PT2: FARAD Super 10 upgrade with music and a surprise

www.faradpowersupplies.com/su...
"Pure power, sophistication, musicality, micro details, imaging, a near-zero noise floor... there's simply no going back from the Super10. Whether used for a Nuc board, switch, output card, headphone amp or DAC, its 10 amp maximum output, standard built-in SR Purple fuse and Furutech FI-09NCF input will drive the Super10 him easily in grace. The Super10 redefines what a component or set is capable of." Without having read this text from the FARAD website, I can only confirm this 100%, I only recommend changing the fuse...

Awesome content as always. im thinking shouldnt it be possible to upload second video to a website without compression, only if you want too ofc. 😀

[@adrianm1949]

Mike, I think you know it but your SR Purple fuse needs at least 300 hours to burn in. Which fuse do you prefer?

[@headquarteraudio5388]

Thank you very much for the tip (known), I'm already an old man, so not enough time before I move into eternal hunting grounds ( for top hifi gear ) to wait for eternal burn-in (some say 500 hours)... especially since the sound really wasn't good for a long time, at the end too ... my solution is part of my tuning, therefore only intended for my customers. The fuse finished the burn in after 50 hours and sounds heavenly, for a fraction of the price (without installation), but this is easy to do... cheers Mike

I'm sure it is asked before but i see no room treatment. Or would the sound be to dull with it??

[@headquarteraudio5388]

Hi, i have Open Baffle Speakers and a normal room ( a little treatment to wall and window ), good match. Please watch some videos about the advantages of OB Speakers. The slight reverb comes from the microphone of the Samsung cell phone. (Spherical Mic) kzbin.info/www/bejne/oorEinadrNJ7n5o

Hello, do,you have any experience with the Mano Ultra mkIII streamer with the Farad from Magna audio…your thoughts

[@headquarteraudio5388]

Hi, sorry, no. I can recommend the Denafrips Arce, specially with clock sync with Terminator. Or the new one..ääh Arcas or so..with better clock..as ROON endpoint. cheers Mike

[@TheRealAudioDidact]

First!

[@kraken-s]

Allo Shanti better, more consistency!

[@headquarteraudio5388]

surely not, please hear also the last video ...but you are a little right, i recorded it too early, burn in was not at the end and is still not, but sound is much better than the Allo....cheers Mike

Almost 3k Euro for a power supply??!! Sorry, no way. Thats for ultra rich folk. Any decent component, all of which are expensive these days, should have a great power supply. Having to pay 1/3 of a new car for a power supply is insanity.

[@headquarteraudio5388]

Yes! Without thinking...this is for smart people with experience, and this video is just one way to benefit from it. "Should have" is not "have", especially when it comes to PCIe cards, which are normally powered by the PC's/Servers internal power supplies. So please think or have appropriate knowledge...Magicos with a Kinki Studio amplifier? Streaming via WiFi from a notebook? Components on the floor under the bed? You really don't need an S10 (or better, it would be the wrong approach)... and that's not insanity, that's passion. And by the way, which car that you would give to your wife with your children in this car costs 9K new? TTSS... thats insanity...
