| Who buy PS AUDIO ? I’m super happy with my DSD Sr. with the Bridge streamer. Pre-purchase it went head to head with a Chord Hugo TT2 which was fantastic but, sans preamp, the DSD had more body and drive. It replaced a Mytek Brookyn DAC+ which wasn’t too shabby. I tr... | |
| Can you put a Krell in an apartment? I had Krell 750 MCx's in an apartment back in the day with WATT/Puppy 6s and two REL Stentors. I split a 240v wall heater circuit and bypassed the thermostat. They were on separate legs of the AC but sounded great nonetheless. They ran hot so I di... | |
| Audiophile Receptacle question The Synergistic Blue duplex is outstanding. A significant improvement over the SR Black which, in turn, is much better than the Shunyata or the PS Audio. 30 day free trial. Not too much break in time needed. Ask me how I know... | |
| ... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY? Synergistic Research Atmosphere Level 2 (x2), Blue HC (x2) | |

| What equipment have you bought this year so far ? A pair of Synergistic Research Atmosphere Level 2 AC cords and a pair of Blue fuses for my tube mono amps.Breathtaking... | |
| New speakers? No thanks. Thank you for not saying "the wife." Probably a little part of why she's open to you pursuing your passion, something she seems to enjoy as well. Good on ya... | |
| Alternatives to Stillpoints Amazon. I think this is it:https://www.amazon.com/HIMALAID-Himalayan-Serving-Naturally-Provides/dp/B07L3BLLHH/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UT...It's 12 x x 8 x 2 so it's footprint is a bit smaller than the amps. | |
| Alternatives to Stillpoints I like Herbie's products across the board and use the iso cups and balls under my Primaluna mono blocks to great effect (on Himalayan salt block platforms). | |
| MQA is Legit! I actually use it and really like it. Tidal via Bluesound Node 2 to Mytek Brooklyn+ MQA DAC/Pre. 90% of the time I prefer it to 16/44, even from SSD to Bryston BDP-2 to Mytek. Don't over think it, don't be political, just listen and see what you l... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Bangor Flying Circus was a Chicago rock-jazz band in the early seventies. Their version of Norwegian Wood on their eponymous album was pretty great. | |
| How much would I lose going to a Bluesound Node 2i mahler123 What I like about the Bluesound app is that you can easily navigate between your library of ripped files and Tidal (and whatever other streaming resources you might use). It's automatically grabs the album artwork. The Node 2 automatical... | |
| What unknown musical artist would you like to share with your fellow audiophiles? Let me suggest the band Cotton Jones, and later albums by the lead dude Michael Nau. Great melodic pop... | |
| How much would I lose going to a Bluesound Node 2i I'm running Tidal and an SSD with AIFF files into a Node 2 and then into a Mytek DAC+ via spdif and, as decent as the Node 2's DAC is, going through the Mytek's DAC sounds way better, especially on MQA files.Used in this configuration, it pretty m... |
