Clock synchronization issue?
Hi Steve,I really appreciate your time. I know you're busy running a business. The Zanden uses a computer cable which looks like the ones used in networking at the office...like a phone jack with more wires...8 i think.

Hi Steve N,thank you...I was using Cardas Neutral Ref...was surprised to find i did not like the trial Transp Ref which i use in the rest of my system...and this one-off Valhalla 2nd hand was available and it worked much better...In any event, the...

Clock synchronization issue?
Steve N. thank you! Good to know...I have a 2nd hand Valhalla digital BNC cable...does this work for you? Meanwhile, i may contact you about Synchro-Mesh (presume this is one of your products). Any chance for a reasonable sum, you could have it cu...

Oppo 93 vs 95 as HDMI transport
The only difference which might be important is the different amps. The 95 has toroidal transformer, vs 93 switching amp. In my experience, the oppos are quite sensitive on power supply improvements. i have tried the modd'd ones. For some reason t...

How long untill I can really Flog them Hard
Ah okay, i was just chiming in on your comment: "...I like to get them to that level where the speakers sound full, bass is kind of empty until they get around 200-250 RMS behind them. about 75% bass driver excursion..."On mid/treble, if you need ...
