| Puritan 136 vs 156 for simple system @temmple - As an aside, I was finally able to find a used ultimate power cable. I was expecting a minor but worthy upgrade. I was wrong. As soon as I replaced the classic power cable with the ultimate version, my system sounded more expansive, mor... | |
| Puritan Ultimate Power Cable After adding two Puritan conditioners to my two systems, I finally was able to pick up a used Ultimate cable from a seller who happened to reside in the same city. I was anxious to get it home and try it out. I’ve read a few posters communicat... | |
| Solid state amp vs tube amps @marquis4099 - I don’t think anyone has asked yet, but would love to hear more about your motivation behind the question? Are you embarking on a search yourself? Or is it more of an academic question? If it’s the former, you’ve got a potential... | |
| Puritan 136 vs 156 for simple system @temmple - Go for the Puritan… | |
| Innuos Zen mk3 NG and Zenith mk3 NG introduced at Munich Wow. The Innuos Zenith MKiii went up 300%? I’m sure they’ve made some important upgrades, but I wonder how much better it is…? | |
| Puritan 136 vs 156 for simple system @temmple - Our fellow posters are making a lot of sense. For me, the Puritan was a final touch, final edit purchase. I’d labored over my selection of components and felt everything else had been dialed in. Finding the speakers that deliver the... | |
| Puritan 136 vs 156 for simple system @temmple - I actually have both. I started with the 136 and ended up buying the 156 too. Firstly, the Puritan product up-leveled my musical enjoyment in both of my systems. They are both solid products. For your system, listed above, I think a... | |
| Decware Sarah 300B Amp? Hi Everyone - I appreciate everyone’s feedback. I’ll respond over the next few days to many of the posts, as I have some follow up questions. It’s clear this is a knowledgeable group I can learn from. For the moment, @njkrebs - wanted to address... | |
| Fern & Roby Raven iii @bobheinatz - Did you end up purchasing those Raven Three speakers? If so, would love to hear your impressions. | |
| Older Power Cables @classicrockfan - I was agnostic about power cables before I actually did some experimentation. My point of view was “I don’t know enough about the science to have a strong pov on whether different power cables would make a difference.” Now th... | |
| Power cords: Kimber Kable Palladium @hanki - thank you! Might be too much of a project for me, but it’s good to know the cable can be enhanced. | |
| Back to the DAC @blisshifi - Can you elaborate on the NOS filters? How would you describe what T+A is going for in terms of sound? | |
| Back to the DAC I second the vote for the Merason Dac1. It’s a stand-alone Dac and offers a balanced, detailed yet very musical presentation. It’s a Dac to consider based on your stated parameters. | |
| Streamer and Dac ~$4.5k for Vinnie Rossi, Dynaudio system @cold_pillow - I also have the Dynaudio Heritage speakers. I rotate them with QLN Prestige 3 speakers, which I also love. I don’t have any desire to explore other speakers at this point… The Dynaudio Heritage speakers are wonderful, but need to be... | |
| Power cords: Kimber Kable Palladium @hanki - Can you share what improvements you experienced with the Furutech NFC connectors? |
