| The missing piece The piece of equipment I recently added to my system is the Silent Line Power Conditioner by Redcore audio. It bested my Synergistic Research Tesla Powercell and my Running Springs Audio Dimitri with the HZ power cord by such a large margin I sold... | |
| PurePowerAPS Canada concern Customer service? Pure Power has zero customer service and are not to be trusted. I had my 3000+ picked up by Richard of Pure Power in December of 2013 and promised a new improved unit by the end of January of 2014. It is now almost May of 2015 an... | |
| Review: Audio Desk Systems Vinyl Cleaner Tweak I purchased this cleaner from the Cable Comapny a couple years ago. I cleaned exactly 356 LPs; kept track of each to change fluid as recoomended. After several months of not cleaning an LP I flipped it on and the rollers wouldn't collapse onto the... | |
| Synergistic Research PHT - Phono Transducer A friend purchased the PHT; the Purple Haze and Blue Velvet and I was amazed at the sound improvement they made. Each was different sounding even though the same size and weight. I am not sure what Ted Denny is doing but these work. My friend has ... | |
| How Do You Feel about The Cable Game? Sabai, yes, I do still have my Powercell 10SE and like it very much. I wish I had the model with the tuning bullets on the cable as friends do. It is amazing what the tuning bullets can do. I agree with the acknowledgment of Synergistic Research's... | |
| How Do You Feel about The Cable Game? Who's paying you to slam Synergistic Research? So a designer continues to refine what he is doing; isn't that what Transparent does with it's network boxes? Seems like the old Reference line becomes the new Ultra line and everything moves down a s... | |
| Does HiRez really sound better? I recently did a comparison with a few experienced and knowledgeable audiophiles. I have three versions of a couple titles on my hard drive; redbook CD, 24/192 and DSD. Using my Baetis Revolution II Music server we started listening over the USB c... | |
| Chang Lightspeed or Running Springs Audio I am reading past threads on Running Springs Audio to see if others have had the superior service I just recently experienced with Running Springs Audio and the new parent company API Technologies/Spectrum Power. Jafant, your prediction of poor se... | |
| How is EMM DAC 2X? Before everyone runs out to buy a DSD DAC they should read this very insightful perspective.http://www.baetisaudio.com/DACs_and_DSD.phpThis analysis may change many minds. I performed this comparison and came away hearing and believing DSD convert... | |
| All else being equal............................. If solid state is your preference, I second the darTZeel LHC-208 'danalog' Streaming dac with integrated amplifier. This line of electronics is the finest sounding solid state one can purchase and while they seem expensive, they are cheap when you... | |
| How is EMM DAC 2X? Ketcham, it is interesting you mention the Resonance Mirus; it is superb and I almost bought this one, but liked the EMM Labs more. For the money, I agree, it is hard to beat. The designers of the Sabre DAC chip didn't like the way other manufactu... | |
| How is EMM DAC 2X? I own the EMM Labs DAC 2x and never knew there is a 2x SE. I love the sound of this DAC and the recent firmware update improved everything more than I thought it could. For the money, the PS Audio DSD unit is worth listening to and considering. Gr... | |
| ARC Quality Issues Ref75 Ref5SE Ref10 Knghifi, the Phi Beta units Kevin Hayes designed and built over ten years ago suffered from a military spec component that failed in many units within a year and half and for me this was very disappointing and it did cause me to lose valuable list... | |
| ARC Quality Issues Ref75 Ref5SE Ref10 That's why I switched to VAC gear! Sounds better too! |
