DAC DIRECT IN TO AMPLIFIER OR TO PREAMPLIFIER
I have the Grimm MU1 streamer feeding into a Mola Mola Tambaqui.  I have tried running it direct to my Pass Labs XA30.8 amp versus through my Aesthetix Calypso Eclipse ...and there is a definite improvement going via the preamp.  Don't get me wron... 
High Fidelity Cables?
It appears that Rick Schultz is producing product again.  Apparition is his new cable.  Do a search on Audiogon listings.  They look pretty amazing!  I'm not sure his business model, etc...but I'm thrilled that he's still inventing new products!    
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
For those that own the Grimm MU1, what are your experiences with changes in the power cable?  My findings is that it didn’t make much of a difference in the sound. I currently use the Kubala Sosna Emotion power cord (a slightly warm cable imo). My... 
Contact -enhancer, fuses - NOS 1260 High fidelity audio cables
Has anyone purchased in Canada from Rick’s Canadian website since HFC closed?  Is he still shipping this product?    
Qobuz Coming to Canada!!!

Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@fastfreight I see that you are selling (or have sold) your Aries G2.1/Sean Jacobs.  I'm guessing you're impressed with your Grimm MU1....I was wondering if you can share how the sound improved from the Aries/SJ combo to the Grimm.  Thank you in a... 
Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers
@low325 How is your Grimm MU1 and Tambaqui working out?  Did you keep your Lumin X1 to compare?  I'm curious to hear your findings!     
Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers
@fastfreight Did you get your Sean Jacobs?  Did you hear an obvious improvement?  I'm curious to hear your findings....  
Best One Country System?
I'm going to add a Canadian Turntable to my list:  Kronos!!!!    
Which Cable Makes the Biggest Impact?
I thought I would update this original post and add in the digital cable: 1.  Power Cords (in order of importance: Source, preamp, then amp) 2. Interconnects 3. Digital cables (almost a tie with interconnects) 4.  Speaker cables.....    
Recommendation for Headphones under $250
@soix No, I live alone so it doesn't matter if anyone hears the sound coming from the headphones. @mattmiller ....Wow, I didn't know Grado made headphones so inexpensive!  I'll definitely take a look at those! @patrickdowns ...Thanks for the rec... 
Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers
@metaldetektor So the Grimm would get rid of my Nucleus since it's the core as well?  If so, how are the Roon updates....seamless?  That's one thing I really like about the Nucleus....set it and forget it!  I was watching the Hans Youtube review a... 
Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers
Hi Ken,  Thanks for your reply. I added the Silent Angel Bonn 8 and the HDplex Linear power supply as well.  Instead of the EtherRegen, I opted for the Gigafoil.  I upgraded all the DC power cords for the Nucleaus, Silent Angel, Gigafoil, and my... 
High Fidelity Cables?
If HFC is forever closed, it really is a sad day for audiophiles....In my 45+ years in this hobby, I've really only experienced 2 or 3 a-ha moments....and the HFC power cords/interconnects was one of those moments.  I think Rick is a brilliant aud... 
High Fidelity Cables?
I'm wondering the same thing....is HFC out of business now?  I don't see any remarks from Jessica.  I have an order outstanding with them....Not sure what to do now....I knew they were having supply issues in the past, but they usually delivered (...
