| Why I Sold My Aurender N200 Roon done right (Grimm MU1 or MU2 or Merging Tech are core as well as streamers and purpose built for Roon). The problem for me was Roon sound quality which is sterille and not engaging. It is the case with network card in Bricasti as well as usi... | |
| Why I Sold My Aurender N200 @rsf507 not to take this conversation elsewhere but I’ve owned the M3 with network card and used it as roon endpoint. I also tried it with Mconnect. It compares well with Lumin U1 Mini that I had and sold because I couldn’t distinguish it from the... | |
| Why I Sold My Aurender N200 @navyachts that is the best destination for the money you got back from the N200 sale. Enjoy the Bricasti it’s an awesome DAC that will bring a smile to your face every time you listen to music. Best part about this hobby is if you realize you hav... | |
| Linear power supply for Weiss DAC 204 @rubicon15 moving to U2 is a better approach than adding a linear PS to the Mini. U2 has more improvements than just the power supply. I was between the U2 and Aurender N200 and chose to go with the Aurender. I never heard the U2 but it’s suppose... | |
| What contributes most to a change in how an amplifier sounds? Power supply, quality of components in critical places, feedback, bias and even chassis design and quality. | |
| Totem Element Metal Version 2 Loudspeaker Totem speakers for $18,500 no thank you. Look into used Wilson Sasha 2, some Magico models, Rockport. If you want Totem, the Wind is where they max out as far as I’m concerned. | |
| Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords? Alternating current (AC) travels back into circuit. Appliances poop into the circuit and that is why dedicated circuits make a difference when you have your components run on a dedicated line. You get cleaner power to your system. Every component... | |
| Luxman JPA15000 power cord? It’s ok there too. Better than stock. I can’t think of a better cord for the money but if you want to go a bit higher in price range Audience Au24se high power or medium power is excellent on digital. I had the Au24se-i MP on Bricasti, Benchmark a... | |
| Luxman JPA15000 power cord? Yes I did and I still highly recommend the F3 especially for the amp. | |
| Single ended speaker cables or Shot gun config? @audioman58 the bass is absolutely critical. It’s what balances out the entire presentation. Lack of bass is what causes brightness. Too much bass and you lose details. Bass also helps to create harmony in music. To think bass is not critical is a... | |
| Linear power supply for Weiss DAC 204 https://teddypardo.com/power-supplies-for-other-brands/ No experience with Weiss or any of the power supplies you mentioned above but Teddy Pardo is well regarded and they make units for the 204. | |
| Spectral preamp/cables @runner is it possible that the Aux is a phono input? Try to see if it is configurable and if so you need to configure it as line level input. Or use another input. Here is the link where it is stated the Aux 3 is optional balanced phono input. h... | |
| Single ended speaker cables or Shot gun config? I would get the matching jumpers from the same cable manufacturer or make my own. I doubt you will hear the difference with a shotgun cable since one pair of binding posts will still require jumpers. Connect the way the speaker manufacturer recomm... | |
| Audience FrontRow USB - I’m puzzled @benzman I have the Select T with the tunable collar. Still tweaking but sounds great in all positions. that’s precisely why I opted for the cable I can’t tweak hahaha. I don’t care about the $250 extra cost for the tunable version. It would... |
