| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz I have been happily using a complete loom of HFC for years now, with digital (CT-1UR) / interconnect (CT-1UR) / speaker (CT-1E).Recently I attempted to maybe replace my CT-1E speaker cables, with an eye to perhaps selling them as they have now bee... | |
| The new Synergistic Research BLUE fuses .... A nice jump over the RED fuse. But when testing direction I realized I may have been using my old RED fuse backwards for years.When the BLUE was installed backwards it was similar in tonality to my RED (but better), but it was still better when re... | |
| Linear Power Supply for a DAC The Teddy Pardo power supply was excellent, better than all the ebay linear power supplies I tried that are not much cheaper. But the best was the Uptone Audio JS-2. But its the most expensive, so I'm not sure how it compares to other LPS that ar... | |
| PS Audio Noise Harvester I thought they had a negative effect and sat on the music. And this was using them in PS Audio's own power distributor.On the other hand, my experience of the Nordost Qv2, Alan Mayer Designs filters and MIT Z-Duplex all had a positive effect. | |
| Computer Speakers I'm going against the grain here for Computer PC.... I spent years trying different high end PC speakers, such as Klipsch, multiple various Audioengine products, pro audio monitors e.t.cIn the end the best speakers for nearfield listening (i.e 50-... | |
| Has anyone been banned from Steve Hoffman Forums? The Steve Hoffman Forums are the best place on the internet to find out about, and obsess over, the different masterings of music released before the 90's.Some classic albums have a wildy different sound depending on which region of the world they... | |
| One of the best HDMI cable? I have been through a dozen high end HDMI cables, purely for Videophile useage, not audio. Most made no difference. Some expensive cables were worse than stock (Chord HDMI Active, i'm looking at you).But the best was the Mapleshade Vivlink 2 with ... | |
| C7 power cable for Blu-ray player? I used to obsess about C7 power cables because the choice is not that large. I tried Furutech G-320, Audioquest NRG 1.5, Nordost Purple Flare plus a quite a few home brew designs.Out of all my testing, I thought the Nordost Purple Flare was the be... | |
| EVS modded Oppo 95 I have never purchased a product from EVS. But Ric is very open with his mods and explains them on his website. I copied 2 of his ideas and they worked very well.One was using the Audiomagic Pulse Gen field generator in the Oppo player. This impro... | |
| Wadia 321 DAC, anyone have any experience with it? I have to say the casework on that DAC is spectacular for the price it sells. The inside looks pretty sparse.... | |
| Question about High Fidelity Cables by. R. Schultz They are screw in, so you can swap from banana to spade if you need to. | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC Sabai, I have read all those reviews previously.You are taking one or two lines out of context. You need to read an entire review to get a sense of whether a reviewer REALLY thinks a product is 'thar best evar' or whether they are going through th... | |
| Bricasti M1 DAC vs PS Audio Direct Stream DAC When the DS DAC came along I just looked at all the reviews in general and barely any of them declared the DS to be a game changer, or the best DAC they has ever heard. They only declared it to be 'good' which in the audio review industry means 'n... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Rlawry, I would highly recommend the CT-1E for the phono cable. The CT-1E was initially designed as a turntable phono cable in the first place. It is a big advance in realism over the standard CT-1. | |
| EVS modified Oppo 105D Yes his mod pictures look like a dogs breakfast. But I guess it's the performance that counts.I think his issue is he uses copper wire sheathed in cotton as the connecting links. So it does not look very clean. |
