    Melco S100/2

    Has anyone 'heard' one? I'm deliberating whether to buy a used S100 or whether the improvements are so staggering I should by the /2..

    Metronome Le Streamer

    Hey John, my daughter lives in Melbourne. I visited years ago and decided I could quite happily live there, too. What's 'good' and 'better', etc etc is all so subjective and dependent on so many different things, it comes down to only one in the end - personal preference. I found the MSB...

    SBooster BOTW ECO Mkll and Customer Care

    Absolutely - horrible compared to when powered by SBooster; harsher, thinner. With the power supply it becomes fuller, less harsh, bigger soundstage, more air, better imaging..

    SBooster BOTW ECO Mkll and Customer Care

    Yes - there are three settings - 5, 6 and 6.5.

    SBooster BOTW ECO Mkll and Customer Care

    SBooster do refer to their supplies as LPS in their brochure. Below, see page 2 and para' titled 'Why a Linear Power Supply from SBooster'. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/613f9ec23fd8f26b82f79ab2/t/61b8c483c16bdd4097c47fb1/1639498898723/Sbooster_MKII_brochure.pdf

    SBooster BOTW ECO Mkll and Customer Care

    Yes I get that, Steve. If Futureshop (and several other dealers) are mis-describing the unit then they’re breaking UK law. Which you’d think would be unlikely. But, you’re quite right that SBooster don’t refer to the unit as an LPS in the manual. So I’ve emailed them asking them to clarify. I’ll...

    SBooster BOTW ECO Mkll and Customer Care

    I used 6.5v. I couldn’t be without it now.

    SBooster BOTW ECO Mkll and Customer Care

    There are references to this excellent LPS peppered around WBF; I just wanted to briefly remark on my experience, which also included their service. I put an SBooster on a Matrix X-SPDIF Mkll, converting USB from a Melco unit to the i2s of my Metronome Le Dac 2. I'd already found the i2s...

    Speaker Jumpers - Bare Wire Improvements

    Hi DLS, superb cables, I'm sure. Thank you for the offer. Yes, being on Mud Island, with you Stateside, is a bit of a drag but let me send you a message; assuming I can work out how.. EDIT: Gryphon advise against Litz and co-ax' style speaker cables on their amps. By extension, I'd assume that...

    Thanks for the effort, Dave. Much appreciated. I am experimenting diagonals :) Yep, one pair of binding posts would be a joy!

    Oh, I understand - I will experiment with this, thanks.

    Speaker Jumpers - Bare Wire Improvements

    Indeed Thanks for the notes, Dave. Yes, the 'body' I refer to likely is actually detail-smearing 'warmth' because the detail and presence drops off; but I find the soundstage is more 3D with the OE plates. I prefer the presence and detail but don't like the perceived slight reduction in bass...

    Speaker Jumpers - Bare Wire Improvements

    I haven't. But I have, this morning, dropped the white cable onto the Low post per advice from Scalectric above. Very pleased to experience more air and dimensionality - or it might be the change back to OE plates. Should have tried the configuration while the silver cable was still in. When my...

    Speaker Jumpers - Bare Wire Improvements

    After more listening I find I won't keep the silver wire in place. In my set-up, whilst there's undeniably more presence in the room and more detail, the price of a slight loss in body in the mid bass region and the occasional slightly hot leading edge is enough to send me in a different...
