A:, B:
(nothing connected)
Btw, this is not necessarily a "best" configuration, but I personally like it very much as it shows the character of the Blumenhofer Concert X speaker (which I like for its special sound).
It comes down to a not so enormously extending highs, and as I said elsewhere, the general sound of cymbals go in the direction of hitting a closed hi-hat (or maybe just-not closed). This, while the great detail remains.

I think this is a configuration one likes, or not. I'll add to this that this should be a configuration with a character, hence which is not really neutral (to my ears).

Hi there Arvind,

As you may recall (?) connecting the Audio PC to the switch is not a good idea for SQ at all (Audio PC should directly connect to Music Server PC). So there it actually starts.

Next, all I can really tell that the happy few who own *and* an ET^2 *and an ET^3 like the ET^3 for the better. But point here is : How is it used. And this is so different for everybody.

I use an ET^2 between the Mach III and the Music Server PC. It helps SQ greatly (as usual it beats me why). I never granted myself an ET^3, so about the difference in that place I can not tell.
I have a normal 1$ cable between the Music Server PC and the switch, because I don't think it can matter. Bbbut ... there ever back was a time that I did not believe in $$$ USB cables as well. And look what came from that.

So all I can give you for an honest answer is that the ET^ surely helps between Audio PC and Music Server PC. That's all.
I tend to add that the ET^3 should sound better again, because it plainly *is* better (more shielding again and otherwise more configuration possibilities.

Hopefully this helps you a little ?
Kind regards,
Peter

Thank you so much for this effort, Kenny. I will surely go through those I did not know yet !

Best regards,
Peter

Hahaha, thank you Kenny.

Kenny, man, what a nice story that is ! I really loved reading it.
Btw, you should allow yourself to paste literally what you wrote to me by email. As great and such a good laugh !

It is like Robert told - there are more above 60 in here. Actually I'd say that by now we are *all* above 60, apart from one or two perhaps.  Old

Maybe it deserves extra praise that you not only went for the Lush^3 instead of new speakers, but two months earlier you also went for the Lush^2.
So Kenny, thank you for the great trust.

Kind regards,
Peter

Correct. The Clairixa was even officially shipped with isolative pads for those who thought that worked out for the better.
Happy

The Lush cables (all versions) have been quite explicitly designed not to be bothered by 5V usage or not.

Hi Arvind,

I am not aware of any requirement to isolate the 5V for any Lush cable ?
That would not even be possible for NOS1a/G3 customers, because the Phisolator uses the 5V from USB. Of course you can isolate the 5V but then you'd have to use the U input of your NOS1a/G3.

Kind regards,
Peter

Hi Ramesh,

This seems very odd indeed. Especially this part is speaking :

Quote
I am not prompted for a new login to Tidal, and no new TidalSession.dat file is created.

... This seems like some quirk from an other direction ?

Thank you for sharing this. If others experience similar, I hope they step forward.

Kind regards,
Peter

I'll keep that one in mind for tonight (on I Love Everybody).
Thank you John.

Hi there Paul,

Yesterday, thinking of you, I played a lot of the "UK" stuff we have been talking about in the past. Elvis Costello. Ian Dury / Blockheads. Iggy Pop. The latter not British of course, but I am referring to Punk.
I suppose you already tried it ? But anyway, I somehow felt that this suddenly all should come together, and it does ! Beautiful quality, even from Lust for Life.
So it's all this native "sound", like Punk now suddenly rendered so well !

Kind regards and thanks,
Peter

Thank you John.

Meanwhile I have been listening to
A: B-W-G, B: B-W-G
for two days (starting Oct 9, 2020). I did not encounter any annoyances, probably less than the bespoke previous two (that one plus its opposite).

But then I was handed this one, from someone off-line :
A: W-Y-R-G, B: W-Y-R
and these were my initial remarks :

I think it is a WOW. Highs (cymbals) are the best with colors. Also a mighty interesting sound. So realistic.
Skins of drums … also a WOW. So soft, so nicely developed. So colorful.

This configuration seems to beat all for the lacking of distortion. And Yes, isn't this a new phenomenon : judging USB cables on their amount of distortion ...

The strange this is and remains that instead of being easily able to point out where the cable (a config of it) is good at, it now comes down to determining the least "distorting" config. And mind you, I think I said so from day-1. "Which config shows the least annoyance". I suppose this can be related to the enormous step forward compared to the Lush^2 and that we could be completely overwhelmed by al the novelties and this still ab-nor-mal extra detail and sounds now coming forward. I myself am just too flabbergasted to pick out what's the best, BUT I can detect small annoyances.

Can you guys please try this and give your feedback ?

Peter

Hello Tore,

You are of course correct, if we'd read from left to right. But since the last 3 pins are a different section of the connector, it is easier for me to start at the outside again. So I need to connect R to G in that section. Then I first use the "first pin" (which is the outermost) and connect R to that, and then the second pin and connect G to that.

Similarly you could have told that R should have been connected to pin 5 and G to pin 6 (leaving pin 7 blank).
But it is all the same ...

Another explanation would be :
This is indeed how I connect the wires (start at the outside). Now I listen to that for a day and someone asks me to make a picture of it. What shall I do ? Twist it around just for the picture with the chance it may sound different, and listen an other day first ?
nea
So just to be 100% sure, this is what I listen to, so I make a picture of that.

Best regards,
Peter
