Having spent a happy few hours now playing about with this test rig I've come to some interesting conlusions:
(what follows is highly subjective, based on my gear, my ears and my preferences - YMMV) 1) stock SMPS vs Linear PSU - no audible difference at all to digital replay 2) wired sb (no wi-fi card) vs wireless SB(operated in wired mode) - no difference at all to digital replay 3) wired sb vs wi-fi SB - no difference at all to digital replay 4) Blue Jeans coax ($18) vs 1m Kimber D-60 ($200) - Blue Jeans wins easily in terms of seperation/soundstaging and upper-mid/top end "lack of grain". 5) 1 metre D-60 better than 0.5m D-60 Not what I was expecting at all! -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...SB3+Stontronics PSU - Altmann JISCO/UPCI - TACT 2.2X (Linear PSU) + Good Vibrations S/W - MF Triplethreat(Audiocom full mods)- Linn 5103 - Aktiv 5.1 system (6x LK140's, ESPEK/TRIKAN/KATAN/SEIZMIK 10.5), Townsend Supertweeters, Kimber & Chord cables Outdoors: Boombox+Creative Sub (If I remember to turn it on...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54197 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
