| Gustardx26 pro vs RME ADI2FS @hshifi i’m curious, do you use a power conditioner prior to the linear power supply or does the linear power supply, innocence, act as a power conditioner? | |
| Gustardx26 pro vs RME ADI2FS This discussion is interesting because it is circling around what I have come to believe is a central truth in HIFI. That is, there are two ways to go, true fidelity and good sound. These are not mutually exclusive as that statement might sound at... | |
| Gustardx26 pro vs RME ADI2FS On page 10 of the RME-ADI2 Users Guide they discuss the power supply in detail, laying out the design features built into the dac, they conclude; "...in other words the choice of power supply is not critical." I'd like to know of another manufact... | |
| Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews. “I can’t say I struggle to read any of them, not even the frankly unpleasantly dishonest Darko, but most are as dull as ditchwater.” @cd318 if you are going to impugn someone else’s integrity and character I think you risk being unpleasant and di... | |
| DeoxIT on cables/Jacks? Oldhvymec, would you share with us the formula of your cleaning concoction? | |
| Power conditioner types “Do any power conditioners actually store the energy from the outlet/power company and then generate it on demand ”I think this is called a battery. but then you would also need an inverter to transform the DC current back into AC if you want to p... | |
| Bob Carver C-500 worth restoring and/or upgrading?? Nice story, your situation is almost to duplicate of mine except the 40 year old amplifier in question for me is an Adcom GFA-1. I have been told that both Bob Carver and Nelson Pass were employed by Adcom in those early days. Updating the hardwir... | |

| Why do we want to distortions? This growing consensus about the appealing nature of low and even order harmonics and repellent nature of high an odd order harmonics is fascinating. From a biological standpoint it suggests the question, “how did this come to be“? If we step outs... | |
| Why do we want to distortions? @atmasphere thank you thank you thank you!I have enshrined your message in Apple notes where I am sure I will refer to it frequently in the future | |
| Math + Logic + Science = something completely mad... @dletch2 this has been a great discussion and as a technically conversant DIYer I learned a lot. In particular this statement of yours:“We end up where we started R, L, C. Take a cable with low R and high L, and it will sound warm, the bass even m... | |
| Math + Logic + Science = something completely mad... Ohm said:“Yes and if you can manage, cold press the ends, no solder. Treat the bare wire before you install it into the bore with a good enhancer. Graphite dust works great. If you have to solder, use GREAT solder, that is another boo boo, people ... | |
| Initial disappointment with 1st set of “expensive’ IC’s... I wonder if anybody has ever put together two identical systems except for the cables and done listening tests? Seems like the only way to get around the qualifiers that you can’t move a cable and it Has to burn/break in for hundreds of hours. An... | |
| Favorite cable brand. Thanks @cromaudionut I like the blue jeans site and I like that schmitt cable site posted earlier in this discussion by @bob540. They tell you how the cable is constructed and charge reasonable prices based on that. This sitehttp://diyaudioproject... | |
| Favorite cable brand. Reason suggests that a cable’s properties would be the result of A) type of wire used, B) the geometry (weaving wrapping twisting), C) the insulation or covering and D) the cable ends. So if we don’t have things that we can measure that help us un... |
