| Logitech Squeezebox v7.9 works with Mac Yosemite It has been mentioned often enough, the power supply is critical. In both my systems I still use the Touch with sw mods (a.o. Toolbox from soundcheck, 192kHz enabled,...) with a medical grade linear power supply topped off with modern Teflon capac... | |
| Audience Adept Mod /Bacardi: if you still like the HiDiamond power cords (I also have the P4 as you may know), you will absolutely love the AR6-TSS. I presume you bought it used (recently on the Gon?) so no burn in needed. | |
| Tube amp modding Anybody tried a really expensive set of 6922 or equivalent on it/them (LP70/LP140) and noticed big difference?/Plasmatech: well that's the plan, just a bit hesitant as it will take at least 300h before I hear the real beauty, will burn them in els... | |
| Fuses that matter. Anyone compared the SR Red vs the Audio Horizons Platinum? I have HiFi Tuning Supreme and would like to upgrade for (even) more dynamics and details. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz @Calvinj: if you have read my comments in this thread you know I have HFC for a while (and for a couple of months in both my systems). In fact I am currently upgrading to an all CT1-U interconnects from source to amps as mentioned in my systems pa... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz +1 Calvinj: well said. Audiolabyrinth is known NOT to have any serious stuff except his only and beloved TL cord and he abuses Audiogon to make himself important (cfr his answers on other threads). I feel sorry for TPG and others who take him seri... | |
| Tube amp repair shop in/near NYC? Thanks for the recommendations! It turned out to be two defective tubes that I tried sequentially, making me deduce incorrectly that the amp is defective. I called the first one, Ben Jacoby at HEAR audio in Brooklyn and he pointed out to that poss... | |
| HiDiamond Power cords... Kzhtoo, I am pretty sure the HD D8 is a big step up from the NordOst Frey (is that what you use currently?). Not familiar with the Frey but having (had) Valhalla IC, some mid range NordOst SC and still a bunch of Valhalla PC which is IME the faste... | |
| Audience Adept Mod Dentdog: I have tested many power conditioners (active and passive ones) in my systems and the Audience power conditioners does not limit the dynamics of power amps, YMMV. | |
| Entry level Silent Source Signature speaker cables +1 and I am interested how the Silent Source Reference power cable stack up against LessLoss DFPC Reference, CH Acoustic X-20 and Stealth Dream V10 PC or Silent Source Signature PC against the more affordable variants of the above mentioned manufa... | |
| Experience with AMR DP-777 Vacant, why not share that info with us? | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES or NAD M51? Second that, if the HAP-Z1ES has digital input and a decent digital volume control, I would be all over it. | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES or NAD M51? I first replaced the wall wart with CI linear power supply. Big improvement! As an engineer who dealt with measurements devices and familiar with Hewlett-Packard quality, I got a HP 62005E on EBay just for fun (many are under $100, there are vario... | |
| Sony HAP-Z1ES or NAD M51? Go to slimdevice forum and download the third part app that enables 24/192 and add other goodies onto the Touch. Then replace the 5V DC wall wart with a linear power supply, best lab grade, add a proper after market power cord / socket and it gets... | |
| Experience with AMR DP-777 This unit is sensitive to ESD so wear a discharge wristband or, if you don't have one, make sure you ground yourself and don't pick up any charge ( e.g. walk over carpets). The NOS tube upgrade is worth it!I am also a bit disappointed about the ex... |
