EtherREGEN: The long development thread. [Some Gen2 dev. pics and update starting on page 92.]

Well, being a Welles nut ... I’m now gonna get 2x ERs.

[jamesg11]

Continuing the OT ... my expectation, now ingrained after endless confirmations, is that better psu etc will only provide marginal upside with low-medium DR etc - the listening fatigue kicks in early!

[jamesg11]

So, you’re finding DR5s to be on your ok mastering quality map? Any Iggy Pop DR0s as well?

I’m now well OT & therefore out.

[jamesg11]

Any implications ... re Sonore optical devices ...?

[jamesg11]

Or await the lps1.3!!

[jamesg11]

No probs - I’ll continue to use the lps-1 on the isoregen, continuing to be astonished at how I always prefer the sonics with it as the last input to the dac. Getting the RME ADI-2 in a few days & I’ll see if it still holds true for that, for me.

 

Have I developed an odd form of ‘regen’ addiction ...?

[jamesg11]

Alex, does it overly complicate matters if other orders are included in this ether regen batch (ie lps-2) or is it just easier to order separately ...?

Ah but then it’s time to tune the room itself.  Of late, while awaiting the EtherREGEN, that’s what I’ve been doing. It’s a fairly consequential aspect of getting the most out of our systems I’m afraid. 

I know, I know, ... but it’s a major learning curve for those of us with little experience of it ... been looking at HQP’s convolution, bought myself a umik1 mic, collecting guides, maybe all-too-hard ... but it’s still gonna sound better with the etherRegen in there!

Hmm, that’d be 2am here ...
