What is new with the Memory Player?
Rx8man, right you are. I seek experiences with the Memory Player in an analog system using its internal dac. I have never heard it any way other than as the frontend of the digital Behold system. 
Why are there no high end cheater plugs?
Cyclonicman, can you please explain? I went to the website but could not find a "adaptor to allow the use of a high end cable on a cheater plug." 
How do you tell how dirty your power is?
Guys, I have seen what my ac looks like on a scope, and I have tried many, many devices that are intended to improve your power. The ultimate question is whether the device improves your sound. I worry that measures, such as that with the PS Audio... 
voltage/polarity issues with isoclean transformer
Tweakmenow, so they are balanced power transformers. I have never heard that before. 
What is new with the Memory Player?
Mtkhl567, is it your impression that he used an onboard dac? He says he did not, having only the transport version. 
voltage/polarity issues with isoclean transformer
Tweakmenow, I think Gmc is talking about on the outlets of the filter box. Your reading do show balanced operation. Is that a choice of hooking them up? 
Need list of 92db speakers and above.
I don't think you are going to be happy with 5 watts with speaker below 99 db efficiency unless you keep the volume down low or it is a very small room. I have a Reimyo PAT777 300B SET. Its 8 watts are not enough with my 93 db Acapellas. It was un... 
voltage/polarity issues with isoclean transformer
Gmc, equal voltages between ground and neutral and hot? Are you certain that the IsoClean is wired correctly. Would this not cause the circuit breaker to trip? Oh, I keep forgeting that you are talking about the filter box. I no longer have the Is... 
How do you tell how dirty your power is?
Athipaul, what confirmation is there that lights flashing on the Harvester or noises coming from the Noise Sniffer show noise on your ac line? I agree with your basic advice that if you try a device and like it, why not use it. Again, apart from a... 
Why are there no high end cheater plugs?
Albert, it is basically two diodes that only provide a ground at nearly one volt, below that there is no ground. As I would be using it, it would just provide safety, which so concerns some. It amounts to a cheater plug. 
best preamp ever - cost is no object
Foghost, Bloulder 2010 is best?? I would not have it in my system. I agree about the Connoisser being quite good, however. This August I am hoping to have my H-Cat in the same room as a Connoisser for both to settle down and do a comparison. I thi... 
voltage/polarity issues with isoclean transformer
GMC, I wonder what "interesting" readings means. I have checked the voltage which has been stable and constant across the outlets on my 80 box. Remember that it does have filters, 
How do you tell how dirty your power is?
A scope is the only way to assess the non-60 Hz information on your ac. I doubt if anyone rents them, however. Don't be too certain that ac filtering, etc. while getting rid of some of the noise will sound better. Most such devices hurt the sound ... 
Why are there no high end cheater plugs?
I am thinking about trying one of these diode devices. Until the voltage on the ground get up to nearly one volt, there is no ground.http://www.ebtechaudio.com/humxdes.html 
Why are there no high end cheater plugs?
Rex, please don't assume that I am doing this purely on a logic of my own. There is little question that having the grounds wires are a more safe condition than not having them. It also would be yet safer to have no electricity in your home. Pleas...
