| 110 (or 120) vs 220 @220 flows on the same number of wires 120v uses one hot and one neutral. 220v uses 2 hot and no neutral. You might be thinking of 3 phase120 and 220 is single phaseAlan | |
| Audio player software for MQA I use MQA with JRiver 21 to an explorer2 dac and it works fine. I am using a macbook pro.In JRiver settings select integer mode, Bitstreaming-none, Volume leveling offShould workAlan | |
| USB Disruptor Is the Real Deal The device that has made the biggest improvement in sound in my system is the Itona gavonic isolater. Nothing elese comes closeAlan | |
| Tidal equivalent for Classical? Naxos owns ClassicsonlinehdGreat site for classical music fans The also stream some albums in 24/96 and 24/192. Works greatAlan | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC You said it yourself. If you want fabulous get the Vac. If you want very nice get the Rowland. Vac amps are pretty much plug and playAlan | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC I have heard the vac integrated at length and it is a great amp. I also prefer tubes over ss for the WilsonsAlan | |
| Hum from dac? Probably the power transformer. If you can try tighting it downAlan | |
| Stylus cleaner Been using the Last cleaner forever. Works greatAlan | |
| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? Our last meeting of our audio club had a pair of beautiful DQ-10s and they sounded great. I believe we drove them with an old receiver. Not sure of the power. Really brought back memoriesAlan | |
| Elevating subwoofer about two feet off the floor I have my small sunfire sub sitting on a speaker stand. It definitely improved performance. A big heavy sub will be a challenge to get off the floor but if you can do it it will helpAlan | |
| USB Disruptor Is the Real Deal The disrutor in my system did nothing. The Regen with outboard power supply is better | |
| Performer-in-Room Quality with Speakers? My Maggies do what you are looking for (3.6's). The source equipment is critical. I use all tubes. Also speaker placement is critical. I use the LiMage/HK setup. Electrostatics like Martin Logan can be very real but again need the right equipment... | |
| Forward or laid back The setup For my 3.6's is called the Limage/hk setup. You can do a search for more info.Alan | |
| Forward or laid back HM1 You are rightI come home from my live symphony concerts and turn on the stereo and marvel how close the sound is to the live event. By the way I use Maggie 3.6's setup so the speakers literally disappear from the room. It is much easier to hea... |
