Ted Denney, and Synergistic Research's Powercell
Antonkk,My understanding of the situation from the people I know in the industry is that there have been some people on the Shunyata side posting negative things about Synergistic.Whether that's the case or not I do not know for a fact.In my case,... 
Ted Denney, and Synergistic Research's Powercell
Rgs92,First, thank you.That's an interesting combo. It would be fun to hear the difference between the Powercell and the Triton in your system.Personally, I have the Synergistic Powercell, and power cords, but Tara Labs for my interconnects and sp... 
Ted Denney, and Synergistic Research's Powercell
Yo2tup,First, I want to say, thank you for reading my article.I understand your skepticism. When it comes to high end audio it's hard not to be cynical. I'm the biggest cynic in the world, and it takes a lot to earn my trust. Now, to address your ...

I forgot to post this in the above piece, but I buy all of my Synergistic Research products from Scott Walker of Scott Walker Audio.He's a fantastic dealer, and I recommend giving him a call if your in Orange County, and interested in trying anyth... 
Why do Audiophiles feel the need...
I agree with you. I never comment on equipment I haven't heard. Now I may comment on the musical philosophy of a particular company(each audio manufacturer emphasis certain aspects of audio reproduction over others because no one piece of equipmen... 
Wadia 170iTransport - To mod, or not to mod?
Noshortcuts,One mod I didn't get because I didn't feel like spending the money was to mod the Wadia so that it is battery powered. Even though I am using a Shunyata python as a power cord, and running it through a Shunyata V-Ray, I would imagine t...

Wadia 170iTransport - To mod, or not to mod?
UsBlues,I have had nothing but good experiences with Doug at ASi. In what way is he a poor businessman? 
Wadia 170iTransport - To mod, or not to mod?
Sakahara,The first mod I would make is to upgrade to the iTouch. The solid state drive in it makes no noise unlike the iPod Classic which uses a standard hard drive. This will improve sound quality immediately.I am having my Wadia upgraded by ASI ... 
msb Ilink vs. wadia 170i ipd docks
Jsadurni,My local dealer was a Forsell dealer(before Dr. Forsell retired). He has the Forsell transport and the Forsell Turntable. Trust me the Forsell turntable is the best turntable out there. You can pick them up used but it's a great risk beca... 
msb Ilink vs. wadia 170i ipd docks
Bombaywalla,You are correct that jitter rates of 7ps or 2ps are silly in the sense that at that low of a rate I am not sure you can hear a difference in noise, resolution etc. At the end of the day I am paying for a much better clock that will red... 
msb Ilink vs. wadia 170i ipd docks
Hey Guys, I love my transport so much that I am doing the following mods too it(see below). It will be interesting to see how it compares to my Lector transport and the MSB after they are done. The new clock put inside will reduce jitter below 2ps... 
msb Ilink vs. wadia 170i ipd docks
Hens,You make an excellent point. The Wadia does re-clock the signal. How could two different publishers come up with different measurements that are so different? 115ps is very low and 3000ps is very high. That's really weird.Hens when you import... 
msb Ilink vs. wadia 170i ipd docks
Hi Usarmyvet,What's your real name? Mine is Justin. Just like to be more personal.Okay, the reason the engineer didn't give me the amount is because he was not the one who designed the 170i. That guy was out of the office yesterday. I am hoping to... 
msb Ilink vs. wadia 170i ipd docks
I spoke with Wadia today to get their side of the story.First let's clear up some misconceptions:1. The Wadia re-clocks all signals before digital output.2. The Wadia is not just a bunch of wires inside. It actually has 2 very large circuit boards...
