| I have an idea for an audio product what should I do? So you haven't built a prototype or proof of concept? That might be a good first step. | |
| Linear Power Supply & USB devices Welll, @shkong78 I exaggerated. I have ordered it and paid for it but haven't recieved it yet. I feel like I've been silly to buy the Farad PSU for the DAVE and left the M-Scaler on the switching power supply. I expect it will be noticable. I... | |
| Linear Power Supply & USB devices In my second system I use a Shanti LPS to feed my Allo streamer. In my primary system I have 4 Farad LPS supplying my DAC and upscaler. I have a generic LPS supplying my switch and I'm getting a 19V LPS to power my Roon Core, I don't expect much... | |
| Primaluna. Evo 400 - bass issues Audioquest Niagara is known to limit bass. Plug into the wall and see if you get improvement. Also you're using speakers that aren't very sensitive. You will see problems first in the bass area. Jerry | |
| Sharing ground wire between two dedicated circuits Functionally I think it is fine. I don't know if it meets the code. Others will likely chime in. If you are having an electrician install and a building inspector inspect you need to make sure both of them are ok with it. | |
| Why such a huge price difference? Chord SignatureXL speaker cable For those who went deaf in one ear, I guess. | |
| Hum on Tube Amp - Can't find source If you can disconnect everything and the amp still hums, I'd try a different amp. Make sure it isn't the speaker that has the hum. You've pretty much eliminated everything else. I guess you could put a power gneerator upstream such as a PS au... | |
| Advice for RCA Interconnect Upgrade? Cables as tuning instruments is a losing proposition. Upgrading cables is always a good thing. However, don't expect it to cause less response in the treble region. You'll have to make other changes there. Do you hear harshness or is this just... | |
| Streamers and their Fuses @jasonbourne52 I didn't think you would be the type that sees every electrical appliance exploding in glorious flames as soon as you take the fuse out of the circuit. | |
| Streamers and their Fuses I make my own audiophile fuses out of high purity copper bar. I replaced the fuse in my Innuos streamer and it sounds great. It already sounded great. I'm always reluctant to sound like a fanboy that everything I do deserves another superlative... | |
| Okay to use RCA adapter on a fully balanced amp? You likely will experiience no difference. However, instead of an adapter, I would make or have made a quality cable with XLR on one end and RCA on the other. @soix You are assuming there is an inherent benefit to balanced cables. Many, if not... | |
| Power cords: Anticable vs Mad Scientist Reasonable priced quality power cables = Ice Age Audio. | |
| HoloAudio STREAMER is out now This is a combo DAC streamer and for this price I'd be skeptical of the DAC which I've heard described as "flagship". (not that i don't believe value can be found at a low price at times). Reviews make it clear people love the screen, which of c... | |
| Digital gain vs analog gain Not sure I follow you. What do you mean by digital gain? Digital sound level is set on the recording. If you mean that your DAC has a gain on it, that it the gain on the analog side of your DAC and is often used without a preamp. As for which ... |
