| Cable for Mcintosh MA8950 and Monitor Audio PL200 II Power conditioner sucked the life out of the music in my system. My recommendation would be to plug both the source and amp into outlet with best power cord feeding the amp. Give it a few hours. If you really need power conditioner try passive one... | |

| Cable for Mcintosh MA8950 and Monitor Audio PL200 II First of all, just run your amp directly from wall outlet. Don’t use that regenerator. Is there anything you don’t like about Nordost Heimdall 2 speaker cables? May be go up to frey 2 sp cables? Audience AU24SX are excellent speaker cables as well... | |

| Best Music Streamer to pair with Rogue Audio monoblocks and Pre-Amp What’s the budget for a dac? | |

| Chinese fake cables How fake, how good? deep_333 … But, I also got some Chinese Nordost recently since the price was right. I wouldn’t call it fake...I call it a ’Chinese expression’ (inspired by)...sorta like an artistic expression and it sounds great for the price (punches way about... | |
| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... It means…If there’s any upsampling, attenuation, room corrections, etc. not sure what it has if any as far as DSP goes. Disable it. | |
| Eversolo DMP 8 audition going poorly... Macg19 make sure all processing is turned off in the A8. And put few more hours on it. Too early to throw in a towel. | |
| Best streamer for Audio Note UK dacs OP - keep in mind, when you use SPDIF input on your dac, the better the clock is in your transport the better the sound quality. Look for a streamer that’s optimized for SPDIF with OCXO clock. A used Aurender N10 or N20 will be a good match. Alter... | |
