| Digital Path to Complete my System An Aurender N200 and an MSB Discrete DAC would be $18,500 and hard to beat at that price. I have the MSB with Aurender N20. The DAC is more critical than the streamer. Put your money there. | |
| Did anyone return a PSAudio Powerplant? Why? I ordered a Power Plant 3 yesterday. So will have it for the next severe heat wave. Will post my experience. Plan to use it for my Streamer, DAC and Network Switch. The Streamer and DAC appear to be the most sensitive to power issues. since it... | |
| Power Sensitive Components @61falcon The reason is my system started sounding strange once the current heat wave of above 90 temperatures hit. When temperatures dropped below 90 to mid 80s the system sounded normal again. Also on the hotter days the system sounded better ... | |
| Power Sensitive Components I’ve decided to try the Powerplant 3 for my source components. Will probably order one tomorrow. I don’t think I can solve this with cables. That’s just a bandaid and the summer is not getting any cooler. | |
| Power Sensitive Components @erik_squires No affect on the sound? Have you compared sound with and without the Furman? What model? | |
| Power Sensitive Components If the new cables which are reasonably priced at $259 don’t completely solve the problem I’ll look for a different solution. Not sure a power conditioner is the solution for summer power fluctuations. Only a regenerator can deliver stable voltage. | |
| Power Cables I plan to upgrade my XLR Balanced interconnects to the Ice Age version. I would like to try their speaker cable if they can offer locking banana plugs. | |
| Power Cables @audphile1 I noted in my results that I tried it on the Accuphase amplifier. It was not better than the stock cable. Accuphase strongly recommends that you use the supplied cable. This is the second alternative cable I’ve tried and in both cases... | |
| Power Cables Just finished burning in my IceAge Frankencable power cord with a little over 50 hours. Results On my Aurender N20 it significantly improves the overall sound and presentation of my system. Smooths out the highs making them even more refined ... | |
| Did anyone return a PSAudio Powerplant? Why? I know they are popular and successful. Just wanted to know in which situations they may not be beneficial. Regenerators and conditioners are very system dependent. Hope to get some insight before I try a home demo of each. | |
| Summer Power Issues Room treatment doesn’t compensate for varying voltage during peak AC months. | |
| Power Cables @mbarrett635 Actually I just ordered an Ice Age Frakencable power cable last night to try. Should have it by Monday. It shipped today. | |
| Does it have to sound good for you to like it? For me recorded quality is paramount. I can't listen to poor recordings regardless of the performance especially now that I have a very resolving system. And yes Classical recordings are extremely variable in quality. Even with current methods and... | |
| Power Cables @audphile1 Thanks. From other sources I’ve gotten the same information. The DAC is more important than the streamer concerning power issues. | |
| Power Cables Power cords don’t sound the same as I’ve experienced differences with my Amps power cord. @audphile1 Curious did you find a bigger improvement when you placed the Nordost on the DAC vs the Streamer? Which had the most impact to an upgraded cor... |
