| The end of Perfect Path Technologies Ron at Marigo Audio told me the company is being renamed to something different and already has a new product called Eden 2. It’s an improvement to The Gate and can be plugged into any outlet in the house. I tried it and it works fantastic.-Alex | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... @veroguy I A/B'd with and without Gigafoil in my chain which is similar to yours with ENO Ag right before my streamer. I won't say anything to create bias for you. Looking forward to your findings!-Alex | |
| Best linear PSU under $1000? I just received my Illuminati V3 and will let it burn in for a few weeks but initial impressions is very similar to Paul Hynes.-Alex | |
| Audioquest Thunder and Tornado HC Power Cords @phillyb I have Hurricanes on my power conditioner and amp. My best cord Dragon goes on my DAC. IMO Source is most important.-Alex | |
| Node 2i performance suggestions pls @mstrauss58 I maxed out my Bluesound by doing these things:1) Swapped out the PSU board with the one from Poland on eBay and added a Linear Power Supply2) Added a Gutwire Grounding cable to unused RCA3) Ran Ethernet via Network Acoustics ENO and G... | |
| Uptone EtherRegen or Gigafoil v4??? I’ve had the EtherRegen, Gigafoil and ENO in my system. In the end I kept the Gigafoil and ENO. I have the ENO right before my streamer. I don’t think the Gigafoil is better than the EtherRegen but the ER gave me dropout issues and required reboot... | |
| Best linear PSU under $1000? @c_avila1 Thanks for the feedback. I'll be getting my V3 soon and excited to compare it to the V1. How is the EVO DAC? What DAC did you have prior to it?-Alex | |
| Moving up the Harbeth line @arafiq The 30’s will scale larger and easier to blend the Rel at a lower crossover.-Alex | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... @grannyring I'm considering their Digital SPDIF cable and I currently use your Helix Dueland. Is the Network Acoustic cable a significant improvement?-Alex | |
| Best linear PSU under $1000? @c_avila1 How does the Illuminati V3 compare to the Uptone? I have the V1 and contemplating upgrading to the V3...-Alex | |
| Moving up the Harbeth line I went from LS3/5a which is similar to the P3 to the 30.1 and they are absolutely glorious in a small room. I listen near-field as well with a pair of Rel subs. Highly recommend the 30's!-Alex | |
| Between a Node 2i and DAC: Does Coax cable quality really matter? @lowrider57 My Gen 2 has no issues. Why not order it and compare with your Gen 1? I agree with you it gets better with a LPS.-Alex | |
| Between a Node 2i and DAC: Does Coax cable quality really matter? @lowrider57 I’ve never tried the first generation. Only have the Purifier 2.-Alex | |
| Between a Node 2i and DAC: Does Coax cable quality really matter? Yes better cable helps but the bigger difference for me was adding the iFi SPDIF iPurifier 2. Amazon carries it so risk free trial.-Alex | |
| Can a Bluesound Node 2i power supply really be upgraded? @wjob Interesting...I have the Polish one and it is more than small difference for me in my system. Got better when I upgraded my LPS as well.-Alex |
