| Thickest Power cord with Power distributor? Do what sounds best, but the pragmatic approach is thickest gauge power cable into the power conditioner. | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @nwres Interesting, I'm currently using ethernet cables that are very similar in appearance and price to the LINKUP CAT8, which is called AMPCOM CAT8. My guesstimation is that it's the same cable as the LINKUP albeit rebranded with a different col... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found The same thing happened, I also opened a ticket. Anyway, thanks for the help I appreciate it. What kind of ethernet cables were you using before the Mirus? I have an Inakustik Cat7 and a Supra Cat8 and a buddy loaned me an AQ Vodka, I prefer my ge... | |
| Veritas Cables a new brand that I found @nwres Thanks for replying to my direct message, I tried to respond but could not figure out how so I just messaged here instead. I'm currently leaning toward the Connexa Ethernet Cable which is what was recommended to me by Veritas based on my di... | |
| My Analog Journey - Opinions Sought +3 for Hana ML. Congratulations on keeping the Herron Phono, I've always been on the lookout for a used one since it's no longer in production. Never had the luck. Also if you decide to go the route of LOMC, using a SUT into the MM stage of your ... | |
| Cayin D30 DAC outperforms Weiss, Playback, CH and MSB Not surprised, Cayin makes great gear. Good to see them getting recognition. I used to have a Cayin integrated amplifier, which had 8 power tubes. I couldn't find any fault with the SQ and it was built like a tank. In the end, I made the switch to... | |
| Power supply for ethernet switch? @kingbr You're most welcome. You can always add the Silent Angel Bonn N8 switch later when your budget allows. I get the most satisfaction in building my system gradually, backed by doing extensive research and diving deeper into the rabbit hole. ... | |
| Warm sounding phono cartridge @lewm One can be serious and enthusiastic about something without personally executing the technical aspects. I can be a car enthusiast who loves driving without needing to tinker with the engine. I’m fully capable of setting up a cartridge, but ... | |
| Power supply for ethernet switch? @kingbr I tried using an iFi iPower supply (had one lying around) on a TP-Link switch as well as on a Wi-Fi router and it did not do anything for me. Some people swear by upgrading the PS on a Router however in my case it just didn't work. Perhaps... | |
| Warm sounding phono cartridge @rfauto A properly set up Umami Blue should not leave you not wanting for a "lesser cartridge"—your description of a thin sound points towards a sub-optimal setup. Either that or something else in the analog chain is causing it. I would first ask... | |
| Anyone Listen Extensively To V1 Of The Musical Fidelity Nu Vista Vinyl Phono Stage? I had a buddy who lent me his Nuvista Phono which I had in my system for a couple of weeks and it is very good, a very refined-sounding piece. I was using it in combination with my SUT with great results. The sound is neutral with a hint of warmth... | |
| Warm sounding phono cartridge It sounds like a setup issue to me. Not to play down the OP's skills, knowledge, or experience, but I've tried setting up my Hana ML with a MoFi - Geodisc, and while I got it to sound decent, getting a professional setup guy to do the alignment br... | |
| I'm new to Step Up Transformers @jasonbourne71 Facts. I'm using a .75-meter custom-made phono cable between my SUT and phono. | |
| I'm new to Step Up Transformers In my experience with 4 different phono stages. I have always preferred the sound of using an SUT into the MM stage vs the built-in MC stage. Whether the MC stage has built-in step-up transformers or uses SS for gain, the result is always the same... | |
| ifi LAN iSilencer I've recently added an iFi Lan Silencer Pro and it's quite remarkable. Great addition. |
