Audience Au24 SE power cord Upgrade
Happy Thanksgiving Lalit! I just upgraded my DAC so will need to sell some components before circling back to upgrading my aR units and may attempt to DIY the Furutech sockets upgrade on one unit.Re FI28 vs FI50. I only have one PC with FI50 which... 
Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all
Thanks Rob! I assume you use a standard black 3/8" PET sleeve over the twisted WE 10ga / 14ga wires. The Belden 8402 part is also on its way. Would you recommend any additional shielding (one end soldered to avoid ground loops)? 
Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all
Just found out about the WE 16ga and ordered some from Teresa for SC but would love to try the thicker ones out for PC. Which plugs/IEC worked best for you so far? I have good experience with Furutech F11 and F28. And what about the sleeve to keep... 
Audience Au24 SE power cord Upgrade
Happy listening Lalitk! Must sound excellent. Did you try other types of power conditioning before making such an investment? Straight from the dedicated line or do you have something like a balanced transformer before the aR?I am thinking upgradi... 
Upgrade for Cary 306?
I have been using the 306 as transport for the AMR DP-777 for a couple of years with satisfaction. Always used with the upsampling function (24/96) on. 
Audience Adept Mod
Bacardi: what power cords are you using on your upstream devices? Which ones works best on amps with the aR6-TSS? 
Audience Au24 SE power cord Upgrade
I went from Cardas to Audience and other brands for power cords a long time ago. Never tried upgrading the plugs of Audience power cords as their power cords are very thick wires that aren't easy to work with.Furutech FI-28(R) got overall good com... 
Sony 9000ES or DVP S7700 as transport?
/Jafant: it is the DVP-9000ES, bought more than a decade ago as SACD/CD player for the main system and relegated to the second system as transport. 
Sony 9000ES or DVP S7700 as transport?
Thanks, I am trying to look for a smaller unit than the 9000ES that would be an easier fit between the bookshelves 
Best drink while listening to your rig?
Thanks for the tip for Remy Martin 1738. My favorite is the Prince D'Arignac Napoleon Xo Armagnac 
AMR DP-777, what am I missing ?
Essrand, did you stick with the DP777? Upgrading the tubes with great NOS helped a lot. Power is also, as always, important, I used at the end the SR Red fuse which has offers more dynamics than HiFiTuning Supreme and a CH X-20 power cord. 
HiDiamond cables burn-in
@Barto, I presume you mean the powerChord E power cable (not IC). In general, I like Audience and their (passive) power conditioners suit me best (they are the among the very few to provide individual filtering on each outlet and caps do make a lo... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
+2 Rlawry: spot on description! I started with the CT1 IC which was, as also described in my systems page, a no brainer upgrade from my NordOst Valhalla IC and I have been somewhat hooked to HFC since then with upgrades, now having a full loom CT1... 
HiDiamond cables burn-in
Barto, the P4 is another league compared to the P3 and suits indeed best on the wall or on power amps. I've tried more expensive PC and find that HD offers great value/money, esp if you want a relaxing sound. I have relegated the NordOst Valhallas... 
Experience with AMR DP-777
6 weeks ago the price was $1,200. Darren of Avatar needs to decide if he want to invest in a long term relationship with AMR as a real distributor and stop squeezing the market with his short term / short sighted approach (more like a bad dealer),...
