| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @audphile1 I am certainly good with respectful disagreement. We need more of that around here. I understand your examples and hear your skepticism but I have been a customer of Steve's now for over 10 years and while I agree with your assessme... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System @sns - nice post and my recent efforts lead me to agree wholeheartedly. I have a bunch of stuff here, like the eno system, Gigafoilv4, fiber and converters, switches, LPSs, and more. Starting over and moving things around in configurations that ... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @audphile1 looks like you’ve taken on a function of being a proxy for SMc Audio to deliver a message of vested interest. @kchamber If you do not understand that there may be a possible motivation of profit behind SMc telling people that... | |
| Why don't higher end amplifiers come with a separate power chassis? Steve McCormack at SMc Audio is offering DNA Power Block External Power Supplies for their upgraded (and I suspect new) amplifiers. | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System I still own my PRO DAC also and have been comparing. It took a while for the sound of the X to stabilize and maybe for my ears to become accustomed to it. I still like the PRO but they are sort of two different things. I have owned the v3, B4B... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System @hchilcoat - My streamer is exactly the same Mojo DejaVu that you have described. None of this stuff has resulted in a monumental improvement or change for me, so far. I do have preferences but none of it has been a deal-breaker one way or the o... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System @lalitk It will be interesting to hear your feedback once you remove everything in the path and go direct from your modem or router to your Innuos. I know this is A/B is bit of pain but this is the only way to re-evaluate what each of the devic... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System I am still using fiber/converters into a Bonn switch then eno into my server. I have tried both fiber and Ethernet between by router and the Bonn switch and really cannot discern a difference as I don't have a noise issue. However, the hardening... | |
| Any racks that use coasters/ wheels ? Sound Anchor racks and stands are outstanding and all have threaded openings on the bottom that could accommodate coasters such as these or these. | |
| Qobuz dropping rights to my favorites. A pox on their house. I too have had this happen, with choices I played as recently a day or two earlier and then pulled back up from my history to find they are no longer available. I pay for both Tidal and Qobuz but if the available selections start to dwindle, I wi... | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps @dmader48 "By the way, I decided to let go of the TLC. Pat had clients who were eager for it and so I sold it to SMcAudio for $450; a fair deal. Now some other lucky person has an upgraded TLC which I'm sure makes them very pleased!!" When d... | |
| Need recommendation for hi-rez xlr plugs for re-termination project 3x the conductivity of Beryllium copper and phosphor bronze equals, you guessed it, ETP copper! 😎 | |
| Don’t buy used McCormack DNA 1990s amps McCormack Audio was purchased by Conrad Johnson many years ago and they no longer manufacturer McCormack amplifiers. SMc Audio is owned operated by Steve McCormack, the original designer of McCormack Audio amplifiers. SMc upgrades the older ampl... | |
| Need recommendation for hi-rez xlr plugs for re-termination project The Furutech XLR range does NOT use copper pins, EXCEPT for their very top-of-the-line CF-601/602 NCF XLR connectors. The rest of them use α (Alpha) Beryllium copper and phosphor bronze conductors, according to their website. Those copper alloys... | |
| Need recommendation for hi-rez xlr plugs for re-termination project You asked so...having used expensive connectors on the cables I have made for years, I doubt those connectors make that much (if any) difference. If you don't like the sound of your new cables, changing XLR connectors is unlikely to substantially... |
