| Ethernet Cables - what are you using and why? jji666, I understand the "perfect data" transimission concepts, but have you listened to two or three Ethernet cables on a resolving system. | |
| No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse? I was waiting for this question to arise about so much product churn from Synergistic Research. It was an audible improvment when I swapped my factory component fuses for Orange then Purple and then Swiss Digital Fuses. It's certainly not that SR... | |
| Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner? I have found that the common suggestions about amps and power conditoners etc. are suggestions not rules. I configure my system and then listen to it. Sounds so basic, but I haven't always done my due diligence. I did listen to my Griffon EVO plug... | |
| What the Best Dac have you heard or owned. How could you tell it was that good. This is a great question! I mention brand names to give credibility and context. I have owned a Wadia 16, then to an Oppo 205 with the modwright mod, to an entry Naim Streamer/DAC, to a DCS Bartok, to a pre-APEX DCS Vivaldi Stack, to a Lamizator P... | |
| Smaller plug-in AC Purifiers -- Shunyata, iFi, Puron...something else? What do you like? Orthomead, is the Rhodium a slug from Mark? Where are you seeing slug options? I was thinking that tuning slugs would be cheap and a lot of fun, but don't know where to buy them!!! Thank you for your comments. I can see a future thread where we sh... | |
| Smaller plug-in AC Purifiers -- Shunyata, iFi, Puron...something else? What do you like? I have added power conditioning incrementally. I find it easier to take it out of the system after it burns in to be able to hear the loss of it's effects. I Have 3 dedicated 10 gauge 20 amp circuits. I added Shunyata defenders more for protection... | |
| Transport--Used PS Audio PerfectWave or New Teac VRDS 701T???? I have read that PS Audio uses a D and M drive. Once I reserched it, I found it is a Dennon and Marantz "D & M" drive. I don't find in the reviews that the D and M drive is better than the Teac/Esoteric VRDS system. It is interesting that Teac... | |
| It's attention, not money, we should budget I agree with the original ratio given the amp gives the speakers what they need. If not, the amp becomes a bigger value than being buried in the 35% total. | |
| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results I am straight from my DAC to my amp as of 10 months ago and couldn't be happier. I tried to go straight two times before, but couldn't pull it off:) Digital components are really improving. | |
| Shocking Lampizator Service Just to put another twist on this, the problem I was having with channel imbalance came back intermitantly, so I started trying to figure it out with Lukasz again. I am embarased to report that the problem I had is/was due to a quad of tubes that ... | |
| Experiences With Costly Balanced XLR Interconnects Above $3,000 I have only one set of XLRs that go from my Horizon DAC/preamp to my Gryphon EVO amp so its been less costly to go up the product lines. I have been running a Shunyata Sigma V2 Interconnect and have on loan from my dealer an Audioquest Dragon. The... | |
| Why Streaming Service Sounds ‘Flat’ vs Tune In /Local FM /Radio Paradise Look at a used Grimm MU1 streamer. I moved up from a dCS Vivaldi Upsampler to a Grimm MU1 streamer and have had it about 2 years and still love it. There are used ones showing up now that they are building the MU1 streamer with a DAC-in-the-box. A... | |

| Why whole house surge protectors are not enough Did I miss the response to what we think about "Envionmental Potentials" as a protective technolgy? VH Audio has always seemed to be edgy, but grounded in things that work, and they carry their products. I would really love to have more protection... |
