Thanks man…oh man… really flattered by your words.
Do share yours. I’m trying to make a great thread here. Hopefully we will see some great inspiration here for all. Enjoy and thanks for dropping by👍🏻

I hadn’t heard of the Vamos dry cabinets. As someone who lives in a very dusty place, they are a great option at a very reasonable price.

(And congrats on your setup!)

Thanks man :+1:t2:,

I think this Vamos is some China OEM brands, basically there are many same generic type and function ones out there. I bought it from my local online store around 70USD.

Very useful indeed, especially in a country of 80% humidity average daily.

The Joy of Music in Surround…

While my Wife was away recently visiting family, I had the rare opportunity to get some time on the big system in the living room. The main component is an old Onkyo TX-SR444 7.1 surround AV receiver with the full spread of JBL Exx speakers including the venerable E90 mains and a Sony 10" 100W active sub. Absolutely incredible for TV and movies, but I never felt this setup was very musical, and that bothered me a little. Over time I started working on it to improve the situation. Something told me that Onkyo had more to give, and I had some spare parts to offer. here’s a pick of the main pieces:

First, I broke out my old SU-8 V2 DAC and integrated it into the system. This brought an incredible improvement in audio performance straight away. Not just for the TV, it allows me to make the Denon CD player a digital transport. Then I pulled out a Wyrd for Sound Recovery USB reclocker and an audio Qwest Cinnamon USB cable which allows use of my LG V40 as a Hi-Res streamer. Before I was just using the V40’s Bluetooth and paired it with the amp. It was very convenient, and it sounded good, but this new configuration is a remarkable improvement.

And the really nice surprise, I started digging into the amp itself and have discovered it to be very capable with respect to setting the sound field and fine tuning the sound. The net result is a listening experience that frankly I find captivating. Listening to music in full surround is a blast! AMHD has certain selections in Dolby Atmos that are freaky good on this setup! This is now a legit Hi-Fi system. A great little project and a fantastic result. everything old is new again. I love it.
