I'm so glad I found this thread. I'm about to (after a decade without) assemble a dedicated audiophile 2-channel system and really want to start out with the right power filtering. The last time I lived where I could really set up a 2 channel system right was back in the late 90s. In fact, I had an Audio Alchemy DTI jitter-filter/resolution-enhanced and DAC combo. That was scraping pennies to get good sound on a college budget but worth every penny. I even met Mark Schifter when working at Soundex in Willowgrove (in the very late 90s) when he came to demo the flagship Genesis speakers. Good times.
In any case... I'm wondering 2 things:
* should the 1800 and deep core be both used together as a pair, or does one effectively replace the other (or make needing the other moot)?
* If they are best used together, then if someone can only budget for one initially, which should it be?
Thanks!
Dave :)
