| Power Conditioner/Surge Protector Options @boostedis If you buy a product that provides surge protection then that's exactly what it's going to do but you shouldn't expect sonic improvements, you may even get a small degradation due to current limitation. It's not a leap of faith or hocus... | |
| TV and upgraded cables @moneoone You will get richer and more natural colours. The biggest improvement was using a NEO d+ power cable for my TV. It’s important you use cables designed for video. I use Furutech CAT 8 Lan and Furutech 8k HDMI. These also improve the pict... | |
| Power Conditioner/Surge Protector Options @boostedis Also, where my rig is positioned there is only one outlet so plugging the Amp in directly is possible, but not practical, so having multiple plugin positions is also my challenge which would be solved by a Conditioner/Surge protector... | |
| TV and upgraded cables You will get huge upgrades by upgrading your HDMI, LAN and power cables. Quality HDMI and LAN (CAT 8) have good shielding, reduces RFI/EMI, better picture better sound. These NEO D+ cables are fantastic, don't be fooled by their cheap price: ... | |
| Power Conditioner/Surge Protector Options Surge protection limits current and the last thing you want are sacrificial components to protect against surges. Surge protection will also limit sound quality. You can't beat a large, big and heavy torroidial transformer. This acts like a rese... | |
| Your experience with these power cables? I have 3 BMI Oceanic Statement cables which are absolutely superb for DACs, Pre-Amps and whatever front end you're using. No good at all for power amps. I've had these cables for around 12 years and nothing else so far has come close. I don't be... | |
| Percentage of cable cost The biggest mistake you can make is buying no-name or low brand recognition cables. You'll find it very difficult to resell them. Best to buy used or ex-demo and trade them up every few years. They don't lose much money after the first purchase. ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @ja_kub_sz @teknorob23 Hi Guys, Well I’m glad that has finally been put to rest and the 005 can be acknowledged for the fantastic value it is. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Holo May has a few tricks up it’s sleeve but I just don’t like two box u... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @ja_kub_sz I haven't heard the Tambaqui but even if it did sound better than the 005 it would be in a micro detail or two, which you wouldn't even be able to pinpoint unless you were doing side by side comparisons, or personal taste. I've heard ... | |
| Go Cat8! Last week I bought 2 x Furutech CAT 8 cables and 2 x Furutech New Model HDMI cables specifically for my OPPO Blu Ray, Smart TV and Android TV Box. Besides an upgrade in picture and sound quality I got a large sound improvement in my main system. ... | |
| Audioquest vs Mogami XLR Audio connector cables @revelationsound Hi, What I've found is the pre-amp to power amp needs a "fat", big conductor, cable for best results. Something like a Cardas maybe? A more detailed cable going into the pre-amp compliments the setup. I always buy good quality ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @kclone The online manual recommends you set DPLL to BW01 for PCM and BWO6 for DSD. I have found the SLOW filter is best. Turn off DOP and DE-Emphasis unless you really need them. You have an integrated amp so use the pre-amp and set the 005 vol... | |
| Cable for Transport to Dac 110 Ohm XLR (AES/EBU) but get something good $500+ and don't forget a decent power cord. | |
| Musical Fidelity Trivista 21 DAC for musical fidelity A5 cd player @skipper320 Hi,The Nu-Vista and Tri-Vista MF products are very highly regarded and another reflection of Anthony Michaelson’s innovation. Nu-Vista and Tri-Vista are the evolution between valves and transistors and regarded for their smooth sound ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @kclone Hi, To put this matter to rest please plug your whole system except for your PC into a regular power strip, including your amp, and then switch your breaker on. If the breaker doesn't trip then the problem is with the PC. And as I said bef... |
