| Western Electric 300B problem @sns sorry to hear about your horror story. I have both Takatsuki and EAT 300b’s. My preferred tube is the latter: Built like a tank and in my Wvac EC300b simply the most powerful and dynamic. If WE can’t be bothered to test their tubes before s... | |
| Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables? @benzman you own a very good dac and streamer, so not easy to be sure. Since you own the clock and presumably had a benefit from it, I‘d consider it likely an improvement | |
| Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables? A word of warning here: what seems like different performance from USB cables more likely is their compatinility with the Dac‘s USB implementation. Rather than spend $500 or more on trying out cables, buying a Lhy Audio UIP USB processor may be a ... | |
| Graphene Sluggo - Unlocking Sonic Scenery @veerossi Given the amount of power flowing, the effect of SDFB is definitely strongest on the power amp. And your assessment on directionality of the G-Slug is absolutely correct. The wrong way around it definitely sounds phasey. As value for m... | |
| Experience up-leveling streaming with USB cables? @bluethinker USB is a two way protocol, Preventing noise ingress is paramount, hence: the shorter the better. You may also want to chack out Uptone Audio‘s USPCB, which does away with the notion of cable altogether. Intona not only offer superb ... | |

| Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread Quite so, lest Mark offers a,double IEC version. | |
| Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread It’s actually a passive power conditioner, crystals based and since it sits at the end point of the piwer chain particularly effective at eliminating ground level borne and EMI/RFI induced crud on the piwer line. It drops the noise floor, increase... | |
| Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread To further improve the Digital Fusebox combine it with a Furutech FLUX 50 NCF. unfortunately that links via 2 IECs, otherwise it’s make an excellent piggytail. | |
| Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread @ozzy Agreed, what I was trying to get at is that there seems to be a very slight volume loss comparing an inserted box to a sluggo only setting. That said the benefits compared to fuses are uncontesteable | |
| Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread Question to Mark: am I right that the box results in a 1-2 db transmission loss? | |
| Auralic Aries G2.1 or Innuos Zenith mk3 @auxinput I‘d be a bit careful about your claim on InnuOS‘ use of DSP. It is directly counter to their minimalist philosophy on CPU power, which by the way leads to superiror sound compared to Roon. In my experience, the clean up of both the in... | |
