| Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables? Your system’s current sound and what you want more or less of determines the type of cable you should buy. Yes cables can be used like seasoning in the hands of a chef. You’re a sound chef. While design, solid vs. stranded, cotton vs Teflon and on... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? T-ramey. I have owned all 3 versions of the TRL Dude. In addition, with the help of Paul the designer, I built a super Dude tricked out with all the best parts. Recently, I build my own version of the Dude with some differences, but much more in c... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? Bill I have to think the Coincident Statement Pre with the Coincident Frank amps would be heaven! I should also add the build quality of the Coincident gear is high. The point to point wiring is laid out superbly on both the amps and preamp. Why... | |
| Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions? I had a very fun time comparing two first class preamps. My modified Truth preamp vs Coincident Statement preamp. Both sound fantastic! I listened to both over some 10 hours. Here are the details of each unit. Coincident Statement Line-stage: Upgr... | |
| A method to more quickly extract the benefits from a Perfect Path Mat, Alpha Card or Gate Yes I say! | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? The Pagoda is not as good sounding as the Orchid to some ears. It is subjective for sure. Many think the Orchid is the gem of the MHDT Dac line. The upgrades I have done on the Orchid certainly increase the sound quality by at least 25-30%. The... | |
| Streamers with best apps? Roon is the best. I happen to use it with my Innuos unit. | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil Yes, do bypass with the CuTF Vcaps! Chris of Vcap shared with me this gem. The result is very good. .01 uf. | |
| A method to more quickly extract the benefits from a Perfect Path Mat, Alpha Card or Gate Sorry I did not clarify. The mats that I “charged” are only some 8 days on the gear (new). However, the dac is lower voltage and my no gain preamp is also lower voltage (15vdc) so this charging is a much quicker way of getting the most out of the... | |
| A method to more quickly extract the benefits from a Perfect Path Mat, Alpha Card or Gate Thank you OP for this thread. I did exactly as you said are darned if you are not 100% right. I charged two mats in my breaker box and put them back in my rig and the improvement was immediate and much more than I ever recall. Still have two mat... | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? I would love to bring a hot rodded Orchid over for a comparison to your two box Goliath DHT dac! Your power supply alone is 5 times the weight of the diminutive Orchid. | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil I have an update. I just completed an MHDT Orchid upgrade for a customer with the Vcap Odam & Bypass CuTF on the outputs. The unit has about 7 hours on it. Keep in mind I also upgraded 10 resistors to Vishay ZFoils and Audio Note Tantalum. To ... | |
| What's up with TMR Audio? Thanks TMR. Agree, the OP should have never posted on this. | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil Wig. They are said to perform even better, great results, with a .01uf Vcap CuTF as a parallel/bypass cap. That is how I am using them. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? That makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up. Now, a notorious modifier like myself has real reasons for a warranty to be voided 🤓. |
