Power cords known to produce good bass
Triodes Wire Labs, absolutely : Lots of bass and midrange bass. You may feel like you lose detail slightly in the top end for the first few hours. After a few days, the cymbals and the vocals breath come back and may even become even more defined.... 
My Impossible hum issue.
If your telecommunication provider is coax cable based, this 4k compatible filter and available at Amazon.ca, could be the end of your nightmare.Works perfectly for me :  Isolation Transformer / Ground Loop Isolator https://a.co/d/dAvbDC1  
What is your experience with amp power?
My 45w Primaluna EVO 400i and my 35w Pathos TT Anniversary sound so much better than any HP amp I've tried on my Focal Scalla Utopia. For instance, they have more bass, more punch and more control than my 333w / ch Bryston 6BSST2, which ended up i... 
Nordost Power Cords - Versions and Combinations
My friend had the Frey2. I only tried it on his system, but on the same source I own: a Lumin X1. He ended up selling it to buy and a Tyr2 he preferred. From experience, I presume that it isn't as dynamic as the Brahma, but I think the price is fa... 
Nordost Power Cords - Versions and Combinations
I feed most of my digital sources with Nordost first versions and I highly recommend Brahma PC: Wonderful mid bass, very articulate, detailed top end and very, very dynamic. Never shrill or garish. That said, Valhalla V1 is also absolutely excepti... 
Nordost Power Cords - Versions and Combinations
Thank you for sharing your experiences and information and for continuing to do so. I realize that I am not the only one to keep the door open to old models.  And I agree that it’s all room and system dependent, although in my case the same const... 
PC for LUMIN X1 ! .... Shunyata? Nordost? Synergistic Research? AQ?
If you like particular brands characteristics, why not trying certain combinations with other sections in your system? The results can be very impressive. All my sources are powered by Nordost Valhallas in my systems (D1, DAC and X1) because of th... 
Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96
I've audition many Haberth in my life. Their presentation are generally more homogeneous. My o 96 are positioned close to the wall but silver power cables and silver interconnects as well as basstrap allows me to control the bass with ease. I use ... 
... WHAT POWER CORD(S) ARE PLAYING IN YOU SYSTEM TODAY?
Power cords and interconnects have the biggest impact, a real effect on the punch, compression, imaging. They have different degrees in term of enveloppment feel. Nordost, for digital, are fabulous. Valhalla v1 is very airy, detailed but very natu... 
Streamer choices
Lumin D2 (streamer with DAC) 👌 
What is the best BNC Digital Cable under $4,000?
BNC, the thing that doesn't go further than 192khz? ;) 
A DAC that can make digital sound analog?
My Lumin D1 is paired with Devore Orangutan speakers and my X1 with Focal Scalas. They both aren't fatiguing at all. Their strengths are articulated mid range and 3D imaging: Voices and snares are precisely 3D centered, wich my Chord 2Qute DAC can... 
A DAC that can make digital sound analog?
I own the Lumin D1 and X1 streamers with DAC. Both produce the ultimate analog sound, especially with tube amps. Increase the analog texture with an optical network bridge (duplex optic cord - I hate metal digital cables) 
Why so many wilson alexias for sale
They sound cheap with their "U" eq signature (I prefer my Focal Scala Utopia and my Devore 96:) :| 
The big DAC decision
I own the X1 since July 2018. I can say that this is a streamer that you can't only appreciate in terms of timbre and speed, but also for the image and soundstage. The aeration between instruments, the stereophony and the resolution make the liste...
