    By juice I also mean grip and control, not only power One of the speakers I had with the Diablo 300 was the magico A3 and it couldn't control the bass 100%. Jumping to the Humboldt made it very obvious.

    Wilson Audio Sasha V

    The difference between the old Diablo and the Humboldt was huge. As for the price difference, the new Diablo is 25k$, I think the market for a second hand Humboldt in Europe is around 30k euros. I'm actually selling mine since I moved and will build a new system from scratch, probably with the...

    Wilson Audio Sasha V

    I don’t think the Diablo 333 will be refined enough and have enough juice for the Sasha. if you want a cool integrated I’d look at the audionet Humboldt, I think it would be a good match, very liquid and very low noise, very detailed without imposing it.I had the Diablo 300 and upgraded to the...

    Super3 - a supercapacitor LPS, by Farad Power Supplies

    Apparently the issue is with the dealer and not with Farad. Lead times seem to be about 2 weeks at the moment. Has anyone tried one yet and can report?

    Isolation Transformer and Balanced Power versus PS Audio Regenerator

    Has anyone tester the plixir elite with the EMI meter? I just tested the Cube, not the elite. The Torus was doing a decent job.

    Adding an EMC/EMI filter to my Farad Super3 Linear power supply

    Have you tried connecting the ground? or it's not necessary? Did you make the starquad yourself? I'm thinking of using the Canare 4S11 https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/bi-wiring-amping/canare-4s11-star-quad-speaker-cable-copper-4x208mm-o107mm-p-11708.html Are you also happy with the Viborg plug...

    Isolation Transformer and Balanced Power versus PS Audio Regenerator

    Thank you, it is helpful . I checked this one out, and I wonder how it compares with plixir elite, both of them being symmetrical types of power supplies.

    Isolation Transformer and Balanced Power versus PS Audio Regenerator

    I have two dedicated lines coming direct from the meter. I used to have a double furutech wall socket but I now terminated each line with a furutech fi 50 iec plug, like this I get rid of the wall socket and 2 power cords and I found it to be sonically better. One line goes into my audionet...
