Well.... I run a mixing/mastering studio and went full deep with solving the power situation. Brought many conditioners and things from various manufacturers and the conclusion of my research was: > Power Conditioners use MOVs and Chokes to clean the sound and those take away from the solidity...

google knauff acoustic panel... your dealers will show

@fredeb had MK3...

Had one on demo to power LCD3/HD800... not worth it imo. Never confident at any level... tube sound should be gauged as tube buffer... no drive.

I can hear the differences quite well. I just don't think the difference is an improvement as such. All the cables I've tested seem to impress you when you don't actually know how music is supposed to sound. Luckily I record and am quite sure of what I hear in the room vs on the record. So like...

@sailor Most of these high grade cables seem to present the same performance promises but then which one of them gets it? They sure do sound very different from each other. My thing is all this better sonic impression is great for the demo at the dealer but taken along for a few months the...

The PS Audio is really good. No phase shift and no performance. Just more dimension. What it does no other can. I shot it out against many power solutions which had far too many drawbacks. I want an honest system. I want to hear music and not the system. This goes in that direction.

Hi @sailor, Happy new year to you too! Well let's see if I can describe this further. Contextually I've had cables from Furutech, Oyaide, Kimber, Puritan and a couple more.... interconnects and power. I've critically auditioned many cables to find the so called best and like I described...

Yeah I'm with it guys. Tidal is not yet there. I do however see improvements as they go. Unfortunately you need to inject your tastes some more for it to start suggesting better. I skip a lot but when I find something, it is usually worth the game. Even though Spotify is better on almost...

It's cool to like the smeared stuff... there's a place for it...to go down that road for "Accuracy" or a "better" system is what I think should be done with caution and awareness. Especially looking out for dynamic restrictions.

my approach has been to go to daily discovery once a day and find song by song suggestions. Then it also automatically creates a music mix playlist for you, which you can discover new songs in. Albums are hits and misses and so I only look at the singles and maybe then go listen to the album...

Some are a miss for sure... I'm finding that the more I add to my playlists and taste choices, the suggestions are improving, even throwing me on other playlists with similar tracks

The way people ignore transient smearing... no system with esoteric cables has accurate sonic image proportions that are fine... they come through as bigger low end, wider soundstage and unnaturally holographic images but the relationship between sounds suffers because of cables... I eventually...

I wish I'd have bought non delta sigma dacs :sick:

I don't even speak on new gear any more to my lady. Her disinterest happened long ago when I used to say "I'm done, last thing". These days I take it as a personal thing. Hardly letting anyone know what's new and discovered. It's always been MY thing anyways

They dying of Roon. Such conglomerates have a way of ruining products. It's likely they will stop making it accessible to people

being a guy who buys a lot from online (USD/POUNDS) I've had to spend upwards of 10k just to get the stuff I wanted which i had been waiting for, for about a year thinking I'll take a hold of the savings on BF. Little did i know that the value perception would've gone down so much. It's hightime...

The algos will definitely get better refined. I'm enjoying more unknown music because of it. No more charts for discovery.

It's already doing that by adding suggestions on Tidal/Spotify... based on the metadata the songs share
