| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Interesting thread. Since these guys are local to me I decided to reach out and learn more. I have been building my own cables for years and followed these simple guidelines....good conductors, low mass or sometimes no connectors and solid connect... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found Ok Please explain to me if an Ohno Continuous Cast process makes silver conductor even better. I have been using OCC copper for years with my DIY cables and do think it does out perform OFC. The folks at Veritas are local to me, so very intereste... | |
| LAIV Harmony No quality issues for me with Liav. Hoping this is not FUD. Hoping the competitive entities stand down. Weng, please let us know if your upcoming streamer provides an I2S connection straight to the DAC. I really don’t want to deal with DDCs. Les... | |
| LAIV Harmony I've had the Harmony for about a month and it's not going back. I know nothing about USB interfaces and currently using an OCC based cable and it sounds fantastic. I may look at some DDCs with I2S, but anticipate that Weng will release their str... | |
| Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite? What a dud.... I'm the Bay Area and would have loved to compare the following; Rose 180 Rose150B w/180 Rose 520 Custom Purifi (built several) Peachtree Gan1 Nad M33 New Eversolo..... | |
| Revisiting Chinese Knockoff Cables @reimarc +1. Share some pics of the Argon based cables. I'm intrigued... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Here are my mods. I think Ric charges ~$500.00 Fururtech IEC, no fuse. $10 Chris VenHaus quad star 12awg copper direct to PS board. $20 OCC5N Silver with air dialectic tubing (WillyWonka) 75ohm Digital coax from circuit board to new AECO RCA. ... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Yes. I bought one of the first ones in last year. Did my mods, check my pics. Ordered a second to look at an active vertical speaker config with a Minidsp SHD. No difference in sound. These amps are dead silent, very impressive. I have bui... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Can you imagine that Andrew @peachtree can’t dial in a digital amp. All my same mods don’t make the amp sound any better. If you think changing anything on the PS side enhances the audio, you have another thing coming. Please don’t let Ric tell y... | |
| What is your experience with the NAD M33? I remember the M33 on my wish list back in 2020... After having the M10, C658, M33, Evo150, Lyngdorf 3400, I’ll stack rank per @jjss49 3400>M33 > Evo150> M10. Can’t really throw in the 658 (not an all in one). Fast forward to 2023.... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @yyzsantabarbara I should have the Maria next week. I'm very lucky to be so close to John at Lone Crow. BTW, he is a great guy. After to talking with Mark for almost an hour, these 200/800s are very interesting devices. I'll PM you with more... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @ricevs I sure hope you didn't charge yyz for your mods. Especially after his advertising... The GaN1 is definitely a disruptor within the current amplifier landscape. I have had mine for over six months and it betters any previous Class D that... | |
| FAVORITE POWER CABLE under $100 (1M) I really like the SonarQuest connectors. They have several versions, but my favorite is their basic copper. If you want to make it look better swap out the plastic shell with one of the fancy looking Viborg/Krell/Acrolink aluminum shells. A goo... | |
| Best Class D GaNFET Amp Comparison. Who to invite? @jeffseight Thanks for taking the lead on this. I'm in full support and would love to assist in the Bay Area. I'm thinking I could help secure a good spot in the North Bay...:) @ricevs Please stop with all your irrelevant conditions. At som... | |
| Rose Hifi Network Streamer RS150 @farne230 I think you will really like the 150. What amp/speakers are you using? I have had mine for about a year and it's the best front end streamer/DAC that I've had to date. Been through Evo 150, M33, Teac NT-505, NAD C658...it goes on It... |
