| Ethernet cables @macg19 I tried the Everstar filter, waste of money, sent it back, but I’m going to try the iFI filter as I only have the Cox Panoramic device and I’m sure it’s noisy. I’ll send it back if no improvement. Exactly. Zero risk. I recall Alex at... | |
| Ethernet cables hey crock fan, Maybe you should read this- unlike ASR it is a real review from a real electrical engineer PS Audio Lan Rover | |
| Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio? "I once went to an apple pie contest. Judging was performed by a panel of experts, some with 30 years experience in non-related fields. They took samples of each of the pies, put them in a blender, and then tested each sample for colour, lubricity... | |
| Ethernet cables @mwh777 I own the Supra, which has been built by Audio Sensibility with the Telegartner connectors. It is sitting on the floor currently ever since I bought the sotm dcbl cat 7 cable. The sotm improved the sonic quality, but it is so very slight f... | |
| Zavfino prima mk2 speaker cables But what I will say, without exaggeration, is those few tracks were some of the most beautiful that have come from my system to date; I was spellbound and quite emotional. That's what it is all about. 😁 | |
| Ethernet cables As far as the cables, since you specified "casual listening" for streaming, other than a lower cost filter, as some have suggested, I wouldn’t spend any money at all for different ethernet cables. I think you would get more benefit from ensuring t... | |
| why expensive streamers Well, there it is. Again. Everyone should buy the Topping because it measures perfectly, and therefore nothing else will sound better. We are all such fools. I feel so ripped off. Guess I’ll sell all my expensive streamer and DAC gear and buy some... | |
| DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER @lanx0003 but I really wish someone could explain exactly which elements, components or interactions in the gears contribute to better synergy. Impedance matching is just a necessary condition but not a sufficient condition. I believe the an... | |
| Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio? not classi- crock - fan You really think people want to read your useless posts? Please do us all a favour and go away for good. | |
| Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio? @wig well that is what I was wondering- it didn’t sound any better, noticeably, right after hooking it up, but it may have been 2 days later, and I was quite taken back by how good the system sounded. A few days later and I get around to A/B’ing ... | |
| Power filtering – Furutech or Puritan Audio? Just to follow up regarding a groundmaster connected to the PSM156, I must have had a really good night sound-wise at that moment in time. Was that the purity of the electricity or my ears, I don't know. Just now going back and forth plugging and ... | |
| Audience SX2/Front Row Cables...has anyone tried or heard much of this new reference line? It goes to show that one cannot just look at specs and determine whether a particular cable will sound best. Front Row uses "just" OCC copper and a PTFE dielectric: (cross linked). No silver, no graphene, no network box or other special sauce unli... | |
| Zavfino prima mk2 speaker cables @painter24 you definitely have the speakers to communicate the differences in cables. Let us know how you get on with them 😉 | |
| why expensive streamers In summary, the science, my experience, and actual measurements tell me the same thing. A competent streamer should not be a source of audible noise; I am convinced that any differences we hear are either due to differences in signal processing ... | |
| Back to the DAC @navyachts not odd at all, many like the more "coloured" sound. It does take some getting used to, and myself I have enjoyed the purity of the sound without a pre over the recent years, but have recently purchased a primaluna evo 400 pre to toy ar... |
