| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Here's my data point, which is not at all meant to be a downer or to question the premise of upgraded fuses. It's a silly and delightful hobby that we cherish here, and this thread is a great example of the power of the web to bring us audio ner... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Can't wait to get home after this work trip and check in on the system at ~70 hours of burn-in. Opening up the PWD II to change directions is quite a PITA, but I will certainly try it. | |
| Anyone using "Small Green Computer" devices? I've have a Vortexbox Appliance from Small Green as my ripper and server. It's been dependable for almost 4 years now. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Got the Blacks for my DAC/pre in the mail yesterday. VH Audio shipped fast. Out of the box, the sound was a little muddy and indistinct. After about six hours, I had a listening session. The mud was gone and leading edges of horn notes had a ... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Man, that's my nightmare. If I dropped $250 on a dud fuse pair and the seller would not make things right, I would let the whole internet know. I would imagine that the margin on these things is so high that replacements could be sent to people w... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Pair of Blacks are on the way for my PerfectWave II DAC/pre. You guys are killing me. I hate you. :-)Having never upgraded a fuse from stock, guess for me on this: ought a black sound better than stock, right out of the box? Also, ought a ... | |
| Spotify Premium vs Tidal ... opinions? TIDAL sounded quite a bit better via coax from my Squeezebox Touch into my DAC than it did via USB from my Macbook Air to the same DAC. The Touch isn't made any more, but for a replacement I would look at an Auralic Aries or Aries Mini. | |
| Learning the hard way about AC power solutions This thread inspired me to take my 5 year-old Power Plant Premier out of the system last night to see the effect. I long ago realized that my integrated amp had significantly better dynamics and frequency extension when plugged straight into a ded... | |
| streamer for PWD DAC mkII - tired of a computer and complicated connectivity! Mahler, if you ever get the itch to move on from the Bluesound, know that the Bridge II for your PWD is much more stable than the BI. I put in a BII last week to replace a Squeezebox touch, and I am _floored_ by the increase in sound quality. I ... | |
| Tidal vs. Spotify This month's Stereophile has 56 Records to Die For, some of which are on the obscure side.Forty of them are on TIDAL. I'm gonna roll up my sleeves and get to listenin'.The key to the search function is to know that you have to spell words right, ... | |
| PS Audio regenerator P600 or Premier? Oh, a dedicated line would help gobs, but that's moot...The great thing is you get to try it both ways and let your ears decide where to plug what. | |
| PS Audio regenerator P600 or Premier? No direct comparison, but I've enjoyed my PPP for four years without a problem. There were some lemons that came out of China, but at this point any used PPP that's running well likely didn't come from a bad batch. In my system, it's great on so... | |
| PS Audio DirectStream with Bridge II - FREAKIN' AWESOME!!! Received Bridge II yesterday to replace a Squeezebox Touch which was connected by ethernet to a Vortexbox Appliance (headless linux box running Logitech Media Server.) Installation was easy as dropping bread into a toaster.Because LMS has been ro... | |
| PS Audio DirectStream with Bridge II - FREAKIN' AWESOME!!! ...and indeed he did! Bridge II is on the way and I am all kinds of excited. | |
