    Time to play with settings some more on the DAC and Server. The meat of the sound is already there. Like installing speakers, having two people makes it easier to hear things as it occurs versus running back and forth. On the DAC 4V does seem to be best, now for impedance which is...

    Which cables and power cords ?

    There are several good brands out there, all at different price points. I would start with the more established brands, and only buy from trusted sources, specifically against fraud in the previously owned market.

    Yes we can as we are the source and producer of Alaskan products, our bread and butter is B to B retail and still circling the B to C platform and just hired a couple of guys with this background. Shipping to London can be done by us. DM me if interested.

    Kuzma SAFIR 9

    Kuzma Safir - I installed the new Kuzma Safir on a Dohmann Helix 2. Many thanks to Mark Dohmanm for creating a new armboard to fit the 9” Kuzma Safir. And a shout out to Franc Kuzma for coming up with the design of this arm. While setup IMO is a variable in of itself from one change to the...

    Kuzma SAFIR 9

    Hi there, thanks for sharing your setup experience. (I too have the Safir sitting here awaiting a new arm board that arrives today for the Helix 2 but may not be able to get this on until this time next week)

    J.R. Boisclair / WAM Engineering Cartridge Analysis Service

    IME and IMO I have not seen a cartridge so misaligned where it was not capable of playing, and I am not saying they don't exist. Ortofon seems to be one that is recognized as having fewer of these issues. The beauty of playing vinyl is also the challenge of playing vinyl because there is no...

    What SPECIFICALLY is better or different about the Wadax Design? How do these design choices manifest in better sound?

    IMO the OPs question is clear. But why answer to have things go sideways beyond friendly banter. Isn’t the intent to discuss what we know, hear or enjoy? You know, read and learn.

    Classic case of me multi-thinking in reference to mention of disc. Agree on Tidal.

    Good to see you landed in a spot that works and you mention this for Qobuz - do you have other settings for file or disc?

    The voltage gain is the most audible IMO, and yes it is much better.

    WADAX dedicated forum

    As things are settling in I'm now playing more with the settings and boosted the voltage from 1V to 4V and moved Ohms up to 7.4 from 0, also I played with the server settings. I let the voltage ride until yesterday then dropped down to 2V where it seems much better. I realize settings are...

    Thanks, as you know they are great pieces. Did you hear positive differences with the footers? In this room, Constellation Performance Centaur II 500, Magico M6, Dohmann and Kuzma Turntables.

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Hi. With the Extreme, I never had reason not to give it its own circuit which allows it to prevail. I am a fan of StromTank, and use this on the Phonos.

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Think StromTank providing power on and off the grid - it uses a dual inverter going from AC to DC then conversion from DC back to AC using ONE power cable at the Tanks 15 amp input and audio grade cables make little to no difference to the component where I have zero concern about not using them...

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    I was thinking the same thing, and just jumped back to TAS using Tidal and files. Roon IMO is sounding light, no meat on the bone, no texture. For whatever reason on TAS it’s asking me for Qobuz credentials that I’m having issues with connecting - Update: I tried a few checks, including...
