| I have question about frequency response and power issues When you say the M1s are rated at 250w, that's almost certainly the supposed maximum that they can handle, not the range that they're comfortable with. Agree with previous posters. Also, all about input and output impedances, and matches between... | |
| Tube Question +1. Almost certainly transformer. Do you hear the hum when you're close to the unit, through the speakers, or both? Any which way, transformer. Could be DC on the line, could be ground loop, could be a transformer that hums. (Other manufactur... | |
| Is Agon becoming the eBay of audio? Isn't there a 10/10 rating as well as "New"? | |
| New or Old CD Player? Disk drives and laser heads wear out. Some can be replaced, some not. It makes absolute sense to get a newer or a new unit. Used Sim 750 and 650, plus Mohican, Bryston BCD-3 and now Primare CD35 would all be on my radar. | |

| Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 Opinions? I auditioned them a few years ago and honestly didn't like them too much. Initially--i.e. for the first few minutes--they can sound very impressive. My skeptical nature makes me wonder if they're engineering that way. But the more I listened, th... | |
| Transport Pioneer PD-65, or another Pioneer model where you also insert the disc "upside down". | |
| What 4K blu ray player to buy. 203s and 205s are still available.Failing that Sony ES UBP-X1000ES; there are also Yamaha and Cambridge Audio players in the same price bracket. | |
| Oppo Ceasing production When you look at the pittance you need to spend to get a reasonably competent BR player from Sony or similar, perhaps it's explicable that they weren't getting sufficient market share. But it's still a sad day. They were diversifying, etc. Unti... | |
| PS Audio Power Plants Sigmas EVO3.BTW, it's definitely, absolutely not either DC on the line or a ground loop. I've also had every breaker in the house turned off save the one controlling the receptacle the CMII was plugged into. Rogue asked about the sensitivity of ... | |
| Amp pairing for Proac Studio 3’s Depending on budget, Belles Aria, or the forthcoming Virtuoso. | |
| PC or Line Conditioner OP: the "current" P10 and P5 units are discontinued. They will very soon be replaced by new, "better" and more expensive units. Any dealerships with brand-new P10s or P5s should be selling them at a significant discount. So 3.5K is only the ori... | |
| max length of toslink or coaxial digital cable without signal degradation? OK, so three posters and four answers. Isn't the internet great!-optical-HDMI-XLR-coaxBack of the Oppo unit. I don't see XLR.https://www.oppodigital.com/blu-ray-udp-203/blu-ray-udp-203-Images.aspx As for HDMI, Google tells me inputs are rare on ... | |
| PS Audio Power Plants @hifiman5 Well, there’s another part to this story. I ordered the P5 a couple of months ago, directly from PS Audio. There was a delay of a few weeks before it was shipped. While I was waiting, I stumbled over the fact that the P10 and P5 were bei... | |
| PS Audio Power Plants I tried out a P5. On the Sinewave setting, it actually added a low-level whine (a little higher in pitch than a hum) to what you could already hear from the speakers when no music/ear by drivers. Multiwave 1-6 progressively reduced it, till it w... |
