| Which USB reclocker is as good as the Innuos Phoenix USB? Hi, Did anyone try using Phoenix with USB cables that DON'T CONTAIN +5V power wire? +5V wire is not needed, when DAC itself powers USB input. This is a major sound upgrade and any serious system should have no +5V wire in USB ca... | |
| Twisted Pear Audio website not working Thanks guys!I managed to open it.All the best !! | |
| Cryongenically treated in-wall AC power wire I tried to cryo one of my DIY power cables to see what happens to the sound.After burning-in, I opted out of cryo treating my reference cables.It made the sound more lean and dry, less full.One more note - I found that the longer the power cable ... | |
| What solution to clean silver and gold contacts? Thank you all. It seems that everyone agree that tarnish layer is silver sulfide, that does reduce conductivity, and therefore can affect the sound.I prefer to clean it with something that does not leave any layer behind.Would alcohol remove the s... | |
| Let's talk power cords Yes they do. Unbeliveable, huge difference.I did not believe it myself until I tried to make a cheap DIY power cable.it improved the sound a lot compared to the standard 2$ power cable.That was 4-5 years ago. Since then, I built more than 20 of th... | |
| Need "warm" interconnects advice Hi everyone, Thank you for all of your comments. Since than, a lot has changed.1. I picked up a pair of GG Reflection V2 ICs. I like the Silnote Audio ICs, but they lean more to the detailed side. GGs do have a slight golden hue ... | |
| DAC with ESS Sabre chip, volume, XLR+RCA simult. Thank you everybody for your responses. In the meantime, I have built a DAC based on dual Buffallo IIIs from Twisted Pear.I have had a lot of help from my friend Siniša, and also a lot (A LOT!) of help from mr. Robert from Netherlands. He programm... | |
| Review: RAAL 70-10 Speaker Hi,Sorry about the late reply, alfau7.Yes, I have. Focal, small (bookshelf) and a floorstander Focal also, but not sure about the exact model.I like beryllium tweeter, it can sound silky and smooth with a right setup. It is a good tweeter, but it ... | |
| Any feedback on Rythmik Audio Subwoofers? I use 2 15" Rythmik Audio subs, powered by 2 Rythmik audio amplifiers (370 PEQ). Excellent results.I also use 2 more 370 PEQ amps on 2 12" subs in my Sinfonia speakers. Also works great.Controls on these amps provide total control over bass response. | |
| Another unconventional power cord test? I’ve had the problems in even believing in the theory that PCs do make a difference. Then I’ve tried to build one,and it sounded way better then 2$/piece power cords I’ve had until then.Tried a better version, it was even better sounding. Built a ... | |
| Audio grade USB cables Robpriore, Thank you for your post and answer. We think alike, in terms of minimalism. I also don't use a preamp, I have volume control inside of my DAC. I've also used stepped attenuator before, now it's digital volume control in my DAC.... | |
| Audio grade USB cables Hi Robpriore, I really appreciate audiophiles who contribute to tze hobby. Your USB disruptor certainly seems like a step in that direction. I agree with you - 5V in USB cable is a problem. Definitely. If one is able to completely cut it off (let'... | |
| USB cable - dual head Hi, thanks for your answer.It seems that Audiogon members don't really know the answer to this.I would like to build my own cable, that is why I ask.How can the cable be limited to certain numbers in bits and kHz? Except for certain data rate, lik... | |
| Contact Enhancer Deterioration Where can someone buy Kontac? Is there a web-page of the product? | |
| Need "warm" interconnects advice 3 days ago I placed my large speakers on Aurios Pro + tungsten-carbide balls.It made a big improvement. The highs are more silky, everything got a certain "sweetness" and "liquid" quality.Images are better, there is a "floating" quality to the sou... |
