Trying a new Audioquest Carbon Digital Cable between my Transport and DAC, after about a solid 40 hours of burn in, the Carbon is really starting to bloom.
A very pleasant upgrade over the previous Silver wire that was in place. Most notable improvement so far has been the "Spaciousness" in the soundstage, very detailed, yet smooth as Butta.
Also, just received today a set of the small Iso-Pucks. I know these are Marketed to be utilized under smaller Speakers, but I'm trying them under my CDT and DAC to see if I can hear any notable increase in performance. If these prove worthy, I'm planning on installing more under the Line Preamp and Phono Preamp as well.

SDA SRS 2.3TL's/SDA SRS 3.1TL's/SDA CRS+4.1TL's and some other stuff
While I'm under corona house arrest I thought this would be a good time to do some comparisons. Having heard a rumor that fully balanced amps don't project the soundstage as far as non-balanced amps my curiosity got the best of me. So far I'm surprised that the little non balanced Proton d1200 is making a good accounting of itself. More listening is needed.
I do not think that was intended for the older SDA's, it was for the L800's only as far as the SDA side.
but let us know your findings.
Now, I'm ALL confused. Can vintage SDA's like my SRS's use a dual mono amp that is all in one chasis with a single power cable, as long as we don't use the balanced inputs?
Nevermind, I found the answer.

I've been thinking about trying a Mullard 5AR4. Some other Decware preamp owners use them with good results. I have to remember to look for one when I go on one of my tube buying binges.
I have one these, a Mullard made G.E. in my Preamp, excellent choice.
Mike,
Between you and Tom I kind of getting a little interested in this tube. I checked a few 5AR4/GZ34 Mullards on the internet and although they look like they can be a little pricey, I did see a few reasonably priced. Hopefully some careful shopping will nab me a good deal. First, I think I'll hit my brother up, maybe he's got one in his stash. I'll see him in a week or so. If he doesn't have any, the search will have to commence.

I had a tube buffer that used 6AK5 tubes. I always found the Voskhod 6J1P to be a very sweet tubes. Out of all my USA 6ak5 old tubes only two others bested the Voskhods.
There is some older nice 6DJ8 tubes you should have a good time rolling in some.
I took my 1 RTA12b off of the dolly it was on and now it's level with the other one. Sounds better too.
I took one of my Triton Ones off it's dolly too. It sure looks short now! I ran out of time before I could take the other Triton off of it's dolly. This weekend I'll probably go out and do it.
I was listening to some sets of speakers from my classic JVC Receiver while moving things and organizing and I heard distortion after about an hour. I was thinking, The "Eagles Farewell Tour" CD doesn't have distortion!!! It must be something beyond the CD. I started to search...
The AR58s speakers sounded good yesterday or the day before, have I blown the newly re-foamed woofers?, blown an old mid or teeter? Well the mid on one seemed to be making the distortion so I checked the rear connections. I re-set the 2 wires and it sounded better. But I still wanted to check the back of the JVC since I was moving a bunch of wires around yesterday or the day before. The speaker wires all looked firmly in place and they were. I tugged on all 12. no problem. None touching each other. BUT...
I noticed the wire from the CD player to the JVC's cd input was TIGHT as $$$$! Somehow moving things around, that interconnect wire hooked around the stereo stands' back corner on the left side. The hook-ups are on the RIGHT side... .
Well relieving the tension and rechecking that one speakers' wires in its back terminal made the distortion disappear. The interconnect is a nice cheap one but I think it has to be a flawed suspect in the future.
I had a blast. I rocked out and even danced a few moves, which I RARELY do. I can't dance!!
I even lit an incense to start the evening out there. "China Rain" I think it is. I used to burn incense, turn a little waterfall on and turn the lights off except a orange Japanese Lantern with a 40 watt bulb in it. The Carver amp and SRS2s would be playing relaxation music and I'd drift off to sleep and not feel the pain in my neck for a good bit.
Many years went by doing that routine. Tonight reminded me of all those good days I was lucky enough to have had because of music and mood settings.
I think music might help me again through this virus threat/scare that's hitting some of our members now.
A few days ago, I didn't know anybody that knew anybody that had it. Now we do. SCARY!
One more thing.
I post funny joking pictures having to do with TP and the 6' spacing on the beach, but it's to bring a smile to our minds UNTIL this virus touches more and more people we know. Then it will be SERIOUS discussions and posts from then on I'm sure.
Again, God be with you and your families John and Dave.
And may God be with the rest of you guys and your families too of course!
Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

Took the top off my Furman pc to have a look inside as the differential outlets are running 4 volts higher than the wall voltage. Also my electrical checker says they have a open neutral. The high current outlets read the same as the wall voltage so I'll be using them instead. I didn't spot anything wrong so I'll check with Furman to see if this is normal. One thing I did notice while it was on my bench was the pc works even when nothing is plugged into it. The emi on the workbench socket dropped from 415 to 78 just by plugging the Furman in.
