Supra Sword Inductance Specification
Just saw capacitance measurements for the Sword interconnects--about 46 pF/ft. To compare, the LC-1 interconnects from Blue Jean Cables measure 12.2 pF/ft or about a third. Based on these measurements I'd have to conclude that if these cable do in... 
Supra Sword Inductance Specification
Correction to the above. The spec is 250 nH/m not 350. Still that is quite a bit higher than other low inductance cables on the market. 
Stock Benchmark DAC-1 versus EA MSB Gold Link 3
Kijanski,Just to let you know, my goal has always been to get as close to the recording as possible, never to "color" this with warmth or anything else. The entire decision to go with active crossovers and 10 channels of amps to drive speaker driv... 
Stock Benchmark DAC-1 versus EA MSB Gold Link 3
I've spent some time now listening carefully to the Benchmark DAC-1 USB and my current set up, and I have to say that there is no contest: my current set up is superior. In both cases I am running through a Classe 6 pre-amp -> Linkwitz Orion AS... 
Stock Benchmark DAC-1 versus EA MSB Gold Link 3
Hi there 4est,I have not tried any changes to the XLR pad jumpers. I'm assuming that it is set at the default which I understand is -20dB attenuation.Is there a setup you would recommend? I'm going to try with the XLR pad set to 0 dB and the volum... 
Amplification for Linkwitz Orion ++
Thanks Greg. I was considering terminating the "internal" wiring in the speaker to a Speakon connector, and then having a separate "speaker" cable to the amps. If I understood what you are saying it would be better to avoid the extra terminations ... 
Amplification for Linkwitz Orion ++
Hi Drew. Thanks for the information. Do you have the Orions/Thors? I guess I need to make a mental readjustment after having lived with Classe 1000 watt monoblocks running Thiel 3.6s. On another note: has anyone tried anything other than the recom... 
MSB 4X Upsampling upgrade 192K unsampling board
I've just recently acquired a Gold Link III DAC with the 192K upsampling board. It's used presently as the second half of an MSB network with 192K input coming from a player modified with MSB's 192K upgrade for players. I haven't tried using the 1...
