Anyone got good result from pairing Hegel power amp (H20/30) with non-Hegel preamp?
How would you see Krell KCT preamp mating with Hegel 30, 4 meter run of Nordost Valhalla and Thiel CS6 speakers?   I am thinking of buying Hegel 30 and have existing KCT.  Any thoughts?   Thanks.  
Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment
I know this is really late in the discussion, but the Audio Setting under Systems on the Zenith has a sub setting called latency. The difference between setting it to low latency with my PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 vs normal, was a night and day di... 
Innous Zenith Mk3 and the PS Audio Directstream Mk2
@thyname  I was able to get a DSD readout and sound using the DSD over PCM choice on the Zenith,  But I encountered a problem that the the PS Audio started the tracks within the same DSD file slightly late.  I used the audio delay feature on the ... 
PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC
acmaier3:  boy somebody is trolling PS Audio.  What are you going on about?  This is a great DAC and your comments seem to be intended to slam PS Audio.  You have an agenda.  I have listened to this DAC for about 3 weeks.  It is amazingly good wit... 
PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC
There is no hum and this is a fantastic DAC.  
Innuous Zenith Mk3 and Phoenix vs Esoteric N-05XD
@thyname I sent you a PM.  thanks.  
Innuous Zenith Mk3 and Phoenix vs Esoteric N-05XD
It’s knickers and they aren’t in a bunch. Isn’t the Esoteric a streamer? I got answers on both sides. I actually am leaning towards keeping the Innuous and spending more money on a new DAC. Still can’t decide because I can’t audition the Esoteric ... 
Innuous Zenith Mk3 and Phoenix vs Esoteric N-05XD
I should have been clear. I don’t stream and have no desire to. I do have the Phoenix re-clocker and not the Net.  I was told i could just attach an 8tb SSD or HDD to the back of the Esoteric as its storage. My friend is very high on the DAC in th... 
Innuous Zenith Mk3 and Phoenix vs Esoteric N-05XD
Why? I save 5,000 by getting the Esoteric which has the same DAC as its 20,000 dollar top of their line N-01XD.  
Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m
I ended up getting the 2 meter lengths and I must have auditioned the 2 meter length now that I see them.  All I can say is these two cords, Tyr (pre-amp) and Frey (Dac) lifted my system to a dynamic and resolving level that is noticeable without ... 
Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m
I can't believe I didn't measure the demo cords (they were marked not for sale demo)  Is there a standard length that Nordost gives to dealers for demo cords?  My situations is the same as Charles1dad...One meter is fine because components are in ... 
Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m
@lak Are there any specific cords you'd recommend to me for audition that would rival these Tyr and Frey 2's...that are so much lower in price?

RSf507, 8,000 for the Furtech...now i feel better.  :)  
Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m
I have not heard any other power cords other than these PS Audio pluses which I was given and seem to not do much for the sound.  I'm located in Fitchburg, Wi right next to Madison.    
Is it worth to get 2 m Nodorst vs 1m
I am not a technically inclined audiophile.  I am a listener who doesn't want to "squint his ears' to hear an improvement in my stereo.  As I said, it's been many years since a purchase.  My interconnects have broken, I've lost my Krell amp to rep...
