Chord Dave and lInear power supply

I had been using Chord Dave and Mscaler for 3 years.

 

I installed linear power supply by Farad which cost me around 3k Euros including three separate power supplies.

 

 

Wow it is worth every penny.

 

I get more clear separation of each instrument with more tuneful bass.

 

Also slight sibilance is  gone.

 

It is Dave +. after modification.

 

If you own Dave, you had better try it.

 

The installation is rather handy.

 

You need to follow instruction.

Mattijs is great.  He will ship your DAVE supply in multiple boxes because mine got tied up in customs because of the listed value.  The single power supply for the M-scaler flew through customs.

Mine also got tied up at US custom for a week.

 

But it was worth the wait.

For those of you who have the new Farad upgraded DAVE, what power cords are you using with it?

Thanks

The only issue I have and other I have spoken with is the few failures with a horrible 1 year warranty most others 3-5 year , 

Teddy pardo may not be quite as refined but close and has a Very solid 3 year warranty , that gives one much more confidence.

Farad LPs is still sensitive to EMI noise.

 

When I have above 60 $ unit in front of Farad, Dave’s sound got much fuller and cleaner.

 

It also works well with my Margules tube pre to similar effect.
