| Best place to live for good quality power I wonder how the use of smart meters impacts our power source. Unlike the old analog meters, new smart meters may not provide any surge protection and send out radio signals to the provider to measure usage multiple times per day. The radio signal... | |
| Power cable from wall socket to power strip You can’t go wrong with Hubbell Hospital grade receptacles. They are built like a tank. Luckily, we have all 12 gauge Romex for every receptacle/circuit in our home with 20 amp breakers. Normally, you will find 15 amp receptacles on a 20 amp circu... | |
| Power cable from wall socket to power strip I’m not an expert but this is what Cardas states on their website. “The Nautilus features our own 4181US power outlets. Rhodium/Silver plated contact surfaces and excellent grip tension make both of these premium connectors ideal for audio applic... | |
| Power cable from wall socket to power strip I purchased a used Cardas Nautilus Power Strip a few years ago. You can pick up a used one for under 1K if you’re patient. I use a heavy 10 awg Silnote reference power cable from a heavy duty Hubble receptacle to the power strip. Silnote installed... | |
| Tube Preamp: How many tubes does it take to ................. pdspiegel provided great insight. My Conrad Johnson ET3se has a single 6922 tube. | |
| Lumin U2 vs Aurender N200 I just purchased the Lumin U2 mini. So far, I’ve been pretty impressed - replaced a Bryston. It’s definitely worth an audition. Like others, I wanted a separate streamer and the Lumin U2 was at the top of my list. That said, I don’t have as nice o... | |
| New CD Player jafant, It’s been a fantastic player. I picked it up used in mint condition over 12 years ago. I’ve read a few threads on different sites regarding the replacement of the disc assembly. Unfortunately, Sony no longer manufactures the unit. My DV s... | |
| Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming Mojo, if you’re looking for a streamer, check out Lumin and Bricasti. They both offer different models with and without DACs. Since I have an external DAC, I purchased the Lumin U2 mini a few weeks ago. This is my first Lumin product. So far, I’ve... | |
| New CD Player This is an interesting thread. Now that we have CD quality streamers and music services readily available, it’s tempting not to replace an older player. I currently have a Conrad Johnson DV-2b CD player that works perfectly. I treat it with kid gl... | |
| B&W New Diamond Series? I know this is an old thread but I’m in a bit of a quandary. I currently have a pair of 705 s2’s. I have an opportunity to purchase a used pair of 805 D3’s in mint condition locally. Unfortunately, I can’t run an A/B comparison. I’ve heard the D3’... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 Enjoy the Hegel! They are highly regarded. I will add it to my bucket list to demo in the future. Right now, I'm just enjoying my new Lumin U2 mini. | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 I appreciate the welcome. I’m a real person and definitely not a shill as implied previously. You’re probably correct. You may now more about DACs than a lot of people, including myself. Since that was my first post, I didn’t elaborate. Generally ... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 Thank you for the follow up pindac. I sincerely appreciate the insight. I’m confident that no one in this group condones condescending or rude behavior. I’m definitely not a vendor or someone trying to dump a used Amber 3. The Amber 4 is the newes... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 No problems with the internet on my end. I understand questioning a new users recommendation or just blowing it off. However, being rude or condescending is a bit much - the first response. I’ve used the internet extensively for a very long time -... | |
| New DACs High End Munich 2023 I totally get not wanting tubes in your DAC or tube equipment. I spoke with a lot of CJ guys before demoing and purchasing the Lampizator. It pairs well with my CJ equipment. I’m the opposite. I have tubes in everything except the streamer. Yes, e... |
