| Innuos Zen Mini Mk II with an Ayre Codex Let me repeat my suggestion: as a cheap trial, get a USB hub from amazon inserted in your USB coneection. If that solves the problem, the Intona solution, while more expensive will be superior. I had the same issue between an Innuos Zenth Mk3 and ... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. Cartridges and caps (Mundorf anyone?) are the devices most obviously in need of breaking in, the same does though apply to cables (cooker, anyone?), tubes and loudspeakers. To deny it is at a minimum peculiar. Equating breaking in and tweaks is se... | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? @audio2design,on this one, I am afraid I am siding with @mahgister. Time and polarity coherence at a minimum, ideally also phase coherence is of the essence and the reason why point source, single driver speakers have a following. At least with re... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. I find the arrogance in declaring what I hear to be nonsense quite objectionable. One of the problems with so-called experts is that they tend to end up believing their own blasé utterances. In this particular case, I happen to think he is on hope... | |
| Auditorium 23 phono cable for tonearm base to preamplifier connection ? May I suggest you try Acoustic Revive ECI-50 contact enhancer on the existing plugs and sockets before going to irreversible surgery?This stuff is not easy to find, but absolutely incredible in its impact.Use on cartridge pins, RCAs, power cable a... | |

| Master Clock questions - cable length etc @jasonbourne52,wanna come by and listen some or rather keep pontificating? Just because you can’t hear it don’t mean it ain’t there... | |

| Streaming vs ripped music mesh isn’t worse than traditional wifi: much depends on were you are: if there are a lot of other wifi networks near you, you won’t have enough bandwidth and hence running an ethernet cable will substantially improve SQ. Otherwise mesh or wifi wil... | |
| Coupling/Decoupling Electronics Spikes on concrete are one thing, on wooden floora thy are something else, namely useless because of the unwanted resonances they create. On the latter damping is necessary. I have used Black Ravioli and Symposium Svelteshelf, the latter having a ... | |
| For Your Edification and Enjoyment re "Burn In", etc. @douglas_schroeder Hmmm, I can only comment from admittedly limited experience. I have upgraded from a well run-in Antelope Audio Zodiac Gold to a Zodiac Platinum. For the first 500(!) hours I thought I had made a mistake until literally all of a ... | |
| Do pure copper banana plugs make a difference in the quality of the speaker sound. @nonoise this is why I suggest low mass, crimped banana connectors with Acoustic Revive contact enhancer. Replicating the force of crimping is near impossible on any normal binding post on bare wire and increasing connectivity of the imperfect ban... | |
| Streaming vs ripped music Streaming needs good cables and a filter on the ethernet cable, otherwise rippng will win. I suggest you try inserting an EMO EN70-HD filter and a short(!) Meicord Ethernet cable,into your streaming connection and the result is very likely to reve... | |
| Master Clock questions - cable length etc Your description of the effect is spot on. I use an Antelope Audiophile 10m clock with a Zodiac Platinum. I run a 1.5m Shunyata Sigma BNC with great result. The cable quality rather than the length matters greatly and the upgrade compared to the c... | |
