Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Squeezebox Touch with AudioQuest Jitterbug
Tried it - no change for better or worse. Left it in for as long as I was using the Touch.

I have a channel Islands audio PSU for my Touch, but the cord is too short for my current needs. Does anyone make a longer DC-to-DC cord? I checked Wellborne and Boulder, but they only offer cords with custom connections for their PSU's. I called CI Audio, and they can help. Any ideas? I'm looking for a 1-2m cable.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] why is increasing the power supply amp rating
Another vote for the Channel Islands Audio PSU. Everyone seems to have an opinion about the value of these things - which is likely why CIA has a 30 trial. Take what you see here with helping of salt and trust your own ears. If you like what you hear - enjoy.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Anyone use the Squeezepak PSU?
Just got this last night. Connected with a Shunyata Research Diamondback AC cable, my SB3 sounds more open, with better placement of things in the soundstage, and far tighter bass. Is it night and day - no. Is it better and more relaxed sounding - absolutely. 1 nit about the Channel Islands Supply. The box itself is very well designed and built, but the DC power cable they provide is actually cheezier than the power cord that comes with the Sqeezebox.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] mini monitor dilemma
i have two SB Classics and run Silverline Minuets on one and PSB AlphaB's on the other. Both are small, efficient, and sound very natural. The PSB are a bit less expensive and have more bottom end extension. The Silverlines are much smaller, more refined in the midrange and on top, and can be bi-wired. I think Stereophile ranks the Minuets a class C and the Alpha's a class D. FWIW - I drive the Minuets with a Virtue 1 amp and the PSB's with a little Trends. Both combos sound really sweet.

The rosewood finish of the Silverline Minuets is pretty dark. Not black of course, but very dark brown. Search for them on Audiogon.

Re: [SlimDevices: Audiophiles] Affordable PSU Upgrades for Classic

I'm new to the SB, but the Dacmagic made a very nice improvement in the sound of my office Roku Soundbridge. Much more relaxed, better soundstage, and more natural sounding midrange. $400 in the US. So you guys think the Boulder Cable PSU or Channel Islands PSU's are wastes if you are using the analog outs on the SB?
