| do i need a new DAC First, let me say I'm a big fan of Chord DACs. @jag, are u planning on only playing computer audio files, since your NAD is USB only? The Chord Qutest is capable of so much more. It has multiple hires inputs;USB Galvanic Isolation, plus (2) 384kHz... | |
| Product to sit between turntable feet and wood rack That advice will really help the OP. | |
| Has anyone tried the Audience Forte F3 power cord? I can't speak to the new Forte F3, but I have a few Audience PC's and they do have a house sound; organic but tend to be rather warm, spacious. But their greatest design element is the incredibly low noise floor. | |
| My 6922 Tubes Are Too Bright! I’m wondering if the problem is indeed your CDP and tube selection. With regard to your Amperex, there are many variants and levels of that brand leading up to the PQ. The higher you go, the more refined the top-end.I have also rolled quite a few ... | |
| Repair Linn turntable vs buying a different one OP, need to know if there are any problems with the table, maybe it needs basic service or tune up. Otherwise I agree with @chayro . | |
| My 6922 Tubes Are Too Bright! I suggest u call Andy at Vintage Tube Services and speak to an expert. It sounds like Mullard may be what you need, he can tell you about the sonics of the 6922/E88CC Mullard vs. other brands. But premium tubes are not cheap. | |

I agree that’s a lot for an upgrade.Is there a problem, or are you looking for a total refurbish plus upgrades?If you like the Linn LP12 sound (I do), it’s worth getting an estimate. Many Linn repair techs... | |
| Product to sit between turntable feet and wood rack Sounds like a good idea.Have you tried listening without the cork?The concept of the steel ball sitting in the decoupling glider is to drain vibration from the TT. The cork may be interfering with that process. If you were using these gliders wit... | |
| How much should a person spend to get a decent power conditioner? A good conditioner will make your system sound more open and effortless, it will add weight and improve dynamics. In general however I haven’t found them to materially change soundstage, which is more a matter of low level noise better addressed v... | |
| How much should a person spend to get a decent power conditioner? wisciman, daisy chaining 2 power conditioners is not an ideal way to lower the noise floor. You'll be running your components thru extra circuitry which will probably limit dynamics.It would be preferable to use one conditioner for your analogue c... | |
| How much should a person spend to get a decent power conditioner? a wall wart is a digital switching power supply,They're used to power laptops and tablets, also small components like some DACs and streamers. Their design produces dirty power to the audio device and allows noise to flow back down the AC line and... | |
| How much should a person spend to get a decent power conditioner? I use two passive conditioners for my components since the power in my area is steady at 120V and there are new transformers installed in our neighborhood. I have a Brickwall with surge protection which does a very good job of filtering noise from... | |
| How much should a person spend to get a decent power conditioner? First you have to decide what your needs are. Do you want surge protection with some filtering to reduce some extraneous noise from your AC mains and components? This is passive conditioning.Or do you want a power regenerator which takes the incom... | |
