ISO Regen performance Improvement Cheap!

[RamDawg]

I definitely want to try as well.  Your last description confused me as to the setup. I have an LPS 1 powering my IR. IR has female end, LPS 1 has female end.  The Poe ends on your link- one female one male.  Should I buy 2 sets to get 2 males- 1 to connect to the IR and 1 to connect to the LPS 1 with the cats in between?  Please clarify kind sir!  Thank you.

I'm in for testing!

 

Currently running Canare 4S6 Starquad DC cable between an LPS-1 and IR. 

 

Just arrived:

 

1. iCreatin Passive PoE Injector and PoE Splitter Kit with 5.5x2.1 mm DC Connector 

 

2. IBRA 3 Feet CAT 7 RJ45 Ethernet LAN Network Cable 

 

I will test the IBRA against my already owned Audioquest Cinnamon CAT 7 1.5M and Wireworld Platinum Starlight CAT 8 .5M.  

 

Will give each 20+ hours of burn in before listening. Should be interesting. Stay tuned....

I am sorry my system does not meet your high expectations of audio payback.  In my description on my profile page and back with my first impressions of full cat 8 cable, I state my speakers are 8.5 ft into the room.  The stage here, like my friends $500K system in MN whose speakers are 10.5ft into the room; both systems, the stage starts behind the speaker plane and extends way back and way out to the sides, He has some reel to reel tapes with phase manipulation and his whole huge room fills with sound when he plays those.

 

I use Raal ribbon tweeters and the crossovers have no Bi-polar caps anywhere near these speakers, I could post a pink noise graph on my speakers L and R at the LP.  I do use Clio 8.53 in my speaker set up and last time I measured the highs are as good as any graph I have seen and my ears tell me the highs are just fine.

 

Not sure on a system you have never heard you can be so confident about its sound and my inability to describe its sound staging.  Regardless this is getting way off topic.

 

Be well

The world is a very bizarre place when a DC power cable between an UpTone LPS1 and ISO Regen affects soundstage!!! Are we still talking about that?. @Superdad I ain’t goin’ to start ABXing pieces of copper wire ???

I think you are jabbring about something you have not heard or experienced yet ???. 

 

I have been switching out between PoE ends a Supra Cat8 3M, an Ibra .5M, an Audioquest Cinnamon 1M and a Canare Starquad 1M between my LPS-1(along with recently received 1.2) and (what this thread is supposed to be about) the extraordinary ISO Regen.

 

My personal results so far are that the Supra CAT8 provides the biggest soundstage of the bunch while reducing clarity especially with the treble.  There is something about the Supra that makes a difference but I'm still deciding whether it's a positive one to me. The timbre seems off somewhat as well so I don't know if I want to sacrifice that for added spacial depth ?

 

Not an audible difference between the Canare and Cinnamon. All frequencies resolute with less spaciousness than the Supra. Treble slightly forward. 

 

Ibra so far is the overall winner for me. Maybe it's the short length I don't know.  The treble is slightly resessed compared to the Cinnamon and Canare but more forward and clearer than the Supra. Soundstage is in between as well. 

 

A 1M silver DC cable from Dave at Zenwave should be here next week. Not cheep but I have to know! ??

[RamDawg]

That's another thread on another site.  ???

[RamDawg]

There is a difference between the cables and plenty of folks on this thread have experienced them starting on page 1. That's what I like about this thread is these differences are cheep and quick to order and test!

By having such a screwed-up system that just touching or changing anything, changes the sound.

Not for me, I am personally concerned with understanding what affects audio quality/SQ, and when reasonable physical explanations are lacking, the fact that higher cortical function is a powerful modulator of sensation, remains.

This troll has perched in our thread and aims to continue to make this his dumping ground.  He has had at least 1 offer to receive for free a DIY ethernet DC cable to try between his LPS 1.2 and ISO Regen (AC confirmed recent purchase).  Even the acceptance of such offer would diminish his troll cred for he is not receiving thread notifications because he is interested in our experiments.  Until he experiments himself and reports back 1st hand findings, his posts are irrelevant and complete ingorance. Please start your own thread dude.

"when reasonable physical explanations are lacking, the fact that higher cortical function is a powerful modulator of sensation, remains."

I think we are dealing with two facts in that proposed scenario:

1) Physical explanations are lacking

2) cortical function is a powerful modulator of sensation

The conclusions drawn from those premises seem to be wildly different depending on one's belief system.

Funny, I didn't even make my stance known, merely pointed out there are different perspectives possible.

 

Edit- Oh, I get it now, I just browsed up through the thread, everybody is a troll for you if they disagree with you, even if you misconstrue what they are saying.

Experiment with the various inexpensive DC ethernet cables first then your perspective will be legitimate. That's all. Trolls are ones who've not yet done so, put their 2 cents in and make assumptions based on no experience.
