| Recommendation for input coupling caps Thanks for the comments.Audyn True Cooper Max and the Tri-Ref were on my shortlist. They are bigger than the Mundorfs so I ruled them out.. although they may fit I've I'm creative. BTW, the True Copper (not max) only start at higher values and see... | |
| Best sounding compact integrated amp < $2k? I've tried a few British integrateds, and I loved the Exposure 2010S2D the best by far. Someone else here also recommended the 3010S2.. I haven't compared but I'm sure its great as well | |
| Ayre Codex or Bryston The DAC is less important in my opinion than the source. It sounds like you want the Codex for functionality. True, but I am still interested to know the comparison.I have the same functionality with the Bryston, but if I get comparable results... | |
| Ayre Codex or Bryston Thanks @limniscate. Do you know how it is compared to the Bryston combo I already have?For USB, I'm using "just" a iFi iUSB + iPurifier.. your suggestions look more higher end | |
| W4S or Bryston Thanks for the feedback. The SST2 is twice the price so a bit out of my budget.Other components are BHA1, BDA2 and PMC DB1i, so hopefully the higher frequencies won't be an issue | |
| W4S or Bryston Thanks @audioconnectionAny other feedback? I’m contemplating pulling the trigger on a 2B SST or 2.5B SST2 to replace the w4s | |
| Amp matching for PMC (small room setup) In the spirit of tube suggestions, there a few interesting Rogue Audio listings currently, if anyone has input on that | |
| Amp matching for PMC (small room setup) Hi Ron, that is an interesting suggestion. I had not taken tubes into consideration, and am not familiar with Decware.The room is approx 10x15 ft | |
| Best small used monitors under $1000 I had Neat Motive 3, Monitor Audio GX50 and Epos K5.Then got PMC DB1i ... those PMC's blow them all away for me.Simply amazing | |
| Isolation feet/cones for PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC @ghosthouse all is good. In general I am really interested in DIY and the topics discussed.In this specific case, given the responses to the effectiveness of the DH cones and their current price, I don't think its worth the effort.For pure experi... | |
| Isolation feet/cones for PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC I think I may just try both at this points. If I like the DH cones better I'll move the tenderfeet to my integrated amp | |
| Isolation feet/cones for PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC Thanks for the additional input.My system is on a custom rack made of Baltic birch plywood. Each shelf is about 30 mm thick and the feet have 4 stainless steel spikes on the bottom.Seems like a similar situation | |
| Isolation feet/cones for PS Audio NuWave DSD DAC @lowrider57 Thanks for the response. How did replacing the stock feet with the Tenderfeet influence your system? | |
| Finally absolutely satisfied with my system @bondmanp I know what you mean. I myself, have made some slight adjustments since this post :)I am atleast happy that I didn't have the urge to replace any of the main components, but I did do some tweaking since such as adding a iFi iUSB and iPur... | |
| Various power cables, which would you put where? Hi @jafant, not sure I understand your question. |
