Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread
What would be cool for OEM, is a rectangular PCB board, with the through holes on one end for direct soldering the various IEC connectors to it. So you could just screw it directly to the backplate of a chassis, and just use 2 standoffs at the oth... 
Linear Power supply for a Weiss dac 204?
I have had TeddyPardo, Hdplex, Uptone JS2 and a bunch of no-name aliexpress linear power supplies, for use on my streamers and network gear. The best of them all was the Farad Super 3. Its only 559 euro, so would be price appropriate and a good ma... 
Swiss Digital FUSE BOX Question Thread
HI Mark, you are considering an OEM version of the SDFB for amplifier manufacturers? How is that coming along? I do realise you have a lot of things on the boil. 3x different snubbers? I just ordered mine!!  
Looking for an HDMI cable
@soix Oh I guess yes I am taking about another standard and i2S is indeed for internal transfer. Probably the receiver is a different standard and not subject to the cable reflections like others are. Putting all that aside, I would still highly ... 
Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000
@blisshifi some of the guys on What's Best Forum, who have access to the most expensive USB cables ever made, including the ones you mention, were claiming its a winner. Intona have 3 performance grades, and the only difference between them is ti... 
Looking for an HDMI cable
@soix I have had over 10 high end HDMI cables. The better ones were probably Wireworld Platinum Starlight and Nordost Heimdall 2 HDMI. The Vivlink 3+ was better than them all. Regarding length, don’t be so sure. For HDMI and USB cables, which are... 
Tara Labs
There was a gigantic, multi year, 20k thread on here about Tara Labs that eventually got deleted, because it was full of dealer shills, just like the similar sized High Fidelity Cables thread. They both got deleted and its a shame because I never... 
Halcro update
It wasn't Gregory but Christiaan Punter that said its better than CH Precision, my bad.  
Best USB cable upgrade for around $1000
I always read Bliss's posts because he is a straight shooter and gives great feedback here - he is always recommending products he does not carry, always. That's a sign of a true hobbyist, not a dealer shill.   @blisshifi speaking of premium USB ... 
Halcro update
Roy Gregory did a review recently on gy8.eu where he said the new Halcro made his reference amp, the CH Precision A1.5, sound almost broken. I remember when I first got into this hobby in 2002 the Halcro had just come out but had a reputation for... 
Looking for an HDMI cable
The Mapleshade Vivlink 3+ cable, I think its price is $220. Endgame HDMI cable, so far above other HDMI cables its not funny. 2m length only because that’s what sounds best. Designed by the father of the F16 Falcon and A10 Warthog aircraft, Pierr... 
Ethernet Cables - what are you using and why?
Melco C100 ethernet cable. It was a large step up from the Nordost Heimdall 2 ethernet, at 1/5th the price. It uses a floating ground at one end, to drain noise away from the source component. So its directional and using it in the wrong directio... 
Burn your power cables in PROPERLY with Haglabs Frycorder
Paul Seydor just happens to try the Haglabs products in the latest issue of TAS (May/June 2024). He also is a burn in skeptic and thinks cable changes are mostly exaggerated. Most of my regular readers know that I am about as far from a wire jun... 
TAOC audio rack from Japan
I for one am interested in this TAOC brand as they recently got Australian distribution. Looks like a good alternative to the HRS and Infinite Elemente racks. Each shelf uses a two shelf floating suspension system, with one of the shelves halves ... 
Apparition Speaker Cables
@raysmtb1 He never owned High Fidelity Cables, it was funded by some rich audiophiles and they chose to close the business. Apparition is now Ricks own thing and he should be supported, not lied about and smeared like you have just done.
