| Another fuse tweak @jasonbourne52 Just because you will it to be voodoo doesn’t mean it is | |
| Another fuse tweak It’s on the fuse cap, providing air cover! | |
| Supertweeters Work @jaymark what you hear from your supertweeters is better reproduction of harmonics, not more treble. Read up on stuff rather than scold people trying to help you. No matter how much louder you blast high frequencies, if you can’t hear them in th... | |
| Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator @tksteingraber in my experience the conversion to opticsl has its own issues leading to a grey, anodine sound. Certainly the converters lead high quality LPSs to get acceptable reults. I nevertheless ultimately stayed with Ethernet | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions @mitch2 there is an update on average once a quarter; they run a user request list for these updates and their support is super responsive with online remote sessions where needed. Top notch. | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions @mitch2 Unless you need the ripping function of the Zen series I’d now go with the Pulsar which includes Phoenix like reclockking of the USB connection and better power supply | |
| Aardvark Ethernet noise isolator I use a Pink Faun Isolator after my Antelope clocked Etherregen directly into the Innus streamer. The effect is very beneficial. I use two DXEngineering filters and an ENO EM-70HD Isolator on the dirty side of the Etherregen, again highly benefici... | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions InnuOS Sense in my experience with a good DAC obviates the need for splitting streamer and server; actually savings on one of the two might buy a better clock and clocking is key. | |
| Supertweeters Work Either you are under 40 or need to do a hearing test. Above 40 the likelihood of hearing bove 16KHz is very low | |
| Streamer Comparison and Suggestions A well designed USB connection has the advantage of slaving the server’s clock to the Dac. Assuming the dac has superior clocking that at the highest level has significant benefits on SQ. | |
| Power conditioners and power regeneration There is actually a wholly different approach that doesn’t interfere with the basic power flow: I use a combination of Acoustic Revive and Akiko Audio based purifiers with an Add Powr oscillator since I find that conditioners and regeneration both... | |
| Great classical pianists @mahgister you certainly know your Bach! Schiff is actually Czech | |
| Great classical pianists Andras Schiff from Bach to Beethoven, Horowitz for anything thereafter. Obviously Neuhaus as the founder of the Russian School deserves a special place and then there always is Argerich, seldom reached, never surpassed. | |
| Supertweeters Work @maxwave The level depends on sensitivity: chose the one closest matching your speakers, expressed in db/2.83V (typically between 85-95db). The phase issue inly depends on allignment with the tweeter diaphragm, not volume setting) | |
| Supertweeters Work There are numerous threads on supertweeters. The most common explanation for their demonstrable effectiveness is the rendition of upper harmonics above the audible range. Specifically they work well with DSD and high resolution recordings. The aim... |
