Re: Tinker, Tailor, Streamer, Pi.

I've become a bit cynical in my thinking about all the add-on / add-in filters / clocks, jitter busters etc. That's not to knock anyone's experience and opinion, but I do wonder how so many very expensive streamers and dacs could have been 'broken' until the addition of another 'magic box'. It's beg...

Re: Doc modding Marantz imperial 7

Polystone planters are crap. They aren't even square and the finish is discoloured in places. Not even acceptable as planters, very disappointing. They are going back :roll: Talking to my wife has narrowed options down for me. She would like them in 100 % wood. Well, I am not really bothered to be ...

Re: AP10H+ Questions

Were I to order, what would the lead time be? Thanks. PS. The standard AP10H is in stock - can be with you next week. It is more than enough for 95% of users. If you have 'very difficult' headphones, though, then the + version will give you extra headroom (no pun intended). Which headphones are you...

Re: AP10H+ Questions

Thanks for the link, I hadn't seen that. A nice review. In the little grey box on the 3rd page the reviewer raised an issue of 'unusually high output impedance' but didn't suggest what the cause or impact may be. Can you explain? Were I to order, what would the lead time be? Thanks. Remember the st...

Re: AP10H+ Questions

We've sold 2 AP10H+ sets but neither owner is on the forum. Did you see the Hi-Fi World review of the standard AP10H? If not, here's the link: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0104/9647/5187/files/NVA_AP10H_HFW_Dec20.pdf?v=1605018485 The AP10H+ is, effectively, the same as the Jammy Special that Do...

Re: Terminitus

Pareto. This is a good theory. With hifi I would add that there is a difference between better and just different. This difference is the hardest to discern and I'm of the opinion that the vast majority of post i read on various fora forget this distinction. Difference is hmmm. Better is OMG. In ot...
