| Why don't upgrade the wires and components inside our units? I've rewired every single inch of internal wiring on Klipschorns, also spec'd silver litz and diy modded in some Duelund internal wiring on my custom build 300B monoblocks. My 845 SET and pre have no wiring to replace. Obviously, I've determin... | |
| Seems like a lot of folks are putting their Primaluna amps for sale... PL is relatively high volume sales, percentages of sells to buys would give much more accurate picture. I had Dialogue Four with many diy mods, sold because I prefer my much more expensive SET amps. Still listen to this amp in nephew's system, ver... | |
| RMI/EFI remedy from Acoustic Revive Optical conversion has become my preferred isolation solution. You are correct, I have Trifield Meter, all digital components and power supply transformers give off relatively high levels of EMI/RFI, always good to eliminate as much as possible. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @kclone @melm I doubt its the balanced operation of Equi-Core as I use BPT 3.5 Signature balanced transformer based pc with my 005. I suspect you may be overloading Equi-core, likely quite a bit of inrush current when going from standby to on wit... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @turcoda It's much more than superior usb board in 005 that makes it a wonderful dac. Every aspect of 005 is well thought out, reason why it's been so positively reviewed. With 005 you won't be moving on to another dac for a long time, you can bui... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming @tksteingraber Did you try FMC set between macbook and dac with FMC set between router and macbook removed? I'd look to dedicated server vs macbook for next upgrade. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @turcoda Per above, 005 usb galvanic isolation is top flight, however, my experience is further isolation via my newly added Sonore Opticalrendu is extremely beneficial. Opticalrendu femto clocks both network input and usb output. Previously used ... | |
| Core Tech USBe Perfect I'm not criticizing these usb decrapifiers, most effective in what they offer. My contention is why should I purchase music server that costs upwards of $3k and not get optimized usb out. Many of these server guys offer their own usb decrapifiers ... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming Generic FMC without lps good start, get lps on second fmc next move, lps on first last move. Opticalrendu would be most effective if rest of streaming setup top notch, if dac is weak link replace that prior. Once all this in order Opticalrendu can... | |
| Buyer Dispute The idea that shipping caused those tweeters failure is slim to none. I doubt B&W would design a tweeter subject to this sort of failure from shipping, they'd have s whole lot of damaged tweeters to replace if this the case. And the chances of... | |
| Core Tech USBe Perfect At this point in my streaming experience I have to question the need for usb decrapifiers. Shouldn't audiophile servers and streamers have optimized usb outputs that wouldn't benefit from these added on devices. I'd expect highest performance at p... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? If one is not streaming they'll have a difficult time discovering new music today. I quit listening to mass consumption music after early 70's, only place to hear more ambitious music was the underground/freeform fm and university stations. After ... | |
| The Best Preamp is no Preamp? @ozzy62 I agree a passive can be preferable to dac only setup. My active pre is in fact dual TVC. | |
| Upsampling PCM or DSD in 2022 Don't care for converting pcm to dsd with my setup and Roon. Staying with pcm for pcm recordings most revealing and tranparent, dsd conversion sounds more like hifi, smooths things over, micro dynamics lost, sense of live performers in room dimin... | |
| It comes with a balance knob?!?! I'll take it! My pre has dual Amtrans selector switch dual transformer based volume control. I found this invaluable in extracting a stable, consistent center image that no longer requires balance adjustments. Whenever I hear off center image now know due to ... |
