| Playback Designs MPS-5 - Measerments v. Sound I have the updated board install for a few days now.Temperature may have dropped a bit but the unit is still quite warm to the touch. So far, I would say the sound is more open with better clarity. The bass has better definition but perhaps a bit ... | |
| Alternative to Synergistic Research Hologram A Have you checked cable company special deal on SR Halogram?I guess since SR is launching new power cord soon so now you can get SR Halogram A at 40% off. Would that still be in your budget? | |
| VPI Aries and Tesla Apex cables create a buzz I assume you used Tesla Apex as phono cable from Aries to phono pre when you got the buzz. Active shielding circuit probably cause that. SR does not recommend its active shielding cable for phono as current going through active shielding circuit i... | |
| Playback Designs MPS-5 - Measerments v. Sound I just got my upgrade power supply board. I should have it installed next week while I am away. Will report once I get my PD back with new power supply. | |
| Playback Designs vs. Berkeley Jonathan, thanks for the information. Another quick question, is there already a firmware upgrade or something that would let the current PLayback support 384 kHz USB input available or is it only a working prototype that will be incorporated in t... | |
| Playback Designs vs. Berkeley Tab110sUsually I set Berkeley DAC volume at 55 and use ASR volume control. I also tried setting ASR volume at 51 which according to ASR is a neutral position where there is no active gain and use Berkeley volume control. However, Berkeley gain is ... | |
| Playback Designs vs. Berkeley I switched from Berkeley to PD MPS-5 earlier this year. First, I think Berkeley is an excellent unit and for the price, it is hard to beat and it was significantly better than my old DAC Esoteric D-05. Also, I supposed I never used it to its full ... | |
| Pass Labs Xono vs. Aesthetix Rhea Also consider your pre amp. My understanding is that Aesthetix has rather highish output impedance (true of most tube phono) and it does not like solid state preamp very much ( at least those with 10k input impedance like Spectral, ASR etc). I rec... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? Joe, I am leaving my PD and amp on in energy saving mode when not using it so hopefully it won't take too long to burn them in properly. So far, I am very please. It would have been nice to add Halogram A then D one cable at a time to see the effe... | |
| Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments? well, for what it's worth, today, I just received 2x Halogram A to go on my ASR Basis Exclusive II amp and a Halogram D to go on my Playback MPS-5. Previously I have T3 on both the amp and Playback. So far everything sounds very promising. The bas... | |
| Synergistic R Hologram D powercord I am in the process of upgrading my T3 to Halogram D as well. Now I am just waiting for cable company to ship me the cable. Now is a good time as cable company is having sale on all of their SR power cords in stock. Before this, I tried Stealth Dr... | |
| VPI Classic Actusreus, awhile ago TTweight was offering copper mat for VPI Classic along with it free 1 lb center weight as a package here on agon. I no longer see that offer on agon or on their site any more. I never used VPI clamp as I ordered my Classic wi... | |
| VPI Classic Hmmm, I am a bit suspicious of claiming the platter as the culprit. If it is the platter, I assume you would hear the ringing without the copper ring as well, right? More likely to be either the fault of the ring itself or interaction between the ... | |
| Looking for SUT for Air Tight PC-1 supreme Thanks for all the comment. I am curious about B ob's Devices. The cinemag certainly has quite a bit of press lately but I am wondering if the Sowter might be a bit more flexible.Cinemag has either 1:16 or 1:30 with reflective loading of 184 ohms ... | |
| Looking for SUT for Air Tight PC-1 supreme Thanks, I will check out both Bob's Devices and EMIA.What I am confused about is that my PC-1 Supreme, not PC-1,is 0.4mV and internal impedance of 1 ohm. Recommended loading I believe is between 100-800ohms. I suppose, anything from 1:10 to under ... |
