| Weiss 501 upgrade to 4ch They should have just called it the 501/502 mk2 instead of this 2ch-4ch business. Too confusing. | |
| Testing Ethernet switch @mgrif104 Hans Beekhuyzen measured it. You dismissed it as irrelevant. Yet, it is there. You believe it cannot impact the sound quality and it’s possible you’re correct. But, you disallow for the possibility that you are not correct. There is n... | |
| Blog: Upgrade Inductors with Care I find it interesting that Rockport, which don’t skimp on price when building their speakers, don’t use foil inductors. They claim they do not sound as good as perfect lay coil inductors. Anytime I every upgraded my speakers or built a kit pair, ... | |
| High Fidelity Cables? @raysmtb1 You are not ’well aware’ of anything. Virtual Dynamics was started in the late 90’s. He specifically closed it in 2010 to pursue the magnetic tech which had investor money and many patents behind it. He could have just continued VD until... | |
| High Fidelity Cables? @raysmtb1 Every company develops new lines of products that they claim is better than the last. Why is it bad this time? You are just being irrational. | |
| High Fidelity Cables? @tranchautuan I did check the facebook page and it seems there is two other people, one of which got their money back from VISA chargeback. So there is 2 people (including you) out of pocket. Not good at all, but this unfortunately can happen when... | |
| Any point in upgrading stock cables for a LPS? As @blisshifi said the streamer seems to benefit the most from an LPS upgrade so do that first. Also, not every LPS works so well for every application, for example network hardware seems to prefer 'fast' LPS power supplies, not ones with large c... | |
| High Fidelity Cables? This is the first actual case of someone claiming they are owed money from HFC’s abrupt shutdown, and it was for a cable upgrade. If its legit I am sure Rick will come good on this. I too have the HFC CT-1 UR interconnects. I do not know how clos... | |
| Audiophile-grade ground rod? My question is what’s the optimum audiophile fill material to surround a pure copper earth rod? This Bentonite clay slurry or something else? I just got a 6 foot pure copper earth rod and have no chance of hammering it through the rock under the ... | |
| Audiophile-grade ground rod? If you lived in North Dakota you could run a ground line out to a fracking well and connect to the 2 mile deep pipework. Blackest background ever. | |
| Timbernation Platform Problems You are right, my bad. I had the semi gloss finish done, not full gloss. Its just right IMO. | |
| Update on good Ethernet switch LHY now has the SW-6. Despite the lower product numbering this sits between the SW-8 and SW-10 and I believe it will even be superior to the later because its not repurposing cheap commercial switch hardware - it's a custom board design. To my kn... | |
| WiFi Streaming Versus An Ethernet Cable Connection If you have standard network gear there is usually no difference between Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If you have decent audiophile network hardware, low noise LPS e.t.c then ethernet pulls ahead and can be noticeably better. I think the whole jitter/recl... | |
| Timbernation Platform Problems My entire rack system is 2" thick Timbernation maple platforms. Done in a beautiful matt gloss finish. But I always wondered if birch ply would sound better? | |
| Anyone tired a Nordost QB4 MK III? Reporting back.... the mk3 bass is much better and more defined, and the soundstage has opened up. The differences between the mk2 and mk3 are subtle, but IMO worth the money. I now have the mk2 for sale. I will also try out the new WAVE and SINE... |
