Hello! My name is Lowell, that's pronounced like lowl or lole ...or lol. 🙂 Actually, it's supposed to be two syllables, like "low-wuhl," but it's an uncommon name and I can decide how I want it said! My name has English and French roots, meaning "wolf pup" or "dear prince" bahaha.
Anyway, I've been in the DIY audio scene since 2010, mostly on head-fi and the Bottlehead forums. My alias on those forums is "larcenasb," so if you look that up you'll see some of my build guides and photos of various builds. I realized recently however that this is a forum I should belong to. 🙂
My main listening setups are as follows...
Trusty, no-nonsense daily driver: JDS Labs ODAC -> DIY Objective2 amp kit by JDS Labs -> Focal Elex
Solid-state supreme: Chord Mojo 1 -> Rebel Audio RebelAmp -> AKG K501 or Senn HD 800 S
Tube glory: Chord Mojo 1 -> DIY fully-modded Bottlehead Crackatwoa -> AKG K240 Sextett MP or Senn HD 800 S
High-value synergistic heaven: AudioQuest DragonFly v1.0 -> DIY fully-modded Bottlehead Crack w/ RCA 6AS7G & RCA VT-231 or 6F8G -> AKG K240 Sextett MP w/ Brainwavz hybrid angled oval pads
Main speaker setup: JVC QL-A5 w/ Denon DL-110 -> Acurus P10 phono preamp -> Yamaha CR-1020 -> Falcon x MoFi LS3/5a on vintage Target UK stands + REL Britannia B3 sub
And I just built an Elekit TU-8850SE that I'll post about after this. Hope to see many of your builds and ideas. Cheers and happy listening!
