Digital cable to feed my PS Audio PW DAC
Thanks for the suggestions. Seems like my system is moving towards Harmonic Technologies as I'm thinking about a second pair of Magic Link II's from preamp to DAC. My current configuration is Magic Link II's from Pass X350.5 to Cary SLP-05 pre the... 
PS Perfect wave power cord
I just plugged in a brand new AC12 into my system last night. This cable runs between my Furutech wall outlet on a dedicated line 10awg cyro'd romex. This replaced a DIY VH-Audio Flavor 4 (9awg) cyro'd cable with Furutech Gold connectors.Even afte... 
EVS modded BDP-83 , or separate DAC ?
My experience with the BD83 and mods is this. I purchased the stock BP83 and though it sounded poorly at best at audio, is was/is great on video. Then the BDP83SE came out so I gave my 83 to Oppo who upgraded it to the SE version. Audio performanc... 
Just got the PS Audio Perfectwav DAC -- Amazing
Here's my 20 cents worth regarding PW DAC, preamp and digital volume control. It's a long diatribe. For starters, I tried running straight to Pass Labs X350.5. Extremely clean accurate and 2 dimensional sound but lacking musical involvement. I wan... 
Power cord..CDP or AMPLIFIER?
Lostbears, what PS Audio PC's are you comparing them with and what was the outcome? 
Metheny show...who is excited?
I got free tickets to Pat Metheny once. Given to me by a friend who didn't know who he was. She won them. Looked like toward the back seats but I didn't care. I invited a friend and upon arrival the usher sat us in some seats that were added for t...

Driving MBL 121: Accuphase or Gryphon
Having owned the Nuforce SEV2's for the past 2 years, then switching to the Pass 350.5, I doubt the Nuforces could drive the MBL's 121's. The Nuforce amps are great IMO. The Pass feels twice better at twice the price. That being said, the Nuforce ... 
Driving MBL 121: Accuphase or Gryphon
I now have the 121's mated with the 350.5. Just an amazing soundstage. Very dynamic down to the 50Hz region. I feel you need a pair of subs with these. We have one so I get a bit of off channel balance.With the Pass X350.5 no strain noted what-so-... 
Driving MBL 121: Accuphase or Gryphon
I'm going to look at a MBL 121 tonight. Could this mean that my Pass Labs X350.5 may not be powerful enough to drive one of these monitors? 
Pass amps + Power Cords ??
The person who was "neutral" as in, not an audio geek questioned the difference in power cables. "How can that be?". "Why were they so different in sound".Anyone care to answer that?There's a loaded question.. 
Pass amps + Power Cords ??
I had a power cord competition last night and the wrong cable won. I took on loan some PS Audio cables from a dealer, the AC10 and a AC5. They took up residence where my DIY Furutech's and Oyanide Acrolinks were. The first competition I had placed... 
Dynaudio Confidence C1 broken & Cap question
Mr Hieuli Sir, :-)1. Dynaudio does not return my calls2. I removed the driver and sent it to them - they have it3. They assummed wrong doing on my part. It was after all, a single midbass driver that failed. Kind of strange IMO4. They have a trans... 
Balanced cable between Pass X350.5 and Cary SLP05
That what I use now. Magic truly flows through this cable. 
Dynaudio Confidence C1 broken & Cap question
Well, it's like this.My wife loves and is in the same boat I am when it comes to this crazy hobby of ours. So, being scared of the Dyns, we search for another solution. The LS6's. I'd feel stupid and rightfully so to sell one for another, especial...
