Recently recieived my Core Audio racks from Core Audio founder and craftsman, Arnold Marr.
Here's some info on these superb audio racks, crafted by hand:
PlyKraft Platform
The new plyKraft platform is composed of domestic high density FSC & CARB certified Apple-Ply. The massive 2” Apple-Ply...
The Denali 6000v2 Specifications table specifies there are 6 zones of isolation on the Denali 6000 v2. This is also unambiguously specified on the Denali 6000v2 product web page: https://shorturl.at/gnIO7
"Design advances within include objectively lowered noise, 6 zones of isolation and...
Zeotrope and the Shunyata roadmap is correct. If the IEC receptacle only has two prongs, and no "ground pin", then you should not connect that device to an Altaira or Gemini ground terminal. The Altaira "roadmap" was written for a reason, so that end-users can determine if, and if they can, then...
No worries.
Those who know what this preamp is, how beautifully designed, engineered, and crafted it is, and how capable it is in providing a beguiling and engaging musical experience...know. And, ultimately, isn't that what it's all about?
Cheers, and as Hans Beekhuizen says..."Enjoy the...
None of those preamps are of the same model, nor the same level of engineering specification, of the First Sound preamplifier I'm selling. Those are older models and have only a single external power supply. Moreover, the last model listed is a passive preamp, so it's not pertinent to the...
It's an incredible preamp, the best I've ever heard. And, no, there are not a lot of them for sale on the used market. In point of fact, you hardly ever see them up for sale, and the reason is because their owners, like Bob, are very happy with them.
Those who know....know.
Thanks for the...
It's very common behavior on male-dominated internet forums. We've all encountered it before, as you know, Bob. And, it doesn't matter if it's audio gear, cameras, sport bikes, sports cars...it's all the same behavior. If you stated "f=ma", some guy will give you an argument about it. I just...
My hypothesis is #2 would. But, why not "be like a scientist" and do a "controlled experiment" to find out?
Try both, and listen for what sounds best. Whatever you like best...go with that.
I think it’s important to understand that not just the LPS for digital-domain devices, but the power supplies inside our “analog” amplification components themselves can, and usually do, contribute a significant amount of noise to our stereo systems. A principal contributor of noise are the...
Normally, I would never part with mine, but I've just gotten to a place where I really need to have the simplest system set-up possible. Part of this is due to the challenges I had with other components (e.g. my SOtM network bridge) that I was using in my system at the time and my network, where...
I think my First Sound is the finest standalone preamp I've ever heard. I agree they are an end-game preamp.
That said, I also plan on selling mine, as I recently bought a really nice integrated amp, and I'm going to stay with that. It just allows for a much simpler set-up. I only need one PC...
