Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile isaacc7: A tube preamp without duplicative/reduntant gain, which it seems the Freya+ isn't. I have no interest in the SS state. | |
Schiit Freya + Class A in Stereophile I've been looking at the Freya+ to pair with my Audio-GD Master 19 but have hesitated because the Freya+ is not passive in the tube stage. Running an amp into an amp seems likes a huge compromise in sound, and running the Freya+ in passive SS mode... | |
Power Conditioning on the Cheap emailists: Are you sure about Underwood Hi-Fi offering trial with their power conditioners? I had a conversation about this very matter with Walter and he claimed he has never offered free returns of anything he's sold, ever. I found that shocking... | |

Where to use 3M Adhesive Back EMI Absorber AB5100S? From which components did you get the greatest benefits? | |
Where to use 3M Adhesive Back EMI Absorber AB5100S? I’ve considered that. But, before I start cutting up the sheets, I’m looking for guidance as to where I’ll get the most benefit. I also don’t want to muck up a components innards by shorting something, or worse. | |

PS Audio DirectStream DAC measurements by ASR @mtrot Wow, you think the SGC lacks bass and impact? If there’s one thing it does have it’s bass and impact, in spades. I have owned many DAC/preamp combos like the SGC and it betters all of them, regardless of measurements. With more than 45 year... | |
A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ? Here's my enthusiastic vote for PS Audio. Every experience I've had with the company has been positive. They make great products at a reasonable price, and their customer service is second-to-none. Paul McGowan is a gentleman and straight-shooter,... | |

Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To wpiercy: Interesting, I had the opposite opinion. Liked the Furman Elite 15 PFi quite a bit, also liked the Tripplite, but found it less satisfactory. The Tripplite had a constrained frequency response to my ears. Slightly veiled. Then again, i... | |
Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To voodoofunk: Interesting. Some folks rave about the Puritan products, but you have a different opinion. Such is the way of this hobby. I would try the Equi-Core 1000 or 1300 if not for the fact that the exclusive seller doesn't allow "trial." Fo... | |
Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To bemused: I've ordered two of their plug-in harmonic resonators.I figure this is a low-cost way to see if they work, and to what effect. | |
Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To: notubesforyouThanks for the vote for Shunyata. They seem to get the most votes overall. I looked at several but all had 15-20 years of age on them, and I'd prefer to get something newer, or new. Their new stuff is way out of my budget range.In... | |
Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To bemused: I did look at their products and did some research on the tech. The science may be good, and the results enjoyable, but if it doesn't address EMI and RFI, I'm not going to be satisfied. |
