| Doing the Power Cord Thing Hi @lakI posted the parts I am using, including the cord, in my first post. It's DH Labs shielded, 14 gauge, and 6' (2 meters) worth of it. Total parts cost is around $100. Pretty close to what DH labs sells off the shelf, finished cables of the ... | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing Hi @Jim204 !Thanks. To be honest, I am not a big believer in the extremes people here will go to in order to get clean power, especially with power cords. I know the cable will be pretty, but I have no expectation at all it will improve things. On... | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux I am going to cross post this. Turns out the 507ux is the first amp I have owned in a long time which is NOT AC grounded. The socket in the rear is a 2 pin, and the cable that comes with it is as well. AFAIK, in order to do this legally manufactur... | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing Hi @lak I had to go look, I never took it out of the box. It comes with a standard looking 14 gauge, 2 pin cable. That's a little interesting, meaning the unit is double insulated, and does not legally require a ground, and therefore, no ground lo... | |
| Dunlavy crossover upgrade? Who is the best to do this? Lots of good people can do this. Lots of inexpensive tools will help you measure coils, caps and resistors very accurately, in addition to the drivers themselves. Look around online, I wouldn't be surprised if you find that someone is selling repl... | |
| So...how does one hook up Electrostats to a Priimaluna HP Integrated......? You are talking headphones, not speakers? :) Yes, the DAC can feed your ES amp directly. Best,E | |
| Doing the Power Cord Thing So the Connex connectors weigh a combined total of a little over a pound! Honestly, yes, you can brag about it, but is this really good design? It's significantly more stress on most outlets than they were designed for. The DH Labs cable is very t... | |
| Parasound service problems Stop emailing and call them directly. :) Best,E | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker I don't see your goal in evidence, Kenjit. You state parts alone determine sound quality, and measurements trump experience.So, what box of parts have you landed on?? | |
| What is an Audiophile? Here's the list for newbies. I would just like to say, for the record, I am not an audiophile. I am a pot stirrer.Thank you.Erik | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ My last statement is all. No one should install anything in their service panel that has not been independently tested for safety. Anyone considering such a purchase should verify that this has occured, for any product. Audio, heating, car charger... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ I'm not about to fork over $5K for this.Any potential buyer should ask to see industrial certifications and test results for anything before they attach it to their electrical panel. Best,E | |
| Pulsars and the Mythical Armchair Speaker Maker Hi Gang,The cost of the Seas Diamond is $6,800 for a matched pair (only sold in pairs), and I think people are misreading that as the price of the speakers. Can anyone point me to the price of the actual Ascend speakers? JA at Stereophile did a _t... | |
| Perfect Path Tecnologies ‘The Gate’ Before I even get into performance, the main issue I have is fire safety.I don’t even want to have discussions about their other products or how effective this thing might be. First and foremost discussion should be about it’s construction and tes... | |
| Isolation Transformers It's a balanced power provider with a little surge and noise protection added. :) Nothing wrong with it, but it's' not going to regulate voltage. Best,E |
