| Do you listen mainly to Audiophile CDs and records? Geoffkait 11-06-2017"Now that I think about it I actually tend to avoid audiophile CDs and recordings like the plague. The only exception would probably be for testing purposes."What kind of testing do you do with a bad CD? How well they fly? 🤔 | |
| PS Audio PWT - cd transport Lowrider,I just recieved my Perfectwave DAC to go along with my PWT and my results are a little mixed. While the PWT was a healthy improvement over my Sony 9000es the DAC didn't improve my sound that much over my TEAC 501 with added W4S Remedy Re... | |
| A better lamp cord for my stereo equipment? JEABingo. I think you just hit the nail on the head. The two times I broached this topic with audio techs the excuse for not doing the conversion was they didn't want to drill/cut into the back of the unit. (We wouldn't want to drill holes in y... | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions SoundermnWell Done! Two thumbs up! And while I'm at it, I'd like to include Sabai and geoffkait to your list of childish posters. While some may say, "Just ignore posts by childish posters", it's hard to do when the back-and-forth bickering can... | |
| A better lamp cord for my stereo equipment? OK Uncle, uncle!I just had some great sucess with two cord upgrades for my Bryston amps and I thought my good, 60 year old, McIntosh C-20 preamps and a few of my old signal processors might also benefit from a cord upgrade, if there was a new t... | |

| PS Audio PWT - cd transport Initially, I'll just use a garden variety I2S HDMI cord - a Silverback 2.0 Premium. I'm not sure how much bang for the buck you get from higher quality HDMI cords, and I just wanted to get something here fast so I'm not waiting for a cord when t... | |
| PS Audio PWT - cd transport Hey Lowrider;Looks like we're on a parallel path here. I liked my new PWT so much that I threw financial caution to the wind and bought a PerfectWave II. A few more power chords and interconnects, and now I'm going to get off the improvement tra... | |
| PS Audio PWT - cd transport Hey Lowrider,Did you ever try a different fuse in the unit? If so, what size fuse did you use and did you like the results?Thanks,Toolbox | |
| PS Audio PWT - cd transport I just purchaced a PS Audio PWT and I'm wondering (after I decide if I like it) if there are any replacement parts I should think about stockpiling - just in case. These things are getting a little old and if there is a part or two that I should ... | |
| Don Sach's pre amp I don't have one of Don's preamp, but he did a repair/upgrade on one of my old McIntosh C-20 tube preamps and Don's work was superb. He fixed an ongoing problem that I had taken the C-20 in to three other shops for repair. Two of the shops were M... | |
| Appropriate Power for 1.7i's Mark,I’ve been a Maggie owner since the early 1980s. Currently, I also use 1.7s in my system. Two pair in a quad setup. I was using a pair of Adcom 5500s. (I don’t know how the one guy found them to be dull. Everybody raved about their open, airy ... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses "Funny thing, in Audiophile circles if you can hear things others cannot, you are revered...In society you are sent for treatment."They did send me in for treatment. I was prescribed Music Therapy. Vicious circle. | |
| Oldest gear still for sale is . . . That’s right gentlemen. We’re not talking T-Rex or Sabre Tooth Tiger here. They stopped making those models a long time ago. What we’re looking for is a Crocodile - was here, way back when they were making the T-Rex, and still in production today.... | |
