    Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback

    Yes, I read the bolder narrative when you posted it but it seemed inconsistent with #19,346 and others from the old thread so it was hard to reconcile #84 with prior posts there. Thank you for clarifying.

    Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback

    If we keep our Extreme and purchase the Olympus I/O, can the now-AC-powered Extreme be converted to DC-powered? If so, how would that be done?

    Furutech makes a cable riser / booster which would address that if there is adequate space on the platform or shelf. Others may also. https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/power-cable-lifts-risers-etc.35563/

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    I started using a fan in connection with posts 16,289 and 16,302. It is not coming in contact with the Extreme, is 2 1/2” below it on a wood platform, and plugged into a non-audio outlet. Haven’t experimented with and without yet, only with.

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    That’s been my experience if there is too much damping. In my setup, one or two brass triple point heavy hats that each weigh 23.8 oz. sounds a bit better, but YMMV. Three seems too many, but I am still experimenting. I was mainly asking if reduced air circulation could be a concern, but with...

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Any guidelines regarding vibration-control weights to put on top of the Extreme? Also, will vibration be lower once a BPS is in use, reducing any upside on such a tweak? I have had success with Mapleshade brass heavy hats on other gear, but am not sure if because of air circulation that isn’t...

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    I would think the digital interface would be powered internally by the BPS the same way as a USB card this not need a DC jack, unless I misunderstood your post?

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    I have 1.75” clearance between my rug and the bottom of the Extreme, and the fan is only 1” thick. The sound of the fan should be lower underneath, if it moves enough air from there to matter. My footers are Townshend Pods, ergo the height.
