    Torus Power - Seeking Technical and User Feedback on Torus NBT Technology

    I've read nothing but good things from people using Torus power conditioners. In some of my early systems, I used BPT power conditioners, which also rely on massive transformers but use balanced power technology, where Torus uses their Narrow Bandwidth Technology. I noticed with balanced power...

    How to Play Tidal on Innuos?

    Can anyone explain how you're playing Tidal on Innuos/Squeezebox? I've been trying to set up Tidal to play on Innuos but the setup is not as straight-forward as I would like. As far as I can tell, the only option to control Tidal is an Android app like Orange Squeeze (I don't have an iPhone). I...

    Inverse RIAA File for Phonostage Burn-in - Where to find one?

    In the past, I've used an Isotek burn-in file from a DAC to burn-in phonostage components. I've read on forums that this can be done with an inverse RIAA file. Any thoughts on this and where one can be found?

    Wolf Audio - What do you think?

    I've been looking at adding Wolf Audio Systems to our product lineup at Jaguar Audio Design. I'm certainly impressed by how well the company is run.

    Where Does Balance Power Work Best?

    Several years ago, I had some systems that sounded amazing with balanced power. Then I tried a BPT Signature with a First Watt amp and it was absolutely lethargic (I think it had an 80lb Plitron transformer). I wonder if you all would offer some advice when using units of this size, what kind of...

    Cable Burn-in Devices - Looking for Recommendations

    I'm looking for recommendations on devices to speed up the burn-in on cables (Power, Interconnect, Speaker). Even better if it's something that can work on components and speakers; so far the only thing I've ever encountered in that area are the break-in playback files. The Hagerman FryBaby...

    Akiko Audio is just releasing a new power conditioning device, called the Corelli Power Conditioner. The unit is similar to the Shunyata Typhon, in that it's not also a power distributor (it has no outlets), it plugs directly into your mains outlet or an outlet of your power distribution device.

    Windows 8 - NOT an Audio Bust

    This is to correct my prior thread. I had been doing some work with Windows 8.1 for the upcoming Jaguar music server product. I held off on Win 8, because nobody liked the interface for a desktop machine, but 8.1 corrected that problem a bit. After a few evenings of optimizing the OS I...
