Forum HiFi Haven

I am ruined.

so does one actually exist? A true giant killer DAC at a Doorway price? So what price? I’m guess a maximum of $300 if we are to fit it into our $1000 system cost. Thoughts?

Since I started the Progressive Rock tunes, we need a place to post our general Rock tunes.....

After years of collecting parts for this project, I've finally received my last major component today! Some of you know about this project and a few of the parts have come from members of this and other forums. I'm notoriously slow in completing projects so I'm hoping that starting a thread will give me the added push to keep things moving along. Thanks for letting me share my excitement with you! Time to unpack and organize, more pictures and details soon.

Hi everyone! I'm a new entrant to the forum. A lovely redditor sent me to HiFi Haven and specifically to the All Things Stephens Trusonics thread from a post I made on reddit of my new speaker setup. A bit of context and backstory, last week I went to meet a Facebook Marketplace seller to buy some Klipsch CF-1s for my Living Room.

In this episode we visit Chicago repair tech Harley Rumentzas and listen to his dead stock KHorns. We discuss Paul Klipsch and his products and I show off some JBL potato masher lenses.

Here is a slight variation of the Eico HF-87. I had Matt at Musical Power Supplies wind me some 40W PP OPT's with 7.6k primaries and 40% UL taps. There were initially for a Williamson UL build, but I really like the great performance and simplicity of this "Mullard" LTP design.

Hey gang, This guy lived in MN and is now somewhere in WI. I am hearing multiple accounts of him taking gear in for repair and it disappearing from folks on facebook. Interestingly I actually met that Noah character who pulled the same crap up here when he lived near by me too. If somehow this all gets resolved I'll remove this post but BUYER BEWARE. There are plenty of reputable audio repair folks around my area. Hopefully this will prevent someone from getting conned. Evan

Hi All, Not sure if this is the right thread, if not could this be moved to the correct one.

I can take some photos of it if need be but i am just trying to give it to someone as a project to clean up/use for... Read more
