| Please help with Roon server/core issue Nadine…I suspect your router. Have you talked to your ISP to have the router replaced? The other solution I can propose is mesh network. The gateway unit will broadcast to roon core either via Ethernet cable from gateway unit or Ethernet cable... | |
| 15k for streamer and dac....how much on each? @ghdprentice just a heads up on ARC DAC9.,.not all of them support Linux based streamers (when you use USB interface). Older DAC9 will require updating the USB card which is done by ARC and isn’t cheap. I was looking into this DAC and that’s how ... | |
| Power cable suggestions for Pioneer turntable One other thought…is the cartridge setup proper? VTA, overhang? It can make it or break it. Use a good protractor to verify your setup. | |
| Power cable suggestions for Pioneer turntable @ten_ton_bass I had several turntables. Always stock cord. It powers the motor. As long as the motor is working as designed you are good. And by the way, I use Nordost and Audience power cables throughout my system where they matter - digital, pr... | |
| How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits brian8383 8 posts 04-07-2024 at 02:25pm Just buy a set. You won’t hear a difference and you saved huge $. Then take that saved money and buy a Cayman S. Just buy a Prius. You won’t feel the difference and for the money you saved buy yo... | |
| 15k for streamer and dac....how much on each? Well it’s your money and is totally up to you how to split between streamer and dac. Some will tell you that all streamers sound the same and there’s no point to get out of the $500-$1200 range, some will tell to use a computer, some will say you ... | |
| Power cable suggestions for Pioneer turntable Power cable for the motor will not change the way your turntable sounds. +1 on seeking a cartridge upgrade. And look elsewhere in your system and room acoustics for a solution to this problem. | |
| How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits roadcykler 74 posts 04-07-2024 at 12:01pm Chances are they are exactly what Nordhost makes but not "authorized" by them. It doesn't matter anyway because the "real" Nordhost cables won't sound any different than these versions. You're mo... | |
| How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits @czarivey I agree and I would love to be able to own the real deal for $50 instead of $40,000 which I’m never gonna spend on a cable. But it isn’t the world we live in. And by the way I still consider my Heimdall 2, Frey 2 and Tyr 2 cables (real ... | |
| New cables... Snowflake had my post removed. | |
| How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits Everything that’s brand name sold on aliexpress is chinese fake. That’s everything - not just cables. | |
| Do I need a phono preamp? McIntosh MP100 is excellent. Should work with variety of cartridges. I heard it in my system with Hana EL and Hana ML. Table was MoFi UltraDeck. | |
| New cables... Get 200hrs of signal thru the new cables then re-evaluate. Sometimes the difference is more apparent when you go from best to worst and you realize what you’re missing. Also, few additional items to consider- 1. bad room acoustics will mask diff... | |
| Comparing Chord Qutest Dac with the Built in Dac in Lumin T3 Streamer I had U1 Mini / Qutest combo and in my opinion it will be tough to beat. What you’re looking to do is most likely a sideways move. I would upgrade either the streamer or the dac then upgrade the other component later on. Keep it separated. Also, i... | |
