| Synergistic Grounding Block and Tweaking it. Hi Gary,That gives me an idea. I have the SE version with the included "special" SR Atmosphere power cord and also a Verastarr Statement II HC (dual silver foil cord) that I can compare on the Active GB. Will let you know my impressions.Dave | |
| Upgrade to AMR DP-777 SE or look elsewhere Last time I checked, Atlanta was considered to be located in the west. :)I am not aware of any manufacturer (US made or otherwise) that offers fire protection, but several do offer DACs with comparable or even better performance vs the Terminator ... | |
| Advice on the best DAC to match with an Aurender N100 I am not surprised that the stock power cord yielded no benefit. The folks at Aurender are not open to aftermarket cables and cords. The Verastarr Gold Statement power cord eliminates the last vestiges of hashiness and grain with my N100H FWIW. Ca... | |
| Upgrade to AMR DP-777 SE or look elsewhere For the record, Denafrips recently announced that Mike Powell, owner of Verastarr and located just outside of Atlanta, is now their official US service center.Dave | |
| Advice on the best DAC to match with an Aurender N100 Hi pg62,I have a N100H and have been happy with the sound when paired with an Exogal Comet Plus and a Denafrips Terminator, both via USB. I also have found it sensitive to power cords.Dave | |

| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Craig,I am a registered CKCS breeder with AKC. You are right on that the challenge with this breed is avoiding hereditary health issues. Responsible breeders have their CKCS parent dogs tested for mitral valve disease, eye and knee issues by ex... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Craig, sorry to hear of the health issues. I am puzzled...none of our ten (3 to 7 yrs) have ever been to the vet since their initial puppy vaccinations. Our first one lived 14 years with no issues. Anyhow, as you said, they are the most loving dog... | |

| Power Cables sisyphus51,I was using a metaphor. According to Wikipedia: "A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly refers to one thing by mentioning another for rhetorical effect. It may provide clarity or identify hidden similarities between two ideas."Dave | |
| Power Cables “Good Grief! Just use the power cords supplied by the manufacturer of your audio gear. That is all you need!”Yes and always repurchase the crap OEM tires that your car’s manufacturer put on it at the factory. After all, they meet minimum DOT requi... | |
| Total cost of ownership - how to reduce it o_holder,Others cannot discern how you feel or why, only what you say and write. I took umbrage at the remark I quoted and still do. Regardless, I am glad to hear that you resolved your issue.Dave | |
| Interconnects and non-believers Above post by Elizabeth re: The Cable Company is inaccurate. They charge 5% of the list price of the product as a fee (plus UPS Ground shipping) to borrow cables which is non-refundable in cash but is applied as a credit against the purchase price... |
