| Which company manufactures this Ethernet switch for the other? @richardbrand really…cause I thought there are two midgets - one in my router and one in my streamer that just throw packets of data at each other. Assume I know how it all works and I don’t need your explanation. Same applies to dedicated cir... | |
| question for SLP05 owners: @immatthewj no experience with Cary but when I had Pass Labs XP-22 two chassis preamp I heard a very subtle improvement when I separated the preamp from its power supply chassis. Neither one of the units got hot by the way. Slightly warm. I would ... | |
| Needing DAC Advice @yyzsantabarbara Singularity? Lol I wonder what Schiit had in mind…gotta love their sense of humor! Beware though…the DAC will either cause you to go into your final state and fall into a black hole, or, the DAC will become so intelligent that i... | |
| Needing DAC Advice I used to own Benchmark DAC 3 HGC and it is a matter of fact type of presentation - a bit cold and sterile. I bought a Bricasti M3 and sold the DAC 3 after comparing and confirming the M3 is much better. In addition I tried PS Audio DSD MkI (mus... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? Agreed. I think I’ve explained how and why. Ultimately everyone decides what matters to them the most. I wouldn’t waste thousands on power cords if your components and room acoustics don’t warrant that. | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp @signaforce Lol we need to have some fun once in a while | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? It’s a fact within the boundaries of that measurement that was posted (not sure what the source of that information is by the way) but it doesn’t apply to audio. It’s completely irrelevant. And as such isn’t s fact when discussing impacts of cabl... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? @grunge1000 ok that’s fine and even so… Still, the measurements were performed in isolation, not within an ecosystem of components, routers, SMPs polluting the line, digital streamers, computers, whatever else we have in our systems that creates ... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? @thecarpathian from that post what are those facts that you speak of? If I read and understood the conducted measurements correctly… 1. the AC filtration system costing > $50,000 was utilized to clean the AC power and the measurements were ta... | |
| Long XLR Interconnects @testrun I did try moving to long XLRs. At the time my system consisted of Pass Labs XP12, Pass Labs XA30.8, Lumin U1 Mini streamer, Bricasti M3. I used Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper 1m XLRs throughout and Audience AU24SX speaker cables. I moved th... | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp Here I sit, cheeks a-flexin’, giving birth to another Texan…don’t worry about our power here in jersey we got plenty… | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp Had TT2. It’s very different from Qutest. Was actually a bit quirky with my N200 requiring frequent reboots (used USB to connect the two). Sound was OK but sensitive to power quality. Overall good but not my cup of tea. You might like it though so... | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? carlsbad2 1,663 posts 01-04-2025 at 07:35pm Here is my take: Nothing benefits from a high end power cord. I disagree! I removed a captive power cord and replaced it with a Furutech IEC connector so that I can connect my Audioquest Hurr... | |
| PS Audio BHK signature preamp Happy to hear you’re enjoying music! DAC next? | |
| Digital isolation between Ethernet hub and streamer Lol yeah. I tried the wrong FMC stuff. I also tried plenty of wrong power cords and they’re no longer in my system. If power doesn’t make a difference in your system but network tweaks do, there’s something seriously wrong with your network and yo... |
