Tír Na HiFi

Thanks very much Fran for a great afternoon, which I would love to have stretched into the evening, was it not for family duties. Had some great chat (very useful advice more like) and was amazed by the sound and DIY skills of both systems. Inspirational!

Hmm... a somewhat disappointing trip to Cloney. They didn't really have a lot to show off and seemed reluctant to hook up the rDac in comparison to Cyrus CD6se. Anyways it only confirms the unfortunate awkward (yet polite) dealings I have had with them in the past. Noel thought I should come back in...

Just pour some milk on a bowl of rice krispies and you're sorted. I know where you live Simon :-~ You'll never take me alive. Claus, do you get the impression that CD replay has made huge leaps forward in recent years? I don't, but I am happy to stand corrected. In any case, consider second-hand. A...

Great suggestions guys. Thanks! Resolution Audio looks like some piece of kit! But at 6000$ probably out of my reach (despite bailout etc.). Looking forward to a hifi weekend!

Thanks Fran, I have been given the green light for your function as well. So it will be very interesting, although hard to compare on very different systems I suspect. I was tempted to ask for a loan of the rDAC and bring it along on Sunday. I would like to see how it would fare against you DIY effo...

Saturday morning is first day in the hunt for "new digital front end". Cloney get the first shot at coming up with the goods, as I got the green light from the Minister of Finance (wife) to make an investment. I am willing to let myself be surprised and go with my ears more than with hype....

Sounds great! Count me in (sans LFT-8s this time ;) )

Claus – I wonder have we reached that stage in life where at least I never expected to be. I remember when I was younger listening to music and my parents muttering “What’s that noise, that’s not music, .....” and saying to myself “I’ll never be like that ....”. Yet by and large here I am . Perhap...

All I can say is, I sort of hope you haven't been hit by the same bug that hit me... I just couldn't listen to new music anymore. I think it has to do with the production maybe, or just the sound that is in "fashion". I tried the Arcade Fire and liked it but got very tired of it very quick...

Fran! WOW! I do wonder where you get the time to finish these projects so quickly. Just a bit jealous... Looks fantastic and bet it sounds great too. I would love another set of LFT-8's but I suspect that would be the end of my marriage! ;) Dubber: Great gear! Sorry thought it looked like a Roadhous...
