USBe Perfect

According to Walter it doesn’t matter which direction is used. Confusing though since there are arrows and directions pointing in and out...

steakster, Thanks for the update.

2 questions for you ’all.

1. Has anyone tried the USBe Perfect in both directions? Does the direction really matter? To me it doesn't seem to.

2. Has anyone tried 2 of them, one on each usb cable end? I just purchased another to try that way.

willywonka,

Yes, I think it would.

Well, I just got my second USBe Perfect. Now I have one on each end of my usb cable from my Hard Drive to my Lumin.

First listen, and best I can describe is there is an additional benefit.

So, if the first one at the hard drive was at about 75% the second one at the Lumin added about another 25%.

ozzy

Sorry, I misspoke. It was not a 25% jump in overall performance. I was trying to compare the difference between using just one and then adding a second. The second one was perhaps 1/4 of the performance improvement compared to just using one. It is probably a total of 5-10% in overall performance gains. Which is still significant.

Next, I'm going to try them back-to-back rather than at both ends.

ozzy

I have not been able to get the back-to-back USBe Perfects to work at the hard drive. I was able to get the back-to-back to work at the Lumin end, however. Which seems strange...

To me, (at this point) I believe it sounds better with the USBe Perfect used at both ends of the cable.

BTW, adding a Synergistic tuning (purple) dot on the usb cable at the hard drive is also an improvement.

What I have noticed with using 2 of the USBe Perfects and one SR purple dot that the soundstage widened and deepened even more. I couldn't believe it could get any better. There seems to be way more distance between instruments and singers.

Yesterday, I listened to Bruce Springsteen- Dancing in the dark and for the first time I could make out all of the lyrics!

steakster,

Are you connecting one into the other or one on each end?
