| Fundamental importance of power management However, I do believe it is entirely sensible to make the best of the room you have, regardless of the quality of the sound your components allow. | |
| Fundamental importance of power management Pardon my being argumentative; but, all talk of room acoustics first seems to me is putting the cart before the horse... Room acoustics “cannot” improve the quality of the sound emanating from the sources. That not an opinion. Making the best of ... | |
| Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter CD and Blu Ray tray treatment? cant comment : as “they” say - if you have nothing good to say - say nothing... | |
| What Shunyata and Furman (SMP) Have in common - Inductance! Thanks Erik. My tv and internet cable service units use a wall wart. I got a nice improvement in sound and video by putting them on a separate transformer isolated circuit. | |
| Best return for the money, system upgrade suggestions please. When you feel like another upgrade remember to experiment with ac isolation/conditioning. Best bang for buck is at the source. Something like “balanced power” like a Furnan or Equitech 2Q will be a permanent benefit whose value to your sound will ... | |
| What Shunyata and Furman (SMP) Have in common - Inductance! @erik_squires. Always appreciate your input. Would there be a benefit putting a strip before my Equitech 2Q? Any downside? My belief is that power cannot be too clean :) | |
| This Schitt is totally refreshing in the world of high end audio! Just check the measurements of that Schitt. Schitty. | |
| Cambridge 851C vs Oppo 205 The Oppo 205 also benefits significantly with a simple upgrade you can do yourself. Replace the digital power supply (used for the digital section) with the “Oppomod” LPS - linear power supply that people with very refined systems indicate makes s... | |
| Cambridge 851C vs Oppo 205 To improve your sound- probably very enjoyably - on both units - particularly the Oppo 205, simply “try” an Equitech 2Q or top line Furman or other serious power conditioner. I hope you’re pleasantly surprised. | |
| Berkely Alpha Dac 1 with Oppo 205? Just looked at an interesting review of the original alpha dac in Audiosciencereview. The measurements are interesting. Will look to compare to the Alpha Dac 2 | |
| Berkely Alpha Dac 1 with Oppo 205? @erik_squires . Smooth sounds attractive as I consider that to be free from distortion or harshness. I think I’d be considered a listener who appreciates ruthlessly revealing due to appreciation of refined nuance. I love the subtle detail of indiv... | |
| Berkely Alpha Dac 1 with Oppo 205? @erik_squires . Unsure what you mean by cool. My goal for a better DAC is to obtain increased clarity and dynamics. I find a lot of pleasure in the nuance; from orchestral and chamber to jazz and solo instrument. I’m hopeful :) | |
| Power conditioner , Re-generator.....for Spectral DMA 150 / 180 Power amplifiers I can only comment on Joe Abrams: very experienced and knowledgeable and generous with help. A very rare source of depth in our hobby. | |
| Rockport Atrias versus Revel Salon 2 Thanks Steve. Dynamics my require loudness - to an extent- so I appreciate your info. However my listening is at relatively modest level and clarity and nuance that will allow me to appreciate subtle details are main considerations. Do you feel on... | |
| Is OPPO worth the inflated price? @uberwaltz . Unless you’re possibly using a very old Pioneer receiver - from which everything sounds lush and mellow :) |
