    Interlinks don’t do anything! Or do they? 32 rca cables analyzed

    Ditto. Whisper is fully balanced, as is my Arcam streamer. And I run them via XLR into the two balanced input channels of the Predator. The 6db volume gain is good, but the sound quality is just generally better to my ears. The synergy between Whisper and Predator is great in balanced...

    Do you power condition?

    Sorry about the gabby. Trying to refine the summations would've taken hours, and it was good enough, I thought, to at least give a view on both sides. Thank you also for a thoughtful reply. It honestly does make sense. And I don't have the knowledge to explain what I observed. Other than I do...

    Do you power condition?

    Wait... so we have this, which myself and clearly others have found deeply offensive. Which @Kemosabe then defended as a "funny turn of phrase". The "funny turn of phrase" directly compared the responses here to the treatment of sexual abuse in minor children. And you referred to it as a...

    Do you power condition?

    So let's respond to this then. It's going to be a long post, but I'll summarize the approach here: 1) Multiple users have reported similar observations in this very thread (myself, @Ravenflight , @TimbaLand ) 2) Similar phenomena are well documented across other online sources. Therefore, this...

    Do you power condition?

    1) I made no reference to you when I used the term. Read it again. 2) That is EXACTLY what you implied. What on earth did you even mean by that statement if it was not to imply that observations made here are wrong and just because others note the same, they are still wrong? Ironically, the OP...

    Do you power condition?

    You find sexual abuse funny? Firstly, I didn't use the term "prick", I used the term "sanctimonious prick". Here is a handy definition of the term: A "sanctimonious prick" is a slang and derogatory term used to describe someone who is self-righteously moralistic and arrogant, often in a...

    Do you power condition?

    Why so adversarial? On this thread, real-life observations have been made about the behaviour of particular equipment. By myself, and also by many others. @Ravenflight reported the same, also noted by his customers and even his son. You and your pseudo-science fundamentalist buddies have NOT...

    Do you power condition?

    So let me get this straight. You are basically equating observations and experiences of many members of this forum, which are also echoed by many users online, let alone reviewers of this equipment, to ignorant flat-earth believers and anti-science Americans? I am not even going to validate it...

    Subwoofer gain/volume/level on a preamp through second pre-out

    Some Advice/Thoughts Please

    This. All I would add, is that it looks (on paper) as if the Denon was designed as a network media player that happens to have a variable output. The Emotiva appears to be designed as a DAC and digital pre-amp. It (the Emotiva) has a good quality volume control and the choice of RCA and XLR...

    Very cool pics! You have to tell us what was in the black bag... Now let's sit back and hear how all the recipients of the cable upgrades could not have possibly heard an actual improvement but were actually victims of confirmation bias. 🤦‍♂️

    I’ll bite… late afternoon pics of my joy machine. Late 80’s Linn Sondek, featuring original lid, afromosia plinth and platter. As for the rest: Cirkus bearing, Hercules power supply, top plate and chassis were upgraded with help from Rudi, Dewaudio bottom plate. Ekos tonearm and Ortofon...

    MC cartridge

    Also get in touch with the dealer where you bought it. Ortofon used to have a program where you could get 40% discount if you traded in a damaged MC cart. Came in very handy when my offspring broke off the stylus.

    This post about people not posting is making it even less attractive for would-be posters to post.

    Subwoofer gain/volume/level on a preamp through second pre-out

    https://avinside.co.za/advert/velodyne-cht-10r-active-subwoofer/ https://avinside.co.za/advert/bowers-and-wilkens-as6-subwoofer/ Both of these have speaker terminals. The Velodyne appears to go a bit lower.

    Subwoofer gain/volume/level on a preamp through second pre-out

    Look for one that has speaker terminals, then you can connect to the power amp.

    Subwoofer gain/volume/level on a preamp through second pre-out

    Good point. I checked the speakers’ -6db, but not the sub. Really seems like this particular sub is not best for this application.
