    Shunyata Everest 8000 + Omega XC vs Audience ar12-t4 + Front-row

    Hi everyone, I am thinking of getting a power conditioner for my whole system. Does anyone have an experience with these two conditioners? They are in similar price Everest 8000 + Omega XC vs ar12-t4 + Front-row, but ar12-t4 provides 6 more isolated sockets (Everest 8000 6 isolated zones). But...

    I have Vertere HBS and Vyda Orion silver cable and found Vyda is better with my N01XD. My Taiko server is coming in next 8 weeks (I hope), just thinking using Vertere HBS for it. However, Ben told me that I need a high current amp powercord to supply my Taiko server. Love to hear you are using...

    Reality is Cruel : Cybershaft new Ultimate OCXO 10M Clocks Shootout OP20 vs OP17

    Hi everyone, I have just brought OP21A-D and found there is an Output level switch; LOW: 1.6 Vp-p HIGH: 3.0 Vp-p (4 system common switching 50 ohm). I am not quite sure of the function/difference of both selections. I am going to connect it to N01XD. Please advise, thanks.

    Do you think the BNC cable makes a large difference?

    Reality is Cruel : Cybershaft new Ultimate OCXO 10M Clocks Shootout OP20 vs OP17

    Thanks your prompt reply! I would rank the Esoteric G1X and OP21E-D Cybershaft as comparable. <- It seems G01x and G02x not in the same level with OP21E-D if I understand correctly. Just to clarify, my dealer was just saying G02X maybe a better match than cybershaft ( I am not sure whether...

However, for the sound quality, dose OP21E-D provide a superior performance than G02x. My Esoteric dealer...
