| Passive pre with class ''D'' power amps, issues ?? I believe he closed up shop. | |
| Passive pre with class ''D'' power amps, issues ?? I don't think a transformer based passive is going to make that much difference here given the gain and input sensitivity of the Bel Canto amp. The high gain CIA D-200 or D-500 would be a much better candidate to match with a passive preamp. While... | |
| Passive pre with class ''D'' power amps, issues ?? If I read the specs on it correctly the input impedance is high enough to work with most passives, but I'd be a little concerned about the gain (27db) and sensitivity (3V rms to full output). Typically something in the area of 1V would be ideal. H... | |
| Audio Mirror D2 - keep or no? They are not the same inside and the design is a bit different. The eBay ad shows pictures of the inside. See here:http://cgi.ebay.com/Valab-NOS-USB-DAC-TDA1543-Low-Jitter-1ppm-TCXO-Inside_W0QQitemZ270358204448QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0... | |
| Audio Mirror D2 - keep or no? I still own an original D1 that has been modified. I've always liked this DAC in stock and modified form. If you like the NOS sound and TDA-1543 chips then unless something else is wrong with the DAC you're probably going sideways with your move.H... | |
| The Economy.. will hi end audio mfgs lower prices? Correct, Loria the NY art dealer. Thanks for clarifying. | |
| Power conditioning The RSA Haley is a great product. Evidently there is now an upgraded version with better capacitors and a carbon fiber faceplate. Should be worth looking into. | |
| How important is EMI and RFI rejection? Got it but no pictures attached. | |
| Info wanted on Sanders Sound / Innersound Preamps Regardless of whose designing or building the equipment each time I've visited Roger's room at CES or RMAF the system sounded fantastic. | |
| How important is EMI and RFI rejection? Pictures would be great. Funny, I was wondering the same thing about how to work it out on my VAC amps.Just another note. I just had a friend remove the ground wire from the chassis IEC inside his transport and noticed an improvement. I'm wonderin... | |
| How important is EMI and RFI rejection? Great news, now I just might have to fly up there to see how you did it :) | |
| Unconnected Drain Wires ? As John said Chris is a great guy who is a pleasure to deal with. I'm a satisfied customer and can say the cables are well worth checking out. | |
| The Economy.. will hi end audio mfgs lower prices? Doesn't he own a baseball team too? | |
| Unconnected Drain Wires ? I thought about doing it at the receptacle, but someone told me it was better to do it at the component IEC, which I can understand, just don't know what other hazard it might create. I'd definitely prefer not to take apart a cable, especially you... | |
| Unconnected Drain Wires ? Yes Charles does float his entire system (and his older home has ungrounded outlets) but it is also worth noting that Ayre double insulates their component chassis' thus making the endeavor safer.Chris, I was thinking of floating the ground on my ... |
