| aes / ebu digital cable choices I'm using a Cardas Neutral Reference AES/EBU. It is more laid back than the Mogami that I also have. I like it better than the Stereovox XV-2 SPDIF that it replaced but I haven't done many AES/EBU comparisons. | |
| Squeezebox+Power Supply+Reclocker or??? I'm in the same situation. I haven't found anything better than some squeezebox family member plus a reclocker for my needs. Right now that involves a Transporter feeding a Genesis Digital Lens and then a Theta Va DAC for redbook, then a direct co... | |
| Shunyata python vx VS black mamba cx Hi, I have compared both. Each has different strengths and weaknesses. For me, the CX are more extended up top and fairly even and the VX lower background hash. In my main system I ended up with a Python CX on my Genesis Digital Lens and a Python ... | |
| Help with Theta Ds Pro Gen V Bummer. I had some weird distortion with my Gen V as well that I eventually traced to my power cord not making a great connection with the ground. Once I was able to insert it flatter into the IEC socket, my problem went away, knock on wood :)I wo... | |
| Theta Digital Gen Va support 24/96 ? Elberoth2 is correct. The A version changed some of the analogue circuitry and possibly other things, but did not change the 16 bit 48 kHz max capability. There was a separate upgrade to allow it to convert 24/96 content (at 20 bits as Elberoth2 p... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood In the 30 Rock TV show, The Tracy Jordan Character has in his dressing room what appear to me to be Revel Salon speakers that are very prominent in many shots throughout many years of the series. I think there have been shots of the electronics as... | |
| shunyata python vx green or red connector Hey Thenis, I was going to point you to the discontinued products section on their site as well. As for Shunyata cables specifically for Digital, they stopped that practice with the CX line and only have one unified family now. Before, as you prob... | |
| PS audio Ultimate outlet or Quintet? I bought a duet and returned it since I didn't like the sound of it compared to my 20A HC Ultimate Outlet. I would say it is mostly different and definitely not an obvious upgrade in my opinion. | |
| Mapeshade cable lifts or any cable lifts? I've compared and noticed an audible difference between none, toilet paper rolls, cardas maple blocks, and Shunyata Dark Field elevators. Any of the risers were better than none. Between them it was more a matter of tuning than being necessarily b... | |
| Whom to invite to a Powercord shootout party I'd second a Shunyata Diamondback or Venom | |
| Opinions on the new Shunyata Black Mamba CX Yes, I have compared both Black Mamabas to the Python Helix Alpha and Helix Vx and to the Python CX (along with Diamondbacks and others). The Black Mambas are both nice. I would take either of them over a Python Helix Alpha/Vx on a source, and pro... | |
| Do I need ASIO for Windows 7 ? When I moved my T60 laptop from XP to Win 7, I noticed a huge improvement in sound quality. I was using Foobar2000 on both operating systems, but just kernel streaming (ASIO4ALL was too buggy for me) in XP and WASAPI in Windows 7. I confirmed with... | |
| Please advise: Upgrade Theta Gen V or PS Audio PW :) yeah, frustrating still, I know. I've wondered if balanced power would help. If you ever find a solution, please let me know. | |
| Has anyone tried the Shunyata Diamondback PC? I have been using a Diamondback since 2003. At that time, I had been using a Synergistic Master Coupler and ordered the Diamondback along with 3-4 other PCs up to around $350 each to perform a shootout. The Diamondback was the clear winner. The ap... | |
| Please advise: Upgrade Theta Gen V or PS Audio PW I have tried the PS audio Humbuster (within the UPC-200HB) on my Theta Gen Va and I still had the hum, which did not change. It isn't very loud on my DAC, so I just live with it. I can only hear it very late at night, and even then, it is slight f... |
