| SATA wires vs filter I received a slightly used SOtM PCI USB card the other day and it's really made an improvement to an already good system. Sweet and everything clear is focused. No more roaming instruments. One store selling the SOtM filter says it's better fit fo... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Thanks. My concern is that the P3 + D8 IC combo has been a little edgy (about 425 hrs in on the IC and much more on the others). | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Of course it is, but how so? Is the P4 just a whole lot better of the same or are there some differences in tonality/timbre, sense of presence and such, i.e., in its central defining character? I don't have any idea, but was wondering if the P3 is... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... @Bacardi, four P3s in the desktop system, along with a D8 pair.In terms of presentation, i.e., sense of presence and tonality, are the P4s more refined - cleaner, more delicate, instruments more palpable - than the P3s? I assume the P4 is more in ... | |
| Hidiamond Cables, Do these reveal the live show? I can't answer about $2K plus cables, but HiDiamond's P3 power cords are on a whole another level - maybe two! - beyond the TWLs (10+, 8+), Teresonic and the WyWires silver (Juice 2). I just got a pair of D8 ICs, which are currently on a cooker, b... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Received two more P3s today, inserted them - so three P3s and 1 TWL 10+ - and the dryness disappeared, while lots more of other things appeared. | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Fplanner2000, suggestions for RCA ICs that would live better with HDs? This is dac to Focal powered speakers. | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... (I posted a reply over 24 hrs ago with links to two Teresonic reviews, but it hasn't shown and there hasn't been a decline notice). Unlike most silver ICs, the Teresonic Clarison IC is not dry - I would have returned it otherwise - tho it's not pa... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Replacing mainly TWLs. I haven't found the Teresonic ICs dry, tho not warm either, and neither did the reviewers awhile back (they're allegedly still the same): http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue43/teresonic_clarison.htmhttp://dagogo.com/teres... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... I need to add that I wrote the previous post after a frustrating several hour session with the TV system. Upon return to the computer one, with the P3 between (Maestro) outlet and UberBuss, it didn't sound half bad, though still a touch dry. I neg... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... I've got a question about the HiDiamond P3's. I bought a 2m demo supposedly with 200 to 300 hours and have put in another 190 so far. I've now tried it in various positions and cord combinations in two sonically different systems (listed below), a... | |
| Electrical interference in desktop system Hum-X quieted it down, now almost inaudible ear to speaker. | |
| Electrical interference in desktop system To pick this up again, I've tried both the Panamax M5300-EX line conditioner and Mapleshade power strip (Mk II Plus) with the same result. Starting with the Focal speakers and Dell monitor plugged into the conditioner/strip, if I plug the computer... | |
| Electrical interference in desktop system Any thoughts? I've just received a pair of Teresonic silver ICs and it's like listening to the inside of the computer with soundstaging. | |
| Buying speakers ten or more years old a good idea? Earlier this year I pulled a pair of Sound Dynamics 300ti's from around the mid 1990s that had been stored (boxed) since 2001, part of that in a garage that got down as low as 36F in winter, and they sounded quite good, pretty much as I remembered... |
