| Power Cords My 2-channel system: Monitor Audio PL 500 speakers, Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amplifier, Jeff Rowland Corus preamp, Antipodes DS GT music server, Chord Dave DAC , JL Audio F112 V2. All inter-connect cables are Wireworld Platinum. Speaker cable is Wirewo... | |
| Power Cords auxinput,I agree that how power cords are terminated is important. That's why my Silver Electra cables have upgraded Platinum plugs. | |
| Power Cords I should add, after my audition I'm no longer considering replacing all of my cords. I'm convinced the right cord on my DAC and amplifier or power conditioner will provide the change I'm seeking. | |
| Power Cords bo1972,I honestly appreciate your input, NOW A BIG BUT. As much as I love my Monitor Audio PL-500's, there are speakers that I prefer over them. They are more expensive than the PL-500's, but my point is I don't want to get into this what you reco... | |
| Power Cords Blindjim,Thanks so much very taking the time to provide such a detailed to response. My plans are to get a home audition of Audioquest, Audience, and the Shunyata Alpha NR. Although only for one day, inserting the Shunyata Sigma NR erased any doub... | |
| Power Cords Lets not turn another thread into back and forth arguing! I'm open to any suggestions under $3K for a 2M cord. | |
| Power Cords I only had one day to evaluate the power cords and I've already returned them. He loaned me two cords. I used one on my amp and the other on my DAC. Both cords were to short to use on my power conditioner. The dealer agreed to allow me to try them... | |
| New Yggdrasil - First (and second) Impressions When I replaced my Jeff Rowland Aeris DAC with the Dave, there was an obvious difference from the first note. Yesterday, I replaced my Wireworld power cords with Shunyata Sigma, again from the first note there is an obvious difference. | |
| Chord Dave skanda,I've tried the Dave direct and prefer the Dave with a preamp. In my system it's not close, but every system is different. | |
| Chord Dave limniscate,You say, "I was underwhelmed with the Dave in my system." That's why I always say, no absolutes in Audio, only preferences. I submit we put too much focus on individual components and forget it's a system. The Chord Dave is just outstan... | |
| Chord Dave Well I tried the Chord Dave direct tonight. I had my wife play her favorite songs. She immediately asked me what I did. She simply said, "something didn’t sound right." I started writing down my thoughts:1. two dimensional-height, width, and depth... | |
| Chord Dave It should read music server, not media server. | |
| Chord Dave It's my understanding that you can connect a media server to the Blu mkII and it will upsample to improve the sound. Can anyone comment on the sonic impact of combination of the Blu mkII with the Dave? | |
| Chord Dave Greetings limniscate,I haven’t had the opportunity to hear the Blu MkII upscaling CD transport. I have a music server and can’t justify getting the Blu upscaler...at least not yet:)! My friend asked me to try one, but I refused. I'm going to play ... | |
| Chord Dave jond,Thanks. This is a crazy "hobby"! As the saying goes, one man's medicine, is another man's poison. My friend tried the Dave and wasn't overwhelmed with it in his system. I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. I submit it's the most significa... |
