| Regen by Uptone Audio It is just hard to get excited about another gadget of the month that will be surpassed in another few months as digital technology progresses. It is like pharmaceutical commercials on TV. If you have to ask your doctor to give you more drugs then... | |
| Has anyone tried Blue Jeans Cable LC-1 RCA IC? I had a pair of Black cat morpheus cables in my system for about a year and then swapped them out for the LC-1's and I immediately was dismayed by how much detail, sound stage etc was lost. I kept them in for a week but just could not take it anym... | |
| Interesting way to wire speakers…??? shhhh...the jumper cable salesmen are not going to want this secret out!I have done the same thing with my Mapleshade Double Helix cables after struggling for a long time on what to do for jumpers. Made the most sense to me to have matching cable ... | |
| DAC straight to power amp? Just make sure the Audirvana volume control is set to all the way down for the initial power up. Seems simple enough to me to avoid the speaker thrashing?If it was a Windows machine maybe I would worry a little, but a Mac, come on seriously :)I ha... | |
| audiophilleo 2 The AP with Purepower upgrade is another subtle but noticeable improvement but again it all depends on your particular setup.I ditched my Silverstar cable and went with the Direct Connection as I subscribe to the best cable is no cable school of t... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Hello again George, still loving m LSA and I did add a TeraDak PS to the mix.At first I thought I heard a big difference vs. the wallwart but now I am used to it but I am staying with the TeraDak. Yes that red led is BRIGHT and be carefaul as the ... | |
| Add DAC or mod player? I would go the DAC route. The QuteHD with a nice linear power supply is very nice. I thought I was going to use my transport for ever but once I experimented with PC based music, there is no looking back!The QuteHD gave me the chance to try out US... | |
| Apple Remote App Thanks for the heads up. Updating now but my remote worked good even before. I just got a new Mac Book Pro and I am so happy to be back on my Audirvana with integer mode. I was using my Windows8 Lenovo for a while as I awaited the release of the n... | |
| Considering a First Watt F-4 I just got a J2 so cannot comment about the F4, but I am extremely happy with the amp. I am amazed at how nice a 25 wpc amp sounds and the build quality is what you would expect but from Mr. Pass but at a bargain basement price which makes it a lo... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? UPDATE: New Amplifier in my rigSo on a whim, I decided to try out the Nelson Pass First Watt J2 amplifier at 25 wpc. I was concerned about the volume levels but no problem watt so ever with the J2. Actually, the LSA works smoother than with my Bry... | |
| Coputer or NAS NAS is network Attached Storage.It has no participation in the management or configuration of a network but rather is just a dumb box with lots of storage space that is plugged into your network. | |
| Goodbye CD's I slowly burned my CD collection to disk and now I have the daunting task of what to do with them? Take them out of the case and store in multiple CD towers that you buy blanks in or keep them in the jewel case and use multiple rubbermaid type tub... | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? Cool, Thanks George,My new 2 foot cables (Blackcat Lectraline) are 37 pf/ft so a negligible change | |
| Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever? cable question: should the cable pair with the lower capacitance go between the LSA and Amp or the Source and LSA or does it not matter?I just upgraded my cables but the more expensive cables have twice the capacitance as my cheaper Blue Jeans.Bot... |
