A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ?

As in most successful organizations/companies, the tone is set by the person to where the buck stops.  Paul McGowan answers a question sent in by audiophiles/customers every day and posts a video of it on the PS website.  It is all information based and he has the humility to admit that he is not an expert in all issues dealing with audio.  He will tell you that in his answer and where you might look for an even more informed information.

Another refreshing characteristic is that he will use as examples, instances in the past where he had it wrong and what or who enabled him to see the light on a particular issue.

“Do you hear any hiss from your speakers when no music is playing, or does the music come from a pitch black background as they say ?”

Pitch Black no hiss not even a hint. No hiss even with one ear stuck right over the tweeter. Up until I got my new speakers and active amp I would have told folks that a slight hiss with one ear right up against the tweeter was normal.

Shadorne, can I ask what speakers you are using ?

My simplest digital set up so far. DAC direct to active speakers. Pitch black.

I do get hiss from the TT when volume level is high - I don’t think you can avoid that.
