| Innuos Zenith mk3 complete disappointment Another case of USB being a dodgy standard. I run my Zenith Mk3 into an Antelope Zodiac Platinum with Rubidium clock. To get it to sound as spectacular as it can it took the following:-Intona USB 2.0 Isolator with Intona reference cable-Acoustic R... | |
| A Very Useful New Discovery--EON Digital Filter from Network Acoustics What we have here again is the bits-are-bits crowd resolutely sitting on their ears. The only thing more disheartening is their inability to get up. Galvanic isolation on USB and filtering on Ethernet both work audibly well, even if ASR hasn‘t car... | |
| Does Age Matter? 63 and digital, whereas my answer would have been vinyl 5 years ago. Since then the advent of audiophile streamers and better clocks on the DAC have meant big leaps in SQ for digital. In particular streaming is big progress over mechanical disc dr... | |
| Opinions on differing power cable for amp and preamp While I use a mix of Nordost Valhalla and Acoustic Revive reference power cables, getting clean power to the system involves much more than power cables: a separate spur, power conditioning through either a balanced transformer or passive conditio... | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? You will get an improvement from either playing from SSD or streaming. I suggest you explore Innuos, Lumin, Auralic, Aurender streamers. They come with SSDs to which you can load your CDs if you chose not to switch to streaming Qobus or Tidal | |
| Dcs Bartok without pre amp or going cheaper with pre amp Get a used Antelope Zodiac Platinum with the audiophile Rubidium 10m clock. It has a great preamp section and top notch 44.1 to DSD DAC | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? @mijostyn,my experience is 180 degrees different from yours. I had a Mach2mini running Puremusic on a very minimalist setup for operating system and lots of vibration controlling features. When switching to Innuos Zenith Mk3 the difference in reso... | |
| Phono Cable Recommendations Auditorium23,superbly quiet, detailed and fast. | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? @mijostyn,with all due respect: running a digital system off a noisy computer isn‘t anywhere near SOTA. Actually to get to digital SOTA takes equally as much effort and money as vinyl and $4k isn‘t even close.As you say, vinyl is what clutches are... | |
| Does Anyone Think CD is Better Than Vinyl/Analog? Foremost to mention that nowadays every recording is digital. Secondly, unless they are cut directly to vinyl, LP’s went through further analogue conversion adding hum and hiss, not to even to speak about the same limiters on dynamics that suppose... | |
| Auditorium 23 phono cable for tonearm base to preamplifier connection ? It‘s 6NOFC | |
| State of current production (2020-21) top flight 300b tubes Top class: EAT, Takatsuki, Elrog, new WEGood: TJ Full Music, KRAudioDifferences in sound quality are significant | |
| Isolation Feet Upgrade I use Black ravioli pads on top of Final Darumas. A word of caution:Using 3 instead of 4 with one directly centred under the power supply provides better load balancing and offers sonic improvements (Wavac EC300b, Innuos Zenith mk3) | |
| Auditorium 23 phono cable for tonearm base to preamplifier connection ? I have the Auditorium23 running from my Dynavector 507mk2 with Zyx Universe running to my Zyx Artisan, having replaced the Dynavector cable as well as a Nordost Frey and can heap nothing but praise: open, dynamic and musical | |
| Help setting up nework for Zenith mk3 arriving next week @rc22,the Apple Airport actually takes wifi input and in bridge mode makes it look to the Zenith as though it were connected to the router via ethernet. It works well when there are few other networks around, otherwise you might not have enough wi... |
