| When the Audio Critic was subjective. I seem to recall he was touting some rediculously-priced Class A amplifier in one of his initial issues. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Shotgun speaker cables has been around since the 1970’s. That’s not what the SM is about. If one wants to double up speaker cables, then have at it. Enjoy the SQ benefits! | |
| Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner?? Jimmy, maybe not your “last power filter;” maybe you need another 3500P. LolI’m certainly considering getting another AC-3500P. | |
| System sounds better at night? Since each outlet of the Inakustik AC-3500P is configured in parallel to the other outlets, all outlets have as much power line feed as the others. This is not the case with certain other conditioners (or so-called power distribution centers) in w... | |
| System sounds better at night? For my system, a pair of ATC SCM20-2 active monitors (built-in amps and x-overs), Jay’s Audio CDT2 MK2 CD Transport, Theta Digital DSPro Basic IIIa DAC and Oppo SE83 blu-ray player are plugged into the unit. My preamp, Teo Audio’s The Liquid Pre, ... | |
| Differences between cd transports? Like clean power, feeding a CD playback system with a clean disc will almost always result in improved SQ. (Elizabeth, +1) | |
| GaN-based Class D power amps It’s too bad that Merrill (the man) won’t be in the mix at APOXNA 2019 in Chicagoland. | |
| Experience with Inakustik 3500P Power Conditioner?? jbags, my advice is to get one of these puppies. 30 day return policy. Word on the street is that nobody returns it after purchase and end up selling their uber-expensive conditioners. | |
| System sounds better at night? Daytime enjoyment of one’s audio system is hampered by so many things. Solar radiation, demand on the power grid of local utilities, consumer products being used in home, increased airborne particulates, etc. | |
| System sounds better at night? OP: per your search for a power conditioner, check my posts about Inakustik AC-3500P on the following thread:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/what-makes-a-20a-iec-rated-for-20-amps | |
| What makes a 20A IEC rated for 20 amps? @ozzyHere is some info about the unit the manufacturer provided in response to my inquiries.The unit does not include electronic processing of the power; that is, no isolation transformers (like Furman, CPT and others), no power wave-shaping (like... | |
| What makes a 20A IEC rated for 20 amps? My new Inakustik AC-3500P power conditioner that is rated at 15A comes equipped with an IEC inlet rated at 20A. According to the dealer, that inlet is better at supporting cleaner power surges than an IEC inlet rated at 15A. | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic ketchup. I understood your Q. The only way to evaluate the SM complete assemblies without splitters is to compare them against the same IC’s used with Y-splitters. I did that with the HAVE, Inc. Canare IC’s (separate IC’s with Y-splitters vs SM in... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic ketchup, you need to catch up. Lol. Several cable shops (e.g., HAVE, Inc. and Audio Sendibility) and manufacturers (e.g., Teo Audio, Anticables, Acoustic BBQ and a couple others) have made integrated SM assemblies for audio terminations using RCA ... | |
| Doug Schroeder Method, Double ic Refresher: the Schroeder Method (“SM”) of interconnect cabling a system refers to taking 2 similar or dissimilar brands of interconnects and connecting them in parallel. Y-splitters can be used for native interconnects. One can also use manufactur... |
