| Thoughts on Krell FPB series? 600 in particular. Michael,IN connection with your Krell re-capping, was this done by Krell? What effect -- pro or con- on the amp's sound did the recap have?Thanks,Neal | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Sorry to interrupt all the stomping on the PSA DSD, but I recently loaded the Yale beta software and this is the Goldilocks upgrade: everything now is just right. Pikes peak was awful -- to the point of un-listenable! 1.2.1 was good but not great.... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Thank you. I will try it. Pikes Peak is a bit too sharp and overly detailed for my tastes.Neal | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Sabai,Is the Yale firmware more recent than Pikes Peak? hard to keep uop with PSA. Thanks.Neal | |
| Less Loss & Shunyata power cords You should try the LessLoss Reference before opining on LessLoss's lack of evolution; it is a significant step up from the Signature. That said, I have not heard the equivalent level Zitron PC (Anaconda?).Neal | |
| Is 50 wpc SS NAD enough to power Spendor SP1? I owned SP!'s for a long time. You really need a minimum of 100 watts/ch of high quality amp to do them justice.Neal | |

| Strange Hum from Right Pre Channel Only Atmasphere,Yes, same cables. No hum. Thanks.Neal | |
| Strange Hum from Right Pre Channel Only Thanks for suggestions. I will try Atmasphere's suggestion. In the meantime, some other pieces of evidence:When I use the XLR cables directly from DAC outputs to amp XLR inputs, i.e., using the DAC as a preamp, there is no hum.When I switch the ca... | |
| Strange Hum from Right Pre Channel Only Thank you. I do not think it is a ground loop. I suspected an issue with the XLR cables. These are HiDiamond top of the line XLR's IC's and I have to see if there is anywhere in the USA I can have them looked at.Very mysterious. In 40+ years of th... | |
| What DACs support DSD input NOT via USB? I think the PS Audio DirectStream DAC does.Neal | |
| PSAudio Direct Stream or Bryston BDA/BDP2? An admirable choice, based on what I have read (have not heard it). I had been using a Stealth Sextet, which was the best among the myriad I had tried over the years, but now am trying out a Nordost Odin digital. It either is mind-bogglingly trans... | |
| PSAudio Direct Stream or Bryston BDA/BDP2? Good news.Which digital cable are you using? In my experience, this makes a dramatic difference. Neal | |
| PSAudio Direct Stream or Bryston BDA/BDP2? Ricred1,So how is the BDP?Neal | |
| Monitor Audio Gold GX300 Really, Pontiflex? My experience is diametrically opposite: more power, better sound, especially on soft passages, or abrupt transitions from soft to powerful sounds. Perfect example: Wagner preludes and overtures.Just one man's opinion. as Sam Te... |
