| ETHERNET CABLES @fredrik222 can you list your components? Streamer, dac, amplification and speakers, interconnects, speaker cables? How resolving of a system are you leveraging to test the cable related changes. | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @12many when your wife swaps the ethernet cables on the streamer make sure she power cycles the unit. Shut down (not standby). Swap, power it back on. What streamer, dac and digital cable type are you using or plan on using? | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @soix let us know your thoughts about wireworld starlight 8 | |
| Wilson tiny tots Your TV most likely has optical out. You need a dac with optical in and a decent integrated amp or a receiver and in both cases look for the ones featuring variable outputs (rca) to connect a subwoofer you will need to fill in that missing lower b... | |
| Better music player alternative to Mac Air / laptop I do not like mac mini as a streamer it just doesn’t sounds good. Tried it. It’s now my Roon core. I know you said you are not interested in streaming music from internet but a network player such as Lumin U1 Mini or Auralic Aries G1 will sound ... | |
| How do you break in a preamp @stanwine congrats!!! if you stream music just have your streamer playing 24/7. You don’t need to have the amp on. Also, keeping the preamp on even if not playing will help too. Just turn off the display when not listening (that’s what I do with ... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @soix this thread unfortunately had gone south…most likely can’t be salvaged. | |
| ETHERNET CABLES Great analogy @12many Now add to that crumpled piece of paper a pound of peanut butter sprinkled with sand that was packed into that parcel thoroughly coating every mm of that paper You will work harder and longer to clean it up to determine th... | |
| Right match Break in wont fix what you’re describing. Have you read the manual? Have you contacted the dealer or seller that sold you this preamp to attempt to troubleshoot it over the phone? | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @samgar2 👍 | |
| ETHERNET CABLES @samgar2 I believe you had asked a question to get educated, take your system to the next level, explore and learn. You have a variety of opinions here with some that are based on theories and some based on personal experience and objective listen... | |
| ETHERNET CABLES just let it go @nonoise you will be annoying the ASR crowd and wasting your time. Looks like ASR site may have been down for maintenance or they all just took a wrong exit. | |
| Right match Matching pre to amp you use pre output impedance and amp input impedance | |
| Right match Also, your M8 output impedance is 47ohm and a perfect match with your amplifier’s input impedance of 50kohm. | |
| Right match There is a switch on the back of M8 that toggles between MM and MC. Like I said if you are using a turntable, make sure it plugged into the phono input on the back of M8, it is grounded to the ground screw, and the MM/MC toggle switch is set accor... |
