| Time To Upgrade My Digital Front End I wouldn't try to buy a streamer and a DAC both for $5k. Don't know much about the Gustard but a DAC will make more difference in sound than a streamer. So if you are happy with the sound of the Gustard and just want to clean it up and make it s... | |
| It's almost like poll, but certainly more fun THe Czarivey poof machine. | |
| Cast into Utter Darkness PHiladelphia freedom. One summer I spent a lot of nights "parking" with my girlfriend at the time. It was on AM radio every other song. | |
| ARC Ref 6 Tube Microphonics Microphonics is a tube thing more than an amp thing. Don't fix the wrong component. | |
| Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts? I almost always buy equipment without auditioning. It is difficult and expensive to audition. And I make pretty good decisions on equipment. I rely very little on published reviews is one of my secrets of my success. I just calculate what I wi... | |
| Spec-chart for digital cables Digital is just 1's and 0's. So now you think I'm a denier who thinks it is useless to upgrade digital equipment, it is perfect right? just the opposite. For file transfer it doesn't matter (much) as your computer will keep downloading u... | |
| Tune of the Day David Essex, Rock On. I thought this was worth bringing up because it is a one-hit-wonder of sorts and so it gets overlooked. Odds are the last time you heard it was on a crappy system in the 70s or at a party where the music was loud, and that'... | |
| Adding a power trigger to an amp that doesn't have one I'm surprised that it is 150W at idle if it is a/b. So you have a remote, why don't you use it? you don't want to have 2 remotes on the table? I have 5. Jerry | |
| To condition or not ? Reported by users here. Of course there could be errors but confirmation bias would likely make the errors in favor of Niagara rather than against them. What is your basis for saying that "by design, they do not limit power". I'm sure every ma... | |
| Probable PayPal Claim Telling paypal that you worked with the seller to try to resolve but was unsuccessful is appropriate. "not as described" with supporting documentation will get you your money back. I've sold and bought ten's of thousands of transactions via payp... | |
| 240/110V 200Va transformer suitable for? 200VA is tiny. Not suitable for audio use in any country. | |
| Not sure for power conditioner my amp or not. If I lived in a location with lightening I would probably install someting like this on the power to my equipment. The dowside is you have to start everything up every time you isolate it. https://www.amazon.com/SIEMENS-General-Safety-Switch-No... | |
| To condition or not ? Niagara 1200 is one that has been reported many times to limit amp performance. | |
| To condition or not ? Origin knows there is a lot of junk out there. | |
| Not sure for power conditioner my amp or not. It depends on your "conditioner". If it sounds better plugged into the wall, your conditioner is junk. and many of them are. I've said here a dozen times, you can't filter noise out of AC. You rectify it and invert it with a quality inverter... |
