| Power cable Advice... Last week several Monosaudio 902 Power cables arrived for connection to power amps, Electrocompaniet AW250R and Accuphase P-4200 in bi-amp mode. I made a two outlet receptacle from two Furutech FP-SWS(G) into a PVC box with Furutech inlet cable, ... | |
| Accuphase, fuses @rfprice , just used XLR from the get go, due to inherent noise suppression. The 720 was delivered with a set of grey rca cables. | |
| Accuphase, fuses @blisshifi I would use the SR fuses but the website does not publish the fuse discrimination curves, so it's not possible to replace a SR fuse with the original. There's fast and slo, but that doesn't follow a standard and the cutoff times can var... | |
| Accuphase, fuses @rfprice , yes, I have a whole loom of the grey and blue cables XLR and RCA. The only cables I had before were the Oyaide Tunami Terzo series, not a supermarket here of cables to try out, the Accuphase were a level up in transparency. For the MM... | |
| Lumin Hifi Rose or Aurender Owning a Lumin U1 for a few years now, very happy with the resolution and reliability. If the Lumin doesn't work, it's a network problem, so look elsewhere. Only used the factory reset button once, very early in the setup stages where I goofed up ... | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @tksteingraber , the shipped rectifier tube with the Cabernet 6SN7 is from JJ Electronic (Slovenia) JJ GZ34 5AR4 is their ID. Many thanks for the list of choices...looks like the RCA are a good start. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @jslateiv , there is a difference now on the burning in process, now 48 hours in. An FM Tuner (Yamaha TD-500) is feeding the input and monitoring with SPL headphone amp, HD820. Power is raw house AC power, no special cabling on AC lines at all. In... | |
| Can LUMIN U2 do DSD gapless? Any Lumin can play gapless, it totally depends on the file quality and the player software. | |
| Supratek Owners Thread @tksteingraber, took delivery of Cabernet mid Nov 2023. The tubes that are fitted: 6SN7-SE (2) 6N3C (0384) (2) the 'N" looks like a russian n GZ345 Rectifier (1) The sound is a bit rough out of the box, letting it burn in from today for a we... | |
| Thoughts and perceptions on the sound quality of Accuphase Digital Products @chadsort , Accuphase does use off the shelf DAC chips, however quite a few in parallel to cancel out errors as the conversion is completed, plus a few other methods, see here on how this is accomplished. @garebear , it's unfortunate that in the... | |
| Eversolo DMP A6 The DMP-A6 is quite an attractive unit, very tempted to buy one. In looking at the DMP-A6 forum page at Zidoo, there are a few red flags that would stop the purchase. USB DAC compatibility There's no guarantee that your DAC will work with the DMP... | |
| Upsampling PCM or DSD in 2022 @reg19 how did you determine those settings? I asked Jussi many times years ago, never received an answer as to which filter or mod did what. Followed discussions at Audiophile Style, but no real clues. Although I do have a computer that's capabl... | |
| Upsampling PCM or DSD in 2022 @reg19 , yes finding that one setting was the undoing, could never find the right combo. Upsampled to DSD128, try this and that on headphones, took a few weeks of tweaking time. Spat the dummy one day just had enough. | |
| Upsampling PCM or DSD in 2022 @reg19 , therein lies the issue with HQPlayer, there are many choices of modulators and sampling rates to choose from. I found the process difficult to narrow down for all different types of music, there was no ‘one’ setting that a) worked for t... | |
