| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? @secretguy Your snideness is no secret, guy | |
| Can a better power cable make a difference if NOT plugged directly into an outlet? In my experience, power cables always affect the sound, no matter where in your system they are. The more length, the more they seem to impart their sonic characteristics. After tons of testing, one could probably approximate a connectors/plugs to... | |
| Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality The Muon ethernet cable is really very good, though, in tonality, naturalness, and lower noise floor. It’s the best whether cable I’ve ever used. | |
| Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality @thyname The attached cable is downstream of the filter. The filter box itself has a female rj45 jack | |
| Spade vs. banana plug When I look at my banana plugs, the first thing that comes to mind is always bananas. A perfectly named connector. | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses @jafreeman The SR fuses' high freq are attenuated when inserted the wrong way. I know because I've tried them all both ways. It's not hard to hear. Cymbals sound bad. | |
| New Synergistic Master Fuse @jerrybj Go for it. Your DAC is the place to do it. 30 days money back if you don’t think it’s worth it. | |
| New Synergistic Master Fuse @lordmelton I found out that you can over-do it with the Master Fuses. As Ted says, you get the best result with the use of Master Fuses in your source equipment and Purple fuses in the rest of the chain. The Master Fuses primarily emphasize the... | |
| Anyone regretting Pontus 2 firmware upgrade @jaytor Good news indeed. I'm happy to be totally wrong about the impression I got regarding update revertibility. | |
| New Synergistic Master Fuse That reviewer gave it a 5/5 on 16 of 17 categories, and a 4.5/5 on the other category. I don't know about that virtually perfect rating, but I agree it's a very good sounding fuse. | |
| Anyone regretting Pontus 2 firmware upgrade Also, my take is that the bass frequency response curve is more pleasant than before. The sub-bass was too boosted before relative to other frequencies. | |
| Anyone regretting Pontus 2 firmware upgrade You can’t roll back the update once it’s done. I inserted my recently updated Pontus II into my primary sound system, which is highly modded with tweaks for noise reduction all throughout the signal chain and power distribution, and I didn’t fin... | |
| Subwoofer - thoughts on Rythmic F12 I'll echo the comments from @bdp24 but with a little more enthusiasm because my upgrade was actually from an SVS SB-2000 to a Rythmik F12G. The lighter weight paper cone with the servo motor tech is extremely fast and articulate, all the way down ... | |
| Denafrips FPGA Firmware Update I have a Pontus II in my secondary system which I did the recent FPGA firmware update for and I found the sound quality changes to be sweeping improvements. Very happy with it, and hearing similar results in quality to what most here have been say... | |
