| An Audio Conversation with ChatGPT This all reads like an advertisement for high efficiency speakers and low output amps: large power supplies generate more noise and stronger electric fields. So rather than muscle amps first Watt focus seems the better approach. | |
| ARE SUPER EXPENSIVE STREAMERS REALLY WORTH IT This thread started in the right place: clean power and optimal clocking are the most important ingredients of a good system. Clocking unfortunately comes in various flavours: incoming signal, whether ethernet or fibre, streamer output to DDC or ... | |
| What are people using to upgrade from Channel D Pure Music to play from iTunes I changed from Puremusic on a tuned Mac Mini to InnuOS Zenith Mk3 on now Sense 3 five years ago. Never looked back, SQ is night and day. | |
| Power conditioners and power regeneration …a splatter crapper? | |
| Power conditioners and power regeneration @ghdprentice tut,tut,tut… Seems he‘s been barely getting here….And his contribution isn‘t much to talk about either….oh well…. | |
| ADD Powr Products opinions please. @ozzy Have you tried it plugged into the Niagara directly? That’s how I use it on my Isotek. No complaints on excessive presence | |
| ADD Powr Products opinions please. I do indeed. The Symphony Pro sits below my Etherregen which sits behind an LHY ocxo swith and 3 Ehrenet Isolators in series. Not sure how much rhe Symphony Pro contributes | |
| ADD Powr Products opinions please. Symphony pro and Eau2 here and I concur with your view. I have the Eau2 onmy Isotek Vision and the Symphony pro in the shelf under dac and streamer. It‘s staying where it is and bang for the buck is superb. | |
| Replace tubes yearly? One can only marvel at the occasional nonsense spouted by the industry greats: small signal tubes especially but even the venerable 300b were designed for >20000 Hours of service. So even if you were stupid enough to keep them permanently power... | |
| Neat "Tweaks" to improve the SQ of your streamed music!!! Just to add: I added the iSilencer between the wall outlet and the modem/router rather than on the router output. It requires RJ11 to RJ45 conversion and back but is well woth the effort. | |
| Neat "Tweaks" to improve the SQ of your streamed music!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3xQjQhdGUw a good and fair review, The recommendation to use on the modem/router agrees with my own experience having tried modem, streamer and switch. In terms of value for money this is very high up there | |
| It Pegged the Needle on My "BS Meter". Now, I'm A Believer. Ever Happen to You? @tomic601 +1 | |
| Ethernet @mikhailark you need to read up on this: fiber does not suffer from the noise incursions I highlighted but from noise generated during ethernet to fibre conversion. The problem isn’t that packets get truncated or don’t get there at all; it’s tha... | |
| Ethernet @mikhailark audio isn’t digital since analogue noise messes with the subsequent D/A signal conversion; i.e. RMI/EFI or ground level noise matter in audio, not digital. | |
| Let's talk about Silver... @erik_squires methinks your argument is best summarized as: compensating one weakness by another doesn’t work and you end up chasing your tail. With that I agree wholeheartedly. good cables are short and well-shielded and that’s about all you ca... |
