Innuos Pulsar - Some Interesting Info for Innuos Owners
I'll ask my dealer for an update tomorrow.  
Denafrips Terminator Plus vs T+A DAC 200
@nitewulf I had an MHDT Balanced Pagoda, which is an R2R, for a while too. I really liked the sound of it but thought the build quality was a little weak. It also wouldn't work using my Lumin U1 Mini as a volume control while all other DACs did. I... 
what to do with a stereo that needs repair
What country and part of the country are you in? Someone may have a suggestion for a tech.  
Denafrips Terminator Plus vs T+A DAC 200
@nitewulf Even though I've had both in my house, I had a different amp when I tried the Rockna.  My thoughts at the time of the Rockna were that it was slightly less warm than the Bricasti but warmer than quite a few other DACs. The Bricasti was s... 
Is Bob Weir Redefining State of the Art Recording?
Wake Up to Find Out is my most played streaming Dead by a lot. I guess it just sounds more "real" than others. I like Dick's Picks sound on 11, 12, 14, 18 and 19. To me live music should have the rawness that was present when it was played. To to... 
Is Bob Weir Redefining State of the Art Recording?
@jsalerno277 I found that Katja Werker a few weeks ago. Great recording.  I listened to that Vol 2 album Friday night figuring that's what OP was talking about. Sounds great but overly polished. That's the way Bobby likes it and, unfortunately, t... 
Amp Warranty Repair - What's an acceptable timescale for turnaround?
There’s distributors out there that seem to protect the manufacturers like it’s some sort of job security thing. Dealers aren’t allowed to contact the company directly. Distributors attitude is if you want this fantastic product you have to wait, ... 
Is Bob Weir Redefining State of the Art Recording?
Yes, please explain. The Dead always cared about sound so there's some great recordings out there but what specifically about Bobby are you writing about?  
GR Research/ Jays iyagi speaker cable blind test
I agree @htaddict. Comparing a $500 to a $2000 cable is more interesting to me and probably more "fair" but the idea is to see if he could choose his own cable vs a cheap one.  I think it says more about the cheap cable than it does about his own ... 
GR Research/ Jays iyagi speaker cable blind test
Not surprising when it's a cable made to hit a low price point and look good to attract buyers. It's not designed based on how it sounds. Danny picked 8 out of 10, which also shows that most people don't "need" to spend a lot on cables. He even sa... 
Preamp Advice/experiences needed
I do not recommend an Ayre preamp if you're not using it balanced, which I assume the CJ is not. Ayre optimizes their equipment for true balanced operation. I've used the KX-5 Twenty balanced and unbalanced, same with a non-Twenty version of the K... 
Subwoofer Choice
It looks like only the 1000 Pro series has speaker level inputs. The Michi has subwoofer outs for dual subs. Each output is mono with the left and right signal summed.  
Help. System sounds thin and bright or harsh
You could get a pair of SVS 3000 Micro subs for $1700. They have an app for setup and allow phase adjustment from 0-180, rather than REL’s 0 or 180. I’ve found that alone allows for better fine tuning. REL not having an app makes setup frustrating... 
Passion for Sound on Analysis Plus and cost/benefit of spending on cables
Thanks for posting the video. I just had a handful of interconnects home and spent about 2 weeks listening to them. They definitely each sound different, some only slightly, but different. The "lowest" level one was a World's Best Cable from Amazo... 
Name 3 songs where audio quality and song quality completely align
Jonah Yano - Shoes (not all in English in case it bothers someone) Lady Blackbird - Fix It (the whole album is great) Daily Bread, Artifakts (it's under Various Artists on Roon for some reason) - Next Level Style (great for bass, really, don't p...
