| I suddenly have a weird buzz issue; can someone help me solve the problem? This may or may not be useful… I recently demoed a new preamp. I’ve had a silent system for years and years, with many component changes but the new preamp brought a hum with it like you describe. The culprit ended up being the Puritan 156 or so i... | |
| Good small/single outlet power conditioner for preamp. Update: The Furutech tp-609 passive power distribution unit AND the Equi=Core 1800 balanced power conditioner are BOTH hum free!! This confirms some sort of mismatch in power or grounding between the Puritan PSM156 and the Backert Labs Rhythm 1.4... | |
| Good small/single outlet power conditioner for preamp. @elliottbnewcombjr yes, the Preamp maker has been very helpful, guiding me through lots of these checks. | |
| Good small/single outlet power conditioner for preamp. @elliottbnewcombjr Im not qualified/knowledgeable enough to do that. If I knew more to what you’re referring to, maybe so… but that sounds iffy for me. Maybe the new/different/unconventional design of the Puritan filtering system does not jive... | |
| Good small/single outlet power conditioner for preamp. @gramophone_canada No, there is no noise when just pre and power are connected. Noise comes as soon as a DAC (two, tube or ss here to try) is connected. I am using RCA from pre to power (and DAC to pre). I did use a cheater plug on the DAC and it... | |
| Good small/single outlet power conditioner for preamp. @erik_squires nope. Dang it, I had some hope with that one… Anyone know which power conditioner is considered the competitor to the Puritan 156?? I guess I could always try that one… but I’d have to commit to this preamp first and then pray t... | |
| Good small/single outlet power conditioner for preamp. @erik_squires No, not on this deadicated circuit. Just the system: a CD transport and its LTA ps, an AppleTV, an IFi spidif Purifier, DAC, pre and amp. | |
| Good small/single outlet power conditioner for preamp. Hi erik. All components are into the Puritan. But now with this new and very nice preamp I’m demoing, there is hum when a source is plugged into the pre. Take the pre straight to the same outlet the Puritan is plugged into and no hum. It’s a weird... | |
| Specific Node/Airplay question If you have a ‘nice’ or somewhat ‘complete’ system, I feel everything still matters. I use an AppleTV to airplay a few SiriusXM channels from iPad. I’ve optimized this little arm of the system with an iFi spdif purifier, an EVP footer and a top w... | |
| DAC Help : Please Weight In - Down to 5 I own a Lampi Atlantic for years, owned the Termi twice (second version) and demoed the Aqua La Scala… The La Scala and the Lampi have a more organic flow of the music. The La Scala was the highest resolution. | |
| vibration control - cd player Be mindful and listen to bass exaggeration, tightness and speed when/if using rubber compounds for vibration control. Some sensitive and transparent systems can show rubber compounds as not always being the best choice. But some systems like that ... | |
| Ayre QX-5 Twenty ^^ That is one of the weirdest post I’ve ever seen on this site. But looks like lots of bad days in their posting history. Mojo Audio is a fine and known brand around here for many years. Lots of oddness in that one post, even for here. | |
| Rogue Audio hard to resell, has it fallen out of favor ? I have a friend that it just took 7months to sell a pretty popular LTA amplifier. Price was set ‘normal’, too. Used sales do also slow down in the winter. Spring and Fall are quicker selling times, in general. | |
| Ethernet cables Hey all, I’m going to be demoing a new DAC soon and wanted to get a ‘good or ‘ok’ ethernet cable 100 to 150 feet, to temporarily run from system down the stairs to the basement/router, for the 30day trial. I will have an electrician do an in-wal... | |
| Looking for decent DAC with volume control Playback Designs MPD8 or the MPD6 little brother. Very good vol control. |
