High end speakers at low volume
@ricco275 I am a T+A dealer and am recommending one of their speakers for this post as it fits your criteria. Look into the T+A Talis S 300 floorstander. It is not a high efficiency speaker, but it should be an excellent match with your Vitus. It ... 
Ripping CD's to SSD?
@fthompson251 I would also consider the transport and digital cable you are using to contribute to the quality of the digital file. Just as an audiophile transport can improve the sound of a CD by delivering less noise and vibration that translate...

@lalitk You're totally right -- I'm mixing up the N30SA and the MC20 (facepalming myself). Thank you for the correcting my mistake.

@fastfreight I am actually an Aurender dealer, though I purchased my N30SA prior to becoming a dealer. Happy to chat options if you have interest. I’ve provided services and sales to a number of folks in this community. To surpass the Grimm, the ...

@ghdprentice I agree. I think the Grimm is a different flavor from the N20, for example, with the N20 having more density, richness, slam and refinement and the Grimm being dryer and thinner. I haven’t compared the W20SE or W20 to the Grimm, but I...

@communique1 The N200 is the best bang for the buck on the Aurender line, congrats! IMO the N20 and N30SA are even better than the Grimm, so if ever the time comes that you are itching to upgrade, talk with your Aurender dealer to see if there is ... 
What are your favorite songs or albums for illustrating a deep soundstage?
@danager What you suggest is true for Magnepans, which I confirmed when I had them on the floor last year, but I believe these speakers may have different results to the design of the line array midrange drivers inherently having a very narrow dis... 
What are your favorite songs or albums for illustrating a deep soundstage?
Thanks all for the continued wonderful submissions. I look forward to putting them in the queue tomorrow. It’s been a heavy week for me and haven’t had much time for personal listening time.  @audphile1 I started this thread because I have always... 
Ethernet switches the good and bad
@vonhelmholtz “It can”, but it doesn’t mean it will. It will depend on the amount of noise coming in as the Ethernet Switch UEF will do an incredible job reclocking and filtering the signal. For me, I had the EtherRegen a few years ago and it made... 
Usher TD-20
I find the Usher TD-20 to be a very warm and lush speaker. Going from the Rowland to the Gryphon would add even more of this, which could be too much of a good thing. One thing that allows the Usher to sound less warm is having enough space for it... 
How many of you streaming?
When I am enjoying music I know, I typically listen to full albums or playlists I’ve constructed. But about 30% of the time I am in “discover” mode and play a single song, letting Qobuz form the rest of the playlist for me. I’m usually pretty impr... 
My Sonic Lab Platinum v Gold Signature
I’d say it’s completely honest. Not on the cool side at all.   
My Sonic Lab Platinum v Gold Signature
To concur with some of the others’ statements, I also went from an Airtight PC-1s, which was a considerably warm cartridge, but almost equally as magical as the Sig Gold. I found the Sig Gold to be just a little less bloomy and much better in term... 
My Sonic Lab Platinum v Gold Signature
@wrm57 Fair points. In all honesty I’m 100% satisfied with my Sig Gold. I’m happy that it costs a bit less as well. :) I have a thought on the Gold that is a bit off topic of this thread, so I will message you directly. Look out for that if you c... 
My Sonic Lab Platinum v Gold Signature
I own the Gold on the TriPlanar U12 SE and have absolutely no complaints. I don’t find it to be too warm, but I am pairing it with the Simaudio Moon 810LP, which will be much more neutral compared to your Allnic H3000. I also know two people who o...
