| Accuphase class A amps - going up the food chain from an A-48 to an A-80 or A-300? @miguelderivero I’m sure you mean the sound of the P4600 is a combination of sold state and tube and not that it is a hybrid. But I agree it sounded better to me than the MacIntosh SS sound although the M462 which is a fine amp less expensive bu... | |
| Accuphase class A amps - going up the food chain from an A-48 to an A-80 or A-300? @toronto416 I own an Accuphase P4600 Power Amp and can strongly recommend this component. Plenty of power and runs cool. Beautifully made. Beautiful sound. | |
| Word Clock Cable Upgrade @dolfan No doesn’t work that way. You need a specific Word Clock connection between the Streamer and DAC for the Streamer to be synchronized with the DAC clock. I believe this means the DAC clock is the driver. | |
| Word Clock Cable Upgrade @m2team00 Yes Syncing with the MSB definitely sounds better even with my Lie cost Blue Jeans cable. The question is how much influence does the cable have. Will l get better sound with a more up scale cable? Does the cable make much of a differ... | |
| Word Clock Cable Upgrade @m2team00 Yes. You are correct I typed it in wrong. Anyway any experience with Clock Cable upgrades | |
| The End of My Search for a Power Conditioner @12many My Accuphase P4600 Amp is plugged into the wall. Sounds slightly better that way. More open. | |
| Pass labs krell parasound amps I moved from a Benchmark AHB2 to an Accuphase P4600. Yes the Benchmark had a sharpness in the lower treble but also a powerful base. It’s still a real bargain if paired with the right speakers that are very warm. Even with my Harbeths I still foun... | |
| Aurender and native DSD output Aurender support will answer all your questions. The number is in the manual. Support via phone is excellent. Call them! | |
| Amp pairing for ATC SCM11 (v2) @small_heretic I had the Benchmark AHB2 Amp for several years with those ATCs. It worked really well. Those speakers need power to sound their best and they sound better at slightly higher volume. | |
| Stack Audio Products Review @agisthos @lalitk I agree with your assessment of the sound presentation of the Stack AUVAs. However I found that only to be true when the AUVAs were placed under my speaker stand with the larger 25mm spikes. When I place the AUVAs directly... | |
| The End of My Search for a Power Conditioner @cleeds Its really signal grounding when you attach the grounding wire to the Power Conditioner and the to an RCA in or out on your component rather than to a ground lug or screw | |
| The End of My Search for a Power Conditioner @lalitk My understanding is that is source grounding not component grounding. I’ll have to check with Shunyata | |
| The End of My Search for a Power Conditioner @lalitk How did you connect a ground wire to your Accuphase? On my P4600 there’s no grounding terminal. And what type of wire did you use? | |
| The End of My Search for a Power Conditioner @lalitk No I have not tried the grounding yet. I’ll be receiving my Gemini this week. I may try it once it’s burned in. I have to see exactly where to connect the grounding wires on my other components. | |
| The End of My Search for a Power Conditioner @jafant Grounding is not required It’s an optional feature to be used if you want. The Gemini series has been designed with multiple grounding posts unlike the other models which only have one or two. |
