| Just how many outlets do you need for your stereo? Good point @spatialking. I use three separate 20A circuits (one for each monoblock and one for front end gear) and do maintain some level of filtering on the digital side, using an Isoclean unit. However, the quote below from the VH Audio site in... | |
| Just how many outlets do you need for your stereo? You need as many outlets as are required to plug in all your gear.Another question to consider is, how many amps are required to effectively power your gear?Finally, does it really matter whether you plug digital gear into a different outlet from ... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO I had the Aqua La Scala (not Optologic) here for a couple of weeks and IMO once you reach a certain performance level, the equipment is mostly good, but there are sonic differences and trade-offs. There is no universally "best" DAC because like a... | |
| Mojo Audio Mystique EVO Pretty much the same deal here as with @thaluza except I am not sure where I am in the queue. My Mystique v3 is also going in on trade but continues to impress until the EVO gets here. | |
| If you stream music from the internet, I can't recommend this more highly Treat the power.Agree. Ditch the wall warts and use LPS on anything sharing the circuit with your audio system. | |
| Embarrassed....Audio furniture help If you have a cabinet built for you, have your designer/builder consider stability/structure, air flow/heat dissipation, cable routing, and the ability to operate your remote controls. You should also consider whether you are likely to upgrade to... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... Thanks for the clear answer Rich, and for weighing in on this forum. I am actually using 15M of fibre optic for my main link between my router and my system. There is one converter at the system, which I power with a large (overkill) LPS and the... | |
| Embarrassed....Audio furniture help The Amish do a great job with woodworking and offer a variety of solid wood designs such as solid cherry, quartersawn white oak, and more, plus your choice of stains and finishes. The furniture is usually very solid and well-built to support audi... | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... So the ENO is basically an RF reduction device that uses chokes to filter the input. In the post by @arafiq below, he reports that the ENO designer told him a fiber optic interface does basically "a similar job" of noise reduction as the ENO. Th... | |
| Recommendations for a Ripper/Streamer/Storage device, or a combo of two devices? There are several that do what you want, but many forego the internal CD ripper these days and require that you instead upload the digital files from an external storage device. My Antipodes DX G3 does everything you discuss, including the intern... | |
| Better XLR/RCA adapters @inna mitch2, there are also Cardas adapters for $150 pair. Is there real difference? I couldn't really say that it would be worth it particularly when you consider most equipment manufacturers, even those selling high dollar gear, use basic Neu... | |
| Better XLR/RCA adapters The Cardas adaptors are on sale now from Partsconnexion and at $90, while more expensive than the (similar) $4 model from Parts Express, the Cardas version would probably pass the "audiophile approved" test without spending $500, which just seem... | |
| LAMM M1.2 - Feedback - Advice - Please - anyone heard these? I can only speak to the Lamm gear I have owned and played in my system for extended periods. The two amps were used and the LL2 Deluxe preamp was purchased new.Both the M1.1s and M1.2 Ref displayed nice body and dimensionality compared to most SS ... | |
| Roon ready Music Streamer with I2S digital output? Contact the Antipodes folks and maybe take a look at this model. | |
| Router Ethernet Cable to Streamer Hi ozzy, I am curious because I did not understand your post - what is the purpose of the transceiver? I use a short Ethernet cable from my router into a TP Link converter, then 15M of fiber into a second TP Link converter that is positioned near... |
