| need a new IC cable ( rca ) I would stay with Purist. But if you can’t wait for a used one to come up I see AZ Matrix II with latest connectors on USAM Probably closest in sound to your Purist and potentially even slightly better than the Museaus. These would be great for t... | |
| Power Cables - Stock vs. Budget Here’s my opinion… A cumulative of 4 crappy power cords won’t make as much positive difference as one great power cable on your amp. So instead of buying 4 garbage power cables at $150 each, I would get the best possible power cord for the total ... | |
| Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp Brimar CV4003 from Upscale worked great in my Rogue RP-1 and RP-5. The RCA were brighter. Genalex Gold Lion we’re pretty good as well. | |
| A beautiful 45LP - Yuko Mabuchi Trio @simao thanks for posting this! Excellent album! Checked it out on Tidal streaming. | |
| Power cable for Bryston Shunyata noise reduction power cords work great on cd players and transports. The older Taipan VX or Python VX can be found at a reasonable cost. | |
| Is a Pass Labs XP-10 still worth it used? Doubt you can do much better than XP-10 for around $2k. Pair it with a Pass amp and you’re all set. | |
| Crackling in right channel, what do I do? Help, please. Also, if you have a contact cleaner like DeOxit I would clean all connectors (xlr pins, RCAs, speaker terminals and binding posts). | |
| Crackling in right channel, what do I do? Help, please. Larry…before you conclude it’s the amp and to make sure you cover all bases, try a different pair of interconnects and speaker cables to eliminate a potentially faulty cable. | |
| Crackling in right channel, what do I do? Help, please. Is it a crackle or a rattle? If it’s a rattle I would check if everything’s tightly secured - speaker/stand coupling, whatever else can be potentially loose. If it’s a crackle, it could be a damaged driver (possibly tweeter). Swap speaker cables... | |
| Comparing external DAC to CD player DAC Mac into that level dac will fall short of the sound quality that marantz cdp produces. To run a fair comparison and or to determine the real potential if that dac run your cdp into it via spdif. | |
| PS PowerPlant power cables @w123ale … For my amp what PC would you recommend in the $100-300 range? I was contemplating trying some Pangea cords on a 30 day trial. Find a used Shunyata Taipan Alpha Helix or Python. Also a used TWL Seven Plus is a good choice. I had al... | |
| Lumin U1 Mini - how to set up Network *without* Ethernet cables? @jabbaman I owned Auralic Aries G1. Replaced it with Lumin U1 Mini. Each has pros and cons. I had constant issues with AURALiC’s Lightning DS several times a week where it would drop network connection, the network would see the G1 but the G1 was ... | |
| PS PowerPlant power cables I don’t own a power regenerator but on every single power conditioner I ever had a better power cord always improved the overall performance of the system. In my opinion your best power cord should be the one feeding your power conditioner or powe... | |
| Lumin U1 Mini - how to set up Network *without* Ethernet cables? I am planning to compare Eno to higher ethernet cables but not sure when I’ll get around to it. The only cable I compared it to was the Supra cat 8 and cheap yellow and blue ones. | |
