| Uptone EtherRegen After burn in and careful attention to cabling I now find the EtherRegen to be wonderful and a keeper. Count me in another believer in this unit. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Cryo treating most all parts is a nice plus. It certainly does help somics in my humble opinion. I may buy a spool and have it cryo treated. Not crazy expensive to do really. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Thanks for the link. Too bad not cryo treated, but the prices are great! We should do a group purchase and get it cryo treated 🤓. TFA is always out it seems and slow shipping speed. Parts Connextion in CA ships overnight for $15! TFA charges twi... | |
| DAC Choices - $5,000 to $7,000 I can build you a better sounding usb than those if interested Tim. Let me know. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Yes always UPS Express! Always. USPS Is an absolute mess right now. 30 days to go 300 miles and so many more bad recent experiences. Just an utter and complete mess! | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Yes double on the digital yields the exact same improvements. More scale, dynamics, ease and a tad more presence. Have fun! | |
| Can Static Destroy Electronics? Yes static electricity can damage gear. Has happened to me and audio friends of mine. Dry, cold winters walking across a carpet and touching your stereo can indeed cause circuit board damage. I use a wooden knob on my preamp now! | |
| What does Roon give me beyond just Tidal HiFi? Snarky post for sure. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Double is always better. Double on both positive and helix. It just is. Is it day and night better? No. Just a tad better and if you want the most out of your build, then go for it! If you are going through the work and effort, then make it the be... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling That’s what I did! Thanks for be more precise Steve. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling The helix ground on your xlr is never a twisted pair, but always a coiled helix. It is not a huge sonic degrade if you just use one conductor as the helix. However, two sound a tad better. If using two wires on the helix, then just coil them up si... | |
| Who makes super quiet XLRs around $1k? It’s all about how the cable is shielded without hurting the sound. Most shielding closes in the sound even though it makes for less noise. Shielding is there to reduce noise and make a cable “quiet”. The quietest cable one can hear, based on my e... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @divertiti, The idea here is to build two individual XLR cables into one. If you do that, then this is the build. * Two twisted pairs with each individual twisted pair going to pins 2 and 3. Be careful not to mix up the wires when soldering to pin... | |
| Lifetime of Auricap capacitors ? I have your answer, but cannot share based on the truth of how those other realities matter as much as your need for an answer. | |
| If Steve Got You Last Week... Thanks Pete! |
