1) HiFi For Metal   2) Overland Park, KS   3) All kinds, I have a McCormick UDP-1 CD/DVD-A/SACD player, Esoteric SA-10 iDSD Micro, AKG k701, k7xx, Sennheiser 414, HD485, Goldring DR150, Sony pulse headphones. I have several amps to try out the preamp section Cayin a100t,  Bellas Mini...

Has anybody tried this in an audio interface yet? I would think that since many of those don't have great clocks and are powered by USB, this could be a really nice addition to a recording interface. I have tried it on my USB mic, and it definitely took away some audible noise with my USB cable...

Well iFi just released the Type A connecter IPurifier 2 which is designed to work in the iDSD without an adaptor. Music Direct just shipped mine they were not available until a few days ago. So If you haven't bought one yet just buy the Type A, but to answer your direct question some early...

Just downloaded it, I will give it a listen on my iDSD, I have an purifier 2 coming in the mail soon that has the type A connector, so I hope I will enjoy the 256 Album, I only have one 256 album which isn't recorded very well so I look forward to this one. Thank you So much iFi. 

I just wanted to comment on the forum, I have had the iFi iDSD Micro for about a year and just did the vanilla software update for Mac...and all I can say is wow! What did you guys do to it! the sound quality, musicality, PRAT, even ordered harmonics, imaging, and background noise all improved...

There really aren't any good stores in KC anymore for audio, especially headphones, but we could always do another meet.

I have found iOS7 sounds better overall, I have also tried it with the Mcintosh Audio AP1 app, XD music player and of course the native music app, All apps sound better, it does sound less congested, to my ears, without an amp. There is better sound staging and the high end is less harsh and my...

So are you saying Beat Audio cables are not your product line, but someone else's?   Also the other Unique Melody website has the Hera on there, but nothing about the connection to Valhalla   they have it at this link  ...

I am really curious about many of these cables, Also if ALO or other copmanies could custom make some cables, I do find these cables very interesting and might get them eventually because the prices look right.   ...

Hey guys This is Zack from Primus Audio Just wanted to let you know that the meet is happening tomorrow and here are general directions to get to the store. Map of 715 May St Ste 100 Kansas City, MO by MapQuest As you can see we from the map we are very close to highways 70 & 35 so making...

This is Zack From Primus Audio, The store is very flexible on times and can really accommodate almost any time, the main times that wouldn't work would be Saturday, and the middle of the day can sometimes get busy, but almost any other time would work and an early evening event time would...

Yeah I know this Thread is a little old, but I thought I would chime in. The DAC section of the i3.3 is Very Similar to that of the Sim Audio CD-1. I am a Sim Dealer and can tell you that the sound character of the DACs is very resolved with lots of air, low jitter, and great up-sampling...

You could also try these. Hovland Company: Products: MusiCap Capacitors

yeah, Most of the gear I have heard with the higher quality Vishay brand name resistors sound the best. In fact stepped ladder resister networks used for attenuation and volume control sound amazing on tube pre-amps. I also think Teflon caps are great as well, especially Auricap T. Solen caps...

I understand that you don't have a problem jarring power cables loose, but getting a positive connection does improve sound and IEC really has less of a positive connection, and less conductivity than powerCon. I also understand that the Melos doesn't run at 2OA, but having a wider current...

PowerCon Does a few things that most connections cannot offer. 1. It has a twist and lock design that makes it impossible to jar loose, this means it has a more positive connection than IEC. 2. From what many manufacturers who design power products have told me it actually maintains...

You may want to consider intsalling a nuetrik powercon to replace the IEC, It helps with power phase and factor a great deal and also is non current limiting.

I think many of you need to actually talk to some people in the industry about this subject, because I also had a similar discussion about this a few months back. First there are players that do have above 120db SNR, I know esoteric has several in their line up that are. In fact many of those...

yeah, I think that is the point. I personally like to listen to lyrics. There have been some songs that have gotten me through some tough times because the lyrical content resonated with what I was feeling. I would say it is good when music is vague enough to have perhaps two or three semantic...

I guess what I am hinting at is more synergy than anything. I am quite familiar with all of those tables, I also know that as far as isolation from mechanical noise the Technics is not even in the same league. That is why so many of the direct drive o'philes mod them to help with this, but I...
