| Mutec MC3+ word clock drop outs I may have to join all the tracks from one 'album' together to achieve seamless playback...Exactly -- I find these issues don't happen with every track on my playback from USB sticks, only with some cases, and usually problems with PCM files not D... | |
| Mutec MC3+ word clock drop outs My first thought having had similar "drop out" issues (in my case high volume clicks) when playing hi-res files in my Vivaldi stack is to wonder if its a DCS issue not anything to do with the clock. Do you get the same issues when you play the fil... | |

| Ground Wires for Turntables If the wire is there the simply strip it bare and tighten that down under the earth point on your amp. If there’s no wire then you could simply run a wire from the table (usually under a screw on the back say) to your amp ground but if you don’t h... | |
| Ground Wires for Turntables The ground wire is part of the cord coming out of the turntable (i.e. there should be two RCA plugs and a spade connector) the spade connector is the ground that you attach to your phono stage or pre-amp. It may sound better with or without the gr... | |
| if I buy an ultrasonic cleaner for my records will I be able to hear the difference? While I echo @cleeds observations regarding convenience for me the real benefit of the us cleaner is how it improves the detail and resolution in LP playback. I used to own VPi and ClearAudio vacuum cleaners and the best thing these did is clear t... | |
| Review Audioquest Hurricane (part 2) @jay23 no, while I use Galileo LE for my CD player and pre amp I’ve always leaned to AQ for power amps. I will say that the Galileo LE was only a slight improvement over WEL on my pre amp so I suspect the Dragon would be very nice (based on how mu... | |

| Audioquest custom made triple weave design power cable (Storm Series). Regarding stiffness, yes they are but not unacceptably so and they do hold their shape. I have the Dragon HC so as stiff as they come. You need a 3' or so turning circle to get them to go into anything. So in my case with power amps alongside powe... | |
| Can You Recommend a Good High Res Digital Audio Player? I just purchased an A&K AK70 new from Amazon -- not a current model but great value at $450 or so. A&K have a broad range of excellent models any of which would meet your needs so look out for a deal at the price that suits you. The interf... | |
| Auditioned Magico A3 - VERY DARK... I own Magico speakers. However if I'd gone on what I hear at shows I doubt I'd have any. Without exception Magico show demonstrations are terrible. Usually matched with uber expensive and uber soulless solid state they tend to hi-fi special effect... | |
| Left/Right Orientation of Piano Recordings -- Any Preferences? Agreed @testpilot so when you actually listen in a concert the piano has little to no left right orientation at all as, excluding differences in lengths of the bass vs higher note wires the whole thing is just in one point on the stage for the ide... | |
| Looking for Audioquest Email or Phone Contact +1 on the suggestion of Alasdair -- he's dealt with all my needs for cutting and re-terminating lots of my cablesI also often work through my local AQ dealers who have always been helpful as well | |
