| Synergistic element copper good for power amp? I think not in the Element series. There are three models in the Element series, Copper, Tungsten, and CTS Copper-Tungsten-Silver. No equivalent gauge specified for all three. | |
| Synergistic element copper good for power amp? Just to give an update. I bought the Element copper, but unfortunately, it is not a good match on my monoblocks in my system. However, they works well on my CD, streamer and DAC. I will keep using my PS audio AC12 for now. The next I want to t... | |
| Synergistic element copper good for power amp? @coralkong there are three version of the Element: Copper, Tungsten and CTS. Which version are you using? The CTS is the top of the line which no doubt can handle the high current, but it is out of my budget. I am considering the Element Copper... | |
| Synergistic element copper good for power amp? Thanks for the suggestion. I am mainly interested in SR power cords based on my experience. I collected a couple over the years and they gave me good results. I am looking for something to improve the soundstage over the PS Audio statement I am us... | |
| Synergistic element copper good for power amp? @carlsbad2 sorry, I am not specific. I am looking for power cable. Thanks. | |
| Balanced Power Technology BPT3.5 running very hot @curiousjim Yes, but unfortunately, this company no longer exist, and I tried to find the contact of the designer but no luck. | |
| Balanced Power Technology BPT3.5 running very hot @carlsbad2 my Power Plant Premier doesn’t have a watt meter, unfortunately. I did the test today. I didn’t have anything plug in, and after 10 hrs, it becomes too hot to touch. The heat is build up gradually. At about 5 hrs, it gets quite warm... | |
| Balanced Power Technology BPT3.5 running very hot @charles1dad thanks for the reply, although not a very good news for me. I will do a test, I wonder if it is because of the PS Audio Power Plant. My set up is this: wall outlet -> BPT 3.5 -> PS Audio PPP -> my equipment. my PPP also... | |
| Coincident Statement Line Stage vs Jadis JP80MC vs EAR 868PL vs Aesthetic Janus @charles1dad Thanks. Yes, upgrading the power is very worthwhile because essentially all equipments are benefit from it. in fact, I bought the EAR 868PL. It is a very good preamp. However, I got similar feeling as the Modwright. It sounds d... | |
| Coincident Statement Line Stage vs Jadis JP80MC vs EAR 868PL vs Aesthetic Janus Just to give an update. I am now happy with the sound and bass of my system with the Coincident Line stage and here are the changes I have made: 1) added a 3kVA Isolation transformer 2) a Synergistic Research Powercell 6 conditioner 3) use a S... | |
| Add a Linear power supply or iFi SPDIF Purifier2? Just an update, I bought a LPS from China for $200 and there is a significant improvement over the switch mode power supply. The most obvious improvement is the bass. Money well spent. | |
| Making DC power cable with 3 wires @carlsbad Thank you very much! | |
| Making DC power cable with 3 wires @carlsbad Cable is Gotham 86215, 16AWG. I want to use it to between the LPS and Naim streamer, 12 V, 4.2A. @glennewdick Connectors are 2 hole GX16 out from LPS, DC2.5G into the Naim. So, there is no ground. Just wondering which way is conce... | |
| Add a Linear power supply or iFi SPDIF Purifier2? @fuzztone thanks for your PM. Yes, buying from AliExpress or from China directly basically means not returnable. I tried search Amazon but can’t find similar LPS. I may try eBay later. | |
| Add a Linear power supply or iFi SPDIF Purifier2? I also don’t quite understand how to setup optic Ethernet. Both the NAS and streamer are connected to the router. And the Ethernet cable between the streamer and router is long. So, with optic ethernet, the idea is to connect thebstreamer and r... |
