THE ORRONOCO AUDIO DIY

Somehow, as an audiophile, my satisfaction is when setting up the equipment for cheap but the result are beyond expectation. This phenomenal is first came on late 90's when the retail electronic store in the United States sell the in-house brand portable CD player, the Radio Shack CD-3400, resulting this cheap portable CD player (actually it is sold at US$ 179 at that time) play CD audio in very good sound quality. I don't have one but after that phenomenon, is there any others audio components that have high quality audio while they are actually sells as a general consumer product? Let's find out.

My F5 amplifier already sold last week. The buyer really happy with it. He said to me that the Cyrus amplifier he have could not even match in the term of sound quality to this F5. For sure, he is not average audiophile. One of his speakers is using the Audio Note and most of his gear are vacuum tube based amplifier. His cables prices are certainly more than my F5 amplifier. Not really surprise for me that the F5 amplifier designer is a master and nothing you could do more to make it even better. Sadly now I don't have any amplifier in my system yet. The reason I sold it just because I cannot stand with the heat of class A amplifier.  That is why, this Tripath amplifier will become my experimental project.
