| Why are there no high end cheater plugs? Rex, I am not asking you to ignore this. He basically tells you to live with the problems of ground loops. He ignores the fact that many component have no ground connection. And he ignore that many home presently lack three wire electrical supplie... | |
| Why are there no high end cheater plugs? Carl109, if I thought there was such a risk, I would not do it. This is an urban myth. | |
| Tube CD-player question Itsalldark and Dehanm, the Einstein Last Record Player is to be replaced.Russb, I would strongly recommend the Exemplar/Denon 3910, especially with the post-dac filter parts swapout. | |
| Why are there no high end cheater plugs? Dazzdax, I cannot tell you relative to being totally floating, but a system having only one ground, removes multiple routes to ground. One way is through the interconnects and the other is through the ground pin on the ac cord. While I did not hav... | |
| Why are there no high end cheater plugs? Jafox, I did look into the Accustic Arts dac and Drive One to see about that. It would be easy on the transport and very hard to get to on the dac. Meanwhile, I continue to use the cheaters I made. There is another way also. The Dream Powers do no... | |
| Why are there no high end cheater plugs? Guys, I tried floating everything. That was the easiest thing to do and some have long recommended it. But I found the grounded preamp superior, and you do not have to worry about statistic charge buildup especially in the winter. I must say, howe... | |
| Why are there no high end cheater plugs? Undertow, as I told Porter, one cannot get inside the plugs on Stealth Dream cables. They are glued on. | |
| Why are there no high end cheater plugs? Al, yes another problem. The Stealth Dream power cords that I am using have terminations that cannot be opened. They are glued on. Twarted at every turn save cheater plugs. | |
| Why are there no high end cheater plugs? Tvad, I am ahead of you. I have three types of cheaters. Mine with the use of AudioTop on all sound best. The cheap grey ones sound worse. Also, I tried a cheater on a cord that did not have a ground wire. It was far superior with the cheater off.... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Theaudiotweak, knowing what little I do about tube circuits, I think the answer is yes. I guess this most true for a tube where many manufacturers made it, such as the 6SN7, or where there are many close substitutes, such as the 6DJ8. As the old a... | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Enjoy what you have, I guess. | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century I posted this on the H-Cat thread.Fiddler, why the extensive and irrelevant quoting. I find only defensive and substantially illogical arguments in your posting as to why you will not bother to try the unit. Frankly, my dear (sir) I don't give a d... | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? Clio09, thanks. I wish I had noticed it in this suite. I will certainly seek it out this coming Oct., if I don't get to hear it earlier. | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? Kana813, yes I know the Behold is digital up to the amps. It is in the Behold suite only where I have heard the MP. Unfortunately, I miss the MP in the Virtual Dynamic suite at the last RMAF.Clio09, how did the MP compare with the moded Wadia?Biga... | |
| What is new with the Memory Player? He did do a rave review and did comparisons with pro equipment. I don't know what dac he used, however, as none is mentioned. He interested me in this unit as did hearing it in the Behold suites. |
