| 2023 DAC comparison: MSB Select vs dCS Vivaldi Apex vs Wadax Atlantis Reference Mike Lavigne ran the MSB Select before moving onto the Wadax and has given a full write up of it on WBF. I wouldn’t be surprised if he replies to this thread he still participates here on occasion. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling No problem williewonka, Have you tried wrapping the live wire in copper mesh before winding the neutral and ground around it with the male side grounded? would this increase capacitance or resistance effecting the dynamics. The thought of wra... | |
| Looking for a pre-amp for Accuphase A-75 I ran a Accuphase A65 with the 3800 pre for several years before coming across an Audio Research 3 and made the change. Great 3D soundstage. Love the amps just not sure on there pre,s. | |
| Accuphase E5000 vs Gryphon Diablo 300 Accuphase can rock. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Williewonka@ what’s the influence of sound by the twisted neutral and ground”does a tighter twist over the live wires increase focus, air or timber of the ac cable. Regards Steve | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling Williewonka got it, thank you. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @ williewonka, Im now thinking of making a pair of speaker cables and have a few questions. For the live wire you’re stating live wire 2 x 14 solid and neutral wire 1 x 12 stranded. Why not 2 x 14 solid and 4 x the length rather then 2.5 don’t ... | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williewonka, in your experience with crimping and soldering how much time does the soldering require to sound its best. I believe I read in one of the topics here someone mentioned 350 hr. In my experience it’s not quite that long but a couple hu... | |
| Help with V-Cap ODAM directionality in crossover Yup good idea I haven’t seen resistor placed so high before off a crossover board before is why I asked. I’ve been modifying crossover for years with great results and all the research I’ve done this is the first time I’ve seen it is why I asked. | |
| Duelund conversion to DIY Helix Geometry Cabling @williwonka. Yesterday I made a one meter power cable for my music server using 2x 14g solid core occ copper with each run in a Teflon tube slightly twisted. 1 x for each neutral and ground. Both 4 meter lengths of ground and neutral wrapped coun... | |
| Help with V-Cap ODAM directionality in crossover Question, did you upgrade your resistors to Mills and if so why are they mounted so high above the board without any support for vibration. just asking. | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System Chassis grounding the fmc to an Entreq grounding device along with any switches you have improves things further. | |
| Recapping an ARC LS-5 mkiii LS 5 mk 3 one of the all time great pre from ARC a true classic believed to be the first REF. Pre they made. I always wanted one and would buy the right one in a heart beat and would also upgrade the caps. Extremely rare to fine one for sale showi... | |
| Under my tower speakers -- Isoacoustics Gaia, other options? Wellfloat delta with Revopods are supposed to be the cats meow, lots of info and pictures over at Audioexotica. | |
| Comments on the Berkeley Alpha DAC 2 Let the dac and any digital gear have at least 48 hrs before making judgement and never turn it off under normal conditions. Once the dac has settled in then look into the filters. |
