| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Thaluza,Have you used the SR power cables on your Frankenstein amplifiers yet? Charles, | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Ozzy,I can certainly see why you'd like the balanced AC power cable. I use a BPT balanced AC conditioner /transformer with excellent results on all of my components plugged into it. Charles, | |
| what does a power conditioner really do? As with any audio product some are better than others(conditioners are no exception to this rule ) and a hierarchy is created. I can 2nd cousinbillyl's assessment of the BPT balanced AC transformers /conditioner. It is a superb device that impro... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC rinpoche,Your say you aren't an audiophile but you love listening to music, I'd strongly advise you to keep that perspective and mindset.

| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Rinpoche,Just as I suspected the VAC tube magic has smitten you ☺☺. Biasing tubes is no big deal and VAC's are very reliable and steady in operation. Yes you'll have to replace tubes as they age (goes with the territory ). Pick the amplifier th... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC One other point, AL is spot on regarding amplifier gain/sensitivity, DAC voltage output and the gain level of a preamplifier (if being considered ). If these parameters aren't adjustable via the components you can have too much system gain. This... | |
| Jeff Rowlands Amp and Dac vs. VAC amp and DAC Hello rinpoche, This thread has generated very thoughtful and well reasoned dialog. Superb insight from Al as is par for the course.

| treasure kt 88 vs vintage tung Sol 6550 Over and over again it has been demonstrated that personal preference is just that , personal. In one amplifier or system to a specific individual the Tung Sol could be clearly superior. Now placed in another system and different listener the Tr... | |
| Critical listening or a reason to keep tinkering? Dan presented a very good and wise perspective that based on genuine experience. Is your goal realistic and emotionally involving music listening experience or is it the quest for "perfect " sound? This is what must be determined as the pathways ... | |
| Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce Gdnrbob,Agree, Russmaleartist you raise some valid points but I feel you should just initiate a separate thread and see where it goes. Charles, | |
| Why Are There So Many Audio Research Reference 5SE's For Sale There are numerous versions/models of the Purity Audio line stage. Which particular model are you referring to in comparison to the ARC 40th Anniversary ? | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables Calloway,Well your terrific system is surely up to the task of sorting out power cable sonic characteristics I imagine that your Chalice Grail is sounding as stunning as ever. | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables 5 amps =600 watts so only moderately high powered amplifiers would pose a potential limitation problem with the CT-1 power cable.Charles, |
