| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? Power cords are (mostly) three runs of stranded copper wire with PVC insulation, twisted together (sometimes with filler material for damping), and encased in a PVC jacket. The main variables that affect power transmission are the wire gauge, shi... | |
| Who uses ADS Speakers Very cool pics. Those could be my L810s, that I stupidly sold as part of my initial ride on the high end merry-go-round. I wish I had them back. I also miss the 300i automobile speakers about which I received many complements from those who hea... | |
| AC Power @erik_squires - Thank you. @jea48 - I actually have four 20A dedicated lines powering my system. One circuit located in a separate room away from my system that is dedicated to my internet modem, router, music server, and associated peripheral... | |
| AC Power @erik_squires - Speaking of voltage regulation, any difference between this and this, other than $1,400? It seems 15A should mostly be enough for digital front end, if not all front end components. | |
| New DAC issues @audioman58 - The Merason DAC1 MkII is a really nice sounding DAC that I enjoyed having in my system. Ultimately, I decided to sell mine but I certainly understand that some will find it an end-game DAC. Cool hybrid BB DAC chips used. Here is my... | |

| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. You think Amir is paying to use the panther, I doubt it. Sure he paid, he bought it. Its his panther. | |
| Looking for a pre-built recessed audio rack I like your idea to access the back of the components for routing cables and easy connections to dedicated power. What a convenient place for a storage/electrical utility room. Consider routing your cable/internet into that room too so you can eas... | |
| What benefit does a DDC really do for a DAC? For sure, using a DDC will allow you to use a variety connections to your DAC. If your DAC sounds best from an input that is not available as an output from your streamer, then interfacing with a DDC that allows you to use that type of connection ... | |
| Rule of thumb for used digital componants? Too many variables for a “rule of thumb”. The world of digital components is still on the move, with new products and manufacturer upgrades of existing products coming out that make certain existing products less desirable and therefore less valu... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Larry Carlton, Robben Ford - Unplugged - Excellent guitar playing! | |
| Six DAC Comparison A few words about the Benchmark DAC3 HGC. The Benchmark is like an elusive concept for me. How can a DAC that provides "state-of-the-art measured performance" not sound perfect and, why doesn’t it sound like every other DAC that provides "state-of... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. Should "The Absolute Sound" be "The Approximate Sound"? | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD @geoffalter - @georgehifi still has a system page but hasn't posted here since November of 2021. That said, 10 years after it was first posted, this thread is still valid given the relatively low percentage of content available beyond Redbook ... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. “My biggest problem are the members who can ONLY see the audio world through their own narrow vision. Every time someone seeks advice, it's the same routine of "it doesn't matter," rather than having any REAL input/advice. What I DO value it ... |
