Tír Na HiFi

Isn't it ironic the thread about the lack of " Forum participation of late" is the most active we've seen for a while, now going onto the third page in 2 days! Do people feel uncomfortable posting, many members here have probably been active here since the cloney audio forum days and have ...

For me it was the pioneer pre/power c90/m90 Loved the look and still do even though I'm not really into the retro look. I remember every now and then going into the hifi shop in Cork city during the mid to late 80s staring at them and then one day they were gone! http://www.audiocostruzioni.com/r_s/...

Out of interest did any owners hung there dev to the wall?

I think that's mad as kinda cool and modern not sure if I'd do it myself as you should see the nails I used to put up my framed pictures not great at DIY 8)

Personally, I don't believe all the hype with Devialet - I'm sure there are other great amps and DACs out there, not least the AR and Lampizator. I did consider the latter briefly, but I decided that I wanted to get rid of multiple boxes, power cables and interconnects, and still have decent sound....

Devils in the detail you need to get the lampizator so we can all come over and have a critical listen. What level Lampy are you thinking about? Thinking of the level 4 and even received an offer of a loaner if I can get a dev to compare with in my own house. The seller says there's one in Ireland ...

I'm still thinking of getting a 110 or buying a Lampizator dac.

A member of the wam said he tried the devialet against his audio research setup with the dac and ended up getting the dac.

But I guess I can't go wrong with either one.

Wow congrats Dave!

Didn't know you pulled the trigger, I might go over sometime next month for a demo through a sonos.

If it sounds good even through a sonos playing normal flacs I'll be very tempted.

Oops didn't know the devialet doesn't work from a sever! That's strange I thought the air module is a streamer like the standalones. Really don't want to run a pc while listening but I could use my sonos but that doesn't do hi-res downloads which was partially why I wanted to upgrade. Think I'll giv...

The outputs are quoted as "2x110 Watts under 6Ω" whereas usually at 8Ω Usually you see amps quoted at 8 , 6 and maybe 4 forgive my ignorance but is there any implications? Congrats KenMoran and did you pick the 170 over the 110 because of the sound difference or the better spec. Looking fo...

Be interested in DaveF second opinion on this, if both you guys are impressed I guess it can be really regarded as high end. Hopefully if I (somehow) afford one it's going to last me a very very long time. Diapason from your write up I take it you didn't try connecting to a server or pc as that woul...
