| Would you sell for cash? Sure, I'll take cash, actually prefer it. I always do in person deals at my workplace. If worried about counterfeit money, take photos of transaction, including buyer, numbers on bills. Get more than one item of proof of identity, and take photos ... | |
| UPS vs LPS I understand UPS for backup power only, per above AC>DC>AC=inverter issues= sq issues. True battery power, AC>DC off battery supply specifically designed for that particular piece of equipment. I had NEW (Nirvana Electronic Works) DCA 66 ... | |
| 2019 300B tubes that are worth the money? I've been desiring 300B upgrade for going on year, unable to decide due to observations of costs and benefits for each and every variant. Finally threw the dart and came up with Psvane Acme, thus far so superior to prior Shuguang Black Treasure re... | |
| Why is NASCAR suddenly topping the charts? I was Nascar fan for many years, I put up with the confederate flags and bill hillys as perceived them as left over sentiment from the lost cause. I now observe I was quite incorrect on this, the lost cause is part and parcel of Nascar, inherent t... | |
| UPS vs LPS I mentioned this in other posts. I run some equipment off lithium ion power supply, the inverter is indeed noise and affects sq. The LPS can be run off the UPS, which I do, the sound quality still impacted by inverter. I assume audiophile UPS ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC To take advantage of fiber 006 would have to be streamer of course, not sure all dac manufacturers have engineering prowess to create streamer dac. Another good thing would be to have all network devices have own internal linear power supply. When... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @arafiq You're correct, mixing up my SOTM SMS200 Neo. @yyzsantabarbara Yes indeed. I suspect audiophile fiber enabled network devices on way soon, I see present devices as consumable items, audiophile network innovations coming fast and furious... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Fiber conversion post server is certainly up there in effectiveness. Other galvanic isolation devices such as Uptone etherregen, Network Acoustics Neo filter, many others. I'm about to try the Neo. Always use linear power supplies with any network... | |
| DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!? I supply part of my system with lithium ion battery pack that puts out pure sine wave. Using on dac compared with AC fed from modded BPT 3.5 transformer based conditioner, I prefer feed from BPT, slightly more closed in veiled sq with batteries.... | |
| SET the best? As with all amps, power supplies are critical to best performance. My custom built 300B monoblocks each use power supply one generally sees in stereo amp. Larger, better ps equals more filtering-resolving powers, reserves of power-transient, micro... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @ja_kub_sz Cd rips don't sound any better than streams on my setup. Optimizing network makes all the difference with streams. I'm also agnostic about his res vs 16/44. I'm continually amazed by how much more information extracted with system... | |
| DISCUSSION: "It only comes out at night". Does anyone else have this experience!? Those who've mentioned snow are on to something, snow is insulator. I have crawl space under house, snow piled up around house, storms on windows down, very little traffic due to snow, no wind, night. This is the absolute very best ambient noise ... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Optimizing network likely benefits all dac, I'd expect IsoRegen to do same for 005. Even the optimized usb input of 005 benefits from usb renderers such as Sotm, UptoneUSB regen, and others. | |
| Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO... I've just been in contact with Rich, spoke with him about issues with audiophile switch I tried. Based on his input and good reviews here will be trying Eno filter in place of switch. | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Playing my 2500 cd's from rips so much better than physically searching through that muddle, only took me something like a year of off and on ripping to get all on NAS, terrible ordeal. @jc4659 I use Audioquest Diamond usb, just tape off 5v po... |
