| Furutech GTX-D NCF or Power Cord If one of the outlets in your porter port is available I agree with ebm, maybe consider plugging in an NCF Clear Line, or alternatively a Shunyata Venom Defender. YMMV, but I noted positive sq results in my 2 systems with both options. | |
| SPDIF Digital Cable Recommendations @willgolf - For what it may be worth as I have not heard the Wywiresw Diamond digital cable directly , but at the Cap Audio Fest in one room it was used between the Pacific and a Taiko Extreme server. Capital Audiofest 2021 Show Report Back ... | |
| Opinions on the SimAudio Moon 260D CD player/transport? I shifted from SPDIF RCA digital cable to AES digital cable between the Sim 260DT and the Mojo EVO DAC and realized an uptick in SQ | |

| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? When I purchased the Sim within the last year the price was $2K. I don’t know if they have raised the price. Glad you made yourself feel better with your little English lesson. I’ll do better next time | |
| Aqua 'La Diva' ($9k) or Gryphon 'Ethos' ($39k) versus. Pro-Ject CD Box RS2 T ($3k)? @tommylion Ignore the dismissive comment made above with respect to you settling for a midfi $1K player. Aside from the options that Charles mentioned, I’ll offer another that has programmable functionality - Simaudio 260DT. I have this tran... | |
| Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers…… @grannyring Lol.Never know about these things especially if one is an impulse shopper like me. Have an Ayon Audio integrated as well in my 2nd system. BTW - " I am a DIY novice at best" - I think from my personal experience with the double hel... | |

I am hands on familiar with biasing power tubes in 2 of my 3 integrated amps, frankly never thought about if or how preamp tubes were/are biased in those 3 amps or a tube preamp I have. Be... | |
| Circle Labs A200 Integrated amplifier review - It will appeal to both tube and SS lovers…… @gestalt - I've never had a hybrid integrated amp , the review notes the following "The bias for the tubes is provided by CR2032 batteries." Is it typical of hybrid amps to have the preamp tubes biased; and if so, biased in this manner? Is ther... | |
| CD transports Op, if you want to degrade your sound take this advice proffered above: "Any competently-designed player/transport (including DVD) will work just as well as a high-priced transport. Digital is not like analog where more costly turntables sound... | |
| Impedance Matching Confusion "The user manual says that it can drive a pair of 4 ohm speakers if only one set of the binding posts are being used" It would seem that Sony has stated not to use both amp terminals to drive 4 ohm speakers. Why risk potential damage, or at th... |
