| Front Row Seat Power Cord? Accuphase specifically recommends against using any power cord other than the one they supply with their amp. So far they have been right. Haven’t found a power cord that improves the sound over the stock cord. | |
| How does sound influence your appreciation? My system is now at the point it is very revealing of the recording so I gravitate towards the best recordings when listening to Classical. With Qobuz I can survey many recordings of the same work until I find the best recorded version. Unless it ... | |
| DH Labs With exception of power cables all my cables are DH Labs Speaker Q10 Air Matrix XLR Interconnects XLR Digital Cable Reunion Ethernet Cable and just ordered the D750 Digital BNC for my Clock Cable upgrade from Blue Jeans Clean, clear, ba... | |
| Do you have a perfect digital marriage? Aurender N20 and MSB Discrete DAC. Musical, detailed, alive with a wonderful soundstage and imaging. | |
| Power Cord for Accuphase Amplifier As I mentioned in my OP I have been unable to find a third party Power Cord that sounds better than the stock cord delivered with my Accuphase P4600 Amplifier. With each I’ve had the same experience: A lack of air and openness in return for a mor... | |
| Current or Previous Harbeth Owners… My pre purchase comparison was The Revel Line of Speakers and Harbeth. I overwhelmingly preferred the Harbeth sound and presentation. Within that group I compared the Super5+, the M30 and the C7ES-XD. I was able to hear them with equipment similar... | |
| 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. |
