| Amplifier is now off the Power Conditioner Thanks Charles and Thaluza for the input. BPT at the top of my list, with the noted restrictions.Still haven't cocncluded if power treatment should be my next significant upgrade, but I will keep it in my notes.Regards | |
| Amplifier is now off the Power Conditioner Thanks Charles.I guess your KT88 PP 100-Watter is close enough to my amp. I was considering one of the smaller BPT units, but I was more inclined to use it on the digital front-end and maybe the preamp. Maybe I should go larger and add the amp int... | |
| Amplifier is now off the Power Conditioner How do you guys feel or what has been your experience with a balanced transformer in front of your amp? Do amps generally work better connected to balanced power than connected to the wall?I want to tackle power treatment for my system, but I'm un... | |
| Does AC Power Cord to Linear Power Supply matter? I don't know, but I guess it matters just as it does with other power cords. Is it worth the sound improvement? I guess only you can answer that.FWIW, my highly optimized PC with linear PS has a generic power cable. I also think it depends how the... | |
| Lossless Files Vs CD's I find this argument rather useless, but here's my post with the goal of providing my perspective to those on the fence and trying to figure this out, rather than trying to convince anybody with a preconceived notion that this cannot be so.I've be... | |
| mc302 or mc352 Xdrixn,Have you tried a tube amp? I know this is not what you asked, but I have oftentimes gotten good input here that came from the left field.Paul Bolin had a review on these speakers for Stereophile back in 2004. He loved them matched with his ... | |
| Server 2012R2 Local Group Policy - Equalizer? Bill, This is probably not the right forum to ask. Very few people here are running WS2012. I do, but have no idea what you are talking about. I would try at the JPlay/Computer Audio forum (a lot of PC savvy people there and many using server 2012... | |
| Help diagnose the kind of power treatment needed Thanks all for the input.Needless to say I was hoping Al would chime in. Very thoughtful and knowledgeable input, as usual from you.So it seems unlikely I will get much value out of the analysis/measurement I have in mind. Will check out the cost ... | |
| Care to recommend a preamp? I can't offer much as my pre is a Lamm LL2, wonderful but without phono section. At the time I was shopping for a preamp, though, I was considering McIntosh C220, and I thought the Lamm outperformed it by a wide margin soundwise even with a Mc tub... | |
| Help diagnose the kind of power treatment needed Terry,Yes, I agree the assumption is safe. But I understand the reason some people prefer regeneration, others prefer filtration, others balanced transformers, etc is because the way in which the AC is filthy at different locations varies. I'm try... | |
| SATA wires vs filter I haven't tried SATA II vs III. Just went with Paul's recommendation as it didn't seem to have any downside.I do have his slim red SATA cable on my SSD. Yes, it made a difference, but it wasn't huge in my setup. This cable feeds a SSD that has the... | |
| Upgrade BC DAC 3.0 or go BC REF link instead? Yes, it is a bunch to go over indeed. And computers can be tweaked forever, and that can be fun for some and a nightmare for others. I'm more of the latter group.My suggestion to keep it as simple as possible is to use any 64-bit computer you can ... | |
| Upgrade BC DAC 3.0 or go BC REF link instead? Jim,In my experience, upgrading the computer has made a large difference. And the software made more of a difference than going from old laptop to new server with many audiophile bell and whistles (fanless, SSD, linear power supply, upgraded USB c... | |
| Upgrade BC DAC 3.0 or go BC REF link instead? Blindjim,Welcome back. I remember your posts well.Not sure what you meant by "I'm a front to back guy". My interpretation was "source is most important", and you mentioned all your music will come from a HDD. I'd like to offer a different alternat... | |
| What preamp should i buy At some point I also considered a MC2300. It's a great preamp, but you need to ask yourself what exactly you are looking for? At any given pricepoint, manufacturers need to make tradeoffs as to how to spend their budget. The MC2300, and generally ... |
