| Power cord for low-watt tube amp? I've tried a few different power cords on a 8 wpc SET stereo amp. I got very good results with Triode Wire Labs, Shunyata Python Zitron, and a DIY cord made from 10 AWG finely stranded copper, and Marinco connectors. Of those three, the Triode Wir... | |
| Which personal confuser for ultra high end audio, MAC, PC, notebook, tablet or desktop? Looks like a De-confuser is needed here. I'm using a MAC Mini with the above mentioned signal cleaners, reconstruction, ground plane devises, etc. I will say the sound is very good. A Music Server with Ethernet in would be the next step up.Each br... | |
| Class D = Trash? I see what appears to be contradictory statements about break in. But you are all basically correct based on my experience.Teo says if something sounds bad, don't keep it. Well good, but when you find a product that does sound good, what do you do... | |
| Mogami 3103 and Supra Ply3.4 speaker cables. Review. I don't know, but it sounds like something else is going on with your system. The higher end Supra Cables have received very good reviews. Some described their sound as being more open and less veiled, with very "tight bass".Imaging with cable cha... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Quote from calloway: Does anyone have a DC that can give some report on its benefit???I had a PS Audio unit, did not like it. Also had an Isotek Sigma. Kept the sigma for about a year, then sold it after doing many comparisons and tests.I hope Cor... | |
| Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord? Yping, I looked at the Klei power cords you mentioned. Klei is using a special arrangement to enhance the power delivery of the "hot" conductor, and optimize the neutral and ground.Balanced power does not have a neutral conductor. Instead, there a... | |
| Audiophile fuses - Synergistic Black fuses vs the còmpetition I mentioned earlier that the Black fuse sounded slightly more natural than the stock fuse. Trouble is that it failed after about two weeks. Must have been an incorrectly labeled fuse because defective fuses are very rare. I'll ask Synergistic abou... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... I tried an SR Black fuse in place of a relatively new fuse ( about 30 hours on the stock fuse).The SR Black sounded a little better. So to me it's not because the stock fuse was degraded over years of use.Still, I think they are way overpriced, es... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... What a long thread ! But not as bad as cable argument threads.I just tried a Synergistic Black fuse in the custom power supply for a MAC Mini. The P.S. is made by Mojo Audio, the fuse is 2 amp slo-blo.I gave the Black fuse about 3 days inside the ... | |
| Synergistic Research Powercell 12UEF Darknightdk, I have the 10 with upgraded SR power cord, and have compared it to the PS Audio Premier and P-300 with mods. I much prefer the SR Powercell to the regenerators on any source component with analog out (DACs, CD players etc.). The regen... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? I would not conclude that "all cables" don't make a difference based on a speaker cable test. In my experience, power cords and interconnects make the most difference, then speaker cables. And with speaker cables, the more plastic and rubber on th... | |
| Boomslang Digital Cable Review I just tried the Snake River Audio Boomslang AES/EBU digital cable. I installed it between a Weiss Int 202 conversion box and a Northstar Extremo DAC. Comparison was with a Wireworld Gold Starlight AES cable. Well, the Boomslang is clearly more vi... | |
| Amp ac cable connection Wow, lots of false information from some of the members. Like "all power conditioners restrict current flow", " there are only two on the market made for power amplifiers". Some of you guys need to open up your knowledge base.Any way, I have a Syn... | |
| Audio Magic Pulse Gen products The PEA seems to clean up hash from the upper range and generally make each sound more coherent.In comparison the Pulse Gens seem to make the sound more real, mainly in the midrange, and slightly more bloom. | |
| Audio Magic Pulse Gen products I've been experimenting with a battery powered PEA. It is the smallest unit of the three sizes available. So far, I like it best around AC devices such as line conditioners. I get the most effect there, so far. I have not tried it inside component... |
