| Best DAC for Meridian Sooloos Just a follow up - adding a set of 3 or 4 Stillpoint SS under the MS600 opened up the high frequency response and I'm now enjoying this unit as a dac. Putting a quality power cord on it (Cardas Clear) also increased the tonal colour and dynamics o... | |
| Moving up from Cardas Clear I found the Clear power cords sounded a lot like the other Clear gear - more extension in the extreme high/low frequencies, a bit more open while retaining a bit of the organic/fluid sound that Cardas is known for. Bass was the biggest impact of a... | |
| Power Strip Interesting. As you probably have, I guess the next step is to contact an electrician and get his opinion and help. Whatever you do you want to be sure it's up to code, is safe and doesn't negate your home insurance! | |
| Power Strip I spoke to the designers at Mark Levinson and Simaudio and they both said to avoid power conditioning. Both manufacturers build substantial power regulation into their equipment and do not require additional power filtration. Their equipment is de... | |
| Best DAC for Meridian Sooloos Just as a follow up, I did upgrade to a Meridian MS600/MD600 combo. I now use the dac in the MS600 and use the XLR analogue output to my Simaudio P-8 pre amp. At first the MS600's analogue output remained a little on the dull/thick side but the I ... | |
| Moving up from Cardas Clear Thanks. Signatures are pricey but not too out of whack as a step up from the Clears. Ultra Extremes are too expensive for me, though. | |
| Moving up from Cardas Clear How expensive are Masterbuilt Signatures? | |
| Power Strip I've had great results with the Nordost QB-4 and then the QB-8 power strip. It increased the speed and dynamics of my system. It does not alter the sound in any other way. I attribute the change to the star earth grounding system and the lack of p... | |
| A New Version Of Cardas Clear/Clear Beyond? Haven't heard of anything. Did you hear something?All I see is Cardas playing around with more affordable versions of the Clear cable. Probably going to phase out the Golden line up in favor of the new (better) Clear geometry and termination techn... | |
| Moving up from Cardas Clear I guess i could move to Clear Beyond speaker cables but that would be the end of it as there are no Clear Beyond interconnects. I already have a Clear Beyond power cable feeding my Nordost power distribution bar and Clears connecting my components... | |
| Are there any DACs that can go low? Simaudio 650d and 750d have an amazingly deep and granite-like bass. See Michael Fremer's review of the 650d in Stereophile. | |
| how do YOU stream? Meridian Digital Media Systems MD600 media storage to Linsys router via shielded Cat6 cable, router to office Netgear AV500+ Ethernet over powerline adaptor via shielded Cat6 cable, living room Netgear v500+ Ethernet over powerline adaptor to Meri... | |
| Simaudio 380D Opinions anyone? | |
| AIFF or FLAC? Programs like dbPoweramp will let you select the degree to which FLAC files are compressed and there is also a setting to not compress your FLAC files at all.I would just try both options on whatever you are going to be using to see if you can tel... | |
| Marantz sa-11s3 "The one caveat on the 1 is that I have been having trouble playing SACDs and have the player in for repairs. We'll see how that plays out."I had the same issue with my SA11-s1. Thi issue was the laser assembly needed to be replaced, but it was on... |
