| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I agree with Calvin and Lak, the urr power cord is amazing. I bought one for my DAC a few months ago. I couldn't believe the difference it made. It was huge. The soundstage opened up and the tonal quality was much more natural not to mention the i... | |
| New Schroeder linear tonearm, any thoughts? I had the good fortune to be able to listen to the LT at a good friend of mine's. My friend has an excellent system to listen to music. The LT had an Atlas cartridge mounted to it. The first piece of music I listened to with this combination was a... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Lak, I haven't tried the HF power cable on my phono-pre or the amps but I have done these type of comparisons with other power cords. The biggest improvement came at the phono-pre and the DAC. The DAC and phono-pre are more sensitive to noise beca... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Yesterday I bought a High Fidelity ultimate reference power cable. I had heard so many good things about them I wondered if they could live up to the hype. I used the cable with my DAC and the sound was astonishing. I thought there would be a sign... | |
| Direct Heated Triode Tube DAC by Allnic Audio Labs Hi, I recently bought a Allnic DAC. I really like it especially with when playing DSD from Jriver. Has anyone tried linking an external word clock with the internal word clock of the Allnic DAC? John | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Ddraudt, Thanks for having me over for a listen yesterday! Your system is amazing. The imaging is unreal. It was hard to believe that you got this kind of sound from an inexpensive DAC and amp. John P. | |
| Top CD transports vs USB converter shootout Elberoth2, Thanks for the excellent review! Is the dCS Scarlatti DACyour favorite DAC? John | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Hi Lew, Steve Dobbins was suprised when I told him that I thought the SAEC and Herbie combination wasn't as good as the rubber mat. I think he was also surprised that I though the SAEC alone sounded about the same as the rubber mat. Steve Kaufman ... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Hi Mike, I not sure what power supply Steve used during the shootout. Best, John | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Hi Lew, "But I must confess, there is so much information in your post that one essential element eludes me; were the MkII and the Mk III BOTH mounted in Steve Dobbins' plinths?" Yes, both were mounted in Steve Dobbins' plinths. However, all three... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III T-bone, The MkIII was modified as well by Steve Dobbins. The plinths for each table used different materials to deal with the motor noise created by each table. Steve Dobbins described to me what he did with each of the three tables but I don't re... | |
| SP10 Mk II vs Mk III Hi Lewm, Recently, I had the good fortune of listening to a Technics SP10 MkII table, a Technics SP10 MkIII table and a Garrard 301table in my system. All three of these tables were modified by Steve Dobbins of Xact Audio. The plinth for each tab... | |
| Benz LP and SUT's... Hi Don, I thought I would add my comments about SUTs. I don't have a Benz LP cartridge but I've compared several SUTs using a Lyra Olympos cartridge. These comparisons were done with an Artemis Phono-Pre PH-1 (the best phono-pre I've heard with MC... | |
| Thoughts on cartridge loading with a SUT. Welcome Dave! Thank you for the great review of SUTs and loading. I've found that it pays off to try different types of loads. I like loading the primary of the SUT to load the cartridge. I have a rule of thumb: I want the load "seen" by the cartr... | |
