Chord Dave and lInear power supply

I had been using Chord Dave and Mscaler for 3 years.

 

I installed linear power supply by Farad which cost me around 3k Euros including three separate power supplies.

 

 

Wow it is worth every penny.

 

I get more clear separation of each instrument with more tuneful bass.

 

Also slight sibilance is  gone.

 

It is Dave +. after modification.

 

If you own Dave, you had better try it.

 

The installation is rather handy.

 

You need to follow instruction.

Update 2:  If you're using the M-scaler get one for it too.  I didn't do that the first time.  Not sure why I ovelooked it.  Maybe it wasn't in my system at the time but made a big differene there.  I now have a stack of 4 Farad super 3s.  System has never sounded so good.

I happened to install linear power supply(not Farad) to Mscaler  about two months ago.

 

It improved the sound.

 

Thus I had decided to install Farad kits on Dave.

 

You went the other way around.😀

Mattijs is great.  He will ship your DAVE supply in multiple boxes because mine got tied up in customs because of the listed value.  The single power supply for the M-scaler flew through customs.

Mine also got tied up at US custom for a week.

 

But it was worth the wait.
