| power conditioning question gentlemen @oleschool I totally get it. That’s why I make my own when I can and gave up on things that don’t offer phenomenal benfits. I make my own speakers, cables, and music server which leaves me with a lot of cash for a nice DAC and room treatment. Best... | |
| Upgrade my DAC or buy more weed? Depends on whether they are DIP packages or SMD. If DIP, depends on whether they were socketed or not. If not, take them out, add some nice sockets, and then do what you want with the op amps. In addition to chip rolling (just swapping one set of ... | |
| power conditioning question gentlemen Well, like is relative. It's relative to how much $$ I'd have to spend. :) :) :) I do like big iron/transformers, and power regenerators. If I could have it all, I'd go that route but in your case the two things I would NOT give up are surge prot... | |
| Need Suggestions for speakers up to $15K new/used Just read your owner’s manual. As mentioned in the manual, you can still hook up a sub via the Pre amp outputs, no problem.

There is a new USB 2.0 Asynch plugin I have not tried which I imagine would improve things. I'm moving the Touch to l... | |

| power conditioning question gentlemen @oleschool Given a choice between voltage regulation, and balanced power, I'd go with regulation in your situation, that is, going off grid for long periods of time. The regulation in the P2400 AR will keep your gear in optimal voltage ranges no m... | |
| Streaming DSD from Linux - Not as hard as I thought! @sbank My sound quality IS maximized. :) I like the Sonore unit, but honestly I thought it was ugly and I'm more than a little pissed off at so many streaming vendors offering such expensive devices. The Squeezebox Touch was $499 when it was relea... | |
| Calling all room treatment type specialists... GIK Accoustic panels will print the poster on a panel for you. :) Best,Erik | |
| Streaming DSD from Linux - Not as hard as I thought! @sbank Thanks, as soon as they add Steam Gaming I'm in. :) Seriously it looks pretty cool but I needed more than a headless server right now. I'm also really happy with the LMS ecosystem of server and phone/tablet apps. However if I was starting f... |
