I'm interested. I'll send you a PM

I'm using industrial spring feet, with some self adhesive rubber foam on top used on furniture feet to protect the underside of the equipment. I got the idea years ago after seeing townshend speaker platform and reading their marketing material. I just thought it works because it's based in...

Have to say the whole power supply and filtering side of things does feel like a slippery slope. Fortunately my wallet is putting the breaks on any further upgrades for a while. Ha

Hi, Well the LPS has arrived. I had made another post of my listening impressions of the unit after a day... A few days later, it's still the same but has started to settle down a bit with everything blending together nicely. Some photos. It's a nice little box to be fair though to be fair in...

I don't think it was out at the time. Also need to consider that these recent changes started with a spur of the moment decision to buy a used A6 ME and to scratch an upgrade itch. My original ideal position would be a Lumin U2 mini, but I didn't have the funds and the large one off outlay was...

I'm going to make a wild card suggestion here, how do you feel about DIY speakers particularly these ones. http://www.troelsgravesen.dk/AT-3WC.htm These are my current speakers that I've used for the last 8 years or so. The drivers and crossover components costs £3,362, plus VAT and postage...

I've never actually owned a Harbeth speaker, I just love how they sound everytime I hear them. From what I've read I only think their 40.2/3, model has enough bass to deliver rock/metal with impact. If you don't mind buying second hand 40.2 models come up occasionally for circa £5k. Graham...

I guess the exact solution does depend on the individual system. The A8 has both a LPS, powering the analogue output and a SMPS for the digital side. For myself, I'm using the SPDIF output, so the better clocks in the A6 ME are beneficial to me, they are the same used in the A8. So from my...

I'll just put the original power supply back in! and use the power supply for another piece of equipment.

Well I'm not using the internal dac.... And your assuming all LPS perform the same, I'm hoping this one is of a higher quality / performance. Those internal LPS don't provide enough power to run the full unit. You have to limit the screen brightness and I'm not sure they would run the memory...

I would audition Audiovector and Harbeth.

Hi, A while ago I posted if anyone had any experience with Fidelity Audio, well I decided to take the plunge and sent Brent my Eversolo unit to design a power supply around. I ended up purchasing his signature power supply at £1K. I did think is this OTT but thought I could always use it on...

Hi, One of the extension blocks arrived this morning. It's a metal case, which is quite heavy and inside all the wiring using cables and not bars which I believe is the same standard as any "audiophile, extension block. I just plan to clean the connections and I'm done. Cost me £28, which I...

Been posted, I'm not in a rush. Also bought a six plug one of the same manufacture that has a blue metal case. I got brasso and wd40 electrical contact cleaner on standby.... Other than that I'm not going to think much more about it. It's worth noting that they are £80+ new, so should be...

I bought one of them last week, waiting for it to arrive. Plan to clean the connections with some brasso and hopefully it will be fine .
