Break in blues
I can understand that jtcf sometimes little changes are for the better sometimes not. I broke every rule I suppose I tossed a whole system together in about a month. New speakers, DAC, integrated amp , streamer, cables only thing I still use is my... 
Break in blues
I am not exempting speakers since the manufacturer told me the most change I would notice and what takes the longest is the way I hear their speakers. I just turn it on and enjoy.  
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
I just don’t understand , I have a McIntosh that came with cord so thick and heavy I have it supported because it will slightly sag at the amp connection. Perhaps all amp manufacturer’s don’t supply good quality cords but I would think a good repu... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
The point is not me but why would ARC who sells world class amps toss in a power cord that isn’t going to make me go WOW when I hook it into my system. Instead I say , Blah, I need a power cord these chintzes gave me a lousy cord fit for a coffee ... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
So ARC sells good amps and tosses in a cable as an afterthought.  Great marketing strategy.   
What's the deal with all the spam lately?
Spam, spam,spam, egg and spam.  
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
So Audio Research promotes using high quality cable yet provides cables that are not sufficient for the needs of their equipment? Interesting.that ARC would not provide the highest quality since they place so much emphasis on cabling.

Does Audio Research provide power cords with their products ?  
Difference between ESS Sabre Burr Brown Wolfson DACs
@tparr I have an experience similar to yours I own an older Onkyo CDP that uses the Wolfson 8742 chip and a new Benchmark DAC3B that uses the ESS 9028PRO and I find the Benchmark presets more detail especially in classical and Jazz than my old Onk... 
Break in blues
I have completely rebuilt my system within the last month the latest component being a DAC I added a few days ago. It already sounds wonderful to me so I guess my ears and brain have broken in to the sound characteristics. If you forget the extran... 
Streamer always on?
I thought it might mr_m. The reason I put mine in vacation mode is there might be a couple of days go by when I don't use it , I still spin CD's and sometimes  I would have to power cycle it anyway to reset the ip address.  
Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder
I’ve had a pair of the Ohm 2000’s for about a month and they just seem to get better as time goes by. The bass on this model goes down to 32hz and that’s just about right for my tastes so I haven’t felt the need to supplement with a sub. The highs... 
Schiit Bifrost vs. the original Peachtree Dac-it
When I was comparing DAC's Amazon would show , frequently bought together,  pairing the D50 with the IPower low noise power supply which costs $50 so it came to about $300 total. I went with a different dac and don't know why they don't supply som... 
can anyone help me........
If there is a rotel dealer close by have you tried a demo of their newer players like the  1572?  
Dealing with a power amp that need 20A connection
I can't tell from the OP  original post if the amp is standard 120 volt or 240 volt. If it's 120 then an adapter  would work or better yet contact ARC give them the serial number and they could either sell you the right cord or advise on a proper ...
