| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions It is the pinnacle of irony that George, whom has spent so much time and energy ridiculing those that steadfastly insist that they hear discernable, and even profound, differences with boutique fuses is now in the exact opposite place trying to de... | |
| PADIS vs Furutech fuses What a well articulated statement kosst. I would consider it worthy of being your final word on the subject.Dave | |
| Sonic Tonic fom the Tweek Geek Hi ozzy, I decided to compare the Tweak Geek Dark Energy speaker cables with my Cerious GEs. Mike was super and sent the DE speaker cables out same day on Saturday with simply a CC deposit (not charged) and they arrived Monday. Too early to commun... | |
| Benefits of an external DAC Wisdom in that last post shadorne re: expectations. IME, there are the step-function improvements that result from moving step by step from mi-fi to hi-fidelity equipment, especially speakers and sources. Also getting the room right. Lots of "Holy... | |

| Musings on Switching Power Supplies (LPS for Oppo / DirecTV/ Radiance) Hi auxinput,I bought on of these to replace the wallwart switching power supply for my router modem: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Accubasston-Steady-Linear-Power-Supply-12V-15V-24V-DAC-Phono-Head-Amp-Steamer-/172908731517?hash=item284229dc7d:g:WGoAAOSw... | |
| Burn In on Aurender N100H Hi pg62, So glad you are warming up to the N100H and like the Curious USB cable. Don't assume that the ISO Regen will improve your sound. It did not for me. Once you have a clean source like the N100H, it depends on your DAC IMO. Many others reall... | |

| Magico S5 Speaker - SET UP ADVICE PLEASE - Tow-In - Etc. Hi fsmithjack,Cabling does have a big effect but should not be looked to for wholesale changes in frequency response or sound character of a speaker.

Hoping that you have found yet another personal pinnacle of excellence with the M... | |
| Upgrade Thiel CS3.6 to CS6?? All Thiels are ultra-sensitive to room, setup, and accompanying upstream gear. My bet is that almost any of the floorstanding Thiel models all the way back to the 3.5 can be made to sound better overall than another based on how well one has been ... | |
| Single Ended or Balanced -- a Difficult Choice nkonor, I agree that there is a lot to be discovered in the audio world by actually listening to different things.
