| PS Audio Direct Stream Memory Player Do you guys stack the Memory Player on top of the Direct Stream DAC? Or does it go on separate racks?Is there a difference in sound between these placements? | |
| Mark Levinson No. 36 DAC,,,NEED HELP I used to have one.A (defective) transport without a signal will not show "No Code".I've never seen that error in all the years of owning one. | |
| Shunyata Sigma Analog vs Alpha Analog - Need advice!! I have found the Furutech sound to be extremely "clean," to the point of "antiseptic." That may not be the case with all their products. I lived with the GTX-D gold and then the GTX-D Rhodium. The Rhodium was a bit "bleached out." I should ha... | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Power cords @biggy79 Actually, I like the pronounced mid bass on the Golden Reference. There are only a few instances on some recordings where I find the bass a bit boomy.I am surprised you find the Clear Power less bright on top than the Golden Reference Pow... | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Power cords @biggy79 How does a chain of Clear Beyond Power sound like on everything from source to amp? Is it your conclusion that is sounds a bit bright?I am currently using Clear Beyond Power on everything ie. power distributor, preamp, DAC, power amp, exc... | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Interconnects ? @david_ten from what you are saying, it sounds like the Audience SX is the way to go.I think the Clear Beyond will give you some of that. How does it compare to the Audience SX? I will await your feedback. | |
| Cardas Clear Beyond Interconnects ? @david_ten Which Pass separates are you trying the Au 24 SX XLR's with and how do they sound so far?I wonder if they have a leaner sound than Cardas does. | |

| Cardas Clear Beyond Power cords @garebear do you know in what ways it's meant to surpass the Clear Beyond Power? | |
| Pass Labs X260.8 owners please check in .... @ebm yes, didn't realise you had moved on from the Pass Labs X350.8.How does the Audia Flight Strumento compare sonically? | |
| Swapping W4S to Pass Labs XA- worth it? It's a no brainer. If they can drive your speakers, I would go with the Class A Pass Labs. I think the 0.8 series have higher input impedances. | |
| Cary SLP 05 - When To Replace Tubes? I’ll be darned. I swapped back the old tubes and guess what, it wasn’t the tubes after all. Eveything sounded OK again even with the old tubes so I’ll continue using them for now.So to everyone who said it wasn’t the tubes - you are right!This is ... | |
| Cary SLP 05 - When To Replace Tubes? OK i have swapped the tubes.So far it seems to be the tubes (I still have to swap the old ones back to reconfirm) but what I was getting was a muddier sound overall with less pitch definition which made the deeper bass from the power cords and the... | |

| Cary SLP 05 - When To Replace Tubes? OK so do you suggest I try another set of tubes? I am running fully balanced and so will need to change 6 tubes. I have swapped out the rectifier to a Mullard 5AR4. |
