Good enough? Leave it alone! 2x6spds 01/15/25 01:46 AM
The Fosi ZA3 monobloc amps ($300 for 2) sure opened my eyes. I have some nose bleed expensive equipment, a system in every room, and the ZA3s (even better with Sparkos 3602 opamp upgrades) are just wonderful.

$300 amps, a Pure Audio Lotus5 DAC, $850 used, a pair of Dahlquist DQM905 speakers, $60, and this is one terrific sounding system.

Always looking for something better. So, I have a system with Harbeth 30.2 ($7000) speakers, a Line Magnetic 845ia integrated amp ($4900) a Denon DP45f turntable ($300 used) with a $169 Goldring E3 cartridge. Sounded great. Looked great.

OK, so I was willing to pay a bit for improved sound quality. Bought a Hana ML mc cartridge. ($1200) Couldn't adjust the tonearm height, so it didn't fit. Didn't want to return the cart, so I bought a Technics 1210G, fitted the Hana.

Does it sound better than the $300 Denon and $169 Goldring cartridge? Maybe a little, not sure.

I wish I had left good enough alone!

As to the Fosi amps, what an eye opener. I could have saved a boatload of money on the amps and put all that money in speakers, or DAC, etc.

Re: 20 Year Old M80's Compared to Current Model 2x6spds 01/13/25 07:17 AM
I have a pair of M22V2s in egg shell white, cute, which I use with an 8 watt per channel single end triode tube amp to test FM receivers. I use it with a giant SVS 20-39 subwoofer of approximately the same vintage. The M22V2s sound great. They are in my bedroom, a good sized and well damped room. Never heard the the M22V4s.

Re: Itunes File Transfer Question rrlev 01/11/25 11:08 AM
0ne way of transferring a lot of data from one Mac to another is to put one into target mode (rebooting while holding the “T’ key). Then it acts like a disk drive after logging in. Goggle it.

Wire the iMac to an aux input via a 3.5 mm jack to RCA (stereo) cable. Length must be under 20 feet to prevent high frequency degradation.

Re: FOSI ZA3 MONOBLOCKS - GOOD! 2x6spds 01/10/25 08:18 PM
Follow up on the Fosi ZA3 monoblocs.

I've tried them with the Michaura M66s and the Dahlquist DQM905s. The 905s have a richer sound, gorgeous midrange. The M66s are very nice, a bit leaner.

What is remarkable for a pair of ~$150 amps is their true timbre, attack and decay. Folks these things are the best kind of audio joke.

The Sparkos 3602 op amps and Gregor's Polish dual op amps have arrived. Audio nuts are coming over later. We'll listen to the DQM905s and then the Harbeth 30.2 Anniversaries with the stock op amps.

Then we'll do some swapping. Should be fun.

Re: Stereo Sources 2x6spds 12/29/24 04:07 PM
Hi Kodiak

Yes, I think a tube preamplifier would be a good idea.

I'm waiting for a Cary clone tube preamp from Aliexpress.

Russian audio reviewers on YouTube love it. Will report back. Cost about $300 with shipping and tax. It takes 4 x 12au7 tubes. I have a quad of Telefunkens waiting, each one cost more than the preamp. Should be interesting!

Re: Who is the best person to buy proxies from? Myrl 12/28/24 12:20 PM
I would advise you to consider Proxy Seller - https://gologin.com/best-proxy-server-services/proxy-seller/ . It has more than 220 GEOs to choose from, thanks to which you can create an almost infinite number of accounts on any resources where it is not allowed to do it from one ip address, and you will not be blocked for it, because they simply can not track you and consider your actions as a violation of the rules.

Re: I'd Like to See Axiom ... rrlev 12/21/24 04:34 PM
I assume that the main driver of the new version has to do with the “drawer” idea of swappable crossovers and electronics. Manufacture a single box for each speaker version and provide user exchangeable plug-in’s for conventional, amped, or wireless. This makes a lot of sense since the next step is to go completely digital straight to the speaker … just another plug-in option

I’m sure if there are improvement to be had sound-wise that they are about getting closer to Axioms target curves … I.e. the same profile that v4 was going for …
