| Clipping with Separates with change of Power Conditioner[?] There will be serious design & parts compromises when power conditioning and surge protection are combined in one box - at a low price. Too good to be true. Return the W-Audio if you can. Buy a quality, pre-owned, non-current limiting, power c... | |
| 15 amp circuit VS. 20 amp Circuit The old-fashioned way would be to look up how much amperage is used for each component and then add up the total. The specs should be in the owner’s manual and/or the back plate. The amperage will increase for the amps during playback - so select ... | |

| Dayton Audio SA 1000 subwoofer amp - repair @brunomarcs My SA1000 didn’t shut down. It remained on with a high-pitched hum. Take the cover off and check for bad caps. Either leaking or swollen. Though the cap in the C6 position looked fine, replacing it fixed the problem. Good luck! | |
| Isolation transformer question lloydc You need to know that isolation transformers hum. Mine don’t. If there’s a hum, that most likely indicates that there’s a gremlin somewhere else in the circuitry. Possibly a grounding issue. Yet, poorly made transformers can hum -... | |

| Snake River Audio Power Cables - Best Unboxing Yes, Jonny @Snake River Audio runs a class operation. I bought my first of many SRA cables from him in 2017. In my system, the Cottonmouth Gold power cord works great with digital components - adding solidity and weight. Currently, one is powering... | |

| Battle of the Older DAC @jond +1 These observations by Vlad, of Audio Mirror, make much sense. OP: No DAC, by itself, is a silver bullet to fantastic SQ. It takes a system. And a system takes time to build. Stay within your budget. Take your time. And no - streaming i... | |
| Use of Denafrips Iris 12th DDC with computer Many years ago, I started streaming Tidal with a dedicated laptop. Besides the laptop itself being tricked out, it also had Fidelizer Pro software*, a USBe Perfect, a dedicated LPS - with a custom DIY umbilical cord, a dedicated power conditioner,... | |
| Transparent Audio power cords OP: Great system! I suspect that it already sounds pretty amazing. My initial suggestion would be to experiment by removing one (or more) of the Add--Powr resonators. Wait several hours and re-evaluate. In my experience, the Add-Powr ElectraClea... | |
| Transparent Audio power cords My Frankenstereo has several of the original TA Powerlink MM's feeding TA PIMM’s. From one PIMM, a Purist Audio Contego power cord is feeding my Class A SS amp. Theoretically, one would think that those two power cords in series - along with Class... | |
| Which External Linear PSU Upgrade for my Router? Fidelizer Audio Nikola LPS. I own their Airstream - used as an access point after my Nighthawk. I also have 3 of these - along with multiple tweaks for cleaning power. A router puts a high demand on an LPS - especially for streaming movies and ga... | |
| Next step up on the streaming food chain? +1 @kennymacc Most likely, a better streamer would help achieve your goals. If budget is a concern, have you considered a DDC - such as one of these with a trial period. This approach would keep the Lightning DS interface. I’m also a fan of OCC ... | |
| End of a long quest to vanquish sibilance. @sls883 +1 I replaced my front coffee table with an end table by the side of my chair. Whatever works. 🤔 |
