Boy you sure told me. Go Pat yourself on the back. I didn’t start a new thread btw. I didn’t ‘ lose an argument’, but that offers insight to how you look at things. Which is ridiculous, well unless you are young and/or not mature i am not an engineer and stick to a site claiming all things...

why are you quoting stuff I said on another forum and answering me here, instead of answering me there? now that’s funny seriously I just skimmed through your post, cause it doesn’t matter to me. not comfortable outside the ‘ safe’ walls in here? I wonder how you would do up close as well...

you’re right its about the same as making amplifiers with tubes nowadays when SS is clearly superior. measurements don’t lie on state of the art with SS compared to tubes and what people call tube magic. It’s just that magic.

wonder why it sounded muddy with two. ‍

I did connect two ipowerX together in parallel using a Y cord as Thoren told me to. But it made the sound mushy for some reason. so I sent the one back. or the two together increased capacitance and why it sounded noticeably mushy? so I probably don’t need extra power

I actually tried two ipowerX in parallel and it didn’t sound good for some reason. Muddy bass. but that might just be with it in parallel. I get the point man. No worries. And thanks for educating me. i appreciate it very much

sounds good man thank you. @solderdude , dude, it’s only audio and it’s only $100. I get it, it won’t be an addition where I’ll say “ omg the soundstage opened and it sounds so much more relaxed with chocolaty mids !” Lol. Come on we can have fun as well And learn at the same time. I...

he actually has the Sig 6xx not the regular one. i have absolutely zero issues with telling anyone if I buy the supercapacitor and am wrong and it does nothing. I don’t have those hang ups. I’ve been known to be wrong before. We all are sometimes. You learn that hopefully at 55. It’s no...

im a bit confused. so that supercapacitor will work in providing the extra power peaks if needed? this is what Thoren said as well as he uses a supercapacitor in the same manner. But he built it himself. This is what he said about it below ( in italics) (Im including @solderdude as well)...

thanks so much man. You don’t know how much I appreciate the knowledge and help. Thank you! I think the best ‘ upgrade’ ( god I hate that word cause it usually implies a snake oil salesman, lol) would be the supercap which I listed here. its well made and I can box it if I want to look half...

reading further into this, I’m assuming this is done to replicate music more and the power needed for short bursts where more power is drawn for lower frequencies? and supercapacitors can be used to provide that additional power quick enough when needed? thanks

can you explain what the graphs mean in the context of this thread for me who doesn’t know please? much obliged !

ok I did not know that of course. How do you know him if you don’t mind me asking?

I mean he is an engineer with a degree. He isn’t some fake.

this is what he replied to me External Power supply - high current, high peak current. Supercaps and linear from AliExpress at a grand total well below 100 Bux delivered is what I recommend. Linear power supplies with dual chamber EI core transformers have the lowest coupling of noise from...

ha , yeah Thoren said so himself. which is odd why he insists on me getting a linear power supply and supercap

Would that supercapacitor bank along with a cheap power supply filter out EMI and ripple as well?

im not technically educated enough to reply to that. but he and others say that from the very nature of a linear power supply the noise is less. On the other hand, the entire power circuit has to be designed well. why my benchmark stuff uses all SMPS power supplies. But they are made...

yeah, I mean I know that the internal circuit conditions the power so to speak. but I wonder why Thoren L recommends a linear power supply? thanks man

whaa? is the ripple low on it? thanks why is it better than a linear PSU?
