| PS Audio Prelude power cord. it's pretty scary how tight that iec plug is on the Prelude, isn't it. This cord made my amp sound darker than I like it to. I ended up sending this cord back and got an Audience cord here on a-gon. I'm very happy with it. Made a pretty big differ... | |
| Hissing sound on Hydra 2 r u sure it was coming from hydra? could it be coming from your transport when the disc was spinning? | |
| Hissing sound on Hydra 2 Both my Hydra 2 units are quiet. Looks like you have a problem with yours. Contact Shunyata, see what they say... | |
| Preamp for Mccormack 0.5 mono Paul, how are you. I used ARC LS-15 with my DNA-05 Deluxe with great results, but it does not have SSP throughput. But the newer LS16 does. ARC tube preamps have a very open sound that is a good complement to McCormack amps. I now use my LS-15 wit... | |
| Suggestions for upgrading audioquest interconnects It's best to call Cable Company. This way it is faster and you get a more detailed explanation on how their lending library works. They are great these guys, and have lots of cables + database of customer comments as to which cable worked better w... | |
| Suggestions for upgrading audioquest interconnects I agrfee with suggestion for AZ cables. I tried AQ Jaguar and AZ Matrix Ref MkII were better in my system. I found AQ to be too laid back for my taste. I ended up getting AZ Matrix MkII. Good luck. | |
| A "bit" of information Koestner, in my opinion, although some dacs claim superb jitter rejection, their ability to deal with certain amount of junk that comes in from the transport is important. I personally don't think that Benchmark DAC-1 or my Bel Canto DAC2 are so j... | |
| A "bit" of information my marantz 5 disc cd changer sounds VERY different(like crap to be exact) from my dvd player when both used as transports with my Bel Canto DAC2, with Philips $65.00 dvd player being a clear winner. And WireWorld Super Nova 3+ glass toslink sounds... | |
| Arcam FMJ CD33 vs Cary 306/200 dkidknow, cool.... be sure though before you buy the A5 that MF worked out the problem with hybrid SACD playback... just check out my post in this thread earlier... | |
| Audio Research LS-15 Infincaps I ended up installing the new TRT Dynamicaps instead of the Infinicaps I planned to install. So far I have about 15 hours on the new caps and they are improving with every hour of use. Big improvement in the bass region, cleaner overall presentati... | |
| Acoustic Zen Silver Bytes digital cable Tooter, I've heard this too with exception that both are equally good with neither being superior when talking about RCA type link. What I heard was silver byte was designed to be RCA type and MC2 to be XLR type, so between these 2 in RCA version,... | |
| Acoustic Zen Silver Bytes digital cable thanks for opinions. I will try to check out both the MC2 and Silver Bytes and see which one makes more sense in my system, although I am pretty sure as you all pointed out, MC2 is superior. Just didn't want to spend that much on one digital cable... | |
| Acoustic Zen Silver Bytes digital cable never mind my question...I found the answer to that on their website FAQ. Looks like it does not matter 75 or 110 ohm. Harnellt and Teajay thanks for your advice. | |
| Acoustic Zen Silver Bytes digital cable Silver Bytes is 75ohm and MC2 is 110ohm. What's the difference? Could I use either one? | |
| Amplifier hum: Does it need repair? Thorman may have your answer.If you have cable tv, try to take the cable wire out of the first point of entry into the system, which is probably a cable box. But remember, disconecting the cable box would not show anything. Only taking that cable ... |
