| Phono Stage Hum Kimbers are not shielded. Your diagnosis using shielded cables tells you what you need to know. | |
| RIP: Doc Watson I am glad I got to see him play with Tony Trischka in a neat old theatre in Philly last year. Saw him many times at Merlefest. Highlights were seeing him play free at the July 4 Firefly Festival in Foscoe NC in the mid 90s and at the Love Auditori... | |
| Relocating power transformer in PS Audio GCPH Thanks and yes, I'd love to see the pics. | |
| Relocating power transformer in PS Audio GCPH Sorry, correct pm is jswanson76109 at hotmail. | |
| Relocating power transformer in PS Audio GCPH Dhl, This is a really intriguing mod. We talked about our experiences with the GCPH on the earlier thread a couple weeks back. My own stock unit is sounding really good right now after getting the rest of my front end dialed in just right. I'd lik... | |
| Something comparable to VSA VR-1s Tell us more about your equipment, music you'd listen to, room size, etc. Do you want floor standers as an option or stick w/ a stand mount monitor like the VR1? I have these for a second system and really like them as a good value in the under 10... | |
| Best beer Now a word from Tejas. Gotta put my vote out for Shiner Bock. Other good Texas beers include St. Arnold's in Houston, with a wonderful Brown Ale and a good summer beer--Lawnmower. Just don't drink and mow. I also agree with the many selections abo... | |
| Squeezebox Touch simple 24/192 output mod Ozzy, I guess the success of the mod depends on the interaction among all the components in the chain. You are using the Cary DAC in your 306 player? I see you have been trying different digital cables and are using a silver Morrow cable. Any chan... | |
| As file resolution goes up sound level goes down? Maybe get a DAC with adjustable gain or higher output? Or, a pre with more gain? Or, would a step up transformer help increase output between your DAC and pre? My Bel Canto DAC3 puts out 4.5 v via XLR, so I get plenty of gain no matter the source. | |
| Squeezebox Touch simple 24/192 output mod Kenny,I'd also like to see the link that you reference. What DAC are you using? | |
| As file resolution goes up sound level goes down? I have noticed this too. I think it is because these files use much greater dynamic range. They are not as compressed as standard redbook files or CDs that you are used to listening too, where the overall level is mastered higher and closer to cli... | |
| How many Logitech Duets on one system Hard to say until you try it. I really don't know the limitations on the units. I currently run two and have an extra for another system that is not set up and have not run three at a time. It boils down to how many you would be running at any one... | |
| Squeezebox Touch simple 24/192 output mod I'd like to know everyone's thoughts on any overall changes to sound quality, even for redbook files, on the modded Touch vs. the previous standard output. Glad this is working for everyone. It's really an ingenious bit of coding. Apparently the d... | |
| Squeezebox Touch simple 24/192 output mod Thanks for the link to the test file, Audiojedi. My DAC played it but with skips which confirms that my DAC3 won't play 192 without an oscillator upgrade, which I am now seriously considering. Glad your mod worked for you! How do you like the Metr... | |
| Squeezebox Touch simple 24/192 output mod I just did an a/b comparison using Diana Krall Live in Paris comparing the Squeezebox with mods feeding ripped redbook FLAC vs. my BelCanto CD1 into AES/EBU transport using the same CD (used to rip the FLAC files into the SB) and I actually think ... |
