levinson 26 to replace adcom 565 I’ll throw in an alternative - sell all your adcom stuff. Pick up a Rogue ST100 amp and RP-1 preamp (has amazing phono built in). The ST100 in triode mode will be excellent. And total amp and preamp would run about $3500 ish. Will beat your adcom... | |
A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks I’ll add - if you have dedicated circuits install good quality outlets and go direct sans conditioner. Especially if it’s a 30 year old glorified power strip. That’s how I run my system - direct no power conditioner. | |
A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks @immatthewj let me simplify this… Scenario 1 - everything is plugged into the conditioner. In this case the besr power cord should be on the conditioner. Second best power cord should be on the amplifier. Go up the chain from there. Scenario 2 - ... | |
Phono Cables for Sutherland 20/20 mk1? I had 20/20 MkII with LPS and used Acoustic Zen Silver Ref 2 which sounded amazing with it. Should not be an issue with the wider spread on the 20/20 MkI | |

USB and Coaxial at the same time? If you have native dsd turned off in the aurender advanced settings I think you should be fine. What makes you think the coax could sound better just curious… | |
I find myself "tuning out" anymore.....is the magic fading? Time for a break @coralkong you’ve been listening too hard reading too many posts do some other stuff. Read few good books, watch good movies, travel, see a live band, go to a classical concert, get a dog :) It will come back. | |
Need a Streamer Poorly recorded source material, bad room acoustics, bright speakers. You can change a streamer but that’s not going to fix your problem. | |
Strange Cable Experiment Strange? Not at all. It would be strange if the cables didn’t make a difference in a resolving system. No blind test needed. Although with those cataract glasses I bet Jason is an expert in blind testing. | |
Reference Tracks? I’ll wander off the beaten path here…. Art Pepper, Straight Life - Nature Boy Neils-Henning Orsted Pedersen, This is All I Ask - O, Tysta Ensamhet Neils-Henning Orsted Pedersen, The Unforgettable NHOP Trio Live Allan Taylor, Behind the Mix - T... | |
Furutech PC's? @fthompson251 i have two Furutech GTX-D NCF Rhodium outlets, one per dedicated line. I’ve owned the following power cords: FP-S55N with NCF 50 plugs, FPS-032n with regular 50 connectors. Had DPS-4.1 with NCF 50 plugs long enough in my system to as... | |
