| Audio Research Pre Amp also try Audio Circle and Audio AsylumI'm curious too... | |
| Isolation transformer for laptop charger? detrimental? when used on the amp?maybe they aren't sized correctly? | |
| Dc for power supply noise - free powerI think the OP is a non-native English speaker and filament means something elseif so, go ahead and put a post in your native language below your response - somebody may be bi-lingual | |
| Does a tube need the break-in hours? "30 minute warmup"that's the ticket - do it | |
| Let's talk power cords try an isolation transformer !! | |
| Suggest an SACD/CD player under $6k try out a 205 | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Take any amp, have a friend replace it's fuse with a high end fuse or pretend tothen, you listen and guess A or Bdo it 20 times and report backI will give a free liquid-metal filled goop egg interconnect cable to anyone getting it right 19/20 time... | |
| Lowering the noise floor also, look at the parts of the chain that are most susceptible to noise causing SQ decrementselectrical noise isn't just something you hear on super quiet passages, it can also reduce spatial and transient aspects of sound reproduction- whether it... | |
| Magneplanar Listening Comparison 1.7 vs. 3.7 Speakers One advantage of the 3.7 is that it doesn't need to be bi-amped - much improved crossover | |
| Help with upgrading Pre Amp those are all good pre-ampsa used Audio Research might be a possibility too - it will be more neutral that a CJ (phat sound) but still have that tubey liquidity with some warmth...sounds like you are in NoLa? consider a move to the Esplanade ridge... | |
| Tube preamp recommendations $3K-$7K range a used Audio Research - my LS25 Mk II cost $2,500 with new select tubes in it - less than your minimuma friend got an LS28 new and loves itlots of used ARC every time they bring out a new pre- just start lookingI expect (w/o listening to each next... | |
| Added value of separate server? it is unlikely that it will improve the SQ given that you have an Ayreyou could try it, but I'd look elsewhere for any SQ improvements | |
| Audioquest DC cables - why are there almost no high end DC cables? richardhk - take a look a Ghent cables - they are making up star-quad DC cables for reasonable pricesstar-quad alters the inductance to act as an inductor (choke, ferrite beads) and reduce RF noise injection to the DACAn LPS is not a bad idea either | |
| Lowering the noise floor I have come to the conclusion that success in home audio reproduction is largely about speakers & room treatments.Lowering the noise floor (EMF noise) can be very useful for digital audio - the most critical issue is to ensure galvanic isolati... |
