Take, for example, the Akiko Tuning Stick mkIII. It is placed in close proximity of cables for it to have an effect similar to the PP... | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil I'm glad to see that I'm not the only ODAM user here. I think that cap is special and posted my review here. | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil @billwojo Polypropylene caps do have a type of coloration that you may not notice until you "roll" other capacitor types into your equipment. The most natural sounding caps (IMHO) are caps that incorporate wax and/or oil. Insulation for bare wire ... | |
| Perfect Path Technologies I recently received an order of Stop It outlet covers with two E-Cards.I wanted to install the first Stop It on the empty socket for the wall receptacle that feeds my power conditioner. In order to do that, I had to get under my computer desk wher... | |

| External Linear Power Supplies @uberwaltz Check out the Y-cable by Ghent Audio by clicking here. Use this to connect two components from an LPS with a single output. Their build quality is high and their prices are low. I recently purchased a full set of cables for the HDPLEX 4... | |
| External Linear Power Supplies @steakster Do you ever turn off the LPSs that power your modem and router? I ask because my modem and router always stay on. I'm interested in upgrading my router with an LPS but I'm concerned that it would get too hot even with heatsinks. Have a... | |
| Cerious Technologies Matrix USB cable @rgrost You should consider the fact that the problem lprules1962 had with your USB cable was an isolated incident. It's also possible that your 1m cable would not have worked in his system either. I'm quite sure the problem stemmed from his Sonn... | |
| Aqua hifi La Voce s3.....anyone audition it yet? @grannyring I'm glad that you've put the flat stacked copper foil caps to use. That's much better than having the caps sit in a cabinet which is why I sold them. I wanted someone else to enjoy them. Mission accomplished!The MHDT DACs are excellent... | |
| Cerious Technologies Matrix USB cable You’re welcome. That USB card is one of the best values that I’ve come across in this hobby next to V-Cap’s new ODAM capacitors.I suspect that the culprit to your USB problem is your current USB card. It may be faulty or low quality. Have rgrost s... | |
| Cerious Technologies Matrix USB cable @lprules1962 What's the dedicaded USB card that you're using? I have a JCAT Femto USB card powered by an LPS and it's quite transformative of my system. Apparently, the JCAT Femto network card with an LPS is more crucial to your setup than the USB... | |
