| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I received my second GaN1. Hooked it up with my minidsp SHD and have a nice active config with my Camerton/Purifis. I’ll end up tweaking this one also. Not for the potential performance gains, but just like having better conductors, more secure c... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @donnylovely Thx. I always thought better conductors, better connectors and more secure connections make a difference. I really don’t remember how the amp sounded stock. It was good, but sounds really good now. I’ll have the ability to compare whe... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @ricevs I figured the the Illumati would be better than stock. Maybe, maybe not. It is a damn skinny wire. Added a couple of pics to my profile. I may try using some Triple C copper as the interconnect. Kinda cool that a $1500 box can have so mu... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @ricevs I did swap out the stock coax. Added an AECO RCA and used the Illumati hook up wire. Nice cheap mod and believe it is another improvement. | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Regarding use of MiniDSP Flex for digital domain volume control, the specifications state that the SPDIF digital outputs have a sample rate of 96khz. Sounds like this would be a limiting factor going into the GAN 1 which can accept up to 192khz r... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @abd1 Would love to be able to listen to the Cubes. I'm planning on using the Camerton Binom's for my active setup. A GaN1 per side driving the Cam's and Purifi woofers. I'll start with the MiniDSP SHD as the front end and look to see how it ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @pindac After reading through some to the cable description, AR seems like they prefer that the conductors are run in parallel. May have to try another version with this config and leaving their insulation intact. Marty | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @clsidx - Assuming that was directed to me. It is AR SPC. here is a description link | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @pindac Cables done. 30" length, 19awg AR Triple C for +/-, Neotech OCC (16awg) ground. Stripped the AR shielding (teflon tubing), config using Steve’s Helix design.... See my system for pics. Have to say, listening to my go to songs, maybe b... | |
| Would silver cables beat UP-OCC copper? @mitch2 - I'm very happy with Steve's Helix design. I have used silver from Chris in the past, but OCC solid copper (partsconnexion) with teflon and the Helix wrap has become my reference. About to try a triple C (Acoustic Revive) wire to see i... | |
| Has anyone ever tried cables made with OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) Copper? OP - no brainer for me when I moved to all OCC solid core cabling. I make all my cables and you can find OCC bulk cabling and low mass connectors (ETI/KLE, AECO, etc) at reasonable pricing from several places. Partsconnexion and Venhaus being my... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta I have both and they are really good! The GaN1 opens up options to simplify a dedicated streaming configuration. Although, I’m planning on using two of them in an active setup using a miniDSP SHD on the front end. I have one already hooked up and ... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta @mbmi I think the combo is $1700... $300 for the node is a good deal | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta just ordered a 2nd....looking forward to bi-amping and using a miniDSP SHD for an active system... | |
| Peachtree GaN 1 Beta Yeah, I'm not going to add RCA/BNC adapters to the mix. We'll never find a streamer that has a BNC digital coax connector. I remember the old days using BNC, just liked the secure connection. As I mentioned in the previous post, may run the co... |
