| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords That’s good too. Regen. Clean power. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Choked by the surge protection circuit in a cheap strip like that. Fine for routers or cable box. Not great for audio components in a system of that caliber. Something like a passive power conditioner that’s not restrictive would work great. Shuny... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Dude you have your McIntosh components plugged into a surge protector? It doesn’t matter how many amps they draw. That surge protector is your bottleneck. Take it out. You’re choking your system. Plug the amp and pre at least for the duration of... | |
| Should I upgrade my preamp? I think your speakers and phono cartridge are fine. The weakest link in my opinion is your cd player. The old ARC preamp has more potential and if you add a DAC and a good transport you can improve the performance of your system tremendously. In ... | |
| What did a good 10 MHz clock do for your Gustard R26? Awesome! Wait till you try a good power cable on this dac. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Well hold on Mike. I think I am seeing either a power strip or a power conditioner or both. Let’s not rush to conclusions that the amp and preamp are getting good power for their property designed power supplies until the OP confirms. A bad power ... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Is the amplifier and preamplifier plugged into the wall or is that a power strip / power conditioner behind the rack? | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords @rodman99999 waste of time. His neighbors said there’s no difference. | |
| What did a good 10 MHz clock do for your Gustard R26? Interesting. Take few days to get used to the sound and run it 24/7 to let the cable settle. The PS Audio DAC won’t scream look at me I’m here and attract attention to itself. But it plays music in a very satisfying way. Nothing stands out. It ta... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords I got my dose of bullshit for this evening. I’m out. Be good. | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords My neighbors are as able to hear discernible differences in sound as you are. that I doubt For some the entire premise of these threads when someone describes how two sets of cables sound the same is to diminish their experience. We... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Your reply to my first post here was sarcastic. No one is disrespecting you for the difference of opinion. Don’t play the snowflake card now. Your experience is not threatening. You can’t hear what you can’t hear. That’s the end of it. | |
| A stupid question(s) about power cords Cool. Sounds like the room is good enough to test the cables. Let us know how the amplifier sounds with the new cable | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords To add…I explained why having neighbors do the abx is useless in your first post. And repeated some of it here. But anyways…looking forward to your next post. AudioQuest Dragon power cords? Naaah. Go big or go home. Nordost Odin, Shunyata Omega…I ... | |
| ABX testing with AQ Dragon power cords Oh I have no experience with the aq dragon. And I never doubted the fact that you can’t hear the difference. Good to see you have these cables on hand. Proving that either your ear is immune to the differences or your system is just downright amaz... |
