Maybe you could offer to do the hard yards and burn-in Pauls cable for him.

Hi Mani,

In your case it is the best not to try it at all.
What one doesn't know, can't harm.

Really ?? Hahahaha

Now test yourself.
But really, just don't get it.
More really, just don't get it.
Or get it just in case but don't try it.

Bzzzz
:-)

Peter, are your thoughts on the sound of the Lush dependent on it being connected to a Phisolator (or 3!), or is it still effective if connected directly to the NOS1's USB input C? If you are using a Phisolator, are you using the 'standard' short USB link between USB B and C on the NOS1? Have you tried a short Lush between B and C?

I'm in a position where I simply don't need a 'lusher' sound than I'm already getting (assuming I understood your initial description). I'm not using either of the Phisolators in my respective NOS1s (preferring instead to use Intonas) and I'm concerned that the Lush will take the sound in a direction I don't like. The Phisolator hasn't worked out for me, and I'm concerned that the Lush might not either.

Any advice on what I should do?

Mani.

I'm in
100cm for me too

Hi Peter -  070cm for me please

Cheers

WOW indeed...
 

Peter, 1m for me please. As I have to ship you the NOS1 for the Bass upgrade in two or three weeks you can ship back all together. I have the USB input in the back face of the dac leg, so maybe would be easier to make the Lush and the short one with the isolation you mentioned with my NOS1 there. Perhaps I'm a little confused about the short "loop through" cable and the other Lush one. That's why I'd rather that you make all together there. Of course I can pay for the cable now.

Regards,
Juan

What you see here is something I totally forgot to tell.

For the Lush to sound best, the USB power (5V) must be cut and you can do it at the A connector as you see above. However, this has not been tested "in general" - only with the NOS1a/G3. So ...

So what you really see above is the A connector of the short "loop through" cable which you will see stick out of the NOS1a/G3's left leg. Watch out : this can only be at that (short cable) position for the NOS1a/G3 because else the Phisolator (which is internal) is not powered and USB will not work at all.

Almost everybody who received the Clairixa also received such a small piece of tape. But it is easy to make yourself anyway. The most important part of it, is the part which folds to the bottom of the connector (not visible here) which allows for removal of the tape easily.

No matter how confusing it might be, try to keep in mind that the Lush cable itself has been explicitly made to deal with the 5V USB, which also is how NOS1a/G3 owners will use it. And I said explicitly (as in : don't use that and the cable will be out of "balance"). However, this does not mean that the NOS1a/G3 is at its best when that - behind the (Ph)isolator is fed with 5V, in this case.
Of course you can try it with the 5V, because nothing breaks. But if all is right, the sound will become very "tight" because of it, which is sort of the opposite of musical.

Hi Matt,


Why does this sound inappropriate to me ?

But for 37 euros you're the man (in the US of A). OK, for the shipping, I meant.
Invoice coming up later (shipment will be in a week anyway).

Thank you and regards,
Peter

Hi Peter
  I'll take 150cm Lush.  How much is shipping across the world?

Matt
