Replying to my own post with an update.
Last Friday I had a chance to hear Clement's system again after the QSA cable additions.
1. Ultimatum SC
2. Spectra Infinity PC
A few weeks had gone by between listening sessions, and I will note that I believe there is still some time left for...
Nice write-up Clement!
It difficult to imagine your system being more dynamic and more true to timbre than it sounded a few weeks ago when I heard it before your Spectra cables arrived. It presented itself as refined, holographic and with an impeccable ability to grip you emotionally. Part of...
Hi all,
Some of you may know me as a DIYer from other forums. I am here today to report my spectacular experience in adding the QSA Lanedri Gamma Revelation PC and Gamma Revelation XLRs to my system.
What did I replace and where (in the end)?:
1. Furutech DPS 4.1 between the wall and my...
I have recently inserted QSA Yellow into my preamp, the Wyred4Sound STP-SE stage 2. It replaced the blue Furutech Rhodium fuse. Across the board improvements. More clarity, more emotional connection and greater sense of realness were observed. Absolutely no sheen or harshness to report in this...
I did not try SR Purple in the DAC. I compared QSA Light Blue to Light Violet in the dac. The SR Purple went to my amp and USB card LPS (SJ DC4).
Needless to say, QSA Light Violet is significantly better than QSA Light blue in the dac.
At this point I have tried:
1. QSA Light Blue: Dac, server LPS, LPS for USB card, AMP.
2. QSA Light Violet: DAC, currently breaking in.
3. QSA Yellow: Server LPS, LPS for USB card
4. SR Purple: Server LPS, Amp, LPS for USB card
Today, all 3 three light blue fuses have been upgraded. Two will...
Good points.
But as with any product available to purchase, this could be happening as we speak, reverse engineering. I would hate to see this happen to the TAIKO brand. I also wouldn't expect TAIKO to give away ALL of the secret sauce or provide a percentage guarantee of peformance...
Totally agree.
It would still be great to have a proven "recipe" or foundation (of parts/sw configs) to work with though, allowing the DIYer to determine how far down the Taiko path they may want to go...There is peace of mind in knowing that you have a solid trustworthy baseline to work with...
Long time lurker, first time poster here.
This sounds like a terrific idea. I fully support this as a DIYer, and as someone who would love to contribute and provide feedback towards further optimizations.
