| Power Cords @guidocorona Thanks for getting back.I was looking at your earlier post where it said you powered the power amp(s) with CB XL but had the original CB on the PSU of your DAC. I had thought maybe you did a comparison between CB and CB XL.You do not ... | |
| Power Cords @guidocorona , was there a reason you went with Clear Reflection IC's & SC's instead of Clear or Clear Beyond?Also, on your power amp(s) what did you find the difference was between Clear Beyond and Clear Beyond XL?Thanks | |
| Cardas Audio Service Quality For starters, the RMA process wasn’t clarified to me. I specifically enquired about it but as I said the only reply that came did not mention it at all.I also asked if the original packaging (which I would have to look for needed to be included) -... | |
| Amp Selection for Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Concert Grand Actually I think VA speakers appreciate high current amps - not as much as Dynaudio’s do but they do sing better with high current. They are more sensitive though and can work well with lower powered amps.If anything my experience with VA BCG spea... | |
| detailed vs. warm DAC - which do I prefer? @ctsooner what DAC did you upgrade to from the Ayre QX 5?You had been championning it for quite a while in the past.What do you now prefer to it?Thanks | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Power cords @biggy79 I read on another thread that you have experience with the Oyaide Tunami GPX R V2.How do you think they compare to the Clear Beyond or Golden Reference for use on a digital source or DAC?Thanks | |
| Furutech GTX-D Rhodium NCF Outlet I whopped a Cardas Golden Reference power cord on the DAC (I had a Cardas Clear Beyond there) and it ameliorated the issue with the highs brought about by the GTX-D R NCF, making the listening more enjoyable and less of a chore during the burn in ... | |
| Furutech GTX-D Rhodium NCF Outlet Echoing the comments of others after 60 hours - the burn in is a pain!It alternates from sounding better to sounding worse in the treble. Earlier the tight bass got boomy but that seems to have cured itself.I can't recall the GTX-D Gold being that... | |
| Furutech GTX-D Rhodium NCF Outlet OK so I got the GTX D Rhodium NCF’s.I have about 5 hours on them now. I have the Cary tube preamp and digital sources on a strip to the outlet. I have the Pass Labs power amp on the Maestro.There is greater clarity, air and instrumental separation... | |
| Furutech GTX-D Rhodium NCF Outlet Thanks guys.Will put the Blue on my shortlist - the 30 day return probably doesn't work for me as I am not in the US.Has anyone tried and compared the Cardas 4181 outlet? Very little is spoken about it at all.I am wondering because most of my powe... | |
| Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle? @c_avila1 how does the Cardas 4181 compare to the Furutech GTX-D R NCF? | |
| Vienna Acoustics The Music owners, what amps ? @jon2020 , in terms of the coincident midrange, tweeter module, what does declining the head or inclining it do with respect to the sound of your system?I have the Kiss but I guess it's similar.I wanted to increase image height and I guess with th... | |
| Cardas Power Cords for DAC @thyname I have similar components, It will be interesting to see where you end up with the power cable on your DAC or source. | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? I am surprised nobody has mentioned Franco Serblin's Ktema or Accordo.I am now using Vienna Acoustics Kiss and am considering moving to Ktema's.Has anyone compared them? | |
| Ayre Parasound Pass : where are you? This is the first time I’ve heard Pass Labs amps being described as thin and really that is the furthest from my experience with them. So I guess it all comes down to system particulars.I like Ayre as well but would say that compared to Pass, they... |
