| Digital power cord for tube amp? Well some pc like my Shunyata Python VX contain FeSi for noise reduction. Just for kicks some years ago tried on preamp, not good. I assume all digital pc would have added shielding, may result in overly damped, darkened, veiled sound quality when... | |
| Can the digital "signal" be over-laundered, unlike money? Thanks @david_ten for posting this question. I presume network clocks solely affect sound stage, imaging, perhaps resolution. Some presume my issues with the added clock in audiophile switch is due to inferior quality of said switch. So, if the c... | |
| Fuses Yep, the Duelund .01uf on crossover caps is a wonderful thing, I use the silver foil on Jupiter VT. I use same as bypass on my custom built 300B amps power supply to good effect. I've never bypassed coupling cap, never felt the need to experiment ... | |
| Post a Promotion & help a Fellow Audiophile-Here are 3 I know of I've been looking specifically for phono cartridge, so watching for sales more closely than usual. Seems this Black Friday promotions not up to prior years, very few store wide discounts, only limited products. The only high end audio store wide p... | |
| SET the best? @mozartfan Well, I did use LSD back in the day, quite likely Owsley's creation, also did shrooms more frequently. Exclusive use of SET's these days, both 845 and 300B, I do still listen to psychedelic music periodically, add flashbacks, that make... | |
| Jantzen Wax Coil or Mundorf M-Coil CFC Timely posts for me! I purchased both Jantzen Litz wire wax and Jantzen solid wire inductors some time ago as final mods for my Klipschorn crossovers. Can't recall exactly why I purchased both solid wire and litz wax wire, seems I remember somethi... | |
| Any Brands You “Hate” because of a bad dealer experience many years ago? Kaw MkIII will always hold memory of guy in high school parking lot doing wheelie, lost control crashed into car. Those bikes had far more engine than chassis could handle. As far as bad dealer experience, I've had those but never associated ... | |
| So much music that we never hear! Commercial radio been dead for decades as far as I'm concerned. Student University stations can have great programming at times. Public radio stations seem to be going more and more to talk. Streaming is where its at, you can be your own radio... | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? One other thing. Subjectivity fits my needs as a curious person, experiential learning works best for me. I don't like biblical cannons feeding me the truth. | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? The objectivist has internal belief system that regulates audio equipment evaluations, It doesn't matter that nearly every audio system is bespoke, likely totally unique assemblage of equipment, room, ears/brain etc. I accept I can't know the qua... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC All inputs on all dacs converted to I2S, I2S protocol is inherent to all dacs. The supposed advantage of I2S conversion prior to dac is to bypass this conversion process within dac, some claim bypassing that conversion within lends itself to sound... | |

| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @wharfy I prefer slow L, I for one would be interested in your impressions of Singxer and I2S into 005. I have Singxer SU-6, haven't tried yet since usb sound quality has been so enjoyable. If you reported positive results I'd be motivated to try ... | |
| Ethernet Clocking @antigrunge2 Well, cheap clock, relative thing. I observe many claim positive results with similarly priced clocks. Whatever, I'm perfectly content with my present network setup, no more switches for me. | |
| SET the best? Can't put in one basket. 845 300B, 2a3, and then added variable of loudspeaker. Find the right combo, experience live performers in room every listening session. |
