| Clock vs Streamer advice @audphile1 @zpatenaude37 Aurender has already implemented Roon integration, but to date it is only to allow Aurender be a Roon endpoint. This means a separate Roon core is still required. To enable the Aurender to be a Roon endpoint, users just ne... | |
| Accuphase, fuses I am an authorized Synergistic Research dealer since May 2023, but as an audiophile I have used SR cables, fuses and accessories since 2016. I started on black fuses, moving to blue, orange and purple. Blue fuses were wonderful, much better than ... | |
| Cary DMS 700 vs Aurender A300 @rkfaberdds I am an Aurender dealer, but I used to have an almost all Cary system. The two units approach the solution very differently. The A200 is a streamer/server first and a DAC second. The chassis design, power supply, and isolation charact... | |
| Clock vs Streamer advice @zpatenaude37 Definitely move away from the computer as others said. There are three areas that a quality streamer focuses on that largely results in the quality of its performance. First is noise reduction, which is actually two areas. The fir... | |
| Your Not-So-Obvious Best Fidelity LPs One of my “new” yet will be all time favorites is Belafonte Sings the Blues on Analogue Productions. It can still be had and is a completely holographic performance, maybe even better than Muddy Waters’ Folk Singer. Belafonte sounds so cool in thi... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-8B and 8C Speakers best footers to use Since the SA stands are mostly to provide stabilization and reduce vibration through mass, I think the Isoacoustics footers will add significant additional improvement, both on carpet (with the spikes) and on wood (without) as they add the benefit... | |
| Add a pre-amp to Mola Mola Tambaqui? @questforhifi GTT Audio is the distributor for Mola Mola in the US will know the dealer closest to you. You may want to give them a call. | |
| Good measuring DACs vs. @koestner That is highly unlikely, but I’d be curious to hear if there are any. 300B are directly heated triodes, which tend to emit tons of RFI and EMI. Placing their circuits near a digital signal almost always results in noise leakage / interfe... | |
| Add a pre-amp to Mola Mola Tambaqui? Honestly, a wonderful and affordable tube preamp that would pair with the Tambaqui and has a small form factor is the Audio Mirror Linea. It is barebones but at $3K better sounding that Vinnie Rossi solutions that cost over $10K. | |
| Add a pre-amp to Mola Mola Tambaqui? I have owned a Tambaqui and at the same time had a customer consign a Makua with the DAC built in. Unless you are dead set on conserving space, I would opt for a separate preamp and use the full Tambaqui unit. While the preamp is very clean, it di... | |
| T+A Elektroakustik Caruso R 10 I’m a T+A dealer but do not have any on my floor. I did hear them at AXPONA in 2022, but the playback was fairly soft because the team was catering to the headphone wearers as they were highlighting the Solitaire P headphones and HA 200 headphone ... | |
| Aurender N150 vs N200 Luckily I will have two. :) I’ll evaluate it on its own and will compare experiences to the two box approach. | |
| Aurender N150 vs N200 @lalitk Yes, in short if I ever had to close down my dealership and downsize everything, I'd likely sell most of my components and just stick with the AP20. That's how impressed I am with it. But more to come later. Lackluster Roon core options a... | |
| Aurender N150 vs N200 @lalitk Well, like I said, they do have some other integrations in the works. I’m not sure what that means but I’m looking forward to them. Speaking of Roon cores, I will have a Synergistic Research Voodoo streamer/server coming around end of mon... | |
| Aurender N150 vs N200 @ghdprentice Thanks! I got a bit busy with life for a while and haven’t been on the forums much in the last quarter, but in trying to get myself back regularly once again. :) |
