| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Well, I can't help but have expectation bias with using Flux 50. Not only the damping properties @balja speaks of, but this will be daisy chaining power conditioning. I already have the BPT 3.5 Sig. isolation transformer, not expecting good thing... | |
| MoFi controversy @ghasley I agree in that the final product is what it is, it hasn't suddenly morphed into something it wasn't prior to this knowledge. Still, people do deserve being given this knowledge prior to purchase. I presume beyond this, any anger or d... | |
| My experience with the First Watt F7 @roxy54 I've auditioned a number of ss amps since going tube in early 2000's, always the same deficiencies you're hearing. Tube amps, specifically SET have provided the greatest sense of live performers in room. I hear it as immediacy or closeness... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement As for running components with battery supplies. I had NEW (Nirvana Electronic Works) DCA66 class a ss amp way back in 90's, early 2000's, ran off four wheelchair batteries, also have Merlin VSM-MM which has BAM that runs off 4 9V batteries. P... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement I have battery storage device I tried on various components, prefer sound from dedicated lines and transformer based power conditioner. The cheap inverters in these devices is the problem, create their own noise/distortions. I assume those built s... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC @lordmelton I have Furutech Flux 50 NCF which I use with my 845SET amp, never thought to use with 005. Have a feeling this would only make sound more analytical. Never had a thought 005 needed a lowered noise floor, incredible level of resolution ... | |
| Has this happened to you? How can it be stopped? I have previously owned and continue to own various vintage pieces. One has to replace electrolytic caps or count on luck to be able to use them. Too much work to continuously recap new vintage purchases, besides new equipment superior to much of ... | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . Why would one have desire to add eq to system if not needed, no inherent requirement audio systems have to have extra eq applied via dedicated eq. Therefore, eq would only be effective purchase for me if eq applied to each recording. If adding... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement I'd add better sound staging and imaging to @steakster list of improvements. I too use isolation transformer type of conditioning on everything with exception of amps, amps always go straight into their own dedicated 10AWG line. @laynes In th... | |
| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC Some systems don't like silver, I used to get tipped up treble in some past systems. With present setup, love silver, probably half silver, the other half copper. Once you get balance right, silver has a refinement copper can never match, copper c... | |
| Why do so many people have problems with bass? The room is key, but so is proper amp/speaker integration. I had great issues with what's known as one note bass, an overly resonant, booming bass in a couple systems some years ago. I tried to fix room with great use of tube traps, double stacked... | |
| Cheapest way to enhance SQ with digital streaming @goofyfoot I'd rather run longer optical than ethernet cable, less signal loss, optical also immune to emi/rfi, so first FMC close to modem, second close to Pi. Power at least the second with lps. | |
| Go get out your pitchforks, I’ve done a sacrilegious thing. . . I guess I don't get it, equalizing system vs equalizing the recording. I don't need to equalize my system as it's voiced to my preference, the recordings another issue entirely. I can't understand having this tool and then not using it for the... | |
| MoFi controversy Failure to disclose certain information certainly isn't telling the truth. Whether that bothers one or not is for them to decide. I'd be interested in what SPARS code on jacket states. | |
| Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality Same supply issue facing Sonore, recent discontinuation of OpticalRendu and OpticalModule, both are in process of being redesigned. Who knows when some of these unique components will be available again. |
