Static electricity and my Denafrips do not get along
Carlsbad2, that’s what I thought too, I thought about taking the hot and neutral and breaking pins off on a power cord and only using ground in the wall and a while coming off iec outlet on cord but wasn’t sure if that was a good way to go. Or jus... 
Static electricity and my Denafrips do not get along
oddiofyl, I ripped apart some Romex I had laying around and ran some bare copper wire out a window and clamped it to a water faucet in the back yard. Ran it behind rack along the wall between molding and carpet behind curtains and out window you c... 
Static electricity and my Denafrips do not get along
oddioftl, I like that were did you find earth ground? I saw a guy on you tube use a computer power cord and used the barrel plug that goes in the computer as a ground to hold onto, not sure if that would work.    Thanks milpai, I tried touching w... 
*DAC
I’m sorry I did not read all the post, someone may have already suggested this. If you can add a DDC a nice usb and a silver or very nice short I2s cable. This will help dig much deeper into the recording. Everything will be more pronounced and na... 
DAC upgrade
I owned the Qutest and RME they were both nice Qutest had better sound stage. I have the Pontus. Iris was eye opening for $350 used, I think it’s a must. The big shocker was adding the fairly cheap Wire World silver sphere hdmi over a $25 hdmi. It... 
Class A, A/B vs Class D amp Soundstage
I’ve owned PS Audio class D. It was a must to leave amp on 24/7. If amp was put back in the system it could take 3 to 5 days before things sounded correct again. A/B amps would take maybe 24 and at most 48 hours and class A tube a few hours. Why c... 
Help choosing a DAC
I had a CJ cav45 S2 with the Pontus and borrowed a Venus and I can relate to Vishines thoughts between the two. I think the Pontus has the relaxed character of the CJ. Venus is just a little different. If you are trying to branch out from CJ sound... 
REL owners, how many clicks on your gain and crossover
Roose, “put there garbage out” sorry I don’t get it. The subs are set up correct, I did list everything first post, 42hz, if you need speakers there Pulsars, reference 3a reflectors, I put room size and asked if people if they would like to put th... 
REL owners, how many clicks on your gain and crossover
Roose, why don’t you understand rel says everyone will probably end up around 15 clicks. Why can rel claim how many clicks but I can’t ask how many clicks, makes no sense.    I’m finding all tracks are sounding best between 2 and 3 clicks on gain... 
REL owners, how many clicks on your gain and crossover
Thanks everyone for there advise but I have read the manual, watched all the videos days ago and have set the sub the way I like it for now, it’s still breaking in.   I have owned many subs but used in home theater only. I tried them 15 or so yea... 
REL owners, how many clicks on your gain and crossover
I don’t think it’s foolish. Rel videos say 15 clicks -3/+3. That’s way to much for my room. I’m now using both red and yellow wires into amp. I’m running 4 clicks on gain right now as I explore what’s going on. I said I know all rooms are differen... 
Very small room! Help me with monitor speakers
He might have bought something by now he’s had 3 1/2 years to look. Hell while I’m here Reference 3a Decappo and a rel t5x  
Streamer to Denafrips Iris to Pontus need cable suggestions please
I’m going to order the DH Labs hdmi, I hear some say the shorter the better. I may even be able to go half meter but is this necessary? What is the break in period on hdmi, I hate breaking in cables.  
Streamer to Denafrips Iris to Pontus need cable suggestions please
Thanks everyone, glad to hear USB is way to go. Guy that sold me Iris threw in a a DB Labs The Essential USB for $20 extra,retail $300 have no idea if it’s good or not so I’ll use it for now.    The Iris is the 12th so it has the added RJ45 cable... 
Help with tube choice
I have the Amprex gold pin, SQ, PQ’s all seem brighter in my system than the bugle boy. Valvo’s are mellower, Orange globe are brighter than white lablel amprex gold pin SQ,PQ. Bugle Boy can be a Goldilocks tube sometimes.    if your preamp takes...
