| Copper Sleeve over IEC Ozzy, I tried this about four years ago. I gave up but have since used my meter to assess leakage. I have none. | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Theaudiotweak, right you are. I this hint from Miguel Alvarez of Tripoint. It works, but I was warned not to try this on Audio Points. | |
| Copper Sleeve over IEC What do we think is being done with the copper around the IEC? I bought a leakage meter, and found that I had none before and after I installed copper around this connection. I heard nothing either. | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Audiolabyrinth, I agree with Charles1dad, the SPs focus is on stopping vertical vibration either from below or above their technology while SS focus on getting the vibrations to the Earth and out of components. The materials in the SPs are ceramic... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Calvinj, yes, I suspect that people just thought I was delusional at best or a shill at worst. I still vividly remember my first notes using the HFC CT-1 from the dac to the preamp. I just sat there listening to something I had not heard before. T... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Calvinj, thanks for your comments. Since the LSA Statement is a highly moded version, I assume your unit has had further moding. Actually mine has also had Urushi caps put in it with a great benefit. It was fortunate for me to have it as my BMC M2... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Bill_k, as I said I have compared DOP with native DSD, and the native is better. Into the Sabre chip, the DSD goes through an entirely different part of the chip. I did listen to DOP for a long time and enjoyed it but moving the filters out well b... | |
| Best Integrated, period. Devilboy, I feel the same way about the Exemplar Exception integrated amp. Unfortunately or I believe fortunately, I have a Koda K 10 preamp and BMC M2 monoblocks and know they are clearly and not surprisingly better. But bang for the buck, the Ex... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Tboooe, I can only now use USB digital cables, but before that I could use a SPDif digital cable and still own the HFC Ct-1 Enhanced. It was strikingly superior to the other digital cables I had, including a charged Exemplar cable. HFC will probab... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Bill_k, I asked this of the pro guy who makes my music serverUSB PCM: 16...32bit; 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4, 192, 352.8, 384kHz.USB DSD: DSD64, DSD128. Is this PCM converted?He responded, "It is DOP DSD over PCM NOT NATIVE DSD Its the DRIVER is th... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Wisnon, my servet using JRiver MC19, can output in a large number for formats. Presently everything is output as double DSD in native DSD. Perhaps I misspoke as I had used the BMC only in 192/24 PCM coming from my old server. Since I'm not really ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Aplhifi, perhaps but I'm now using a music server with double DSD output from the dac. The BMC, at least cannot play this. | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Audiolabyrinth, since I have 1.5" Audio Points, I can and did just put the Ultra 5 between the platform and the amps. This was not any good. | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Not long ago a friend was in town and we were listening to music. He noticed many isolation devices sitting on my bench and asked how many isolation devices have you tried. We started getting them out. If I recall correctly, we had 24 on the floor... | |
| Stillpoints and reference-level speakers Glory, Speaking of empty words and thoughts. I, of course, deliberately misrepresented your worthless post. |
