    Can a Linear Power Supply Inject Noise Into its AC Circuit?

    There are many variables and not everyone experiences the same thing. That keeps the hobby alive. The power supplies I use are DIY. The LPS build-up is similar to the Zero Zone. For the SMPS, I used MW IRM-30 modules with primary and secondary filtering. In both situations, the housing is...

    Can a Linear Power Supply Inject Noise Into its AC Circuit?

    After years of using an LPS to power my switches (because I thought they were cleaner), I recently switched back to a decent SMPS. I was shocked by the improvement in SQ. It's like waking up from hibernation. I was triggered by reading experiences and the comments of Jaap Veenstra of Alpha...

    iFi Audio LAN iSilencer - The Official Thread

    Well noted. Delay line, Tesla coil filter (like Ansuz use) Am curious, too. A fellow PCB designer told me that this is signal timing.

    What DACs are you using with your K50 ?

    I am using my K50 (v2) with the PSaudio Directstream (upgraded). Connected by I2S Audioquest. Very satisfied with this combo. No immediate plans to upgrade the DAC. But a Playback Design is on the wish list ;-).

    iFi Audio LAN iSilencer - The Official Thread

    I now use an iFi Audio LAN iSilencer instead of a fiber optic setup. Incredible upgrade for very little money. The quietness in the sound is sublime. And increased even further when using 2 pieces of iFi Audio LAN iSilencer at strategic locations.

    DaaDs - any experiences?

    I use DAAD 4 twice and DAAD 2 twice. One DAAD 4 in each front corner. 1 * DAAD 2 in the middle between the speakers at 5 feet height. And one DAAD 2 behind the listening chair. With this I create a "Be there" sound. The ideal thing about DAADs is that you can tune! Diffuse/absorb.

    New Spectral SDR 4000SV S2

    It seems Spectral is becoming unaffordable in Europe. You can therefore see that the number of dealers is decreasing very rapidly. So I think the brand, like Avalon, will soon disappear from the European market.

    Introduction of my new Antipodes K50 Music Server

    Did you try a reboot of Roon and the K50? I had that issue in the past after an update.

    I have experienced something similar in the past and the cause was indeed a capacitor.

    Spectral DMA 150 Upgrade

    Hi Jon, I did make a stupid Fuse change in my DMC30-SS. Replaced the stock fuse by a SR blue fuse a few years ago. I was iritated by the sibilance in a lot of my records. Forgotten about the fuse change till yesterday. Replaced the SR fuse by the stock fuse and that helps a lot. Don't ask...
