Re: My new hifi journey

A fine little piece of jewelry arrived yesterday in the form a Hana ML cart, this one being the low output variant. While there are more exotic looking carts out there, the Hana is still a beautifully crafted piece of work. This is the first cart I've bought in many years, actually its the first pro...

Re: Building some speakers

Great work Fran. Going by the pictures I think they look better than the Audioplan Kontrasts. I really like the way you can position the tweeter angle. I suspect there will be a long queue outside your gaff to hear these.

Re: Building some speakers

Lovely work Fran. I'd love to get a listen to them sometime. Some of the characteristics you mentioned above sound very similar to the Audioplans - a narrowish sweet spot and a very nimble bass. Out of interest do you test/tune them with valve or solid state based components ?

Re: My new hifi journey

So made the trip down to Cloney's recently to trade in the old Stax setup for the new SRM-006ts Valve Energiser and LR-700 headphones. Hadn't been down that way in several years so it was nice to be back in the shop checking out some very nice equipment. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/500027060...
