| Measurements for a dedicated line @erik_squires Thanks for the insight. Yes, my PP10 is the original and the PP12 replaced it. Even Paul once kindof ruminated that the PP10 might be the better option, especially for amps. Too bad about Jensen. PS Audio is tough competition. ... | |
| Measurements for a dedicated line @erik_squires I assume you're referring to the new PP12 that weighs 1/3 what my PP10 does. I'm still surprised that they output noise but I'm pretty sure my 90 lb behemoth isn't class D. --Jerry | |
| Measurements for a dedicated line @erik_squires noise is often mentioned but I would never install a dedicated line for noise control. to me the only real reason is to make is a size bigger to accomodate your amps rapid power needs. Mine is 10 awg. I admit I was lucky to have an a... | |
| How does bi-wiring work? Not very well. If biwiring helps, then your original speaker cables were inadequate. | |
| Roon is snappy responsive now @erik_squires I'm pretty sure I'm running a minimalist Linux too. I ran ROCK on a NUC before I got the Grimm which has it built it (it also has a NUC inside). But I don't know if Grimm runs ROCK or a version closer to the Roon Nucleus. ROCK has... | |
| Volume levels I'll post my view which is contrary to many others and I recognize that and don't want to start an argument. but I find the need to turn a system up to hear it perform to be a weakness. I can listen to my system in the 60dB range and it really p... | |
| Roon is snappy responsive now I downloaded the latest update but didn't see any change. My audio system including my roon core is hard wired to the modem. My computer/phone/tablet that I control it on are wireless. My internet service has been poor lately, probably associa... | |
| Cable upgrades I just read this sad thread where a bunch of people who had never heard they OPs system, seen the cables, or heard the cables convinced him to try to return them and then suspect they were counterfeit because they didn't sound right. Please apolo... | |
| My Four Favorite SS Amps I only have a list of SS amps I don't like. So I enjoyed opening this to see which 4 you picked (none were on my list). thanks. Jerry | |
| The Unmeasurable Aspects of High-End Audio – PS Audio @mahler123 Indeed there are some idiots that I declined to name that post a lot of absolute BS about equipment, especially high end equipment, based on their measurements of things that don't matter. I hope PSA crushes them. Jerr | |
| Comparing streamer/DACs between $5-10k You're limiting your choices tremendously. | |
| The Unmeasurable Aspects of High-End Audio – PS Audio Perhaps I'm quibbling, or perhaps what I'm about to say will resonate with a lot of readers. I wouldn't say that things are unmeasurable. I'd just say that we haven't developed a method to measure many of the things that make a system great. Fur... | |
| DAC/Streamer/PreAmp You mentioned Grimm. I use a Grimm MU1 and a Lampizator GG3 and achieve great soundstage and the midrange you like, but doesn’t fit the budget you have set now. The grimm includes a Roon core (I think you have to use it). So is roon a go or no go... | |
| Cable Break In for the Naysayers Well if you say so. | |
| I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming @lalitk Yep, that is what I had to do. I've done that every since I had roon but I thought that with a modem with 2 ports I might be able to eliminate one cable and one connection....but I think the modem has 2 parallel 1 Gig systems as opposed t... |
