| Battery powered front end While looking at the iFi DC Blocker, I found this: BRZHIFI PW3 2000W DC Blocking Filter It's ChiFi and available from Amazon. I ordered one. I'll update when it arrives. I can always return it if necessary. | |
| Battery powered front end @sid-hoff-frenchman I actually ordered an iFi DC blocker yesterday, then cancelled it because AI convinced me that it was the waveform and not actually DC that causes that buzz. But if it worked for you, maybe I'll give it a try. The buzz is b... | |
| Battery powered front end @ghdprentice Thanks for bringing my attention to possible issues. That's why I posted. FWIW, I have an iFi LAN filter in front of the Pulse and I'm running a fully balanced system. The LTA preamp SE output goes into the Schiit Nexus circuit an... | |
| Battery Power at a Price Point With the Ecoflow, it's seamless going between AC and battery. I just unplug the charger while listening and plug it back in when I finish. My components don't notice at all. I'm assuming the inverter switches on instantly. 10ms is the spec time. ... | |
| Battery Power at a Price Point A quick update. I tried plugging directly into the Ecoflow outlets. The good news is there is no inverter noise. The bad news is there are only 3 grounded outlets. I need 4. Back to the Furman, although I may try just a simple power strip with no ... | |
| A Good List of 'Top' Classical Pieces Two not mentioned: Liszt: Dantes Sonata Dvorak: Poetic Tone Pictures And for Beethoven Piano Sonatas, I prefer the Igor Levit full cycle. | |
| Battery Power at a Price Point I just began using battery power for my front end. Innuos Pulse, Bryston BDA3, LTA MZ2, and Schiit Kara. I'm using an Ecoflow Delta 3 Plus running into a Furman PL PRO C power conditioner. So far, it's working beautifully. Dead quiet. I'm drawin... | |

| Help! Treble Trouble! I would use an RTA app to check visually for HF rolloff. They're not that precise but good enough to show if there's a problem. Play some Pink Noise. There a numerous streaming releases for that. Hold up your phone and see what's happening. | |
| Clara Ponty's "re-imagined" Handel Emotional involvement is paramount for any music and that can be enough. I don’t dislike the simpler emotional stuff like this, but with classical I want to hear real artistic creativity in addition. I want to hear composition that requires some v... | |
| Clara Ponty's "re-imagined" Handel A lot of contemporary classical music is almost indistinguishable from New Age music. It's pleasant to listen to but not musically engaging. Reimagining Handel at least gives it a foundation in classical composition. But I prefer music that requir... | |
| Things you did not know about what is inside your speakers and the Huge markups With a lot of high end speakers, you're also paying for well crafted furniture. Anything designed to both sound great and look great takes a lot of talent. Great engineers, designers, craftsmen, and most of all, discerning ears all come at a price... | |
| Who do you turn to when you have the envies for funk? The Gap Band | |
| Altec N1500A crossover rebuild https://www.humblehomemadehifi.com/crossover.html I found this. | |
| Room treatment with acoustic panels Congratulations. I'd rather have mediocre gear in a well treated room than a million dollar system in a typical living room. When you can hear the timing information on the recording more than the reflections in your room, it's a whole different l... |
