| Anyone using IFI Powerstation I have one of them and I have found it to be the best power strip I have ever used. I also use a PS Audio P10 and P5. I experimented a bit when it first arrived. I tried it with the P5 powering the Powerstation, then with the powerstation plugged ... | |
| ifi iPhono 3 "Black Label" Anyone? errataHey guys please forgive some of my missed commas and typos, i.e. “there instead of their”, “through instead of threw”, etc. “It is because I have heard many so-called reference level stages that” should have been: “It is reference level in t... | |
| ifi iPhono 3 "Black Label" Anyone? Ok, so I first reported my thoughts on the IPhono3 BL a few months back with approximately 168 hours on the unit in a rather ambitious and costly setup. I found it competitive with the ARC Ref 10 phonostage at that point. I believe I mentioned the... | |
| Most organic / real / analogue sounding DAC (ideally with Volume Control) for $1500?????? Melchior-christoph4:I formerly owned the Metrum Octave and I agree with you, it is a very very good dac. In fact, my octave dethroned my former much more expensive MSB Power Dac ($4k) which used MSB’s custom made ladder dacs and was battery or gri... | |
| Most organic / real / analogue sounding DAC (ideally with Volume Control) for $1500?????? singintheblues:I agree with you concerning dacs like the benchmark, it simply sounds thin and digital to me. Even the DCS One which I’ve listened to quite a bit is nothing to really talk about compared to a good analog rig. Two of the most real so... | |
| PS Audio P15 power conditioner vs Accuphase PS 520/530? I owned the Accuphase P1200, purchased new. It was very very nice on front end gear but on amps I could definitely hear it limiting the dynamic range, this is why I sold the unit. My PSA P10 powers one of my systems completely including an OTL amp... | |
| Problem(s) with new Klaudio LP200S ultrasonic cleaner - Any other owners? I know this an old thread and I am sure you have resolved it by now. I did just purchase one of the last units with the external reservoir and it definitely does not continuously drain and pump the water. It fills the unit, cleans the record and t... | |
| ifi iPhono 3 "Black Label" Anyone? lewm:Hi lewm :) Hope all is well. I think you’ve combined my review and rooze’s comments. I have heard the Ref 10 on multiple occasions but I’ve never heard the Allnic or the Zesto gear thus I can’t intelligently comment on their respective sound ... | |
| ifi iPhono 3 "Black Label" Anyone? enginedr1960:I’ve wanted to hear that unit you have for some time now. | |
| ifi iPhono 3 "Black Label" Anyone? enginedr1960:It will be interesting to read your findings. | |
| ifi iPhono 3 "Black Label" Anyone? Enginedr1960:I would say yes it runs cooler. It’s slightly above warm to the palm over the main part of the units body. I actually, just for you :) broke out my DMM with its digital temp gauge and measured 91 degrees F at the center of the (top) o... | |
| ifi iPhono 3 "Black Label" Anyone? I have the iPhono 3. First let me say that most people who have read my posts know that I absolutely hate SMPS. I hated the power supply in my Technics SL 1200 GAE so much I was having a bespoke linear supply designed and built for that table. I s... | |
| Just received my new Luxman CL-1000 pre-amp. I have been thinking about purchasing the C 900-u for my second system. This has been an interesting read. I looked at the CL 1000 and passed, not because of the lack of remote control. I at one time owned Tube Research Labs gear and my GT 200 pre... | |
| MSB vs dCS Bartok While I have not owned the Select or the Premiere I did own for a number of years the MSB Power Dac Gold which uses the core MSB ladder dac technology. I was told by a MSB insider that they thought it actually sounded better than some of the highe... | |
| Einstein The Final Cut vs. Graaf GM20 Mono I know this is an OLD thread LOL but I still have my Graaf Modena. It is still the second finest sounding amplifier I’ve yet to hear. I just compared a broken in Pass Labs XA 25 in my system to the Modena. It was no contest, the Modena walked all ... |
