Greetings from Pantai Timur. Your recent review of AA Audio Streamer prompted me to write to you. I have been making and selling DIY Speaker (and occasional IC) cables on eBay since 2017 as a hobby. As you know, Malaysian audio community and reviewers usually do not "layan" DIY cables. I would really appreciate if you are kind enough to listen to my humble effort. You may be surprised.
BTW, I am an avid reader of your forum on things related to streaming. I also share some your experiences (PC, Notebooks, Netbooks and now commercial streaming) although I am on the budget side of the hill. Bravo on your blog and your mouth-watering system!
Thank you. I just sent you an email to say Hello 👋
Hello again, my email is probably in your Spam folder.Thank you, Muhsin.
Greetings @PolkCobraFan. Yes.... you are right. Main review platforms in Malaysia usually do not review DIY-ers. I personally have done so many of these although I like to call it custom made rather than DIY.
Whic part of Pantai Timur? As I am heading to Cherating/Kemaman soon.
How do you find the Hifi Rose 150 till now? Any itch to upgrade perhaps? Do you use it more as a source cf the TT or CDP? Secondly, the IC that you use, have you tried other makers e.g Analysis Plus et al
Saiful... I have yet to change my streamer purely due to HiFiRose stability and flexibility to handle all major streaming platforms, the SSD I installed and loaded with songs and easy enough to be detectted on my my mobile phone. Sound quality wise, I am listening via an external DAC to improve the sound and also I play around with ROON MUSE. I am still looking for a streamer that is as stable as Hifirose but no luck yet. My digital set up is mostly used for doing reviews and background music. Serious listening session is usually on TT. On IC, this 2021 set ip is a bit outdated. My cables now are full Ansuz cables.
Wow Ansuz cabling! How does it cf with your prior Siltech? Have you ever tried vDH? Or Analysis Plus? I have Analysis Plus Golden Ovals but they’re old now for my main system but need to get new IC for my second bedroom system and thinking of vDH or something similar to go with the vDH The Inspiration speaker cables. Ansuz is from where bro? Jazakallah kathiran
What power cords do you use Sir? I saw there’s now RS151 released this month
Last one bro; what do you think of Triangle Comete 40th Anniversary to replace Focal Chorus 807V in second system? I see you’ve reviewed Triangle speakers. Cheers in advance. S
Have you updated your system since then?
Saiful... my power cord is Ansuz too.
Siltech was good when I was using ProAc speakers. VDH interconnects were in my system as well. Usually I will change cabling when I change speakers to find the right balance.
