| Borderpatrol Dac SE For the power cord I'm using my trusted Cabledyne 10 gauge pure silver cord. It's plugged into a Audioquest Niagara 5000. | |
| WHEN DID YOU FINALLY STOP... It stopped for me when I built the best system around my Nola Ko speakers. Audiolab 6000cdt, BP dac and a set amp. It took 40 years but I'm done. For now that is. | |
| What is your experience with amp power? Here is my experience with SS and tube power on a pair of Nola Ko speakers. 1st I had a MF m6 series 230 wpc SS amp running them. A little forward that would fatigue my ears after a couple of hours. Next I used a 75 wpc KT 88 tube amp. I thought n... | |
| Borderpatrol Dac SE I rolled in a Bugle Boy Holland ez80 rectifier tube. This definitely woke up my BP dac. I read that different rectifier tubes won't make much difference in sound quality. That is a false statement. | |
| Borderpatrol Dac SE I'm new to my BP dac purchase. I installed a SR purple fuse and a mini watt ez80 tube. I'm the 2nd owner of this dac. It has only the digital coaxial input. I like it because it is a straight up musical dac. Simple hook up and has a very natural l... | |
| Speaker Cable Recommendations - Under 2k With the Morrow 7 cables why would you need better cables ? You have a lot of money invested in cables now. Keep the Morrow cables. | |

| The New Synergistic Research Purple Fuses In are audio club we call it bass ping. No boom and rumble. Just musical bass notes as they should be. | |
| Acoustic Curtain for listening area I use the black out curtains in my listening room. I have them behind the speakers. Listening chair and side walls. | |
| Does a turntable make a DRAMATIC difference? Unless you put huge amount of money into your tt set up it'll never sound cd quality. | |
| Synergistic Research Purple UEF Duplex - receptacle I have had a conversation with one. And they said this is normal behavior for a true audiophile. So there us a perfectly clear answer. Purple power is here to stay for me. | |
| Amp Internal Wire Thats 18 gauge wire not 28. | |
| Amp Internal Wire I have a Jolida 502b tube amp. I rewired it with 28 gauge soild core 9n pure silver wire. The difference is night and day after the wire burned in. The amp has a new hifi sound quality. | |
| Brass versus copper binding posts Those connectors are very good. The KELI connectors are very good also. |
