Hi Friends, Recently i had opportunity to try out 'how power quality affects sound quality'. The opportunity was not across all scenarios, rather it was limited to digital conversion. e.g. DAC where digital is converted to analog signal DDC where digital is converted to digital again In both...

0down votefavorite I need to use a voltage stabilizer to secure my USB Hub (Anker PowerPort 6), but the stabilizer (v-guard crystal MINI) is slightly underpowered. It is rated at 1.3A, 300W (230V). My Anker has input requirements of 1.4A (it's total output is only 60W at 5V per port). My...

Hi Friends, I got a NOS DAC today and it came with its normal power adapter. I have read that linear power supply to a DAC can result in improvement of the sound. So my question is, should i try another power adapter (having linear power supply)? I also have one small RouterUPS, i.e...

Dear friends, I am quite happy with my rig but I'm wondering whether I would benefit from a good power conditioner. I am currently using a Vertex 2 KVA stabilizer connected to a Soundfoundations Power Distribution unit. The SF unit probably does some cleaning up, but may not do all the...

Hi, I'm just curious to know if a Voltage Stabilizer affect AVR performance in a negative way? AV equipment needs a clean power-source. But can V-guard stabilizers provide it ?

I wanted to offer my massive tiny powerhouse, QUAD Elite QSP Stereo Power Amplifier (Elite Series Quad) for sale!! Though, I am not very fond of British amplifiers, still Id say, this amp is indeed a very well engineered product, very robust and a powerful one with a rugged scratch proof...

Hi All Even though ive been visiting the forum for years now to look for answers to my layman AV queries, this is actually the first time im writing here. So finally bought my first proper AV setup (AVphiles would beg to differ but hey i think its decent for a beginner). The setup is...
