| What is the latest greatest USB add on device? I also have the SOTM TX USB Ultra as well as the 500 power supply. I ended up using my DIY Duelund starquad double shielded DC cable. It sounds fantastic, but not quite as good as the Dual Poe. It is amazing what a good DC cable can do for your... | |
| What is the latest greatest USB add on device? The DC cable used on LPSs is critical. More important than even the PC used on the LPS. The POE based DC cable I mentioned above is even better than the various starquad cables out there. They are just a pain to fit into your rack! Sound-wise the... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? The best way is to connect an O ring to each home run wire by a combo crimp/solder. Gather each live and stack them on a 1/4 thick bolt tighten the top nut and all the O-rings will be tightly pressed onto each other for a great connection. Use the... | |
| Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400. Best off using the 2170 with no other dac. That is first. If you choose to use another amp, then it is hit or miss vs the using the 2170 on its own as your all in one solution. I have found the 2170 sounds best on its own with proper conditionin... | |
| Aurender vs. Roon Thanks thyname. The dealer let me use a Roon Nucleus until the Zen 3 is in. I love how simple this unit is to use with a Roon and a Tidal. Took me 5 minutes! Nice. However, the sound is just average and nothing special. My old tricked out Window... | |
| Does anyone care to ask an amplifier designer a technical question? My door is open. The inside of Ralph’s amps are pieces of art! Love the layout and skilled construction. | |
| Who Here Makes Their Own Power Cables? Send me one Uber! Or the wire....please. | |
| Who Here Makes Their Own Power Cables? Yes. The wire is 12 gauge. One run for each pole....live, neutral and ground. Twist as I said above. This is not a cable ......but individual wire runs. Simple to build as I pointed out. The connectors on the link I gave should be used. They a... | |
| 8 track CRUSHES CD,Vinyl and everything else!!! No doubt! Kills those other mediums every time! | |
| Who Here Makes Their Own Power Cables? Build these for around $100. My customers tell me they are better than a host of power cables selling for up to $1200. No joke. That has been my experience and I have owned and made a gaggle of power cords using expensive bulk Neotech, Furutech an... | |
| Reasonable RCA Connectors? Just make a set with the KLEI and then with Switchcraft using Duelund 16 gauge. Now listen for several weeks as burn in needed. A good rig high in Fidelity is also needed. I am confident if you do and have all this you will come away with great fi... | |
| Duelund RCA interconnects...opinions My experience has been very different having owned a gaggle of various end cables. Duelund just sounds more like real music and not Hifi. Sure some wire has more perceived resolution and sharper leading edges, but I have found through long term li... | |
| Aurender vs. Roon Just purchased the Innuos Zen 3 with 1 TB of storage. Will use it with my SOTM TXUltrausb reclocker and SOTM 500 power supply. Hopefully will get it mid February. | |
| Aurender vs. Roon I will still use the SOTM combo. Thanks for the additional info! My current server sounds very good and I do hope the Innuos sounds at least as good. Just won’t know until I get it I guess. I have my current Sound Science Music Vault Ultra II pr... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Also the Wago connectors everywhere should go in the 150 and 300. Consider Auricap XO .47 caps on the outlets. Some of the toroidals buzzzzzzzz........I had to put DC blocking circuits in mine to quiet them down. |
