    What exactly do ferrite cores do?

    Chord Mojo(1) DAC-amp ☆★►FAQ in 3rd post!◄★☆

    Thank you very much! I have added a Jitterbug to the USB connection to the computer but I don't know if that will address the galvanic isolation issue. I am listening to the Mojo directly to the Parasound amp as I write this, per your suggestion, and it does sound much cleaner and transparent...

    Decware CSP2+ vs WA2/WA3 vs Bottlehead Crack OTL w/ Speedball for Beyer T1

    So did you like the Decware CSP 2 better or the WA 2? They cost the same now. And as preamp which one did you like best?

    Output Transformerless vs Transformer Coupled Output Tube Amps

    Oh another fellow anti-capacitor OCD! This is my amp with only ONE high-end Jupiter Beeswax II or Teflon V Cap capacitor in the signal path, of course its a single ended triode. BEHOLD: The Zen Integrated from Decware!! 6 glorious watts per channel!   http://www.decware.com/newsite/SE34I.htm...
