| Musings on Switching Power Supplies (LPS for Oppo / DirecTV/ Radiance) First step was obvious. I had been looking at that Oppo linear power supply on the OPPOMOD website for a while now, but always thought that it was lower down on the priority list. Well, obviously, it just rose up to priority #1, lol. So, I pu... | |
| Power Cords When you take a look inside the Marantz products you see the cheap parts. This proofs how limited they are. The company who does the technical support of Marantz in my country told me hoe poor the parts are they use.I would highly caution everyone... | |
| Power Cords @ricred1 - I don't know that the older Audioquest power cords were that bad. The cord itself (such as NRG-4) is very good, but a significant amount of the sonic signature is also determined by the terminations, which were typically gold-plated. ... | |

| Power Cords @ricred1 - it's too bad that you don't live close to me (central California). I would love to see how some of my "built" power cables stack up. Usually, when cable companies move up in their models, they always go to silver / silver-plated compo... | |
| MARANTZ 8801 passing 4K???? The AV8801 has HDMI 1.4 inputs/outputs and will pass some of the original 4K formats. A lot has changed since then and the 4K formats have gone through several iterations. You will need something that has HDMI 2.0 / HDCP 2.2 to make sure you sup... | |
| Proceed AVP sub output and output connections questions RCA output is already 6db lower than XLR, so if you are using XLR outputs for your left/right channels, the subwoofer needs to be adjusted at least +6db. If the bass is still not loud enough in relation and you are using an external amplifier for... | |
| Picking an amplifier I have used JRiver for several years now and I love it. It is highly configurable. If you have a weird driver/pc/audio situation, odds are that JRiver can be configured to work with it. It supports kernel streaming modes (which may or may not w... | |

| Scam dealer on Ebay? I have often seen items on ebay with totally insane prices. The items tend to stay listed for years without selling. A lot of times, these are from Japan listings. Gotta wonder what these people are thinking. Examples are something like Krell... | |
| PADIS vs Furutech fuses @nonoise - I have been listening to the PADIS fuse in a transport situation. In addition to the preamp listening, I can say that the PADIS fuse will definitely roll-off high frequency detail when compared to the Furutech fuse. It also does not h... | |
| Amp recommendation and setup advice please @laher – Some more information. PS Audio is discontinuing the Nuwave Phono Premp and selling it at a big discount (about 48% off) for $999 USD. If you are interested, you could contact them to see about shipping to UK and to make sure it is co... | |
| Chord Dave I still absolutely love the Chord Dave, but I have yet to hear a DAC that I prefer directly into the amplifier. The Corus may not be the best preamplifier, but for now I’m keeping it. Ladies and gentleman I think I’m done for a while!I have defini... | |
| Amp recommendation and setup advice please The SOTM would probably be best if you used the stock computer power supply, with the JCAT being second. The Paul Pang really needs an external linear power supply, but it is likely to be the best if you use a linear power supply.---Please note th... | |
| Amp recommendation and setup advice please You should probably read this:https://www.musicservertips.com/how-to-articles/iphone-digital-audio-output/ It appears that iPhone/iPod will not allow digital connection with some DACs. You can try this with the Gustard, but honestly I think the b... |
