| Help with Equitech 1.5Q power conditioner Actually i think these units deliver +60 VAC on the hot and -60 VAC on the neutral. I belive that is what your meter should read when testing the outlets. Hot to ground +60 v and neutral to ground is -60 v. Measuring across hot and neutral sh... | |
| Streamer output options If you ask some designers , they do not like I2S as they feel it's not a circuit that should involve external cables. It should happen on the circuit board trace close to the chip. | |

| Help With Streamer - Aurender, Auralic, HIFI Rose, Eversolo A10, etc. I love my Aurender. Have used Innuos, Bluesound (which I still own) and Eversolo Since having an entry streamer like Bluesound and a really good one like my Aurender N200 all I can say is it comes down to support. Aurender is incredibly wel... | |

| Have you ever bought something you've never heard of? Nice. I’ve have been spinning discs a lot lately. I find that the original CD almost always is better than a remaster. I think most of the streaming content is remastered and there’s no way around it. I try to avoid the cable controversy but if y... | |
| Have you ever bought something you've never heard of? I often research a product until it's discontinued. I have bought without auditioning or seeing in person , but never something I've never heard of. That's why these forums are a valuable resource. I can see maybe with cables that don't bre... | |
| McIntosh MC2105 paired with a C53 pre? The DA2 DAC is way better than most would give it credit. It's an excellent sounding DAC |
