| Why not? @holmz I said… — that your comfortable and convenient world of theories and measurements might implode if your ears tell you they’re hearing actual improvements? Or maybe you won’t find any improvements or maybe even decreased performance.... | |
| Eurozone sickness and 230v single phase vs 240v two-phase. Hi @holmz. I don’t know if you mean brands for the transformer (in which case, no, but I await an answer from ACUPWR) or for the amplifier (in which case, Audionet). I mean the euro manufactured electronics. Which brands of those? I have an... | |
| Why not? @soix and @holmz Funny story about that. A friend lent me a pair of MIT Terminator2 speaker cables. I put them in my system, replacing some Crutchfield generic cables, and was amazed! Clarity, texture! I was so smitten I bought a pair of MIT Term... | |
| Eurozone sickness and 230v single phase vs 240v two-phase. @carlsbad great write up! @p_s is there a particular set of brands you are considering? | |
| Eurozone sickness and 230v single phase vs 240v two-phase. … Disappointing. I returned 3 or 4 transformers before I found one that was true Euro power and caused the phase light to go off. Ok which brand was it? Or does the OP need to order 3 or 4 themselves, do it all again? | |
| Eurozone sickness and 230v single phase vs 240v two-phase. Now, I’m cheap but I can afford an electrician. So the question that follows is whether audio equipment cares about the difference between 230v single phase vs 240v two-phase. And if so, what’s the best way to make 230 single phase from 120 or 24... | |
| Why not? Why all the back and forth? Just try some better power cords — either buy used and sell at little/no loss or buy direct from the many direct sellers and take advantage of their generous trial/return policies — and if they don’t make a signific... | |
| Why not? I hate to make assumptions too, so I don’t @lalitk , but I will say you seem to have a talent for being abrasive even when you say you don’t mean to. Being lazy or cheap are not the only reasons someone might be dismayed at the state of the ca... | |
| Theoretical battery power supply question I’m toying with the idea of taking my audio system (minus the power amp) off the grid and using a lithium battery to power my streamer, DDC, DAC, and preamp. Alternatively one can get the DAC, Preamp, etc from some manufacturers as 12V battery ... | |
| Amplifier recommendation @holmz Alan March is presenting at a meeting of the Sydney Audio Club on Sunday which will give me a chance to evaluate his Purifi amps first hand. Not as good as trying out with your own system but better than nothing. @mazian Maybe you c... | |
| Power cords or power conditioner @thyname Let’s just leave it here: OK. Fair. Nothing you said is essentially terribly wrong. Once the OP sees if anything helpful can be done with speaker placement, then they can do the power cords. My main statement was that I would do th... | |
| Anyone else feel like it’s the Wild Wild West? It is probably a more effective strategy to just buy someone who is hungry a meal. | |
| Why not? @holmz nothing wrong with a stout power cable to accompany a stout power supply. Correct @jerryg123 - but the question is ”does anything become more right with a stout cable?” In terms of front end gear we have nothing shown so far to suggest t... | |
| Why not? “Cable denier “ is a term attached to people who declare (and for some reason pollute all audio forums) cables do NOT matter without even trying them. I hope this helps. Best regards But “Cable denier” is a term applied by cable believers. And ... | |
| Why not? Which Cardas or Kimber cables did you try Sherlock Holmes that did not make any difference? And on what? @thyname My dear @Watson) The tone of your post makes it look like you are invested in the idea of power cables, and I trust the manufactu... |
