| Speaker Cable Upgrade... Advice Please The Cardas cables you are using have a sonic signature; laid-back, warm, and a roll-off in the highs. If the presentation of your system is now forward and extended, the new component is the culprit. Swapping cables randomly, especially a revealin... | |
| If You Like Brian Eno and My Bloody Valentine ... @astewart8944 , you make a great point that music is generational. And 20-somethings definitely do not think life is a melody. Chaos and noise... well said. | |
| If You Like Brian Eno and My Bloody Valentine ... I agree with @ghosthouse , too much distortion. Bands like My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive are much more melodic. Sorry, I wanted to like it. | |
| PS Audio PWT next step in performance? I don't have an answer for better hardware, but installing aftermarket fuses in the PWT is supposed to be transformative. Instructions are on the PSA site. | |
| My Father's Place ? The Fillmore East didn’t last very long, but is an important part of NYC music history. The Palladium theater on 14th St. was one of my favorite venues. Some very historic shows happened there including Bruce Springsteen appearing for a week in 19... | |
| My Father's Place ? Very cool. I never knew LI had a history of such important bands, but it was before my time. I no longer live in the area but very pleased to see MFP back in a big way.And I remember how loud Zebra was in those small clubs. I used to see them when... | |
| Anyone bought direct from ps audio and returned it? I doubt you will have any problems dealing with PSA. I sent my transport for warranty service and it was returned within a weeks time. Customer service responds quickly to email, and even their forum is excellent. | |

| Anyone have issues with shipping Canada to USA? Small items marked used should be no problem when shipped Canada Post. After it clears customs, USPS continues with the delivery.I purchased components from Canadian dealers and they would only ship UPS. The delivery was quick, but there was alway... | |
| Does Plugging Bass Port Affect Pace, Rhythm and Timing? Are you using any type of footers? Lifting the speakers off the shelf will really tighten up the bass. | |
| Tube Question @jcbach , does your amp use a 3-prong power cable; the type with an earth ground? If so, try using a cheater-plug into the wall receptacle. This will eliminate the possibility of a ground loop. | |
| AAA vs DDD... I would call "the mistake" in analogue production "colouration" or "harmonic distortion." I'm not sure which is more difficult, analogue or digital production. With analogue, there is the constant concern to reduce noise and prevent distortion wh... | |
| Transport ARC CDP uses the Philips pro transport and is designed with excellent vibration and noise control. Marantz also uses a Phillips transport.When using a CDP as a transport, a reclocker at the input to the Dac would provide higher SQ. The outputs on ... | |
| Question for tube aficionados So you like the Tele's, they're excellent tubes. You gave the Amperex a chance, as long as you burned them in for 60 hours and then did some critical listening. | |
| First HiFi system - questions Good advice from mesch. I have a few comments...Nice looking vintage TT, but don't bother replacing the cable.Definitely compare the performance of the CDP vs. Dac. But, typically a DAC in a preamp will have a small power supply and may not be as ... |
