| Holo Audio May DAC I just ordered my May DAC. May the fun begin!!! | |
| Installing Dedicated Power Lines -- Need Advice I just wanted to add to what @jdoris said above. Your electrician may laugh at you when you tell him you want 10 gauge romex. He might ask if you plan to use an arc welder in that room. Don't let him change your mind. Tell him what you want and if... | |
| Raven Audio Nighthawk FYI, to anyone interested. There is a very nice Blackhawk that was just listed on that other audio mart site. | |
| Second opinions — how have others (including non-audiophiles) helped you? I can share a story where an audiophile helped me out. I was intent on trying a tube amp in my system. I found a good deal on the exact amp I wanted to try about 7 hours drive from my home. The seller and I discussed our systems and what we wanted... | |
| Surge protectors and power conditioners - Good idea or bad? I realize I keep harping on this but a balanced power unit will give you clean 120v power with no noise. As long as it provides sufficient instantaneous amp draw, there should be no problem using it for a power amp. For example, the Furman IT Ref ... | |
| Surge protectors and power conditioners - Good idea or bad? I have always leaned toward surge protection and balanced power in one unit. Furman makes a couple of units. The home unit is the IT-REF 20I. the pro-version is the P-2400 IT. Each will provide 20 amp balanced power to make your system black while... | |
| Why not more popular? I have to agree with @wrm57 . I also purchased a pair of well known open baffle speakers. I describe them as the best, most boring speaker I ever owned. They certainly were very detailed and had a great sound stage but just didn’t have the same wa... | |
| R to r dacs A friend of mine has the MSB R2R DAC and it works well with the MSB CD transport. I owned the CD transport for while but it wasn't as impressive w/o the DAC. I can't say how the DAC is as a stand alone unit. I use a Holo Audio Spring DAC which is ... | |

| Stirring Up Trouble @paul6001 First of all I commend you for your writing skills. The manner in which you deviate from the original point yet keep it relevant is refreshing. As the husband of a PhD in neurophysiology I can also tell you that you are correct that you... | |
| Thoughts on balanced power For my two cents, read above. Based on its past reputation I would lean toward Equi-Tech vs Equi-Core. You are on the right track though if you’re considering balanced power. My system is completely black with my BPT 2.5 Signature. I plug my amp i... | |

| Anyone have the Answer? MC is exactly correct in this description which is what Garth Powell discusses (and demonstrates) in the video link I posted. I'm not advocating for or pushing Audioquest products but as a former engineer with Furman Power he offers a lot of usefu... | |
| Anyone have the Answer? Here's your answer. I believe a balanced power unit makes sense. I was able to obtain mine for under $1K. My system is completely black.https://equitech.com/what-is-a-balanced-power/Also, watch this......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITkuBgFtTjs |
