Furutech GTX NCF receptical break in, how long
Based on my experience with the NCF outlets, they take about 400 hours to settle down and at least 600 hours to run in. Before settling down, expect the unexpected as the sound will drastically vary each day. 
Hypex N core module
I use the Acoustic Imaginery Atsah monos and also do not experience any high frequency issues or soundstaging issues. The Ncore 1200, imo, is extremely revealing, neutral and transparent and will take on the character of the source equipment, cabl... 
Wilson Audio Sasha Mk I
I own a pair of Wilson Sasha 1. They are amazing speakers and excel with most genres of music; especially jazz, classical and rock. Like some have said, wilsons are not everyone's cup of tea so it would be best if you could audition it and hear it... 
Synergistic Research Powercell 12UEF
How does the UEF 12 compare to the likes of PS Audio power plant or AudioQuest Niagara 7000? Any further impressions regarding the comparisons with the AQ? I know the PS audio is a regenerator with a different topology. I've been curious which con... 
Class D Technology
Great thread. I'll add that Class D amps are extremely sensitive to power source and power supply. To hear the best the technology can offer, you would have to pair it carefully with a matching quality power cord and possibly a power conditioner. ...

Shiit yggdrasil
Which screws did you have to remove to open the casing? Anything in  particular to watch out for when doing so?Is there a notable difference in SQ after the fuse change? 
Shiit yggdrasil
In audio, the MSRP of a product should not be a correlation to its performance. More often than not, the high markups paid relate to the exterior cosmetics of the product, marketing costs and distributor fees rather than the interior circuitry.Sch... 
Shiit yggdrasil
I have the Sashas. I’ve not heard the MA1 so I can’t comment on that. I would urge you to find a way to audition a conditioned yiggy. A word of advice, if you are auditioning the yiggy, it has to be ’burned in’. Fresh out of the box, the yiggy wil... 
Shiit yggdrasil
The Schiit Yggdrasil is the real deal. Period. No other DAC at this price point can compete. It can compete favourably with any DAC at any price point, depending on how revealing your system is; the yiggy will reveal minute details, dynamics and s...
