| Stealth Dream AC powerchord I'm using all Stealth cables (IC + PC + SC) and I 'm extremely happy with all of them. I've tried Stealth Dream power cords against many well known brands and it beat them by far every time. | |
| Can I go wrong with Stealth Indra ? No, you can't go wrong with Indras. I'm using all Stealth cables Dream power cords, speaker cables, Varidig Sexted digital IC and Indra IC's from DAC to Pre and Pre to Amps. I've compared Indras against Synergistic Research Absolute Ref. cables an... | |
| wilson grand slamm vs. maxx2 IMO, Maxx2 is sonically better than X-1 and is very close to X-2 at 1/3 price. So my suggestion is to go with the Maxx2. Plus X-1's are not being produced anymore so it's not a wise move to invest in them. | |
| Which High-End preamps have these 2 features? Thanks for the replies. To avoid any second thoughts I went with the Boulder 2010 Pre and I'm very glad with my decision. It's an outstanding Preamp | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective I've just received my Metronome Kalista Reference transport and Boulder 2020 DAC. This combo literally burried my EMM stack (CDSD + DAC6e) even at their first 5 minutes of playing. There was no comparison at all. Gone was the metallic harsh sound ... | |
| Using US plug power cables in 220V Shuko areas I wouldn't use any adapters. If your setup allows, get a US type power conditioner, plug it in to the Shuko wall receptacle with a decent cable with a Shuko plug and then use your better US type power cords with the power conditioner.Or just chang... | |
| Help - Mark Levinson Owners I agree with Stealth Dream cords, they sound better than Shunyata and Elrods in my system. | |
| Small gauge ground wire, is it OK? OK, the cable has a metal braided shield.Should this be used as a ground path? Should it also be connected at both ends (IEC and Breaker) to the ground terminals? | |
| Any Boulder pre/power amp users here? Yes, this is also what I'm getting for my Boulders. Indra IC's and Stealth Dream speaker cables. | |
| Preamp between EMM CDSD & DCC2 & Gamut amps Why do you need a separate Preamp? DCC2 by itself should do very well as a preamp. | |
| best preamp ever - cost is no object I have the 2010 Boulder Pre along with the 2050 Monos. I have to say that I haven't listened to many of the above listed well-respected names, but all I can say is it's a GREAT preamp, no sound colorations, very fast and very natural. It is at lea... | |
| Soldering cable ends for AC terminations You're right. Maybe I should also ask if soldering the wire ends has any benefits or should I just stick the bare copper after treating them with something like Walker SST? | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Branimir, thanks for the suggestions. I know that I can't go wrong with the Esoteric combo. But while they are one of the top 3-4 brands for digital. They are also being critisized for being "digital" and sometimes found as too "sterile". Since my... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Thanks Branimir, the reason I want to go with Boulder 2020 is because I recently replaced ML Pre/power amps with 2010 Pre and 2050 Monos. I'm thinking it will be best to complete the set with the Boulder DAC. As for Metronome, I've heard great thi... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective I'm considering a Metronome Kalista Reference transport combined with a Boulder How do you think these combo will sound? I'm sure it's not been tried, but has anyone listened to a Boulder DAC or Kalista transport in a familiar setup? |
