| MQA ? Pono? What's better than the CD? For the bazillionth + 1 time: MQA has no DRM. There is no management of rights. Only authentication of data. And they can rave all they want to. I've been very pleased with a number of DAC's over the past 3-5 years. MQA is a barely noticeable chan... | |

| Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps? @dchang1981 I do believe this is possible, but not common. It needs time domain measurements, patience and LOTS of data. Audio measurements are too often really simple things. Steady state sine waves, sweeps, square waves. There are a lot of tests... | |
| Hum hum hum What exactly do you mean by switching cables, and hum goes to the other one? Does this mean the hum is going from one side to the other? If so, bad cables. :) E | |
| Use of a 110 VAC to 230 VAC Step-up Transformer for CD player. OP - A lot of transformers are dual-voltage. A qualified tech may be able to re-wired it internally to switch for you. If the CD player is made for Europe and the US this is very likely. Best,E | |
| Replacing Parasound p7, but with what? As a current P7 owner, I have some thoughts. I have had the chance to listen to the P7 vs. the Mytek Brooklyn DAC wired directly to my amps. The Brooklyn has it's own analog volume control. So I've been able to directly compare how the P7 change... | |

| Recommendations for spade lugs for 14 ga conductor? Are you using this just for the sub inputs? Don't get too expensive. If you were using a passive sub, I'd recommend the WBT folding type of spades.Otherwise something inexpensive. Check out Parts Connexion, lots of choices there. :) | |

| Class D Technology @mapman Thanks for your observations. I've never been drawn to McIntosh, so I never end up listening to them for long. :) Best,E | |
| Oppo 105D high frequencey sizzling issue anyone help me suggesting a mod that i can do or? I wish I could find a schematic. If it's anything like other designs the mods are simple. Bypass the 100uF coupling caps with some 1uF film caps such as Cornel Dubelier (sound OK, and small) or replace the caps and bypass them with Elna s. Best,E | |
| Why does it take so many hours to brea in arc preamps and amps? @georgelofi Yes, it was on a red warning sticker on the outside of the DAC 8. Well, not a sticker so much as a big red sheet taped to the outside. Clearly they intended buyers to see it before making up their minds. That DAC is long gone, and I h... |
