| The best separates between $2500-3000. Moving on from the original Rogue Sphinx Intg.. Jim, not familiar with that ARC, but many good user reviews. I'm sure it would have no trouble driving your speakers. But do some research if you plan on upgrading to Maggies.BTW, keep checking US AudioMart for used gear. It's grown into a damn go... | |
| Will an Isolation Transformer Help My Digital? @ptss,since there's no budget to change my power conditioning or convert to balanced power, have you ever used an isolation xfmr on upstream components? @lak,Thanks for setting me straight. So you are benefiting by using a CPT PC into a power stri... | |
| Will an Isolation Transformer Help My Digital? @bugredmachine.It's a Chord QuteHD (same design as your DAC). And I got it for an amazing price, so I'm willing to pair a good Linear PSU with it.Yes, the noise coming from the stock switching wall-wart is loud.But my issue is two-fold; it's not ... | |
| Will an Isolation Transformer Help My Digital? I have been following the CPT thread and find it a most interesting and affordable way to provide balanced power to a system. But wouldn't all the components involved need to use the CPT PC's, in my case the amp, preamp, transport/DAC. Balanced po... | |
| Will an Isolation Transformer Help My Digital? terry, I'm sure your right since it is a switching power supply. I plan an upgrade, but that's not a bad idea as a test. Too bad I don't work with the bench tech guys anymore. | |

I found a thread where you speak to using an isolation transformer for the entire audio system, as you have done in your own house.https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/isolation-transformer-2?highlight=... | |
| Will an Isolation Transformer Help My Digital? Hi Al.See my explanation of the grounding theory. These early units were sold as a set.And you’re correct that the noise was eliminated when CDP was plugged into different and more distant outlets.Given that the noise was considerably less when yo... | |
| Will an Isolation Transformer Help My Digital? @bombaywalla ,Yes, there is a ground-loop due to the design of the Sunfire amp. I recently had the amp refreshed by Sunfire service and was in touch with Bob Carver who confirmed that the safety ground and the signal ground are tied together and d... | |
| The best separates between $2500-3000. Moving on from the original Rogue Sphinx Intg.. Jim, I haven't heard the Parasound A21. Just know some members were pleased with it. The amp that I'm impressed with and would love to hear is the Odyssey Stratos. A lot of members are talking about it and it's Class A/AB, stable to 2 ohms. Since ... | |
| I just went to put in a $4.00 add and now I have to give my whole financial history..... I find no problem with a 2% selling fee on Audiogon. It's Ebay's fees that I find outrageous.And btw, US Audiomart is becoming more widely known. I've had good results. | |
| The best separates between $2500-3000. Moving on from the original Rogue Sphinx Intg.. @sunnyjim, Have you considered the Parasound A21 power amp?250wpc/8 ohms and 400w/4 ohms. There's a lot of love for them and I've seen them come up for sale used. | |
| Interconnects between Rogue Audio Perseus Preamp. and Odyssey Khartago Amplifier Purist Audio sounds terrific with Rogue. If you have the budget for it. | |
| Better tubes than factory installed tubes on the Rogue Audio Perseus Magnum Preamplifier You have to decide what type of sonics you are looking for as a whole from your system. At this point, your Perseus needs to burn-in for many more hours (I’m just guessing 200 hours). Right now, you’re not hearing the true sonic signature of the p... | |
| Interconnects between Rogue Audio Perseus Preamp. and Odyssey Khartago Amplifier topten,What is your budget?Re; the Signal Cables, it sounds like you are describing the Analog Two IC's. Did you try their Silver Resolution?I'm impressed with the new Grover Huffman Empress IC. It's a ribbon cable, $400/1m, and a money-back... |
