| I have found out why new cables and tweaks actually work! If you cook the swiffer in your microwave the added ionic charge will increase the feeling of motion in any dance music you listen to. Only works on 1200 Watts microwaves without an earth wire, though. Beware of your hair standing up when you take... | |
| What is the most important cable in your system @Kota1 I have a dedicated spur and use a whole range of power cleaning equipment from Acoustic Revive, Akiko Audio, Furutech,Isotek et al. AddPowr was the latest addition. It made a major contribution in what I‘d like to describe of the flow of t... | |
| What is the most important cable in your system In a good streaming system it’s the Ethernet cable between switch/filter and streamer. Btw, a lot of analogue cables benefit from the Schroeder method of doubling up. This particularly applies between Dac and preamp/amp. | |
| USB yet again @designsfx I am not aware of any SPDif connections faster than 192KHz, conversely double AES/EBU can run at 384MHz | |
| USB yet again @sns my point, precisely. I also steuggle with dependence on cables and cleaned up power | |
| AES/EBU vs XLR cables for digital connection @jerryg123 On Ethernet: Pink Faun. On USB: Intona | |
| USB yet again @itsjustme technically speaking it slaves the server’s clock, i.e. data is requested by the dac rather than the server sending it on its own clock. I stated that SPDif is speed constrained, not AES/EBU. | |
| USB yet again @fuzztone care to be less opaque and dismissive? | |
| USB yet again @lalitk agree with your assessment. It seems though pretty damning that both on Ethernet and USB even on high end equipment you have to engage in extensive optimisation efforts before you get a decent result. As I said the single box solution ... | |
| AES/EBU vs XLR cables for digital connection May I suggest you try the USB connection? Properly implemented asynchronous USB has the advantage of using the Dac’s clock on the streamer, I.e. the dac times the arrival of data rather than having to buffer and decode the embedded clock signal. I... | |
| When were the best tube amps made? In terms of engineering brilliance and sheer transparency, timbre and attack Nobu Shishido’s Wavac designs are unequalled in my mind | |
| When were the best tube amps made? and an honorable mention to the OTL crowd: Futterman, Graaf, Ralph Carsten and Dave Berning | |
| When were the best tube amps made? The best amps were made when Japanese thoroughness joined American ingenuity: think Wavac, Shindo, Yamamoto, Kondo and nowadays Allnic, Zanden and Luxman | |
| The best plug in filter ever! This looks similar to Add Powr’s Eau2 or Eau4 as well as Stein Music’s Quantum5 | |
| Combination streamer and music server…without DAC @8th-note my streaming sounds better than my InnuOS Zenith Mk3 SSD. That may be a function of ripping. |
