| From Benz to? I am running both a Benz variant, the Scheu-MC and a Zyx Universe. The Benz is nice and has a lot of jump factor, in terms of fine detail, spatial resolution and timbre the Zyx is clearly superior. | |
| Go Cat8! @steakster, mine is your No.3 | |
| Stay grounded Amp, dac and Etherregen are grounded to the common ground via the earth point of the power conditioner. As this didn‘t work for the server, I experimented with the AR device and liked the result. | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... While amp circuits may lead to very similar outcomes there are vast differences in power supplies. And Ralphs argument on differential harmonics between Tubes and SS certainly concurs with what I hear | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... Anyone who as ever listened to a world class amplifier knows that this discussion is baloney. | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... I guess calling yourself an audiophile when you refuse to trust your ears is a bit of a misnomer🧐 | |
| 2019 300B tubes that are worth the money? The most solid 300b tube in my experience is the EAT. I have the Takatsuki as well, good sound but less solid construction. The EAT tubes are not well known but highly recommended | |
| Go Cat8! @emailists, I am glad you enjoy the little tweak. Like you I keep marvelling at how little we still know about digital sound transmission and how spending not very much can have such good effect. Enjoy the music | |
| Let me end the Premp/Amplifier sound debate ... Why limit yourself to amp/preamp. While certainly not ‘ending the debate’ the same applies to in no particular order: dacs, cartridges, streamers, cd-players … The acknowledged measurements of performance are at best a limited subset of parameters... | |
| Doping your fuse box @ozzy the cylindrical cartridge should be installed by a qualified electrician. The fuse box pro goes on the unified ground rail where there is no live current, hence I did it myself. The effects are very significant in my setup: I have both sit... | |
| 12v linear power supply I cannot overemphasize the importance of power supplies. I started with an Antelope Zodiac Gold, then added a Voltikus power supply. Upgrading to a Zodiac Platinum with an upgraded Volikus power supply brought the next quantum leap. It ll really c... | |
| Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it? Any power connection needs one fuse and one circuit breaker ( double fail protection) Start by getting rid of additional fuses (e.g. UK power plugs) or additional fuses on circuit boards. Don’t get rid of fuses altogether lest you like sparks and ... | |
| 12v linear power supply Zero Zone Ss2021. High quality torroidal with a large bank of capacitors, i.e. very stable and safely controlled. I use it to drive my Etherrregen and am very pleased with the performance. Spend what’s left of your $300 on a good fuse and power co... | |
| MAT - platter material, thickness/ resonant frequency - thoughts please Rim and belt drives only work with the inertia of very heavy platters, DD‘s tend to be light for obvious reasons. My best results come from a very heavy acrylic platter with a Verus rimdrive. I use a Millenium carbon fibre mat and clamp with carb... | |
| RMI/EFI remedy from Acoustic Revive I am not a physiscist but they are active rather than passive devices generating electromagnetic fields from a coil and therby neutralising EFI transmissions from power supply transformers. Alledgedly they are also meant to improve output transfor... |
