| Custom designed pool theater system Switch channels and see if the issue follows the change or not. If it does, hook the further speakers to the shorter cable and see if that fixes it. If it does, your amp doesn’t have the juice to power the speakers with 200’ of cable, which I’m ... | |
| Alternate to Benchmark Dac 1? I see that is an R2R dac. I have heard they have different kind of sound. Have you heard the Musician Draco?Well, you said you were looking for something different and with some warmth or character. To me, the DAC 1 is the extreme embodiment of th... | |

| So how much do you think the placebo effect impacts our listening preferences? Anyone who does not believe in the placebo effect is fooling himself.Ha! Priceless.

| GaN based amplifier made in the USA from Class-D Audio USA @dwmaggie — how many hours do you have on the Mini GaN 5? Can you update with any changes as it breaks in further? | |
| Rotel RA-1592 MK II or something else to deliver around 200W to B&W towers around $3000? There’s a Hegel H300 here now for $3k that’d be very worth considering.

Back in the day McCormack and Thiel showed together frequently, and I used a BP-6 with a DNA-0.5 (Rev A) with CS1.6es and it was an excellent mat... | |

| does any r2r ladder dac have standby power mode? hey soix , if you do not have anything nice to say then say nothing and mind your own stereo!! Okey dokey. I’ll just put myself in standby mode. | |
| Help look for second amp The most boundless soundstage my system produced was when I demoed a Liberty Audio B2B-100 in high-bias mode. Veils lifted, clear window, straight wire with gain, etc. — they all apply as this is the most transparent and open-sounding amp I’ve he... |
