Hi all!
I've been a member for a couple of years now, it occured to me i havent introduced myself yet 🙂
I dont have much electronical knowledge, but i do love thinkering alot and love to take stuff apart and improve it! Mostly i search this forum for diy solutions and upgrades.
i now own a cute little chinese tube amp, the audioromy FU29, which use the russian GU29 tubes. i've replaced most of the capacitors and did some tube rolling.
For speakers i currently own the cabasse sloop M4 speakers, with upgraded capacitors in the XO. these are 94db efficient and have a really nice balanced sound. they have a 12 inch woofer, and a sealed enclosure and the bass reproduction is extremely clean, detailed and fast. They do really well on jazz and blues recordings, not so great on modern day bass heavy music, but i will take that trade off any day of the week!
I mostly stream my music form an iFi zenstream to a nice chinese dac, the xiangsheng DAC 05B, which uses dual AKM 4495's, has a tube buffer and sounds alot better then its 500$ pricetag might suggest. i replaced the opamps with descrete opamps from korea, the audiofeel OPA 401. I also changed the voltage regulators to linear low noise ones and replaced the PS and signal capacitors, aswell as the coupling caps.
I also own a Thorens TD125 MK2 turntable, completely stock, with a hagerman bugle phonoamp.
i have made all my interconnects myself, and now am looking into the world of AC filtering and try to learn more about that 🙂
I am always looking for the next thing to improve or adjust in my system, but also try to keep it low budget, as i have some other hobbies that are expensive and time consuming, but i would to built my own DIY speakers someday.
