| What was the first power cable that you noticed a difference in the sound? It was the Shunyata Delta NR. Frankly, I was shocked over how a cable could make that much of a difference. But I did not like all of the changes (enhanced mids but at the cost of toning down the highs, i.e. less bright), but changing the fuse to ... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC @hgeifman Thanks for the update from PS Audio in relation to the "hum" issue. However, please consider what was stated by Ted Smith in relation to the hum:- The hum is coming from the piezoelectric response from a few critical capacitor... | |
| Which Hegel Amp with LRS+ Thanks for your input @jjss49 As I was researching the Hegel line up, I came to know of the fact that the H90 and H95 run very hot. As I live in a tropical climate, that could be a major issue. And then there's the fact that the H95 is not Roon ... | |
| Which Hegel Amp with LRS+ Thanks @stuartk for raising the warm tonal nature of the 390. I was not aware of that the tonal nature of the amplifiers was that different. As I am not a fan of warm sounding speakers / systems, looks like I will need to try out the 390 and 190 ... | |
| Which Hegel Amp with LRS+ Thanks @audiojan & @yyzsantabarbara for the input. That's certainly interesting @avanti1960 . Have you heard the LRS with the Hegel by any chance? Thanks very much for your feedback @jjss49 . My room is slightly smaller than yours. ... | |
| Advice on how to liquidate system I sympathise @jl1ny I have Tinnitus too. It drove me mad for the first 6 months. I could only get relief when focused on work or sitting in the shower. The tone of the Tinnitus went through changes too. It took a good year for me to learn ho... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Chris Rea - Road to Hell 😈 | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC Latest update on my journey towards the PSA DAC Mk2. Actually it is more like several steps back and not forward.😖 The Holo May is burning in nicely at around 200 hours in, and my PSA SACD Transport was delivered yesterday (which is the reason t... | |
| DAC Compatible with PS Audio SACD Transport Ah! The last laugh is on me. I got the PS Audio Perfect Wave SACD transport today and upon installation I discovered that it could only play CDs and not SACDs. I could not activate the SACD layer. The technician of the distributor tried and he cou... | |
| Speaker upgrade for Primaluna EVO 300 - Looking to find some audio nirvana bliss! Proac D30RS would be glorious! The voicing of the speakers are mid-range focussed, with sweet highs from ribbon tweeters. The bass, though sufficient, can be supplemented by Rel subwoofers (if possible). If you like lots of bass, you can try D48 s... | |
| Innuos PULSE Mini? @charles1dad I know what you mean! Comparatively good CDPs beat good streaming rigs (a generalisation). I have a Hegel Mohican, Metronome LePlayer 1 and am about to get delivery of a PS Audio SACD transport which I will link to my Holo May DAC v... | |
| Adding a Dac and Stresmer @gilaad I seem to be heading down a similar path as yourself. Can I ask what I2S cables you are using (assuming that I2S is your choice) at the moment? What else have you considered? Thanks in advance! | |
| Tubulus Argentus I2s @williewonka @jaytor @fthompson251 I am looking to get a qood quality I2S cable. Any updates to your last posts? Is there any better cable that you have come across? Many thanks in advance! | |
| Innuos PULSE Mini? @charles1dad @happystreamer Here's another recent review of the Mano ULTRA mkIII Farad Music Streamer:- https://www.audioenzo.nl/mano-ultra-mkiii-farad-music-streamer/ I have a Innuos Zenith and the Phoenix Network and USB on my main system. F... | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC Congratulations on acquiring the MKII @emailists ! Hope you manage to resolve the slight hum that you have found. I have read that the Niagaras have a hum of their own in certain instances, but if I am not mistaken it is heard over the speakers, ... |
