| Wall Receptacle Oyaide R0, Furutech GTX-G and SR Black UEF I just replaced my Maestro outlet with an Oyaide R0.I’m really quite amazed at how a "small" change like this can have such a meaningful impact on a system.The Oyaide moves you several rows closer to the music.It’s still breaking in, but I can tel... | |
| Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system Too bad US audiophiles don't really know about Entreq. The Powerus Challenger 3V is a very fine piece of gear. One of the best investments I've made in this hobby, and has completely redefined what I thought was possible from a "power conditioner"... | |
| Entreq Silver Tellus grounding/earthing system I agree with the OP.I have the Olympus minimus and now the Powerus Challenger. The upgrade from my previous reference power conditioner (which I thought was really good) is staggering. | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Anyone using the MC 0.5 with Nordost QX4?I wonder if it would improve upon the QX4.I wouldn't listen to my system without the QX4. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I had a Red and Black fuse blow back to back in my DAC upon installation and power up. Luckily the dealer took them back. Otherwise I'd be out of $200 without even an audition. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Tsushima, contact berniceskaudio at gmail.com to order the Telos Quantum X2.Oregonpapa, I didn't run the Black fuse for 70 hours. I just didn't like the tonality. I may put it back in, but I like the Telos at the moment.Gwalt's Beeswax impressions... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... T_ramey, I ordered it directly from Telos in Taiwan.So far it's promising - refined with an ease for long listening sessions. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Black fuse installed in the DAC wasn't my cup of tea.Beeswax fuse has an organic rightness and is incredibly dynamic/expansive, but just too aggressive with glare in the DAC.Just received the Telos Quantum X2. So far it's promising - delicately re... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Mapman, thanks for the tip. The designer of the DAC told me to try a slow blow fuse instead of fast. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Both Red and Black fuses in my DAC blew last night.Will have to try going up a value. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I prefer the Red over Black in my DAC for the same reasons oregonpapa mentioned. The Red is just more involving and fun to listen to. | |
| Going to rip 2000 cds. Which software? I would like to hear rips with the Unitiserve.I use XLD and could never get my rips to sound anywhere near as good as CD playback.To compound the problem, I found rips via dbpoweramp on a different Macbook sounded totally different. | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Audiolabyrinth, you'll get a better deal on the Beeswax fuse by going with Jerry at Audio Magic.Interestingly, the sound in my system started getting dull with the Beeswax after it settled in. I flipped the direction of the fuse and it's back to s... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Fliz, stock fuse vs Beeswax. I have had the Red fuse before and I liked it. But the Beeswax is is just a huge upgrade with the Exemplar DAC. It dropped the noise floor significantly, and has a lot of the benefits similar to the ESS rack.As you kno... | |
| Best integrated up to $6000 Yes, the Exemplar gear is for real.I have John's eXception DAC.It's very good and the most musical and engaging DAC I've owned. He's made me a believer in his tube output stage. |
