Hopefully it will be far better than those $30 cassette players offered on Amazon. If so, I'm definitely buying one. I still have about 300 recorded or prerecorded cassettes I love to play. The issue is that as far as I know, there's only one pretty lousy Chinese made cassette mechanism still in production today with fairly awful specs by Tanashin. We'll see how it turns out. Oh that just one company would field a GOOD cassette mechanism with the specs of a late 1990's mid-tier cassette deck.

As an Xmas present to me I have just bought a vintage Sansui AU 7700 amplifier and matching FM tuner, recapped and serviced. Im going through a vintage audio phase, and those Sansui machines from the 70s are incredible. More up to date, I recently picked up the Shanling EC mini transportable cd player and DAP/DAC which is a fantastic little device, similar to the Moondrop. Merry Xmas, all you Darkonauts.

I believe the Dennon devices take advantage of the idea that the outer hair cells in your ears move in response to sound to boost low to moderate intensity signals to your inner hair cells acting as a nonlinear cochlear amplifier. These movements from the outer hair cells can be recorded with sensitive microphones and are called otoacoustic emissions (OAEs). OAEs are used as part of a diagnostic work up or as part of a screening to measure and predict auditory system function. The idea is, healthy auditory systems tend to have larger OAEs and from a wider frequency range. Based on the intensity of the responses, you can adjust the audio signal to make a custom auditory profile, which is what Dennon is doing in this case. Pretty cool!

I jumped off of my wallet and treated myself to the Thieaudio Monarch MK III's. I was tempted to get the Meze Liric headphones, but IEMs just suit my use case so much better. The Monarch's being half the price did not hurt either. The sound is perfect for my listening taste, and I am hearing things in music that I have been listening to for upwards of 40 years that I have never heard before. These will be my go to for many years to come I think. Thanks for another year of great content, have a Merry Christmas.

@janwillemkuilenburg7561 6 ай бұрын

Another option is to not primarily buy stuff, but to take the time to recap the capacitors in your speakers if these are 15+ years. I mounted Mundorf Sup8 capacitors in my already top spec crossovers and the sound quality stepped up next level. Very rewarding to do this yourself.

@rosswarren436 6 ай бұрын

I keep wanting to do this with my old AR 9 speakers, but man, working inside the cabinet is going to be a pain. I might sell them "as is" instead to someone younger and more willing to do the work. Looking at the new JBL L100 Classic MKII as a replacement. The AR 9 were always a bit too big for my living room. Sure did love them though. But now, I worry about frying the tweeter due to how much out of spec the old electrolytic capacitors might be.

Hi John! Happy Holidays! This year I treated myself with a wireless system - as a secondary one - composed of two Sonos One SL and one Sonos Sub Mini. I have to say that this system which is well under 1000 euros surprised me with its sound and power. Cheers, take care!

You don’t need money to be an audiophile. You just need to be aware shortcomings may exist in what you’re hearing and feel that better sound would bring you closer to subtleties in the artist’s message. Just moving a piece can provide a satisfying experience.

One item that is in my opinion very good and it goes for about $200 a pair are the JBL Control Pro 1 speakers, I use them as my desktop speakers and they sound amazing for my taste, dry and accurate (of course depending also on the amp used), exactly what I need for my desktop, nearfield listening experience.

Great to see hearing correction making it into the list with the Denon PerL. I think it is time personalized listening moved away from hardware-dongles and stopped using the standard lossy hearing correction DSP. The missing audiophile solution is about to be introduced and works with all the gear you already own, including the Denon PerL. It is software-based, works on desktop & mobile, and is waiting for you and every music lover to audition. Let me know when you are ready to hear the difference.

I totally get your choice of the Cambridge Audio network streamer. But for me with simpler needs, I’m very happy with the NAD CS1 for $150 less than the CA. Setup & use couldn’t be easier with Ethernet connection. I simply control my listening via Tidal connection; my partner, Spotify connect. And yes, it looks way better than the WiiM products. 👍🏻

I made by myself a christmas present in buying a new amplifier for my system 🙂, intentionally I was in the market for (a pair?) a subwoofer, but my mind changed when I heard the small test rig standing there. It consists of some brands I´ve never heard before ( Audio Group Denmark ), an I-180 from Aavik, LS-cables from Ansuz and a pair of wonderful Boerrensen Z1 cryo 😮. Well the pricetags are nothing for the faint hearted, but the sound was mindblowing! So the decission was made and one cornerstone of my new system is since 2 weeks the I-280 amplifier from Aavik and the finger is on the trigger for these wonderful Z1 speakers, but I have to sleep some more nights to come to my final conclusion.

In October I picked up the IE200 with foam tips and a DC03. I still find the fit weird, but otherwise no complaints. Is there a widget for headphones so I can put them in my pocket without becoming tangled? Also, have you tried the foam tips for the Bose QC Ultra yet?

One of the gifts on the list that I'm intrigued by is the iFi 4.4 mm pentaconn to XLR cable. I recently got myself the actual xmas gift of a Hegel H190 amp and iFi Zen Phono stage, latter of which is now connected to the amp with regular RCA cables (solid quality I think). Now, would there be any audible benefit in the upgrade to a balanced connection between these two as the cable run is short?

Maybe a present/treat for me would be a cd player. A Project Box CD to sit alongside my half width MXN10, both feeding an old skool analogue Arcam A85. Perfectly happy with the amp I bought 20 years ago, but now regretting selling the CD player.
