| Least Controversial, Reasonably Priced AC Upgrades "4)Install a Xentek isolation transformer (5 KVA) some where before your AC power gets to your wall outlets."Lak- Looks like you have them in your basement. Do these transformers generate a lot of heat and/or noise? | |
| Longer optical or DVI cable? Go with the longer cable from the DVD to the processor.Here's a link for long Toslinks at great prices:http://www.lifatec.com/Lifusa_patchcords.htm | |
| Need Help with Hum Float/lift the ground connection on the Krell KPS preamp/CD with a cheater plug and see if the hum goes away.If does than check the wiring as Kal suggests, if it doesn't, check and make sure the hot & neutral on the ACline feeding the Krell KP... | |
| Theta Gen Va Mods I also have a Genesis Digital Lens that I use between my transports and TacT RCS unit. I recently picked up a ThetaJade transport which has the "jitter jail" circuit. The Jade sounds just has good if not better running directlyinto the RCS. The DL... | |
| Alternatives to Stoplight Pen RIP "Auric Illuminator pen any good?"- The pen in the latest version of Auric is very, as is their new gel. | |
| Digital Amps - Your opinions and why so few? As a TacT owner you'll be very pleased with the TacT amps if you feed them directly with a low jitter digital source. Doing this, you can also eliminate the need for your upsampler(the amps upsample to 384K) and preamp. The x-over function takes s... | |
| Toslink Survey / Please Participate Toslinks are very cost effective and have gotten better. There are different grades of Toslink transmit/receive modules and fiber with different data rate. Most manufacturers don't use the best parts. Everything you'd want to know about Toslinks a... | |
| Patricia Barber - New Live CD Thedautch- Mahalo for the excellent review. Picked up a copy and gave it a listen. The recording level is a bit hoton some cuts, but overall it's a very good recording andperformance. Aloha, DanPS- there's still a lot of live left in redbook with ... | |
| Review: Virtual Dynamics Master Series AES/EBU Interconnect Gunbei- I also use Au24 speaker cables. Don't know if you're using the Au24 SPDIF or AES/EBU, but they both take a couple of days to settle.The TacT gear has multiple digital inputs, and adjustable levels for each input, so it's easy to A/B cables... | |
| GNSC Wadia Statement Mods/Heard Them? Harry- maybe with Steve's statement mod, you'll no longer need to run your 270SE's output through a Apogee Big Ben (FYI-a BB review is now on stereotimes.com). ;-) Dan | |
| Some digital comparisons: cables,transports&jitter Dmitrydr- I don't think the differences in cables, Richards heard were cause by jitter. It may have influencedthe sound he heard with the transports and jitter boxes.Just my opinion, but I think differences in cables due to materials, construction... | |
| Some digital comparisons: cables,transports&jitter Richards- "Maybe it's all system dependent ;-))>" Yes, it is, and digital cables do make a difference,as do transports, but if your Tact RCS is running on the stock SMPS and stock input transformers it will be more sensitive to jitter.IMO- Once... | |
| Bryston article on transformers - Part 2 Sean- Interesting post. Have you replaced any toroidal transformers in your equipment with EIs? If so, what werethe result and what brand of EI do you recommend? | |
| Broke and still not happy "I think the TACT is a pink noise generater."Gellis1- the TacT is not a pink noise generator. It uses pulses at three different frequncies to measure in room frequency response and time delays between the speakers.It uses this measurement to calcu... | |
| Broke and still not happy Get rid of the tube preamp and DAC. Use the the fundsto get a TacT RCS 2.2X. Run the transport directly into the RCS. Put the sub in a corner of your room and let the TacT system measure and balance out the system. If you play in a band, you know ... |
