Power cable recommendation? Hadn't even thought about the ability to replace that. Slowing upgrading my power cables and moving to linear power supplies where possible, so curious what you went with.

I grabbed a used Audioquest NRG-2.

How does it compare to WireWorld power cables?

How does it compare to WireWorld power cables?

I haven’t tried their 2-prong power cables, but overall, I’ve found WireWorld cables make a larger order-of-magnitude improvement, and comparing 3-prong cables WW was a bigger improvement.

Thanks Dave - totally missed the 2 vs. 3 prong cable... <embarrassed>

Hi Dave: I have a different question. Do you know whether there are reviews of the upcoming Liquid Gold X out there in the wild yet? To be perfectly candid, this is also another way of asking whether you're planning a review of the unit as you did for the platinum and the Spark.

I would really like to know how different the Gold X sounds from te platinum so that I can make an informed decision as to whether to plan an early purchase of the x or just hold on to my LP for more further use.;;

I want to know more about Monoprice new Liquid Platinum with AKM 4499 than the new Liquid Gold X with AKM 4493. Pairing the new LP with their THX 887 is cheaper than a new Liquid Gold X.

My LP will go nowhere and I can't afford the amp but I'd like to stack that new LP dac with my amp. Either that or bifrost 2 ....

I'd love to review it. I need to catch up with @runeight

I just bought a LP. Many recommend using it with a preamp. Any issues with double amping? I temporary left the headphone game. I miss it so I bought a pair of HD800. I don't have a DAC yet only a Naim Uniti Atom which is driving speakers. The Atom has preamp outputs though.

I haven't had any problem setting my LP to about 50% on the dial and controlling the volume via my preamp, that setup should work great for you as long as the preamp outputs on the Atom are not fixed.

Cool. I'm going to try it first. Naim never release specs on the preamp section. Most use it with poweramps for speakers, but I assume it's not a fixed preamp.
