September 28, 2011 Scot Hull 6

My aftermarket stands for the Magneplanar 3.7 arrived yesterday, courtesy of Grant VanderMye of Mye Sound. Okay, ignoring the clutter on the floor (yep, still waiting on AudiAV to deliver on the last few parts […]

AudiogoN PSA: Mohawk155 is a luser

September 28, 2011 Scot Hull Comments Off on AudiogoN PSA: Mohawk155 is a luser

Attempted to sell something on AudiogoN, and this user made an offer. I accepted and 48 hours later he backed out. 48 hours after that, he was back, with an even lower offer. I accepted […]

On the bench: Playback Designs MPS-5 w/ USB-X

September 22, 2011 Scot Hull 7

First Pass 9/22/11 I’ve been told, repeatedly and with great authority, that the Playback Designs MPS-5 is the best DAC available. Full stop. And yes, that includes the $80k dCS stack. True? Well, I can’t […]

Contender: Lampizator Level 4 DAC with USB

September 14, 2011 Scot Hull 2

A friend of mine (who also happens to be an audio dealer) mentioned in passing that it’s an odd name for a piece of gear. I mean, really. Lampizator? What the hell? I’m sure there’s […]

Sold the Alpha: now what?

September 5, 2011 Scot Hull Comments Off on Sold the Alpha: now what?

I sold my Alpha. I’m still not really sure why. It’s complicated. But — it’s gone and I have the cash in hand. The HRT Streamer II+ is standing in for now (and doing a […]

State of the tweak: Fiddling with my Magnepan 3.7s

September 1, 2011 Scot Hull 4

Ok, ordered some Dueland resistors (two 2R 10w, wound together, per speaker) — or rather, re-ordered some Duelands. The problem? The leads were too short to simply insert them into the tweeter attenuation port. D’oh! […]
