| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test Zaikesman- Perhaps you should follow Mr.Stinson's lead and whizz on your amplifier so that all these changes won't sound any any different. This would provide you with more actual music listening time. Of couse, this conclusion may not be rational... | |
| Which power conditioner for large amp and digital? Pardales- two .47uf/600volt Auricaps across the hot and neutral of your wall outlet are more effective than themagic gem stones in AM's cute little plastic box.If you prefer, you could put an Auricap inside each of yourcomponents across the AC inp... | |

| The Great Cryo'd Outlet Test So, after all of the above, what's the best replacement outlet for the money? | |
| Best Digital Amps 1953- I agree with you, for $2K the H2O sounds very interesting. I just think, for someone who running a two channel rig, the TacT's ability to eliminate the preamp,DAC and extra cables are worth the extra $900.Muralman1- first, I said the amp our... | |
| Best Digital Amps 1953- You use a TacT RCS 2.2X, has its' power supply been upgrade? If not you're missing out on a very large performance improvement. Have you tried the TacT2150 amps? I have a friend who also uses Apogee speakerswith a 2.2X. His lightly modified ... | |
| Switching and linear power supplies in hi-fi Nighthawk- nice to hear from someone that understandsthe potential of a SMPS when proper filtering and regulationare applied. FYI- on the input side, these supplies also benefit from better prerectification AC line filters,high speed diodes and fa... | |

| Switching and linear power supplies in hi-fi Andy2 - I think the majority of digital front end equipmentuse SMPS units, but most analog devises are still runningon linears.With good design and quality parts, SMPS units can performvery well. Their lower cost, weight and lower power consumptio... | |
| Best Digital Amps Loudandclear- I've been to CP's home and heard his TacT gear. He stopped using the Zanden tube DAC months ago after some cable/power supply improvements.He does use a Apogee Big Ben processor to reduce jitter from his transport.Once you get noise ... | |
| Best transport under 2 grand for bryston bp25 da Audioengr- "Turbomodded Sony DVP-S7700" Does your mod have a optimum boost pressure management system to prevent turbo lag at low listening levels? Will it run on regular unleaded? | |
| Best Digital Amps Muralman1- You're corect about TacT users. They know that the MII and 2150s, unlike other so-called digital amplifiers, have no analog feedback or analog signal processing or amplification involved at any stage. The system is a high-power DAC devi... | |
| Who has used a Genesis Digital Lens? Peter- unless you've modified the switch mode power supply in your Sony, you haven't fully addressed noise control. AC line filters/conditioners don't do anything toaddress noise being generation inside your CDP, other thankeep it out of your othe... | |
| Is the significance of room acoustics overrated? I have my speaker correctly placed to minimize the effects of the room, and my TacT RCS unit still imroves the sound,which can be quickly determined by using the bypass control. Speaker placement is only one part of dealing with your room. Passive... |
