Grimm MU2 Experience
I didn’t even bother listening to it seriously the first day. After the initial 24 hours it sounded pretty darn good to me. It continued to improve modestly over the next few weeks.       
Grimm MU2 Experience
I’ve had my MU2 for about 3 weeks. All I can say it’s the best digital that I’ve personally owned and I’ve had quite a few top performers including Lampy, Dave/Mscaler, Bricasti, Innuos, Spectral CDP. All the industry reviews are pretty accurate….... 
All New Totaldac D100 Loudspeakers....The HOLY GRAIL OF SPEAKERS ?!
Here’s a link to listening impressions at the Munich show. It’s post# 259. it’s too bad more people in N. America can’t easily get to audition this speaker.   https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/munchen-high-end-show-2022.34193/page-13  
All New Totaldac D100 Loudspeakers....The HOLY GRAIL OF SPEAKERS ?!
I received my d100 about 2 weeks ago. Still in the process of fine tuning my system  but so far they show lots of promise. Driving them with Luxman L595 integrated.and a Yggdrasil DAC. I’ve owned various Magico’s over the past 5 years so this is a... 
Magico S5 Speaker - owners - heard them!
Congrats.....I'm sure you'll love the S5's and they represent a great value now with the mk. 2 now out. I recently upgraded my S1 to S3 and couldn't be happier. I currently use Spectral electronics and MIT cabling (required with Spectral) and they... 
300B SET Tube Amp recommendations anyone??
I have auditioned the Mactone 23W p/p and it is superb. 
EMM CDSD transport new version out
I do have the latest CDSD with USB and my dealer sent me the EMM Set-Up software along with the latest software (Version 018) which downloaded easily. 
New Lamm M1.2 vs. M1.1
Bob Crump: Thanks for your input. Bob 
New Lamm M1.2 vs. M1.1
Thanks to everyone for your input.Mike: The Tenor's would be a consideration but next to impossible to audition and out of my price range. Impossible to find used since they just came out.Tom: I really liked the BAT and probably should have tried ... 
New Lamm M1.2 vs. M1.1
Mike,Thanks for your input. As you probably know, Lamm intro'd the 1.2 at CES as the replacement for the 1.1. I simply meant the 1.1 is no longer available from Lamm.I'm on my third amplifier with the 7's. Started with a BAT VK75SE, followed by Ay... 
Audio Note 4.1X vs. 4.1X Signature
Very interesting. I'll e-mail Peter Q for his comments.I've heard the new 4.1X approaches the performance of the DAC 5. I assume people are referring to the 4.1X Signature model in this comparison. 
Which DAC to get?
Very interesting question. I've narrowed my search to the Audio Note and Zanden but unfortunately, neither product can be auditioned in my area. Any AN/Zanden users out there??? 
New Aerial 9 or Merlin VSM
I too am strongly considering the new Aerial 9. There aren't very many dealers that have them in stock since they were just released. I have spoken to Michael Kelly at length about the design and like the (4) 7" woofers which are ported on the bot... 
New Nordost Cable Valkyrja
I just received a pair of Valkyrja interconnects that I'll be comparing to my Valhalla's. There currently on my CDP (EMC-1UP) and burning in around the clock. I'll then do A/B testing with direct comparison to the Valhalla. System being evaluated ... 
Dynaudio C4 - Anyone with first hand experience
Thanks everyone. I just found a new review at www.sounstage.com reviewing the C4 and there was the usual praise but the reviewer also noted a bass hump in the lower bass. His room if my memory is accurate was 15x22x8. He further noted that regardl...
