Title: SE84UFO2 and DHC1 Post by Rich on 09/22/15 at 20:04:37 I just ordered a new SE84UFO2. This is my first tube amp. I know it depends on my setup but I was wondering how much of an improvement adding a DHC1 power cable will make to the sound of this amp? Has any one switched between a stock cable and a DHC1 on their Super Zen? My configuration will be the following: Bluesound Vault (Hi Rez music server), Audioquest Kink Cobra interconnects, SE84 amp, Audioquest type 4 speaker cables, Monitor Audio Silver 5i speakers (89db) I currently use a fairly cheep Pyle PCO 850 power conditioner. I would consider upgrading cables an upgrade the speakers next year to some that are more efficient. So I would like to know what others think about using the stock cord, or the DHC1, and would a better power conditioner make much of a difference? |

Title: Re: SE84UFO2 and DHC1 Post by Rich on 06/10/16 at 04:15:46 I'm sorry for not responding sooner to these posts. I have been active in the forum but have not looked back at this post. I love the UFO2. It plays plenty loud enough in my room. It has amazing detail, sound stage, and imaging. I would definitely buy it again. Since my original post I replaced my speakers with DIY OB's using Wild Burro Audio Betsy drivers. For a very small investment I have a system that IMO sounds like it should cost 3 to 5x more. I really like my Bluesound Vault from a hardware perspective. It's a really nice one box solution for storing and playing digital music. The sound quality of the Vault is better then my Marantz CD player. Bluesound has recently made a major upgrade to the software and user interface. I actually liked the old version better from a user interface perspective. Since I first posted I added a Schiit Bifrost Multibit Dac which was a big improvement over the Vaults Dac. Donzi, you should check out Bluesounds user forum at: helpdesk.bluesound.com/discussions There is a lot of discussion on the software upgrade. If you have a dealer near you you should check it out in person before buying. |
