Damn, the first Omicron infection was a joke, the second is like being hit by a truck. 2 days down, only just got off the couch. May 24, 2022

  Seems like the time for it. My father in law passed in the early hours of this morning at 91 years of age. A gentle man, a course well run.

  Looking at ORFAS AIOs: Bricasti M3(h), Mola-Mola Tambaqui, dCS Bartok. DAC SQ primary, HP secondary. What else should be on my radar?

    I think the auralic stuff is supposed to be good, that's what yg acoustics is using in their 50k speaker with steamer built in

    I seem to remember Audio-gd DAC-19 having a steamer built in too...

    The DCS Bartok is the best AIO I've heard but holy shit the price. It really blew me away though.
    
    There is also the Rupert Neve Fidelice DAC that Torq is a big fan of.

  So, this is about as good as I can get my room with no treatment. I'm pretty happy.

    Robbi, have you tried putting a curtain for the window on the front wall? I find that covering the hard surfaces with soft materials, help to solidify the phantom center image.
    
    Aug 9, 2020
  5. GoodEnoughGear
    There is actually a blind there that's out of sight - the window is very tall, reaching all the way to the 3.3m ceiling! There's also the awesome bass trap of opening the window. I do plan on a curtain and some acoustic treatment, but just wanted to dial in as much as possible in the un-treated state first.

  Consistency in testing is reassuring. Made some solid improvements to positioning and monitor trim using Sonarworks this afternoon.

  Got a Pioneer NC-50DAB AIO for the B&Ws in the living room. Great utility for $400 and family love the sound. Simple non-audiophile win.

  Just moved in to our new place and I finally have my dedicated office/listening room. Sounds better than I hoped even with no treatment.

  LG V60 is huge, but that second screen is actually pretty damn useful. I'll get to the audio this weekend vs V30 and maybe BW2 and DAC1541.

  I hear it's getting tense in L.A. (and I presume elsewhere too). You folks all stay safe if you're involved or not.

  Lockdown has required opening the first bottle of the formal whisky collection. Precisely ten years to the day of the date purchased.

  Fuck. We can run again as of May 1st. I'm a barefoot runner and just dislocated my frigging toe. Popped it back in, we'll see. Dammit.

    Now the avatar makes sense. I'm also a barefoot runner. I've done a half marathon barefoot and would like to do a full marathon one day.
    
    Since you are in South Africa I assume you are a fan of Zola Budd?

  3. GoodEnoughGear
    Hey CSpirou, nice to see another barefooter on here! Yeah, Zola's an icon, though I came to barefoot running my own roundbout way. I'm also half marathon material, but I just don't have the time to train properly for a full. Also I find foot impact rises significantly with speed for me - I can happily do 21.1 at 6:30 pace, but cracking the two-hour mark is about what I can manage before my feet become the limiter.

    No, a local amp builder since I'm in South Africa. I doubt Craig would have much interest in servicing a BW though, I think that's ancient history for him now.
