The Greater Ottawa and Environs DIY Audio 2016 Get together.

I had a awesome time! It was great to hear all the different systems and certainly made me long for some better speakers (and more space)

Thanks for everyone who helped organize and everyone who lugged their rather large systems for us to drool over!

I'm sad I missed that dac comparison.

I gotta say the most surprising highlight of the meetup for me was Pavlos's (sorry if I butchered that spelling) Nakamichi tape deck. I didn't know cassettes could sound that good - you could have easily fooled me into believing it was a CD or digital source!

a couple of people asked me about the USB isolater I used. This is the one I bought.

a different few folks asked about my preamp and if you don't know Owen / OPC here is a link to his projects. I used an older version of his headphone amp.

Where was the pot in relation to the head amp? Before, after or somewhere in the middle?

[Kravchenko_Audio]

Is there supposed to be a link with the:

inputs/selector switch/ pots/ chips ?

 

[Redshift187]

He's responding to my question about the preamp wiring

 

[Redshift187]

Dave: do you have a thread for your amp? I'm still running a chipamp and I think it may be the bottleneck in my system at the moment.

Now that makes sense!

Mark, Thanks for the music samples

 

[multisync]

Tyler, Owen is developing a chipamp + opamp both in the same feedback loop. You may wish to drop him a line.

 

[Kravchenko_Audio]

Mark, Thanks for the music samples

May not be everyone's cup of tea, but I had enough requests for copies.

This makes it pretty easy.

 

[Kravchenko_Audio]

I even slipped in a MP3.

John where did you get your attenuators?

 

[Kravchenko_Audio]

Did anybody get an actual attendance count?

We had quite a few people this year.

 

[Kravchenko_Audio]

Ron might have an idea. Or perhaps Pierre.

 

[Kravchenko_Audio]

I checked the impedance of my headphones. It looks like they are 24 ohms. To bad I forgot them at home when you guys brought all your nice cans for comparison.

I wish I could put this up on the first post,

Thanks Cal.

I didn't want to be a bother.

You guys have lot's to do as moderators in the first place.

When are we going to see you at one of these get togethers?
