| Spectral DMA 400 initial impressions The Spectral press release claims the new DMA 400 is a huge breakthrough. Only subtle differenced compared to a 360s2 ?? | |
| Amazing Upgrade for Oppo 93/103 and CA Players Nice find Acostas, I just ordered one to try out.I just hope its real Mundorf silver/gold wire. I have used that wire before to jump fuses and it works very well on the power side of things. | |
| Amazing Upgrade for Oppo 93/103 and CA Players The linear power supply is 5 screws and some plugs. You can always.... ahem, swap the old power supply back in if you have to. | |
| Amazing Upgrade for Oppo 93/103 and CA Players okay... amazing for the money, $280. I am getting much better sound from this linear power supply than the external DAC's I had of a similar price rnage such as the Bifrost and Audio-GD.Mechans, I have no financial interest. This mob is based out ... | |
| Feedback on the current Reference 3a changes ? I have a pair of the new DeCapo's. I cannot compare them to earlier versions, but do not let the BE tweeter put you off. These sound nothing like the Focal BE speakers which had harsh highs I really did not like.But the last time I listened to the... | |
| Fuses that matter. slow-blow vs fast-blo?We all know fuses do make a difference (at least those commenting here). And I presume most of us -when we say fuse upgrade- are buying slow-blo.But what if its fast-blo fuses that are best? Putting aside what the manual says... | |
| My HRT Music Streamer HD DAC is a game changer I just read that hi-fi+ review and was wondering if he was over the top by saying it could keep in Bricasti and dCS company.Unusually with these budget dac's they just say its good for the money - but he was very enthusiastic, and Alan Sircom is n... | |
| World's best Pre-amp for $10K and above? Podeschi I'm sure you must be intrigued to try the Hegel H20/H30 amps as well.Any plans for that? Or will throwing out all the tubes at once be too much too quickly? | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I can't wait to hear the CT-1E speaker cables. I have some come coming very soon.....The CT-1E speaker cables have an inline magnetic module, like on the Ultimate IC's, but apparently not as powerful. | |
| Ref 3A Dulcets vs Vapor sound Well I have not heard either of them, but the Vapor Breeze is only $1300, has a RAAL ribbon tweeter, and supposedly get 85-90% of the Cirrus sound, just lacking is powerful bass.Most speakers at/around $1500 are junk. If I was in this price range ... | |
| Fuses that matter. Yes I think you are right Norm. Even when I don't think the fuse is directional, I still put it with writing as the direction due to my audiophile OCD tendancies.But with the SR when direction was changed I could hear it easily. I would not say it... | |
| Square waves or 1's and 0's? Its not sending an exact square wave, but it sends the signal as an analog waveform.So anyone who says 'square wave' is about 1000x more accurate than the person who says 1s & 0s. | |
| Fuses that matter. I also think the SR fuses are the best. And they are definately directional, unlike some of the other fuses where I could not tell a difference by reversing them. | |
| Fuses that matter. I have had the AMR, Audio Magic Liquid and now SR fuses. In my opinion the best fuse was....... no fuse.For DAC's, pre-amps and optical players you are better off jumping the fuse, always. I have never had to replace a blown fuse in low voltage eq... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz The CT-1 is uber detailed, highly resolved and has amazing clarity - but at the same time it sounds smooth and non-digital.It sound contradictory I know. But this is the magic that Rick Scultz has managed to come up with.For the first time I would... |
