| Do you power your Class D amp on and off? Leave it on all the time. They draw only some 15 watts inactive. That is, unless there is a thunderstorm in the region. | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? I think you hit a homer there, Kijanki. Hearing is an issue. I know a reviewer who has a high frequency deficiency. Music that is loud and dynamic is a good thing. Accuracy is not. Amazingly, my hearing is very good. I want sound at it's proper le... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System My speakers average .8 ohm, and dip to .3 ohm. My SCs are 12 gauge and are .003" thick. | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System Kijanki........ Wow......... You know your stuff. I don't know anything about cable science. I just know by experience what works, and what doesn't. My stand on insulation is not total. I am open to anything that will prove me wrong. It has to mak... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System I know this sounds nut case, but I say my system unveils cables for what they are. I can predict how they sound by how they look. Simply said, regardless of any money value, cables with the most insulation sound the worst. With every wrap discarde... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? I need to add something. It has been my experience less is more. My wires can't be more simple. The DAC lacks a filter chip. The preamp is spartan. Every little change proclaims itself loudly, training me to go simple. The end result spotlights th... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Hello Bryon,I love your read. Since I was impressed with your thoughts on system attributes, I took the liberty to check out your system. There I noticed you have every base covered with laudable name brand audio gear. Positive feedback can be fou... | |
| So many preamps, so little time The H20 Fire preamp has been compared to many of the above. If you want power, information, dynamics, depth, warmth oh shoot..... It has it all. It is the only preamp I have had in my system that adds to the enjoyment over straight amp feeding. An... | |
| HDMI cable made a difference in picture quality?? HDMI has it all over component on my video system. I bought Belden cable from Blue Jeans. The picture is ultra crisp, the color well balanced, and brilliant. The detail fools my cat into thinking those are real birds flying around during Sunrise E... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Hi teajay, your review is top drawer. Don't you wish you could meld the B crowd with the A crowd, and have it all? I have an Audio Note DAC. It has all the qualities you enumerated for it. What is really cool though, the AN DAC has a lot of room f... | |
| Are anti-cable interconnects properly shielded? Be sure to keep your Speltz ICs separate from each other. I have found they can talk to each other, or cancel one or the other out. | |
| Passive preamp vs. powered Phaelon, hearing everything on the disc can sound so natural, it never draws your attention to the detail, as it becomes part of the whole package. Blocking out detail detracts from the trueness of every part of the performance, every singer, and ... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System I use a DIY thin ribbon SC that cost a tiny fraction of other component's and beats the band. The Speltz IC does all that can be done letting the boys in the band through. I is the power cables where I have to drop the bucks. They provide the gran... | |
| Passive preamp vs. powered The H2O Fire is the only preamp that sounds marvelous on my speakers. It is just starting to turn heads. | |
| Which inexpensive ic's cables worth checking out? Speltz Anti-Cable IC. Buy them and keep them through out other system component changes. |
