Obsessions

September 2nd, 2007 · No Comments

I’ve now been in my HIFI obsession mode for almost half a year. There’s always a new obsession around the corner. Maybe my next one will be photography again? I have these stints of interest for a specific area that is all consuming. Thankfully I have a very understanding wife.

I’m currently working on moving my homebuilt class-D amplifier to a new rack enclosure. So the kitchen is full of PCBs, connectors and tools. But it seems like I’m never going to get this amp finished. I was really annoyed with the amplifier, because I really need a remote for it. So I ordered a kit for a passive motor controlled Alps control. This time I have put in a lot of effort in getting all the wires as short as possible. So the volume control is sitting at the back of the amp and I’ve made a brass rod as an extension.

I also added a notch filter to my ProAc clones. First I was very happy with the sound, but after a couple of weeks, I realized that I got tired of listening to them after just 20 minutes. Well, turns out I had made one of the tweeter filters the wrong way, so now with the notch filter they finally sounds more to my preference. Success!
