| Anything wrong with PS Audio DirectStream DACs? Different systems, different ears, ymmv. Good things to remember whatever your experience with a particular piece of gear. That's one nice thing about some of the other sites where people have signatures on their posts that lists the full music c... | |

| DACs with High Voltage Output I'll give you a negative recommendation... don't do a PS audio Directstream DAC. It has a lower than average output voltage. | |
| Caps for tweeters under $300 @paulcreed what values do you need in the clarity caps? I have a pair of lightly used 4.7uFs I'd love to move into a loving home... | |
| Caps for tweeters under $300 Also, my speakers had some cheap solens and while the Jupiters are definitely better, I have to say I'm pretty impressed with what the solens were doing. They're certainly harsher, but have really nice tone & color. | |

| Thiel 3.7's and Pass Labs xa60.5's- now looking for the next upgrade @pgastone if you're considering ps audio, consider contacting the music room (https://tmraudio.com) and ask if they've got any used units available. As you've probably heard, many dealers can offer new ps audio products for substantial discounts, ... | |
| Rebuilding elgar 6000b conditioner? @atmasphere thanks Ralph! | |
| Rebuilding elgar 6000b conditioner? @atmasphere well, after receiving a unit that immediately blew the fuses in all my equipment and ended up being unusable, I finally found a good 6006b. Have it running in-line on a platform in my (dry) crawl space and it has greatly improved my sy... | |
| Thiel 3.7's and Pass Labs xa60.5's- now looking for the next upgrade Not consistent with your desire to avoid balanced, but atma-sphere swears by the method and makes a universally praised preamp that might make a great addition to the system. | |
| Kent English After dealing with Thiel, Pass, and PS Audio for my first three hi-fi purchases I thought stellar customer service was just part of the industry. Wow was I wrong. | |
