@ Ivan and Carlo: The cabinet Double Bass Reflex plans were already with my friend, a carpentry hobbyist. But before that I modify and got some design esp.the port flare from Omega Super 5 XRS. It's a little bit risky, coz, it's an experiment to combine ML TL of Omega and Double Bass Reflex design. The only difference is the port size and type.
We'll see if what will be the SQ after its completion within 2-3 weeks. I still use the Bose HVC from Carlo. Btw, I just want to inform all newbies on tripath amp to please break in at least 200 hours your tripath amp. It's too early to judge its SQ and performance if you haven't finish the proper break in period. My Dayton DTA 1 was at first thin sounding. But now even without the tweaks I made, the SQ of Dayton DTA 1 got better after the long break in period.
Here are the results after 200 hours break in period: (It's not a myth)
1. Sibilance was gone.
2. Soundstage became wider compared to the soundstage at 1st hour which was small.
3. Better clarity than fresh from the box. You almost hear everything in the CD recording such as, silent but clear conversation of the musicians while playing and others such as coughing, the "ehem" sound before the vocalist started to sing esp.during live session. Of course, you can't hear what I heard if the tripath amp is NOT properly match with your speakers (ideal is 25-30W RMS with sensitivity of 94db +) and also, your speakers must have better xover or no xover (pointsource type speakers/single driver). The speaker cabinet if D.I.Y must also be good.
As per experience, I am happy and satisfied with tripath amps esp.with TA 2024 chip (ANALOG SOUNDING). Amazing. I left Tube amp and Solid State for the SQ and performance of Tripath. The details and clarity of tripath are better on my ears. Though, dynamic of a well designed Solid State and rawness/decay of a well designed Tube amp are still the best.
Thus, enjoy music and have an open mind to accept new design/technology in 2ch audio, as long as the SQ is good or better than our audio gears and as long as it is analog sounding (like vinyl).
