I second this. And it's actually kind of comforting to know that Ash spent so much time seeking out the ideal sound in headphones and speakers and uses all GS products to do so.

I use what gets the job done. GS products are trustworthy and reliable. I combined the expertise of different specialists to get the best result I could. I am still refining but I am most of the way there already.

well that’s scary. What will you do when you arrive at your destination?

Well I'm keeping the Majestic and will buy Enigma PSU1 for it soon. That is definitely finalised. I am pretty sure I will stay with Proprius for driving MySphere rather than buying Solo ULDE with Enigma PSU1. I could try a loan of ULDE with Enigma and Lautus interconnects but I think it will be a waste of money, as I highly doubt any improvement would be heard over the Proprius. Proprius are true dual-mono and can process both a balanced signal and an inverted signal, which Solo can't do. I think this is more significant than having a linear micro-signal power supply at the amp level. Having the Enigma at micro-signal level (Majestic circuitry) will improve the resolution carried forward for amplification. I could try Libran interconnects between Majestic and Proprius instead of my current Lautus-R3 but over short cable distances, I doubt the balanced Libran will be better than the unbalanced 1.5m inverted phase Lautus with its ferrites. Would be close I think but not conclusive. Might upgrade earpads on my MySphere to further improve low bass dB SPL. Then it is just my source to sort; I need to have a simple, dedicated, wired streamer with no fans and a dedicated linear low noise PSU to compliment the Enigma. I just want minimal excellence.

Now this, THIS, is why I spend so much money on high fidelity audio equipment!

Now that I have a big desk back (rejoice, a decent one now), I can get back to business as I have a safe space to lay all my equipment out and keep it set up for longer term listening tests. Pink Faun S/PDIF card works great but can't say if it sounds better than my motherboard USB yet as it is powered by the "noisy" PC switching supply until I obtain a dedicated linear supply. It doesn't sound worse than USB though and I can use this PCIe card with any computer that offers hardware access to PCIe lanes, unlike a Pi HAT that needs a 40-pin GPIO connector, restricting its versatility. Next things to be addressed are:
1. Soundcard power supply 2. Majestic PSU1 upgrade to Enigma 3. Bass pad upgrade for MySphere to further increase dB SPL of lowest bass frequencies 4. PC power supply upgrade, maybe... 5. If I implement my Alpair 11MS speaker drivers, Spatia cables will be added to the list. Shall be experimenting with various sizes of cardboard box. Anyway, for now... |
