| The best plug in filter ever! @verafiaudio - I have an Equi=Core 1800 MKII and a Deep=Core. Would I plug the Puron in the duplex the Deep=Core is plugged in or in the open duplex in the Deep=Core? thanks | |
| iFi iPower X - hifi bargain? @alexberger - I used an SBooster with my Chord Qutest and loved it. I also upgraded the fuse with a QSA Yellow which made it sound even better. I never hooked up an ifi X with the Qutest but I’m sure it would make it sound better than the stock wa... | |
| Audioquest Niagara 1200 I wrote a post about this exact subject three or four months ago. I bought the 1200 and when I hooked up my Atoll IN300 to the it, I felt the life was sucked out of the Atoll. I plugged the Atoll into the wall and it came back. I bought an Equi=Co... | |
| iFi iPower X - hifi bargain? When I had the ifi zen, I upgraded to the X and the difference was night and day. I bought another one for my modem/router and that made another large improvement. I traded the ifi zen in for the ifi stream and the stream comes with the X. I think... | |
| Qobuz dropping rights to my favorites. A pox on their house (resubmit) @clearthinker - happy new year. | |
| Only two tracks to test your system, forever! Two songs I always use to test new equipment… Melody Gardot - if you love me Big Thief - change | |
| Does an Audioquest Niagra 1200 limit amplifier dynamics? I agree with @carlsbad regarding conditioners (at least the 1200) reduces the rapid current changes which limits the amp. I unplugged my Atoll IN300 from the 1200 and plugged it directly to the wall and my amp came alive again. I’m not saying the ... | |
| Does an Audioquest Niagra 1200 limit amplifier dynamics? I have a AQ Niagara 1200 and think it’s a nice conditioner. In my system, the 1200 makes everything sound good and I think this is due to it being over filtered. So, this is the question, do you want a conditioner that makes everything sound good ... | |
| How many people do you think have the same DAC, amplifier, and speakers This is a great question. I’m sure it’s possible someone else has a Denafrits Hermes to a Pontus ii to an Atoll IN300. But I’m pretty confident she/he doesn’t have a pair of completely refurbished (by Richard So) ADS L1590ii. These speakers are ol... | |
| New! Cerious Technologies Lumniscate cables This thread has me very intrigued. Not for the Lumniscate cables, but the Matrix line of cables. I’m currently using Cardas Cygnus RCA from my Pontus ii to my Atoll IN300 and Cardas Clear digital from a ifi Neo Stream to a Hermes ii DDC. I’m also ... | |
| Equi=Core 1000 @marco1 - I sent you a pm | |
| Equi=Core 1000 @marco1 - yes, you might want to go with the 1000 if you only need six outlets. Just remember the wattage and take it into consideration when buying. If you are leaning towards the Niagara 1200, I can give you a good price on the one I have. | |
| Equi=Core 1000 @marco1 i was able to listen to the new 1800 Friday and Saturday and if I had to describe the sound in one word, I’d use ‘revealing’. I think the 1200 has more filteration resulting in a smooth sound but with less detail. The 1800 reveals the true... | |
| Equi=Core 1000 @marco1 sorry if my post was a little confusing. I’ve had the Niagara 1200 for about a year. I ordered the Equi=Core 1000 but was sent the 1800. The 1800 that was sent to me was dropped and one of the bolts holding the transformer was busted so Wa... | |
| Equi=Core 1000 @lowrider57 so I got it last night. The shipping facility sent me the MKIII 1800 and not the 1000. I talked to Walter and we are going to work something out regarding price since it costs so much to ship it back. My first impressions are favorable... |
