| Dedicated AC Power Line vs. Power Conditioner? 2k95aero,I had assumed you meant lines from your box and not a new service drop. In any case, there are some pretty good deals on used Hydra's out there and, depending upon how many outlets you need, it might actually be cheaper to upgrade your pc... | |
| PS Audio Perfect Wave DAC T?aS just reviewed the PW MKII DAC in the September 2012 issue. Here's the bottom line:"The DAC II is an outstanding buy, even at $3,995, and is one of the most musical front ends available at any price." Anthony H. Cordesman, The Absolute Sound | |
| SB Touch to Metrum Octave: toslink, coax RCA, BNC? My vote is for a good coax...never heard a toslink beat a coax of equal quality. Depending on your budget, I've had good experience with the following in descending order of quality: Shunyata Python digital, Shunyata Cobra digital, Moray James dig... | |
| Dedicated AC Power Line vs. Power Conditioner? The resulting loss of noise from isolating your audio system from other lines is well worth the relatively minor expense if you have a fairly resolving system. The "versus" part of your system sets a bit of a false dichotomy IMHO. It's not a matte... | |
| Conrard-Johnson CT5 tube rolling? Pradeep,Sorry the new tubes weren't a bigger bang for you, but at least you now know you're cooking with a full tank of gas. I agree that the damping rings are a must. | |
| Class D amps Thanks Hifial. My email is vhiner@hotmail.com. | |
| Class D amps Anyone know if there's a veteran tweaker interested in getting paid to build one of these beauties for a non-DYI'er? ;-) | |
| Conrard-Johnson CT5 tube rolling? Pradeep,Look forward to hearing your impressions!Vance | |
| Conrard-Johnson CT5 tube rolling? Pradeep,I buy directly from CJ because they stand behind their tubes and test them rigorously. Put'em on your holiday wish list...I think you'll like what you hear!Cheers,Vance | |
| Conrard-Johnson CT5 tube rolling? Sunnyboy1956,I'm tempted to just say, "Yup!" LOL. Ed, the very model of modern major tech guy at conrad-johnson, has told me several times that the tubes will operate well into the 3,000 hour range but that the sonic degradation at that point wil... | |
| Conrard-Johnson CT5 tube rolling? Polyglot,Congrats on the CT5! It's a marvelous preamp. I bet you got an amazing deal now that the ET 5 is out. I decided to stick with CJ's supplied Sovtek tubes because the majority of posts I've read around the forums and boards indicate the exp... | |
| Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables... Guy1,I have *not* heard the Python Zitron...but those who have tell me the Anaconda beats it by a considerable margin, at least when it is applied to amps and power conditioners to the wall. I've decided I have to have one for my Triton. Thanks fo... | |
| Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables... Ok, the Anaconda Zitron power cord finally finished cooking on my Classe' Delta 2200 amplifier.Finally, on day 10 everything came together. The sibilance, harshness and brightness I began to hear on day 5 are gone and now I have the best PC I've e... | |
| Upgrading Fuses Lacee,Good decisions *do* tend to have a cummulative effect. Like you, I tend to stick with what works and repeat it...until something better comes along. The nano fuses scare me a bit, what with the liquid and all....but I'm eager to hear from so... | |
| Shunyata ztron power vs cx cables... Jfrech,Would you mind sharing what amps you're using and whether they go straight to the wall or through a conditioner? My Anaconda Zitron is going straight from my Classe' Delta 2200 to a dedicated 20 amp line. I still have a few days of burn in ... |
