| A DAC that ought to be better known: RME Teddy Pardo are made and sold direct out of Israel so I doubt with shipping they would do a return but the sBooster may be one from Upscale Audio that does. Can’t speak for the others but I’m sure they are close in performance. I chose the Teddy b... | |
| A DAC that ought to be better known: RME rtotchia, I suggest you try a different PS as you really have no claim to disqualify mine or others that have thrown out the stock switched supplies that come with the RME, Chord and others. You can call us nuts and it will be your loss, not mine.... | |
| Can a Bluesound Node 2i power supply really be upgraded? I’ve not come across anything for the Vault II, not IIi or might try it. I use a Teddy Pardo on my DAC and am I strong believer on power supplies... I’m a big fan of Walt Jung. I’m tempted to pop the case and see if it would be a simple affair. Ha... | |
| Anyone compare Tidal and Spotify Premium Sound? Have Spotify Premium for family plan, most my friends use it so we can share playlist and I use it a lot on bike rides. Moved over to Tidal HiFi which as you discovered sounds better but none of my friends use so I use both. Family plan not as che... | |
| Recommendations for reliable service of Audio Research or tube gear near Wisconsin? The Ref 3 should be fine for many, many more years to come. I wouldn’t worry about it especially since you’re not too far from them if you wanted to make the trip and shipping probably not too bad. Not to discredit a quality tech, but a preamp to ... | |
| Power regenerator vs conditioner I have an former PS Audio P5 and all components except my amp are running off from. The P5 made a noticeable improvement in my system and our power lines are fairly clean. My amp runs off a Nordost QB4 II with QV2 and QK1. The Nordost has its own ... | |
| Can a Bluesound Node 2i power supply really be upgraded? Question is, if you spend the money on the the new board and a quality linear power supply, are you adding $600 or more to it? Might be better to look at another option. I have a Vault 2 and I’m considering moving on to a Lumin U1 Mini, which I’d ... | |
| A DAC that ought to be better known: RME Teddy Pardo12V/2A with 2.1mm connector. The connector is not a locking type as with the stock switch PS, but it is a snug fit so no concern it will pull out over any other plug.Just added a Synergistic Research Orange fuse and too soon to tell. Wa... | |
| A DAC that ought to be better known: RME Add a linear external power supply and throw the switch one away. Something such as the Teddy Pardo will step it up to another level. No zippy sound whatsoever. Teddy delivered will run you $400 and worth every penny. | |

| Long power cable for subwoofer Build your own. 13AWG is probably heavy enough. I’ve used this wire and it punches well above its price.https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/power-cables/supra-lorad-2.5-power-cable-by-the-foot/For plugs these are very good for the money.http://w... | |
| Recommend a dac that contributes to system for tight bass True ladickinson, but if the source components can’t deliver the goods then it doesn’t matter when it gets to the amp and speakers. It’s clear as day that on my system with the same amp and speakers the bass is more extended using the DAC in my Ca... | |

| What’s the best tube for a Sonic Frontiers SFL-1 preamp Mullard 6201 I believe is what I used to run when I had a SFL 1, but that was sometime ago. Very nice preamp with the right tube and for the money. Sold the SFL 1 and moved to a ModWright SWL 9.0 SE which I liked much better. I recall the Mullards... | |
| recommendation for two prong power cable needed Or just build your own with VH Audio shielded twisted pair at $10.99 ft. As mentioned you only need to tie the braided shield to the wall plug, so back to the equipment it floats. You have to unbraid the shield back then re-twist to ground on wall... |
