The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses I have used SR Orange, Beewax Ultimate, and SR Purple. I will rank Purple #1 and Ultimate 2nd. Purple needs a week to break in while Ultimate only needs a day. | |
For SACD fans only I replaced my Oppo205 with PSA SACD transport and could not be happier. When pairing with PSA Directstream DAC using I2S connection they are hard to beat. The Mk2 of DS DAC supposedly comes out soon and it should be even better. | |
Best Mesh WiFi System If you want the best, make sure your Orbi mesh is wifi6 too. That’s the newest and we didn’t have any dropping issue anymore. | |
"Power Cords-More Recent" I probably have the same PS Audio power cords that OP has. They are in my system for 20 plus year until I changed to the top line of pc from Cullen. I was surprised how much improvement they made on my amps. I ended up add a more expensive pc to m... | |
What is the #1 equipment want currently on your HiFi horizon??? A NAS, a music server, and a Roon based system? But I am not sure if that can replace my 1000 plus CDs, so maybe nothing. | |
WHAT IS THE MOST TOUCHY SONG THAT YOU HAVE EVER HEARD? Elton John “Candle in the Wind 1997”. | |
Help selecting a power cord. In my system the power cords make as much difference as interconnects. In the last year I have tried many from budget to pricy. Here are my two cents: budget: Audio Envy, Anticable 3.0, Bav, and Cullen Crossover. Cullen is a step above and it is a... | |
Samsung flat screen TV’s My Samsung 55 died after 3 years then I switched to a LG OLED 65. So far everything works great and the picture is still as good as day one. | |
Power Conditioner vs A/C cables PS Audio offers a line of power generators that suits most budget needs. The after market AC power cords will benefit them because these generators are more like amps than conditioners. I have the P15 and use a AQ power cord and they work great in... | |
Power cable education needed My wife and my friends wives are listening to music too. So I do not understand why that is a tall tell? | |
Favorite cable brand. In my system I have tried budget (relative I know) cables such as Anticables, Audio Envy, and Cullen, and high end cables such as Stealth, Iconoclast, Silversmith, Silnote, Purist, and AQ. These are my favorites:Power cords: Stealth Dream V10 (hi... | |
Power cable education needed I'll second to that. I have a box of power cords acquired over the years. I am familiar with their sound signatures in my setup and in my listening room.When my friends were in my house one time we were arguing the same things about the effect of ... | |
Power cable education needed Do I think expensive power cords are better than the cheaper ones? Well it depends, it is like this as an example, and the number is not necessary accurate either. A $500 PC may improve SQ by 2% from the stocked one. A $5,000 PC may improve anothe... | |
Power cable education needed Since there are so many aftermarket Power cables are selling well, the reasonable explanation is they do make a difference. The audiophiles are the ones pay more attention and enjoy high quality music reproduction. They can not be all crazy. | |
Connecting a streamer via an Ethernet cable The key is to reduce noise whether using wifi or hard wire. When I run a long ethernet cable the sound was sometime worse than wifi. Now I used a .5 meter ethernet with a node plus a lan filter. This setup produces the best SQ for me. Also the dif... |
