| The "Snake Oil" Trope @jerrybj What do people install fuses in? All the equipment I have ever owned, save one powered sub-woofer, never required a fuse.I suppose I don't understand where the fuse even comes into play. | |
| Synergistic FEQ X4 Impact On Other Digital Systems @millercarbon From what I have seen, the FEQ X4 has 4 antenna and they are attached at the four corners. The unit is 14 inches tall. And yes, it is a Schumann generator and likely over priced. Placement is going to be a challenge because the uni... | |
| Review Shunyata Venom V16 Power Distributor UPDATE:I contacted Shunyata to discuss what they thought about the devices connected that were making the noise on the system and the answer I got back was intriguing and new to me. It seems that some devices when "off" or not in use are still dra... | |
| What DAC to get? @yyzsantabarbara Thanks again! I think this one is the winner. I would get it right now at whatever price....but...I made promises and must wait 2 years :( | |
| What DAC to get? @yyzsantabarbara I may have to agree. It fits my budget and has the primary DAC component that has the sound signature I like. Thanks for that recommendation. :D@jjss49 I hear you. It's just the cable I bought is only a month or so old and costs ... | |
| What DAC to get? @jjss49 CDs are 44.1 @ 16 bit - 24bit (depending on when the CD was produced). They can be ripped to any number of lossless formats. Whether these files exist on a thumb drive, external drive or internal hard-drive, the bits are the bits. The Ace... | |
| What DAC to get? @fuzztone So your addition to this discussion is to belittle and shame because you don't like my setup? Nice. | |
| What DAC to get? @yyzsantabarbara So far, that Gustard X26 Pro looks like a good front runner :). Having two ES9038PROs, one for each channel, is basically like having two Cobalts. :) | |
| What DAC to get? @chorus $2K@soix I am going out of my Acer Helios 300 Predator Laptop into an Audioquest FMJ Jitterbug and the Audioquest Dragonfly Cobalt. Then going out via 3.5 Stereo Pin using Synergistic Research Foundation cable into Audioengine A2+ via ... | |
| Review Shunyata Venom V16 Power Distributor @femoore12 The fan and desk lamp I used to help burn in the Venom V16 (per the recommendation of the Shunyata rep) are ungrounded and had no effect on the speakers. In regards to the Point-O-Matic and the Steaedtler Electric Eraser, I think it h... | |
| Review Shunyata Venom V16 Power Distributor @millercarbon I have not tested the Venom V16 with its original feet vs the optional feet. Largely because when I set it up, the system needed to burn in, so doing any sound comparisons would have been skewed. The second problem will be the de... | |
| Review Shunyata Venom V16 Power Distributor @millercarbon Thanks! I was very excited to have this. It seems Shunyata hadn't sent out any review product for folks to review. I had been in constant contact with someone at Shunyata before I got it, so I had the inside scoop; so-to-speak. S... | |
| Review Shunyata Venom V16 Power Distributor @femoore12 Thanks! After about a month of use, it has settled in and performance is consistent. There is however something that it does not protect against and that is ground loop noise from ungrounded or poorly grounded devices. I am an illustrat... | |
| New to Turntables @bob540 Thanks! The DP-450 requires separate RCA and ground connection. I am using some old Audioquest Ruby X3s and I am using a single run of Audioquest Type-4 cable, with a crimped on spade as my ground cable. I also got the Ortofon 2M Red.A... | |
| DCM speakers for my Yamaha receiver... help me decide! I know this is an old thread, but I have a pair of DCM TF600s and I have used them on two Yamaha receivers (as well as a Sony and a Harmon Kardon) and they are a fantastic pair up. |
