| DIY "HiFi" cables - and why I don't trust BJC and the likes mozartfan.Because the higher the grade of the conductor the more low level information is available. I have tried various forms of copper, don't kid yourself it all matters. If you want the best.I probably have about $500 total into my DIY pure si... | |
| DIY "HiFi" cables - and why I don't trust BJC and the likes I disagree with DIY cables not sounding good.I have made many, the latest power cord version I made is with pure 10 gauge .9999 solid silver covered with a very high quality Teflon. I braided the 3 conductors lightly and terminated them with Furut... | |
| Focal sopra 2/Gryphon Diablo 300 not good match I own the Focal Sopra 2's and I would not describe them as bright sounding. But, I have Stillpoints Aperture panels at the first and second reflection points and also ASC tube traps in the corner.My guess is there is an impedance mismatch with th... | |

| power cord with Niagara 1200 I agree, even though I have 3 of the Audioquest Niagara power conditioners on my 3 dedicated lines I also have a whole house surge protector.But, if I'm home and the lightning is close I still unplug.ozzy | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? Here is what Source Systems LTD/ Lumin commented on via email about the Lumin break in time." All good digital takes 400-500 hours to begin to sound its best. Then it gets better and better even after that. You can leave it on with or without musi... | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? Noble100, Tim,I first ordered a Apple I-Pad via Amazon but it must have been a resold unit because it already had a password and couldn’t be unlocked. Apple was no help.Knowing that the X1 was on the way to me, I went to the local Best Buy and bou... | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? Thanks, I wonder if it would matter the type of resolution playing through it? Probably not, but if I play Qoboz I'll find a higher rez file to loop.I'm going to find the sleep setting.ozzy | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? three_easy-payments,Thanks. I noticed there is only and on/off breaker type switch in the back of the power supply so its probably designed to be left on all the time.BTW, I just ordered a SR orange fuse for it.ozzy | |
| power cord with Niagara 1200 I agree the Audioquest power cords were designed to work with other Audioquest equipment.But, I write that and I found that my DIY power cord (made out of 10 gauge solid .9999 silver with Furutech connectors) to be better than the HC Hurricane I w... | |
| Any thoughts on Pass X150.8 ? I owned a Pass X350.5 for a few years. I then demoed a X350.8 and I ended up keeping the .5 .To me, the .8 series is less lively compared to the .5 version.ozzy | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? bwguy,Thank you for the info/help. I have been playing the X1 for about a day via Qoboz. The plan is to let it play 24/7 for a few weeks. Do you think there should always be music playing through it or is just having the unit on enough? ozzy | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? jaybe,At this point, it is a little harder sounding compared to my Bryston/PS Dac combo in which I had for many years. It's not dark that's for sure.But, I have read elsewhere that the Lumin X1 takes several hundred + hours to sound its best. So, ... | |
| PS Direct Stream Vs. Lumin X 1 Sound quality difference? Well finally received the X1.It was a little confusing at first and I had to do a factory reset. Then after trial and error and a few swearing sessions it started to work.And... it is playing the songs from my 8TB external Hard drive just fine.Fir... | |
