| Amp — Leave on or turn off There are close to 220 operational coal power plants in the US. China has over 3,000. Our contribution to pollution by leaving our amplifiers on can’t even be measured. I’m not saying we don’t need to be conscious about it, but the environmentalis... | |
| Amp — Leave on or turn off I don’t have solar panels. Does this mean I can resume playing Peel Me a Grape that I had on repeat for close to 30 years in my high power consuming system? Cause I just paused it for few minutes to check if I kept that coal plant alive all this t... | |
| Amp — Leave on or turn off @rvpiano you can leave all your benchmark components on. Extreme heat is the enemy of electronics. The SMPS doesn’t draw much from the wall and there’s no energy to convert to heat. So you’re safe to leave it on if it sounds best to you that way. ... | |
| Streamers: Lumin U2 vrs Aurender N200 One other thing….not sure how it is in the U2 but with the U1 Mini that I had, enabling upconversion made it sound “processed”. So if you’re upgonverting may be try disabling it and do bit perfect. Also, Roon sounded slightly more natural than th... | |

| Cable upgrades James that’s awesome! Yeah definitely get acquainted with the Cardas cables first. @magnuman is this how you talk to people in person as well? | |
| Finally upgrading my amp Hegel H190. Good chance it’s going to be yours for $2500 https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650031655-hegel-h190-integrated-amplifier-black-like-new/ | |
| Long USB cable recommendation That’s a bit too long for usb. Check out this article… https://www.cablematters.com/Blog/USB-C/usb-cable-max-length If you don’t like BluOS, give Roon free trial a go. Yeah it’s a subscription service but the UI/IX is insanely good. | |
| Cable upgrades Lol. Been dealing with Ross for years! | |

| Cable upgrades magnuman 159 posts 02-13-2024 at 02:46pm audphile, I agree it would be pointless on your part cuz you don't know what you're talking about. 👍 | |
| Cable upgrades @magnuman ok you got it buddy. I won’t be starting a pointless argument with you. | |
| Cable upgrades magnuman 155 posts 02-13-2024 at 10:30am My suggestion to you is if you want to open up your system a little bit more change all the cables to OCC single crystal which is what audio sensibility uses, far superior to anything OFC. That... |
