| PS Audio PWT - cd transport @charles1dad , Charles, I can now safely say that the PWT combined with the PS NuWave DAC is providing me with outstanding digital. "Exceptionally open, resolved, transparent but best of all very natural sound"... I copied your statement since it... | |
| PS Audio PWT - cd transport Hi Al. We’re so lucky to have you here as a consultant. Using a cheater plug has resulted in clarity and low-end extension in my music. Thank you.If you recall, you diagnosed a ground-loop in my system whereby the ARC CDP (using unbalanced) had a ... | |
| PS Audio PWT - cd transport Thanks Charles. I've emailed PS Audio, but wanted to see what owners have to say. Since it's factory refurbished, I'm wondering if caps were replaced and it needs some burn-in time.My DAC is the entry-level PS Audio (not at the level of the Yamamo... | |
| PS Audio PWT - cd transport I'm pleased to see this thread resurrected. I purchased a factory refurbished PWT and it looks brand new, but I have a question regarding it's performance. I have ordered an Audioquest HDMI cable, but until it arrives I am using an Oyaide coax cab... | |
| My Dog Broke-in My New Purist Audio Bi-Wired Cables Purist uses a liquid as the damping material with a combination of either copper/silver or gold added for the conductor. The cable needs to be sent to Purist to be refilled and sealed, then terminated.These cables don't leak (unless a dog chews on... | |
| Worth fixing? You could check with one of the companies that does mods on the Jolida to get a price for repair and upgrading. The mods include better quality caps, power supply, and isolation. I owned owned a 100A and loved the sonic signature, but thought it l... | |
| Small living room speaker options.. Totem Arro? Ive auditioned many of the Totem speakers, and in your case I would caution using the Sttaf in your small space. They are fussy speakers as far as placement and need about 3 ft. between rear and wall to get optimal imaging. The Arro's are made fo... | |
| Improve volume from turntable with a new cartridge? Lewm’s last comments make a lot of sense.My cartridge has a high output of 5mV, and my volume control is at 10 o’clock and 12 o’clock between TT and CD.If you want try an outboard phonostage, I have heard good things about the iFi iPhono2, as well... | |
| Best "laid-back" speaker cable & interconnects for all Naim system? That aside, as a former Naim junkie, IMO the cables are not your problem. If the sound is that objectionable, you need to change the amp.Bad synergy between amp and speakers. That's why you should ask at Naim owners forum. | |
| Strange classified responses or are they fishing?I wonder if they are fishing or really phishing for details about you. I'm sure it's happening to other members. | |
| Best "laid-back" speaker cable & interconnects for all Naim system? Here are several suggestions;I know that Vandersteen recommends biwiring their speakers, so perhaps that would provide a more even frequency response. I don't know what your cable budget is, but Purist Audio cables are laid back with a smooth top ... | |
| Best "laid-back" speaker cable & interconnects for all Naim system? If sfall is correct about the Nait amp, then adding cables is the wrong approach. The Nait produces 50wpc, but it may not have the current required to drive the Vandersteen's. That means it's not a good match for these speakers.Care to weigh in, ... | |
| If NOS pre or power tubes became unavailable altogether, what new tubes would you buy? tubegroover, that's a serious problem that Sophia has not addressed. I started a thread a few weeks ago where I brought up the subject of NOS 6SN7's becoming microphonic. I don't like the sterile sound of the new production tubes I've heard in the... | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? Audio GD is supposed to be very good also but if we check spec the R2R ladder resistors in audio GD are 0,1% precision (DA M1 modules) but Ares has 0.01% resistors and the top Denafrips models even use 0,005% resistor ladders.The Ares gets som... | |
| Dac: Does anyhting beat the Schiit Gungnir Multibit (Gumby) in the same price range? I owned the Chord Qute EX and found it's performance to be excellent. The Chord 2Qute is the upgraded model.The reproduction of music was so realistic and open and did very well in revealing micro-dynamics. The only flaw was the lack of low-end ex... |
