IACS is an acronym for International Annealed Copper Standard, which was established by the 1913 International Electrochemical Commission. (More Info... | |
| Looking for recommendations I tend to like the sound of multiple, individually insulated solid core wires for SCs. Harmonic Technology cables can sound great (IMO) and can be purchased used at a reasonable cost for what they are - multiple strands of small gauge solid core ... | |
| why expensive streamers I am curious at what point a typical digital signal is subject to being processed, changed, or influenced by noise as it travels from a streaming service via modem/router through to the DAC? How about in the case of the following digital streaming... | |
| New DAC issues @rikkipuu I recently replaced the UltraRendu with a SignatureRendu SE and Sonore OpticalModule to feed the Antipodes S20 and then feed S/PDIF to the GG3. The gains in coherence and fluidity are almost matched by the reduction in "Noise". Its... | |
| seeking advice on iso pucks /stands or similair that won't stain speakers? Herbie's makes products for that exact purpose - to go between the bottoms of your speakers and the tops of the stands that support them. They recommend their Fat Dots for the purpose, but their Thin Fat Dots work too if you are not looking for d... | |
| Racks, equipment and footers Holy crap, you are right about the EVP pricing. I just priced out the 16 large HD EVPs needed to support my main speakers and two subs - $3,824! | |
| Racks, equipment and footers @tvad Regarding the ringing, I suspect it may have related to using Nobsound springs under gear with tubes in it, as you mention. The Nobsound springs do not appear to be as well damped as other spring solutions such as Townshend's. I damped m... | |
| Racks, equipment and footers Ha, I see the stuff in parentheses in my post is messed up - hurrying to help my wife walk the dogs. I have not kept up on the EVP price increase since I haven’t been in the market for footers lately. I believe these were originally (and maybe st... | |
| Racks, equipment and footers I don’t disagree with the posted article but keep in mind Norm Varney has a company that sells decoupling type footers (AV RoomService Ltd.). Their footers are made from Owens Corning type acoustical boards (703/705 Acousticmac or sandwiched betwe... | |
| EVS Music Purifiers - Amazed by how much improvement they make! Anyone else try them? If any want to dive into the why and how of this topic a bit deeper, run through this thread and this thread and this review by 6moons. | |

| why expensive streamers I can use either s/pdif, AES/EBU, or USB into the DAC. I could run USB directly from the streamer into the DAC, or I can run the USB from the streamer into the DDC where the signal is reclocked and then from there to the DAC by either s/pdif or A... | |
| Pads or Spikes? I agree with the decouple/pads approach suggested by others here and I have had good luck with damped springs, such as sold by Townshend. If you want to try it without spending a lot you could consider an elastomer solution (basically another typ... |
