| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? Oops - that should have been...- the Vlink192 has a split USB cable - one side power one side signal with a stable external power supply and a Helix MK V Digital SPDIF into the BifrostSorry about that :-) | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? Todd - if you follow the parts identified on the site I think(hope) you will be pleasantly surprised - but allow the prescribed burn-in. The power cables aren't too bad at 60-80 hours, but the IC's take 300-400 hours before they sound their best -... | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? Based on your experience, do you think that would be worthwhile with the BL-1? Re Let's put it this way - the Copper Harmony will allow the BL-1 to perform to it's fullest potential.They are also the easiest RCA's I've ever had to connect to a ... | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? itsikhefez - re: the mains connectors - I've tried a few of those as well and the Silver plated copper connectors from Sonar Quest provided exceptional performance. The silver plating is quite thick and I am yet to see the copper after many conn... | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? itsikhefez - Really? - using the BL-1 with the Furutech FP126 was one of my earlier cables also (LOL)The first RCA I used that was not of the "normal design" was the original Eichmann Silver bullet, which I added to a pair of Stager Silver Solids... | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? FYI - the prices/costs mentioned above are what the parts will cost you to DIYI do not build cables for other people - it’s strictly DIYApologies for any confusion | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? Since itsikhefez and Erik_Squires both appear to be quite comfortable with DIY projects, I thought I’d share the links to the interconnect and power cables that I now use throughout my system.http://image99.net/blog/files/4127b5fe2694586e383104364... | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? Re: the c7 connectors lack of ground, connect the ground lead at the mains plug only and cut it short at the c7 end.It provides a little floating shield effect.Regards | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? For components that do not have a ground pin the following approach can be used1. using the continuity test option on a multi-meter, determine if the neutral side of the RCA socket is connected to the case2. if the RCA neutral is "grounded" to the... | |
| Anybody here terminate DH Labs BL-1 cable? I’ve experimented extensively with the"floating shield" architecture that Erik describes, also using the BL1 and agree, but with one little modification, if the source does not have a ground pin on the power cable, I attach the end connecting neut... | |
| Questioning the need for a DAC Whitesix, discerning a difference between two components is something I also found to be very difficult in the beginning..It wasn't until I got into reviewing some high priced cables/RCA's for the manufacturer and devoting a lot of time to what I ... | |
| Questioning the need for a DAC Spencer, if you know where to look there is plenty of vinyl, especially around the Queen/University-Spadina area.One of the nicest stores for previously enjoyed albums is called Around Again (nice play on words). Most of their stuff is top notch a... | |
| Questioning the need for a DAC Whitestix - FYI - over the last 4 years I have found that IC's and PC's can degrade or enhance the performance of any component.Trying to perform a comparison of two components connected with different IC's and PC's can result in an inaccurate as... | |
| Questioning the need for a DAC Spencer - where do you live ? I'll be right over :-)Anywhere near Toronto, Canada?Kidding aside - given the opportunity, I'm always willing to get together with other Audio enthusiasts to "compare notes"There are so many different things to try a... | |
| Questioning the need for a DAC Spencer...Was I wrong to conclude that the USB implementation of the V-Link192 is superior to the that of the Bofrost/Gungnir? Yes, wrong conclusion. The proper conclusion is that the V-Link 192 & coax cable allows the DAC to receive better/qu... |
