| 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 🤓. | |
| MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3? No way opening up the case should or will void a warranty. I am not just hooking up a piece of gear that was shipped from Poland without first making sure all tubes are seated properly and nothing is loose. Standard operating practice. @lampizato... | |
| What's up with TMR Audio? Seems nobody is perfect. ‘‘Tis the season for joy and forgiveness. All is and will be good around this transaction. Enjoy family! | |
| What's up with TMR Audio? No issue, it’s the holidays. You will get your piece of gear as they are the real deal and sell to many, many happy customers. You are right about how they should have messaging stating when they will be back from vacation. I suppose they felt w... | |
| Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil I have used and continue to use the Duelund silver and Sn-Cu bypass caps. Both are great. I find the Sn-cu, like the main Sn-Cu cap, are the best caps out there. They are simply beautiful sounding with all the detail and openness one could ever wa... | |
| Network Switches I 3rd it! Thanks for the update. The Cat 7 Ethernet cables I purchased from SOtM really upgraded the sound of my system. They do matter! |
