| Ehernet cable question in streaming systems The point @sailboat is making that data is only being supplied to the processing component.Good cable runs are helpful, an example would be Shielded Cable.And that's why Supra CAT8 is being recommended. Separate shielding on each conductor.Yes, it... | |
| best power conditioners under 4k Whether you need a conditioner may depend onwhere you live and the effect the grid has on your line voltage. It can be unstable and/or have noise. I live in a city and the power to my house is dirty. I’ve ruled out noise from appliances and device... | |
| Ehernet cable question in streaming systems I just upgraded to a Supra CAT8 based on a recommendation on a different thread. Significant improvement in sound over the CAT6. | |
| Where’s My Weakest Link? Easy_payments, I hate when that happens. I usually just bite my tongue and try not to feed the bear. | |
| How does the sound of the PCC88 and PCC189 compare to the 6922/6DJ8 and its iterations? Upscale sells 7DJ8, why not ask them?https://upscaleaudio.com/collections/preamp-tubes/products/matsushita-national-pcc88-7dj8 | |
| Where’s My Weakest Link? Anybody who recommends changing the wiring in the speakers before upgrading a low cost preamp that is generations old is giving advice that is not logical. Many advances in technology since Carver's preamp.I'll agree that adding a dedicated line s... | |
| High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 Effect You should be hearing a wider, deeper soundstage if your speakers are set up correctly. And the image should become more focused as break-in progresses. | |
| Where’s My Weakest Link? @almarg has presented some very relevant facts. The OP has aging components that should be addressed first. Plus, I doubt that his amp and preamp are revealing enough to warrant adding tweaks such as aftermarket outlets and power. Building the fou... | |
| Node 2i performance suggestions pls @lalitk , I wanted to thank you for the Supra recommendation. Installed it today and heard an immediate improvement in low-end impact and detail. Music has more weight. Jazz basslines are very palpable with orchestra double bass more detailed.Many... | |
| Looking For Candidates For That Mythical 6922 Tube Well then, Amperex and Mullard are out; they reveal lots of textures. IME, the 7308 Siemens West Germany would be worth a try. And with Telefunken, there is a difference between the smooth plates and the ribbed plates. | |
| Looking For Candidates For That Mythical 6922 Tube Regarding Amperex, I agree with @three_easy_payments that the premium tubes are way better than Bugle Boys. They were manufactured in both USA and Holland and are called 6922 Amperex PQ. Liquid midrange and an extended yet smooth top-end, it’s a l... | |
| Looking For Candidates For That Mythical 6922 Tube Siemens 7308/E188CC; the CCA if you can afford them. The 7308 are premium 6922 tubes. Telefunken are very linear tubes, the midrange will not have any emphasis or warmth. | |
| Node 2i performance suggestions pls I have not tried one but a Sbooster power supply might be a good upgrade@jtsnead , that would be nice, but you'll need to remove and mod the IEC on the Node. | |
| Node 2i performance suggestions pls Thanks for posting. That's$193US. Any takers? | |
| Node 2i performance suggestions pls Has anybody tried any tweaks like footers or isolation devices? I've used various footers and platforms with no significant results. |
