You’re building an amazing system, keep up the good work!!! Bravo Pisano! ;-)

@@anadialog hihihi, sarai mica Livornese?! :D Some more Infos about the system ..The Ciare Pm200N it's a Pro audio speaker, 96db efficiency. A really fast speaker, gives sense of realism and immediacy. The pyramid shapes gives less diffraction issues from surfaces. Decoupling with rubber stripes highs and mids from lows is a good solution for preserve the qualities of the nice mid Ciare speaker. The system is currently working in bi-wiring, using two DIY bunches of cables for mid/high and a normal double 3mm cable for woofers. Internally all the structure has been reinforced for increase rigidity, the wiring has been doubled for every speaker seeking low cable resistance. The cross over has done with premium components. Despite mid level vintage amplifier and sources, speaker is the main character here. The rear Firing tweeter has the ability to give much depth to scene, while super Tw adds airiness to it. That was the goal thought in the project. The whole cabinet is decoupled from ground using four all black tennis ball which are cheap and well looking feet. Cherry on top is a Transflex 200-25 subwoofer (not present in the presentation I sent) designed by Luca Corso from Corso Audio System YT Chanel, capable to give 20hz.. Cheers

Ty for making me happy to be a single 😄

Thank you Robert! ☺️

Thanks! Please do!

Thnx, I love it. Every tape can be calibrated to sound as best as it can😊

Brilliant machine , I have a nakamichi but it’s definitely not a dragon 😊

@@Ricky-cl5bu They are all very good😊. Keep enjoying. I hunted the Dragon over years.

Send it over!

Just tried to send you my video. Looks like I can’t. No x instergram or Facebook. Never mind. All the best

No of course, I know that my statement is 100% unpopular but after all the hype I really was expecting more. Don’t take me wrong, as I said for the price it’s a great dac but compared to the Holo Audio May KTE and now my T+A D200 (which are three or four times for expensive) it’s just at the bottom of my list. Plus I had difficulties in using it to record to my decks because it has a very high output signal that distorted all my recordings.

@@anadialog first of all ty for your reply. To start with the reasons I like the RME and i have the non pro version which is build for Hifi use primarily is the absolute clarite, instrument seperation and neutrality of sound, which are the most important facts for Hifi gear in my opinion. You can run all kinds of headphones and the possibility to change the sound in case of need is better than you find in any other DAC/Amp. Depending on the headphone equilising can be very useful. I have a headphone which just sound good with equilising, ok others benefit less but its always good to hzave. Now we come to an important point. I looked the Dac you mentioned up and its around 6 times the price and just for a DAC and no headphone amp and i am sure, the Holo audio does not sound 12 times better with a headphone amp of same quality 😀😀 It might sound better and when you look at the price it should but 12 k is way above my budget, its not that I am not willing to pay so much its that my biography made my focus on science not money so 12 k is just out of any possibility. It seems to me that at least some self proclaimed audiophile seem to forget not everybody was born with a golden spoon in his mouth (no personal offense intended) ;P Last but not least there is the question of taste. I am happy that you as an analogue fan are not totally blind for digitalk qualities as some I must say ideology based folks are. I see some advantages in analogue recordings and there a tons of crappy digital ones the main resond mmight be they were recoreded when loudness war and other stupidities were at its peak but a modern DSD or other Hi Resrecording in a good mastering beat EVERY analogue and many CDs most analogue recording in my opinion. I strengthen this argument just for clarification because in my experience without this debates often pass each other. in the end enjoying the music for everybody should be the most important not showing of with Hifi gear or fighting ideologically based wars as some do and nobody really can win. So I wish everybody to enjoy the music, bye. P.S.: I am not recording with my device so I cannot comment on this and now I might put on a record to enjoy analogue sound 😃

@@anadialog maybe one last point beside many other disadvantages the noise floor of vinyl really bothers me a lot so even if a digital recording might be worse the quietness especially in silent passages and I listen mostly to Classic and Jazz and all this cracking and klicking during a Brandenburg concerto from Bach is just annoying. Ok and last but not least often I prefer streaming because sometimes I enjoy both listening to music and reading and its really no fun to get up every 20 minutes to change record.

@@anadialog sorry can't stop thinking about that now maybe an important hint is as well I hear mostly with my Hifiman HE 1000 se which is a very highly resolving planar magnetic headphone and shows you the flaw of a recording or the noise way before lets say an average dynamic speaker.

Thank YOU!

That first system is mine😊. The HD 308 mk2 where the last ones built in licence from H. Portscheller in Worms. The case was made in the Black Forest in CNC manor. As I remember the chassis where Wavecor as Mr. Portscheller told me because Isophon was no longer availlable. The sound really is in front of the speakers and the reproduction is very natural and true. If you have a bad vinyl or recording, you hear that. The speakers are built like an instrument, meening the corpus is swinging like the corpus of an instrument as Hans Deutsch ment it to be to make the most natural reproduction. The Horn Resonator increases the size of the the woofer, soundwise, so you get a deap and very fast base. If you close your eyes, you know that because you had such speakers, you think the speakers are much bigger. I ❤ them.

@@ju6452 The subjective impression that the music plays further forward than with other speakers was the reason why I stopped in front of this speaker, even though I wasn't actually looking for speakers.

@@TTVEaGMXde Yes, that‘s the kick. Had a lot of speakers from Celestion over Elac to Kef, but the HDs impressed me the most. Do you still have the Atl or did you sell them?

@@ju6452 I sold them in 1995 and haven't had a stereo system since then. The 1988 version is probably not the best, as the front veneer came up on the sides and the midrange speakers had significant cracks in the stabilizing varnish. Everything was fixed under warranty.

@@TTVEaGMXde Yeah, they had some problems those times. Mine are massiv cabins, so nothing to come up😁.

I did my room tour 3 times! Here is my last (clearly not updated): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j99_f66g0t-nZ2w.htmlsi=Vxx1SsZnIIcFPdxk

@@anadialog So is this the format that members should replicate? Is that the "design model" you would like viewers to follow?

Thanks for the submission!!

Perhaps you didn’t see my last one? Here it is and yes, a few things clearly changed: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j99_f66g0t-nZ2w.htmlsi=w07SPCVrsau0lgfY The speakers behind me: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hctmZ5SKt93Nc40.htmlsi=ls-aVyawgSJjmu7_

Thanks!

Thanks for your submission!!

@@anadialog I might be looking at something like the Holo audio cyan 2, have you heard that one?

By the way - your ADI has ESS Sabre or AKM chip oboard?

@@pytaniedodcf9230 it's the akm version

Recently, i tested S.M.S.L Dac model SU-9 Pro, which has Ess chip, i did not like the sound if this Dac it feels music is too dry dont matter what setting i keep and i have to sell it may because its not for me, another thing i tested Built in Dac usb or digital inputs etc ..of any high end cd player ie, Yamaha, Luxman IMO is much better made than separate Dac sound is more smoother not dry.

Send it over! I have several submissions in line but sooner or later all videos will be published (if correctly done and following the rules that are present in the video description)

Yes, had a DVD Player from that brand. Worked fine for years and they had some nice gear over the years. Was US brand founded 1953. Inkel from south Corea bought it in 1980. The Sel 300 was a decent runer from the 70s made in USA.

Or the S2400. Very cool tuner and costy(about 1000 DM, about 500€ today.

Mini disc is compressed so I never really got into it. DAT I actually do have but never did a video…maybe in the future

@@anadialog with hi-md you had the fully pcm signal rate of 1,4 Mbit/s, so I made my cd sampler on hi-md without any audible loss. In the mid and end 90s you where the man with hi-md.

Well, I am appreciating and criticizing when I know the component, which I admit aren’t many. The awards are given to outstanding HIfi gear, whether I like or not (as the integrated Mac, I would never get that, not even as a gift).

I do, it’s a disease! ;-) Each one has a feature that makes different/better recordings or playback

Absolutely not! I completely disagree. Any system is worth exploring and may be of interest to many.

I think you might be the minority here, I like the vintage and "odd duck" stuff you don't see every day. Self built speakers are cool! That is how some of us got started in the hobby. How do you define "high end"? It is too vague of a term in my opinion to exclude someone. Someone who is passionate about sound is all I ask, and you're in the club.
