Comparisons of PWD as a preamp

2010-08-20T14:09:31Z

Ok so I’m wondering who has compared their PWD as a preamp against their preamp. I’m really wondering just how good the PWD is as a preamp. Yes I understand no preamp is better than a preamp but that assumes the PWD preamp is really that good.

TagNPlay App

Has anyone tried this yet? Am I reading this correctly, we still need to wait for the Bridge for the DAC, but we can use it now to control the PWDAC as a remote?

Hello, can anyone tell me where to get some advanced specs for the tagNPlay app? Specifically I would like to know if it will work with my logitech squeezebox. Until I can get my hands on a network bridge I have the Perfect Wave Dac being fed by the digital out on a squeezebox - not ideal I know. The trouble is that now I have 2 remote controls, one to change track and one for the volume on the DAC.

PS AUDIO power cables from Ebay seller

2010-08-30T11:03:01Z

I have noticed that Ebay seller in US are selling brand new PS Audio Power Cables at lower prices eg. AC-3 1m $69.98 and AC-5 1m - $149.98, ebay seller id:“audioadvices”. Has anyone bought from this seller? He mentioned that he got his items from US Authorized dealer and not direct from manufacture due to over stock inventory.

Here is the link to the item:

Can someone please share his experience with this seller?
Thanks.

PWT with new transport

2010-09-01T21:05:48Z

I changed the stock Asus DVD drive to a Plextor 870A. What a different it made. It’s cheaper than the fuses i replace. I am waiting for the silver IDE cable to come next week.

Battery BackUp Anyone?

2010-09-01T18:49:00Z

Didn’t PS Audio have a Battery Backup system? Or….. am I mistaken and I’m just having a Senior moment.

Thanks,

Never mind…. I looked a little further and I found the Power Pack. However, It doesn’t look like I remembered it. Didn’t it look alot like the Power Plant Premier? Same case and front panel. Don’t tell me its made in China… It looks generic.

CD-Rs don’t play on PWT

2010-09-01T10:18:57Z

Hello

None of my CD-Rs seem to load on the PWT. It reads it for a while (longer than usual) and then registers track 1 only, and when I hit play it gets stuck in its own world until it gets a reboot.

I have the latest firmware. All other Cds / DVD-Rs work fine

Anyone else have this problem?

False wall as Bass Trap?

2010-08-28T03:38:11Z

Dear Forum Friends;

I was not sure whether this is the place for this, but thought I would try, as I really like the people who post and answer here.

I am moving into an apt with a large living/dining area (34’ x 20’ more or less). One whole side (32’) are sliding glass windows. The living area has a wall about 11’ wide (then a hallway leading to the bedrooms). I am building a false wall in front of this wall about 4” out, and will be about 4” thick, to help hide my large MBL 9008 amps, as they will be tucked into holes in this wall to help hide their depth. Over the amps and attached to the wall will be a shelf about 86” wide, by 20” deep. On the wall will also be hung a large flat-panel TV. The speakers will be on this wall, about 3’ out, and about 9’ apart, center to center.

As I am building this false wall anyway, is there a possibility to build it in a way to function as a bass trap? I will be using MBL 101e’s for speakers, and they are 360 degree radiating, so I was also planning to place sound absorption panels on the wall as well to deal with higher frequencies (500 and above).

Thanks,

Mike

One week left until the end of August and I haven’t heard anything on how it is progressing from the forums since the blog is no longer available.
