| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? Apple lossless is compressed. CD transport will most likely sound better. | |
| Synergistic Research Euphoria HC power cord. @bwguy McIntosh amps are detailed and open sounding. Your B&W D tweeters are resolving and airy. I’d be looking for a power cable that just allows these qualities to shine in the best possible way. It’s really easy to tip the balance in the wr... | |
| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? side22olto OP 13 posts 11-14-2022 at 09:22am I forgot to mention my cd collection is ripped to an external drive and then either streamed through the house via Sonos or played directly to the DAC via a USB cable from a Mac. I still manage... | |
| Synergistic Research Euphoria HC power cord. I disagree with Jason. But like I said, their landing library is the way to go. The only way you’ll know if the cable is a good match is to try it in your system. I would also wait until the panels are in place before making any changes at all. | |
| Synergistic Research Euphoria HC power cord. @bwguy I haven’t tried this cable but tried their lower end model and it was a bit too lively to the point of being bright plus it was super rigid and difficult to maneuver. It exhibited the same sonic traits on everything I tried it on…dac, pream... | |
| Sutherland LPS making sound thin? @gochurchgo Nice! Do revisit the settings after the break in. For me, while my 20/20 with LPS was going thru break in, 100ohm sounded best. However after the break in, 200ohm is where I’m at and prefer it to 100ohm (thanks to @rvpiano for posting ... | |

| Is it worth upgrading a CD player? Audiolab CDT6000 is very good. Being a dedicated transport, it would likely be a nice improvement over the old marantz cd player. But as others pointed out, DAC is at least as important as a transport. The CDT6000 just lays a pretty good foundati... | |
| Sutherland LPS making sound thin? With about 40hrs on it cook it for another week and it should be alright. | |
| Sutherland LPS making sound thin? I got my 20/20 LPS as a combo. I never experienced either adding the LPS later nor hearing the 20/20 with its regular wall warts. If your LPS is new give it around 200hrs before you come to any conclusions. My combo took time to break in. It sound... | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning PSM156 is very good. All my source components are plugged into it. With the amp it’s a bit more interesting. I don’t experience the transformer buzz and have my Pass XA30.8 amplifier plugged directly into the wall which results in slightly more dy... | |
| Which power cords have high resolutions and separation?? @charles1dad and @thyname agreed. Let’s not try to teach a pig to sing. Ignore and they’ll go away. | |
