Re: Is Audioshark the most civil audio forum out there?
Great forum. Some good, smart people. I consider myself fortunate to be a member. My only complaints are two (all completely imo of course):
1) There is a wide crevasse between the incivility that... -

Re: Devialet mercilessly beats Magico into submission
Um excuse me, are you implying that anorexic people who think they are fat are not indeed fat? That sounds like bigotry. Shame on you Mark. You are not my friend anymore.

Re: Regenerators vs. Conditioners
As the measurements below indicate the cleanup of common and differential mode line noise is within the margin of error of the measuring device (i.e., immeasurable). I would suspect both units do a...

Re: Regenerators vs. Conditioners
Ralph Karsten is one smart guy and I agree with his comment I put in bold above. These units are very similar to what Torus does with NBT in their wall mount units to isolate, regulate voltage and...

Re: Ayre KX-5 Twenty and VX-5 Twenty combo ......
True dat. That might be the highest input impedance I have ever seen. If you want a tube pre it may not get any better. You could drive that with a flashlight bulb.

Thats pretty cool. How does it work? I have heard the Shunyatta and Ansuz plug-ins are good but I have never really understood how they work.

Re: Furutech Nanoflux

I look to the Furutech connector products mainly for reduced impedance to improve instantaneous current and also for there damping. I would not expect line noise reduction... -

Re: Furutech Nanoflux
As far as instantaneous current goes, the best analytic I have seen is the DTCD stuff that Caelin Gabriel does at Sunyatta. He certainly is a big proponent for instantaneous current and its impact on...

Re: Furutech Nanoflux
Mike, imo its a lot more than just getting clean power at the source. I consider there to be four remaining keys to power:
1) an overabundance of instantaneous current (i.e., over sizing your... -

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
