| DCS Sending Legal Notice To Reviewer (Golden Sound) Over an Old Review of Their Bartok DAC @laoman, whatever happens in this case will happen, but my point is beyond this case. I think it's high time that there needs to be some standard guidelines set for reviewers and manufacturers. Because of the lack of regulation a manufacturer can ... | |
| A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU In my experience power amps are not really susceptible to EMI because of larger signals that they deal with. Hence if you connect a power amp to these EMI filters/Power conditioners you are not going to hear much of improvements. Whereas if you c... | |
| A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU The only type of power conditioner that actually does something is a DC blocker. All others are designed to drain the wallets of the gullible. One needs to measure the DC on the mains to really know if DC blockers is actually needed. If it's n... | |
| A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU Did you compare it to the Puritan 156 and which one actually sounded better on your system ? If you didnt hear the comparison then which spec’d out better? No I did not hear the Puritan 156, but I did tried to find out the specs, which like all... | |
| Anyone compared Merging+NADAC to other top dogs like Rockna, dcs, MSB etc. @azjake, I know of it. I am having an eye on it since Merging announced its development and their own exit from the audiophile business after takeover by Sennheiser. Just curious, have you heard it? or do you own it? It would be very interesting ... | |
| A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU Thanks @mark200mph | |
| A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU @facten I heard about those brands from you for the first time. Those brands could be in business for long, no doubt about that. But I just had a look at their spec sheet to know the product performance because for EMI filter that's all is needed... | |
| A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU @j-wall what's there to be lost in that section? I am just stating the response that I got from Audiophile Power Conditioner manufacturers. In fact such response from manufacturers is beyond my understanding, unless all they want to promote is lis... | |
| A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU @jayctoy PDU is for $1K. | |
| A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU @faten I looked at all ZeroSurge, Brickwall and SurgeX and all three provide the EMI filtering ratings of just lab condition while saying they have non MOV surge suppressor (which even OnFilter has), so the differentiating point is specified 1:100... | |
| A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU @wsrrsw yes it is sanely priced compared to other audiophile brands, but OnFilter is half it's price and better performance. From their demo at shows it can be deduced that their EMI attenuation performance is around 20dB, whereas OnFilter perform... | |
| A Sanely Priced Power Conditioner That Actually Works - OnFilter PDU @carlsbad2 they are a concern, at least in my experience (or till the time you hear them cleared from your power line). All the LED lights, ACs, Washing machines, Panels are source of EMI which is conducted through power line. Besides if you live ... | |
| GentooPlayer - A saga of misery @jhnnrrs GentooPlayer or Linux in general is not as easy to use as Windows or Mac. My biggest gripe was the attitude of Filippo (owner of GentooPlayer), he was so rude and double standard that it left me bitter with the entire experience, even tho... | |
| Any one measured the EMI/RFI attenuation performance of audiophile power conditioners? @tvad You have made a very good and important point that you could not discern any audible effect between several regarded power conditioners. This is in turn related to correlation between EM reduction and sound improvements. @tonywinga I forgot... | |
| Any one measured the EMI/RFI attenuation performance of audiophile power conditioners? @tvad I don't post there, neither I take Aamir's reviews very seriously as I don't find much value in his methodology. It's a bit like gun in the hand of a monkey (take this as an idiom and not the literal comparison) & now he has a following.... |
