| Recommend A New DAC Between $1000 and $2000 Great Dac no matter the price. Nos tubes takes it up another level. | |
| HT and 2 channel in same room? 1 or 2 systems? This may not be for many but it works for me. I don’t use my HT system that often so I didn’t want to spend a lot on it. I have a midfi Pioneer Elite 7.1 HT system that I added a nice tube DAC, streamer with optical and Fritz main speakers. So... | |
| A Skeptics Digital Upgrade Journey @dolfan hope they work out for you. Low risk at that price. They take some play time to be at their best. In think they work best on the lower draw components like streamer, DAC …. I am not a Rhodium fan. It is lower in conducting and its ma... | |
| The best plug in filter ever! I use these 12ga splitters. | |
| Buying Pet Peeve - Pictures Manufacturers and professional sellers of new gear need to take note on pictures. It’s even more infuriating having to search used gear to see drivers, rear inputs and internal components to a lesser degree. | |
| The best plug in filter ever! @ozzy On my system it sounds best with both the High Fidelity MC-Pro and the Puron vs either one on their own. . Quite noticeable. Extended cleaner bass, clearer highs, quieter background and increased gain. The Puron and MC Pro are both plugged... | |
| Testing for Dirty Electrical Power I bought an Entech noise analyzer and found it to be a waste. Showed basically same results wherever it was plugged into. Power conditioners, wall, wall with appliance running etc. Sold it on ebay the next day | |
| Nordost Purple Flare for GoldenEar triton One.R I like Kimberkable 12TC on my GE Tritons. No brightness here with tube gear. | |
| The best plug in filter ever! Hi Fidelity Cable’s NPS -1260 and Q45t and now Puron has taken me…and my ears are luvin’ it! Well worth the $ even for a value Midfi dude 2 1/2 years into this hobby. The black goo defies logic until you use it for yourself.🤯 | |
| A Skeptics Digital Upgrade Journey @macg19 good to hear you are having fun with trial and error. It is what makes this hobby fun for me. The power cable improved quite a bit after 60-80 hours. I bought a plug adapter off amazon and plug it into my second fridge in garage for a w... | |
| The best plug in filter ever! @Verafiaudio Ok now after taking the plug out of my HT system and trying the plug in my 2 channel system I was amazed I heard a much larger improvement in SQ. The HT system was very subtle compared to the 2 channel. I thought it would be the oppo... | |
| Took the lithium ion battery plunge Good to hear success on your system. I have a solar battery backup outlet using a quality pure sine wave inverter and 2 Agm 100WH batteries. I used a quality 14ga extension cord to my audio power conditioner. It sounded noticeably different. Cl... | |
| A Skeptics Digital Upgrade Journey @macg19 consider a fuse upgrade. I added a QSA yellow with nice improvement. If you don’t mind ordering from Aliexpress they have a fuse as good and probably better for $20 delivered. https://a.aliexpress.com/_mrGQDx8 | |
| A Skeptics Digital Upgrade Journey @erik_squires yep I threw away all the empty beer bottles, In and Out wrappers out and cleaned the grease smudges off the dials and buttons prior. Not sure but I don’t think it improved the dynamics! 🤣 | |
| A Skeptics Digital Upgrade Journey @macg19 ok this may seem crazy but I have the same DAC as you and love it. I bought this cable when I bought the DAC 1 1/2 years ago. I have since tried many power cords to see if I could upgrade the sound. I tried my VH Audio DIY flavors, Kimbe... |
