Musical Fidelity V-Can Headphone Amp
I'm finding as the unit continues to break-in the sound quality is improving. However, yes, the unit does sound a bit shrill. I'm going to give it about 150 hours to break in, which was suggested on another thread. Lastly, my dealer said a new upg...

My appologies. My intent was to share the crazy trap I fell in and coined it an addiction, rather, is more of an obsession, spending the majority of my weekends in my "man cave" as some have coined just wasting huge amounts of time trying to squee...

Enjoy your music followed by your equipment in reasonable moderation, it is a great hobby. Keep it in perspective and perhaps even give yourself a time constraint. There are other more important priorities and if you don't know what they are, you ... 
Musical Fidelity V-Can Headphone Amp
I'm not sure what the load is with the Sennheiser is, I could measure it, but to what avail, I just need to get used to the pot and be careful. Dealing with 1/8 turn I would imagine frustrating. However, as I'm putting hours on the V-CAN it is sta... 
Musical Fidelity V-Can Headphone Amp
Yes, I noticed the volume control would first bring in the right channel slightly before the left and I've learned this is normal. And yes, secondly, with my Sennheiser's, the volume would go from silence to screaming with a quarter turn of the vo...

I think the best medicine for an Audiophile is to spend their money on music, be happy with their system as there comes a point of lower return and just get your mind off the equipments faults and enjoy the music. I have some friends who are talen... 
Has anyone tried the Shunyata Diamondback PC?
In my system I tried the Diamondbacks and was not impressed and I gave the cable about 300 hours of break-in. First, though they may have their merits, the connectors were average at best. I tried other cables fro big names and found the Nordost M... 
Has anyone tried the Shunyata Diamondback PC?
Thanks to all who have responded..I have heard these cords serve well in video applications, even my dealer suggested I try them on my plasma, (that's not the response I was seeking). Anyway, as the cables continue to break in they are sounding be...

Anyone have experience with this cable in their audio system?Thanks! 
Ferrite Chokes on ALL pwer cables-bad?
MY IC's, with the exception of my Digital IC are all unshielded; Kimber KS1021 and Silver streak.I removed all of the chokes and the sound improved a great deal, I'm not sure why I installed them in the first place.Thank you to everyone :)Rpg 
Ferrite Chokes on ALL pwer cables-bad?
I have a dedicated line for my system, high quality Hospital grade isolated ground outlet. I'm thinking, as I have a power conditioner that all my gear plugs into, to start over and observe one at a time as I add chokes which ones help vs which on... 
Wadia ITransport
The noise progressed, and my dealer replaced the unit and then the noise was gone. Additionally, if you have $279 burning in your pocket, the CIAUDIO power supply made a marked improvement in many areas of sound quality, the most remarkable of whi... 
Wadia ITransport
Talked to Wadia about very slight distortion in the sound of my 170iTransport, (very slight distortion but distortion all the same). Wadia said to keep the price of the product as low as possible, they used a lower quality power supply and suggest... 
Recommend a cd player
Cambridge Audio Azure 840C for $1600 retail, read the reviews.One note, this player deserves good cables, I am using a set of single ended Kimber KS1021's which replaced a set of Kimber Silver Streaks, quite the improvement. I found them on Audiog... 
Very slight "Hiss"
Thank you Chatta. From a normal listening distance as opposed to pressing my ear right up to the speaker the hiss is completely inaudible. I was holding my ear about an inch from the tweeter and only at this distance could I hear hiss. There is no...
