| Chord Dave and lInear power supply I recorded this music with Pap C1 active crossover last night. It sounds very lively and transparent. if I use Accuphase F25, it sounds relaxed with slight loss of transparency. I am taking turns between two different crossove... | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply @rshad0000 It is good to hear your positive experience. With three Farad power supplies, it is difficult to use expensive PCs. But I found that even modestly priced PC make some improvement. With more speed and clarity, the overal... | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply Had anyone installed Farad to your Dave? If so, please chime in your impression. As 5 weeks after initial installation, it is the best 3k$ spent on my digital system. Dave + (with Farad) sounds fuller with vivid sound. Thomas | |
| So, I listened to a $1Million Dollar System When I attended Pacicifc Audio Fest 2022, two big 1 M$ systems Genesis and Gebel sounds fine while Accaphela sounds fall short of optimal. I do not intend to denigrate Accaphela which still sound decent and dynamic. The point is that it is... | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply @nkj I had tried isolation transformer on Dave. It improved the sound significantly. But with it, I hear some ground hum since they are not grounded in the same earth. Thus I stopped using isolation transformer on Dave. best ... | |
| LSA VT-70 Nice review | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply I am using Aurender N30 as source. After happy home audition of N20, I pulled for N30 instead. N20 is the best bang for the money. But N30 give slightly better details and overall balance than N20. Thomas | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply After 4 weeks of burn in, Dave with Farad three power supplies, sounds more detailed and powerful but without slight sibilance which bothered me before. I am happy with this mod and trying some power cables on three power supplies. Althoug... | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply @rshad0000 You wont regret your decision. I used to use Margules tube pre after Dave to tame slightly thin sound. https://margules.com/en/sf-220-30th/ But after having Farad power supplies, I can do without tube pre although I sti... | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply @nkj I fully agree with your impression. By the way linear supplies are also sensitive to power cables. Thomas | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply @nkj Congratulation! Please let me know how much improvement Syner Purple fuses have on Dave. best Thomas | |
| Chord Dave and lInear power supply I bought a regular package since I can upgrade fuse later. I found shortcoming of Dave and Mscaler when I compared it with ideon Absolute side by side at home. Dave gave some sibilance and less decay than Ideon. I do not have Absolute ... | |

| Chord Dave and lInear power supply @lalitk I had been using Synergistic blue cable which made large improvement over stock cable. But Farad power supply made much more improvement than Synergistic blue cable Thomas | |
| Upsampling, Can there be too much? I have no problem with Aurender N30 upsampling with Mscaler. It seems that Macaler get less burden. It help to have linear power supply with Mscaler in additionn to Dave. Thomas |
