What’s next up on the docket for you?


What has been either your fav or your most interesting system or…
Which audio outfit was your best… or which one would you like most to have on hand soon?

Maybe you’ve thought of building a server based system. Perhaps putting together a Flea watt rig has your attention now. Could it be tubes front to back that you’re eyeing as the next project you’ll get into? Is the new digital amp arena piqued your curiosity? Finally decided to get into an all analog rig now? Thought of going to planar, maybe bi or di-pole speakers next instead of cones? Monitor & subs perhaps? Could it be that owning Active speakers has finally given you sufficient enough intrigue? Want to own membership in the lot’s o’ watts club next? Bent on going retro and now Vintage pieces allure you most? Finally decided to fill out your HT system with dedicated separates? Found a contractor to build your ultimate listening room now? Finally going to add those acoustical treatments you’ve been putting off doing for so long?

I’m curious to get some inkling of which scenario you have found thus far your best built system overall, your most interesting learning experience, and/or your next totally different direction, if so, you’ll soon be striving to put together, or would if you could?

S.E.T. has had my attention for some time now and of the various types of rigs I’vd be most interested in putting together it would be one of those. Albeit, on a small scale. Stereo amp & monitors. Something absolutely fat & wet sounding.

Acoustical room treatments too are in the works for me now. Mainly bass traps first. Diffusers will be next. All DIY too.

How about you? What’s your next audio interest or build looking like more and more, one you’d wish to pursue if at all possible?

Congrats.

I'm sure a better screen would be a large step up, or at very least a very good one.

I have a mind which wanders a lot on which item stepped up would be the best thing. I also recall having such notions prior to getting what I have now.

I have regrettably a glass ceiling which permits little further indulgences audio or video wise, so I’ve begun amassing libraries for each. I’ve found several notable discs thus far on both sides of the coin, and believe that will continue. Consequently I’ve been listening and viewing more… but mostly on the smaller HD screen instead. It’s just simpler and easier a thing to do.

So which speakers did you settle on? What color/finish?

Given my predicament/ability, the shorter version of the Ulysses would be tops for me were I to go with Lou’s products. His comments too were in part that the Dodd amps I have would be a great fit for either set. He also mentioned at least one other makers tube amps which were not a viable or at least not good fit given his exp in pairing with them at shows.

Congrats

15wpc! that's a good bit for a 2a3 mono amp isn't it? Hope it all brings you the reproduction you seek.

Thom who owns Galibier tunrtables and sells Atmasphere bought the show pair from RMAF this year and has run them with the 60's. the system impedance is not an issue because it is so flat.

the Ulysses and smaller DA-RMa are very similar in sound. the considerable difference between the two at RMAF this year was quite a statement about how much room is part of the sound. the large room sucks bass and so the speaker sounded a bit thin and sterile, while the smaller room has too much bass loading and the smaller speaker sounded a bit bloated. very different! but if you heard them side by side you'd be surprised at how similar they sound.

thanks,
lou
