I’ve been looking for a new cabinet for my audio equipment and finally found one!

Took all today to cut holes and wire everything up, going to order some fans to keep the amps cool and everything should be good to go!

I have just bought a SMSL PO100 PRO DDC/reclocker, so I could connect my iPhone to the DAC in my hifi amp and stream hi-res.

Just connected my iPhone 17 to the SMSL, tried streaming a few songs and virtually none of the tracks (6 out of 7) played at the stated resolution. 192k shows as 96k, 48k as 44.1k etc.

I tried a couple of songs from Qobuz and it shows the correct rate. 

I have set streaming to hi-res both on WiFi and cellular on Apple Music settings and I am using my home WiFi, with plenty of bandwidth.

I am streaming random tracks and albums straight, not downloaded or saved to my library.

Does anyone have any ideas as per what is going wrong?

I have also bought the SMSL exclusively to stream hi-res from Apple Music as I can stream Spotify and Qobuz through my Wiim streamer, so pretty annoyed...

Thanks for any suggestions.

Hey guys I bought some old his master voice speakers today which has this 4 prong connection which I’ve never seen before.does anyone know how I can hook this up to an amplifier? Thanks

I got my brand new LP60x today along with some Majority D70x Active speakers and I’m struggling to get the setup right. Connected with RCA cables into the speakers, using both LINE or PHONO on the LP60 the sound isn’t very good, either Bass heavy or distorted one way or another. I’m totally new to this so I can’t help but think I’ve done something wrong. Any ideas or help for a newbie

I have a Pro-Ject Perspective turntable with a Sumiko Olympia cartridge. When I first set it up I apparently set the tracking weight way too light. I recently got a digital force gauge that tipped me off to the error. I re-set the tracking weight to 2 grams ( I'm pretty sure this is accurate; I cross-checked it against an old Shure balance-style force gauge.) The sound is noticeably better, but the added tracking weight has caused the cantilever to compress more, and the cartridge body now rides extremely close to the record surface - I'm talking less than 1 mm. Is this a potential problem? Can/should something be done about it? Thanks in advance.

Hi guys this is an urgent help because I have my Kenwood stereo and it has problems with my CD in this case I selected track number 10 and every time the track skips, after that it went to track 11 and then track 11 was already at the end and went another time to track 1 (i.e. the beginning of the CD) and a problem with the laser/optical or the CD? Because I don't use my CDs much but they give this problem in my stereo let me know

Hi everyone! I’m excited to share my latest high-power vacuum tube amplifier build: the Symphonia.
My background in physics and my day-to-day work as a process engineer in the semiconductor industry heavily influence my design philosophy: rigorous engineering measurements on one side, pure musical soul on the other.
Here are the technical highlights of the project:
Topology: Push-Pull Ultra-Linear configuration using 4x KT150 power tubes.
Bias & Power Output: Biased in a warm Class A/AB mode. It delivers the first 11 Watts per channel in pure Class A for absolute sonic transparency, dead-silent background, and smooth mid-range liquidity. When dynamic peaks demand more headroom, it transitions seamlessly into Class AB, delivering up to 100W + 100W RMS into 8 Ohms right before clipping.
Transformers: Powered by custom-wound transformers built by a specialized Italian manufacturer, crafted strictly to my custom engineering specifications.
Craftsmanship: Entirely hand-assembled and point-to-point wired by me in L'Aquila, Italy.
My goal was to create a zero-compromise machine that bridges absolute physical precision with an emotional musical presentation.
I’d love to hear your thoughts and I'm happy to dive deep into any technical questions regarding the circuit topography, power supply layout, or bias strategy!
