| cable break in phono stage to preamp Provided you have a CD player that uses the same connector (RCA or XLR) I suggest you put your cable there for break in. The phono stage produces almost no output unless you play an LP and allow the signal to pass through to the preamp.CD players ... | |
| Do You Use USB for Streaming? Excellent post Williewonka, I can see where this could help. Like Arh, my Allnic D5000 DAC does not depend on the USB to power but you are on to something by locating this. | |

| Purist Audio - Maximus Interconnects & Jumpers If your Maximus cable is Rev A or Rev B it should have arrows pointing in the direction of signal flow. If it's the oldest version it might have a small star at the source end.In any case it would be on the band surrounding the cable as mentioned ... | |
| Purist Audio - Maximus Interconnects & Jumpers There should be a band around the Purist cable indicating the name, serial number and possibly the revision. That band should go toward the source.Maximus is rather old but a very beautiful and musical presentation. It will require a few days to s... | |
