    Good mid-price audiophile switches

    Beautiful set up! I'll be ordering my Ediscreation Switch in the Spring to compliment my Firebox II. I sure hope adding the switch will improve matters even more.

    Good mid-price audiophile switches

    Good mid-price audiophile switches

    Can either markramler or someone else let me know if they've ever auditioned the Ediscreation Fiber Box II with the Ediscreation's Silent Switch OCXO, and just with the Fiber Box II? My Fiber Box is currently being assembled and am not sure if getting the Silent Switch will bring negligible...

The Torus will isolate these devices and block noise from coming in from outside the system but it won't help with component-to-component interference like a...

    Spectral 30 SV Series 2 auditions?

    Forgot to mention that the power cord from the amp and the distribution box need to plugged into the same ac receptacle.

    Spectral 30 SV Series 2 auditions?

    Actually, it seems pretty straight forward. This is from the dealer and Spectral. Plug the Spectral amp directly into the wall with a Synergistic Research Quantum Ground Lifter. All other components can be plugged into a non-filtered distribution box that is star wired internally. I've added...

    Toronto Audiofest 2021

    You had a very musical and revealing room. You and your colleagues were also very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the engineering behind your components. A well put together room. Congrats!
