hifix

G'day Barzy, DIY hifi / audio can be incredibly rewarding but unless you have good tremendous self control think twice thrice before getting into it. It can be a very slippery slope. I also wanted to try my hand at speaker building from a PE kit (c-notes) but just couldnt get my head around the relative shipping cost.

Hi Andyr, I like what you've put together. The fit and finish look good. Coincidentally, i have a friend with the "click" issue with his rotel gear. I'll forward the info on. Thanks for the feedback

Hi Andy, Would you be able to share some info regarding the isolation transformer and the hash filter ? Thanks

Well....

As soon i get some time... Its a 4.3 install & CRAAP settings for my main rig. If needed, the guys on the moode forum have also got the audiophonics power management script sorted for the latest release.

Have you considered Yuan Jing ? One of their amp boards were the flavour of the month some years back on other forums. The last time i checked, they didnt do speakers. I just read your post on AK.

Thanks 1200 man. Noted. 👍🏼

Very nice. I've wanted a pair of 1200's for some time...

I'm with this guy.

A TDA7297 with a less than ideal potentiometer.

The tributaries to the river of "must have" can meander through the fortitude of a mind given to compromise. The advertisers here have nothing to worry about.

I had a big knob once. Its now with AJ (on these forums)

Replied to your PM.

Hi Dave, I got started with hifi back in the 80s with throwing good money after bad ideas and impulse purchases. Don't be too bothered about what others consider Hi-Fi. Brand names and price are not always a reliable metric when it comes to sound quality of audio componentry. It was a leap of faith with getting rid of my commercial gear. At the back of my mind i was hopeful but uncertain if i could really voice individual components to a better standard than what i had. I am thankful for the help from DIY forum members (as it was uphil at times). It has been incredibly rewarding and if i had to do it all over again, i wouldnt change a thing. Since you've got the background, i say go for it! All the best in your journey.
