1 Mac mini and I was worried the RAM might not be enough. So far I have not seen any performance issues doing some heavy multitasking (no editing though). You really should not apply the same standards regarding RAM in M1 machines as compared to Windows computers.

    Noisy Purifi amplifiers

    It's funny to find this thread now, because I got the same model monoblocks from Audiophonics very recently and noticed the same problem yesterday. I could even hear the irregular crackling noise from my listening position. But later I concluded that this strong interference was caused by the...

    Wrap speakers in dampening material?

    Hello there, the directivity of a speaker as we know is a big contributor to its overall sound. When treating a listening room, there seems to be a general consensus that it is preferable to minimize early reflections from front/side walls, because these reflections can be very colored in FR...

    Looking for science-based instructions on setting up audio systems

    Thanks for all the interesting contributions. I did not have time to go through all of them yet, though, but I'm sure this will help others as well.

    Neumann KH120 for living room?

    Sorry, I have not listened to either of these speakers, nor do I want to push you towards passive speakers, although the Elacs seem to have a good reputation/test on this forum. Concerning your second question, I am looking for such a guide as well, just getting into the sub game...

    Neumann KH120 for living room?

    Hello Gurkerl, I currently use a pair of KH120 in a rectangular room that is 25m² with tall ceilings (3,7m). I have quite a bit of furniture in here (bed, sofa, tall bookshelf, warderobe, etc.), but it is still quite a reverberant room due to the tall walls. My setup is nearfield at the desk...
