Osborn Epitome towers including 2 bass unit subwoofers. These speakers have the performance to emotionally move you. Multiple global award winning performance speakers. Hand built in Melbourne utilising the Focal K2 drivers, and very high end crossover components. I dare say they'll likely increase in value when Mr Osborn sadly soon retires. 25 watts of decent quality tube amplification is all you need and you're laughing. The driver's remain pristine, they've lived in a corner of a room away from direct sunlight, that is always temperature controlled. Few cabinet scuffs as to be expected, but nothing major. Osborn bi-amping speaker cables included, as well as Osborn cables to the 2 subwoofers. Sorry for lack of bass unit photos, I will post more pics of them later, they're in good condition. Demo is welcome if you can BYO amplifier. I have a streamer / dac as a source we can use. Bring your muscles, a truck or trailer and a friend to help load these bad boys - They're 75kg towers and 45kg subwoofers made from the finest Australian speaker engineer. -

HDMI cable for 12S output / input
Deestay replied to Deestay's topic in Ethernet & Networking for Audio
Thanks again @muon*!! The wiim ultra came with a short hdmi cable, I plugged it in and the DSD light came on DDC right away, and the 24 bit 4x light on my Denafrips lit up instantly No pin reconfiguration needed on the I2S input on the Denafrips Background is a shade darker, and treble is further detached from the speakers now. Going to listen for a few hours, and then change the dac connection over to optical to do an A/B test so I can taste the snake oil -
HDMI cable for 12S output / input
Deestay replied to Deestay's topic in Ethernet & Networking for Audio
@muon* Thanks! The Denafrips 12S input has adjustable configuration so should be fine. -
Hi gang. I'm picking up a Wiim ultra streamer tomorrow, planning to run the streamers usb output into Duok xmos digital converter, then from Duok I2S output to my Denafrips Venus DAC I2S input Am I ok to use a standard hdmi cable from the Duok I2S output to the Denafrips DAC 12S input? Thanks

Streamer recommendations plz 🙏
Deestay replied to Deestay's topic in Digital Sources, DACs, and Computer Audio
Thanks mate. Budget for streamer will be around $3k to $4k. Will Roon provide a upgrade in sound quality? Or if I buy a decent enough streamer should I be ok? I'm willing to get Ethernet cable installed for better SQ. I'm quite patient and want to do it right, regardless of cost or work required. (I have $25,000 worth of amp, dac and speakers, so I don't want to short-change their source component) The Denafrips Venus II 12th -1 dac takes 12s input, I know everyone has been raving about its capabilities. Thanks Snoopy! (And Sooty if he's about)- 8 replies

Hi all, I've put together a nice system and its come time to upgrade my streamer. I have Audio Research i50 tube amp running Osborn Epitome floorstanders, through a Denafrips Venus 12-1 DAC. (All purchased through Stereonet, met some wonderful people thank you!!) I use Tidal as my streaming service, but only currently using an entry level Wiim Pro Plus streamer as a "makeshift" until funds allow for an upgrade. Was thinking along the lines of a Lumin or similar, but don't have Ethernet connection near my rack. Any recommendations on quality streamer? And if I sign up to Roon will I see significant increase in sound quality? All advice is greatly appreciated

Willsenton R8 class AB push pull tube amp 24 watts per channel, in good condition and perfect working order. Won multiple amplifier of the year awards. Selling to fund upgrade. Brand new power tubes with only 4 hours use (receipt for tubes will be provided). Tube cage and remote included of course. Only used 3 hours per week when wife and kid are not home. Apologies there's no box or receipt, but demo is available to show you what this little champion can do. Slightly negotiable on price and shipping arrangements on case by case basis. (Weight is 22kg) -
Thanks again to everyone for your info! Some really helpful info guys, cheers! As important as the upgrade of my components - I am renovating my 6m x 6m basement into a dedicated listening room. With my system currently in our main living room it's stifled by reflections, I'll-positioned speakers and lack of breathing space. I can't wait to get the most out of this system and have my own space of audio nirvana Happy listening to all.....!

@muon* Absolutely. Especially since the Willsenton dealer refused to let me demo it with my own speakers. The smaller R8 I've run for past two years has been great for $2300 though, but with Osborn Epitomes and Denafrips pontus ii DAC - It's the weak link in the chain

Gotta be honest - I A/B the Consonance Cyber 880i against the Willsenton R8 - The had slightly better bass control and that was it. Good amp, not worth double the investment.
