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 Thank you, Atma. I will try that. It is the one variation I have not yet tried.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... | |
Best Sounding new releases 2015 On a more popular note, FLAC version of Brian Wilson's new No Pier Pressure album is superb sonically, musically, vocally and emotionally. Will put some sunshine in your day.Neal | |
"Audiophile" fuses. A comparison. Agree with Hifial on the SR Red fuses. Replaced HiFi Supreme top of the line fuses with the reds and there was an audible improvement. They actually work.Neal | |
ARC REF 5SE, CJ GAT or ? BTW, I use the VTL 7.5 iii with a Krell FPB 300cx, so if you were wondering about compatibility with Krell, there it is.Neal | |
ARC REF 5SE, CJ GAT or ? I looked into both of these to replace my Wyetech Opal, and chose the VTL 7.5 Mk iii. Astonishing neutrality, imaging and soundstanging; great remote; and exceptional flexibility (RCA and XLR, among many other features). If you find one used (and ... |
