The ultimate subjectivist system
What is it ? Is there a general consensus from people on HFS about which products are designed for the music and not the measurements and silly graphs ? Naturally, NVA products would be the top of the list but what about others. Royd, direct drive turntables, old Japanese amps............ I have bui...

which speakers for Doc mods ?
Hello,
I am interested in Doc modding some speakers.
What type of speaker is best suited to this ?
Small standmounted or floorstander
ported or sealed
I have a small pair of mordaunt short budget stand mounts but i think they are rear ported.
Thanks, Stu

Re: Transformers
I wouldn't put an EI on the output stage of a class AB power amp but preamps, phono stage, dac, clock, cdp anologue stage are all fair game for a bit of experimenting i feel. Hey even the regulated front end of my power amps can benefit from an EI transformer i am lead to believe.

Re: Transformers
So Doc, what makes you like toroids more than EI ?
Lower hum field ? Lower winding resistance ?

Re: Consumerism
Hope you enjoy your purchase.
I build my own or modify stuff now, well the things within my ability.
I have a lot of Avondale audio DIY modules and other diy kits which have given me hours of enjoyment building and listening. Saved a heap of cash too.

Transformers
Most of the gear i have owned has come with a torid. I have just acquired four lovely EI transformers to try instead of toroids. Can't wait to see what effect these will have on SQ. A year or two ago i used very small (5VA) pcb mount EI transformers for dac and clock supplies in my Naim CD player. W...

Re: Consumerism
Maybe it is a sign of age but i am only just over 40. How much money is too much ? A hard question to answer. Over £50k ? Social media - most people i know participate and must have been born with a smartphone in their hand. It must have an effect on consumerism. I don't even have a smartphone, my f...
