| What Power Cord can improve clarity and bass slam? Dayglow --Perhaps you've come to this realization(or not) already, but one way to at least partially achieve your goal could be looking for powercords based on solid-core wires, believing them in general to entail many, if not all of your sought-a... | |
| How to "break-in" new speakers?? 12-15-11: Transaudio...What DOES happen is changes in your ears day to day. Weather, humidity, your health, how tired you are, can play a huge role in sound "quality" (i.e. your personal perception of sound ). Also, your attitude makes a huge diff... | |
| DIY Speaker wire I'm very much into (DIY) solid-core wires, in fact I use them exclusively throughout my setup as both power cables(16 awg copper, PE insulated, from the Danish equivalent to 'Home Depot'), speakers cables(Mundorf Silver/gold, ~16 awg, teflon insul... | |
| Use of isolation transformer Timestretcher --Thanks for your reply. I'm thinking: why even presume the effect of any given isolation transformer automatically equates into what is always essentially "right," i.e. that is supported by actual lowering of distortion figures and ... | |
| Use of isolation transformer UPDATE:I've eventually decided to remove the isolation transformer over my DAC(though the one over the HTPC remains). Over time, in the wake of this ISO trsf's initial inclusion and being properly configured(/wired), I (still) had the recurring, f... | |
| Best DAC under 2k US ? There's also HEGEL's HD20, with the (to my mind) very worthwhile feature:... The HD20 has a high performance digital pre amplifier, fully capable of driving a high end power amplifier.http://www.hegel.com/hd20.htmPrice in Scandinavia is roughly $1... | |
| Raidho C1.1 Raidho C2.1 reivew:http://www.ultraaudio.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=236:ribbons-and-revelations-raidho-acoustics-c21-loudspeakers&catid=44:feature-articles&Itemid=37 | |
| Has anyone ever seen/heard a Raidho C4 in person? I heard the C4's at the Raidho facility in Denmark back in April 2010. At the time they weren't 100% production matured(though close, I gather), being that Mr. Kristensen and his staff were still tinkering with various aspects of their sound repro... | |
| Use of isolation transformer Ok, measurements from today's test are revealed below. I must add that my setup - DAC, poweramp, and HTP - is star-grounded, and I live in a 2nd floor apartment(build '58) in Denmark. None of the ISO transformers are grounded. Wall outlet voltage ... | |
| Survey-What is your most used source? Lossless files, exclusively - mostly WAV, rest FLAC - stored on harddrive and played back from RAM(memory play) via JRiver MC17. | |
| Use of isolation transformer Jea48(Jim) - Thanks again for your reply. I'll have a friend over with a voltage meter this coming weekend, and we'll then make the test and see what it reveals. I'm guessing my sonic evaluations, being that they're consistent in both cases, will ... | |
| Use of isolation transformer Thanks to all for the replies. I would seem a balanced isolation transformer, feeding all components, is a viable solution both with regard to size and noise level - disregarding cost, not that I believe it'll be an excessive figure. I'll have thi... | |
| Use of isolation transformer 06-02-12: ElizabethThis will turn into a circus..How do you mean? For the op, one additional step you might try IS getting a isolation transformer which changes the incoming voltage from single ended 120v/0v to balanced power of 60v/60v AC.And see... | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? On the Speakers front page at the very bottom, why is this thread suddenly relegated to having had the latest post on New Year's Eve Day '69??? | |
| Analytical or Musical Which way to go? Gregadd - Sorry, my post above is likely out of your context and "flavored" with my own presumptions. It makes it seem as if you are somehow in "trouble" with your questions, which I have no right to assume nor was it my true intention. I guess I ... |
