Hey Bert - Do you mean such a beast like e.g. Mani has ?


Something like that but smaller will do as well as long as you do not connect all your PC's to that one transformer... ;-)

I am using a 1000VA for both my PC's (and related switching adapters), one monitor and one Behringer.

And hey, before we think all is arranged for regarding that spitting, we better connect our monitors to such a LPSU as well.

Isolating transformer? Connect all noisy spitting stuff at the isolated end?

I have received about 7 of these from the same guy who wants to be friends. I never add friends this way and always send such messages (or any other unsolicited ones) directly to the trashcan without thinking twice.

Who needs social media to get real friends anyhow!

...especially combining with what I use today (Orlino Speakers) I now see the light and merit.

Are you not writing about the Orelino's?  Wink

I guess I'll have to come over again pretty soon to experience those things you are talking about...

I am pretty close to the final revised crossover for those Orelino's, no worries, these will not take away any of the ambiance but merely cleaning your glasses so that you can see through clearly...  Happy

A little note from the x-fi show today!


Thanks for that Paul! For comments I leave things to Peter as I can't follow him as quickly and therefore very little monitored or corrected if needed...

I am not a man of so many words so to speak. ;-)

Mani,

Your Swings contain 2x15" drivers. Per side that is. Happy
Just in case you don't know ...

Peter


Nope, just one driver is used in the later Swings and which is the situation at Mani's.

Could you give some more information on your new power cords?

Hi Stanley,

Just read through that topic further down.

Cheers,

Bert, are you still on Windows 8 ?

No, no...back to W7 long time ago. I will update my signature... ;-)

Checked the mailbox 2 times today, but nothing.

I received mine 2 days ago... apperently the Pro version too despite the picture showing the normal version. I have the nice brown resistors on it...!

Plugged it in yesterday and I can't hear any difference on top of the major differences I am still hearing with the renewed power cords...

It did not made it worse!

Perhaps I am doing too many things in one go but I have a big smile on my face all the time anyhow! ;-)

There isn't any information but the technique used is similar to the cable shown through the link you've provided. Both that and the Litze made the difference here in my system.

Additionally I have to inform that the way the wires are twisted that they have almost NO outside radiation pattern themselves negatively influencing interconnects or other "sensitive" spots. Its all cancelled out...

do you know where to buy Litze? When googling around only wholesale companies showed up.

No, I am looking for an independent source just as well.

The supplier of the wire I am using here has to remain unknown to the "crowd".

Let me know if you can find any reliable source!

Bert - where can I find information on how to build the Litze cables?.

There isn't any information but the technique used is similar to the cable shown through the link you've provided. Both that and the Litze made the difference here in my system.

I am going to exchange ALL power cords for these ones.

Btw, I bought some years ago the Shunyata Anaconda power cord ($2.000) and I ended up selling it pretty soon because it was filtering the sound making it lifeless and anemic with a blurred bass.

I was using for a long time cables doing exactly that as I recently found out (not cheap either!). I am now using DIY power cords using Litze (independend isolated strands!) and wow!

Not just more alive, much cleaner with a LOT more details and a tighter bass but also a much better holographic stereo image. I can sit at the most left and still hear the image in the center!

Bigger changes for the better in my system than the latest XX updates...
