| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses @debjit_g Hi, I find it surprising that you haven't had a good experience with the Purple fuses. I don't know what to suggest except to contact Ted for some advice. I'm sure he'll get it sorted for you, because it seems to be a system not a fuse ... | |
| My First DIY Power Cable @auxinput +1 With all the resources at Furutech's disposable they have good reasons for using Rhodium but usually offer an identical product in gold. Personally I've found Beryllium Copper (Oyaide) to be the sweet spot between the two. However so... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm Regarding USB I’m currently using a Crystal Clear Audio Magnum Opus ll USB Which I bought off Audiogon. It’s a very good cable and it’s kept up with all the improvements I’ve made to my system. However top of the heap seems to be Shunyata ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @audioman58 Hi, How you doing? It would be great if you did a shoot out with the 005. We should have the final results in soon against the Mola Mola. I'm sure you'd appreciate the 005. BTW see you're into the Final Touch cables. I'd be very int... | |
| Audioquest Design Question I've always been confused by AQ due to their huge range of cables. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with them but they create massive confusion with choice. I do have one AQ Toslink cable which has served me very well but I'll upgrade soon. ... | |
| Is my power chord going bad? @blue_collar_audio_guy It took me a while to understand what you were going on about. Why would you want to touch your power cable with your interconnect cable? Which part of the IC are you using to touch the PC? | |
| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses Ordered six Purple fuses online the day before yesterday. Everywhere seems to be sold out of Purple except online, due to the offer I expect. Went up to the next highest amperage on each fuse to be on the safe side. One dealer recommended the Po... | |
| Have audio cables really improved in last 20 years? @paulcreed Paul this is a very wide sweeping question which I can’t fully answer but one way of looking at it is to examine which cable manufacturers still sell the same cables from 10-20 years ago. If they are still being sold then they are in de... | |
| Balanced a good decision. Why? Unless you have a highly revealing system and are spending thousands on cables it won't matter a hoot. I would suggest get the best quality used cable you can afford, Cardas maybe? | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? The inbreeding has created so much retardation that they don't even understand that to run a commercial website you need sponsors and patrons. Honestly who will advertise there? Fluke multi-meters? I just spent two grand on fuses, yes fuses but ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @melm as you have said so many times my friend, no one has EVER returned a 005 or even criticized it by finding anything lacking. I really don't know why a lot of people find it so difficult to comprehend that here exists a bargain that seems to ... | |
| The sound quality from DACs - is it all the same? @hilde45 +1, Inbreeding severely damages your auditory capabilities. Just ask anyone on ASR. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC It was a bit late last night when I made the Oversampling / Up-sampling comments. Just so everyone is on the same page an Oversampling DAC Over-samples and then Down samples internally. So 44.1 kHz could be Over-sampled to 88.2 kHz internally and... | |
| Digital cables need to be identical @antigrunge2 Great Result! As more and more people are now using clocks we are discovering how very sensitive they are. I've found keeping the clock cable at 1m or less is best, unlike other digital cables which I've found 1.5m to be the sweet s... | |
| Time clock sync devices @antigrunge2 Totally agree a quality DC power supply is essential for a clock. I use Plixir with their upgraded DC cable. I have found the AC power cable for the clock power supply is critical, no one would believe so because the clock is using t... |
