| What is your experience with amp power? @bigkidz I have Vandersteen model Seven speakers 83db driven by 28wpc stereo amp that sounds better than the 220wpc amp and even the 100wpc amps we have Actually I don’t find this particularly surprising. If this is a tube amplifier I suspect... | |
| 845 or 300b with Agalme? @52tiger I went ahead and got the Thoress 845’s, it was a good choice Very nice!!! You had numerous good amplifier options. I believe that you will be thrilled with the Horning Agalme and Thoress 845 SET pairing.There will be no looking back i... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley +1 Well put indeed. Charles | |
| Dennis Had Inspire PSE 300B WOW!!! @tinear123 Congratulations !! It is good to read that you are very happy with your new amplifier. Charles | |
| Wayne Shorter RIP 3/2 Wayne Shorter was a superb tenor saxophonist! He was blessed with a long life and active very productive career. His composition “Infant Eyes “ is among my favorite Jazz ballads. Although life ends for us all, some leave behind a body of work that... | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? @oddiofyl My current DAC is completely void of features , the only thing it does better than the adi2 is sound better. That RME is good but the excellent sounding LAB 12 DAC is much more engaging to listen to. Understood. However, for so... | |
| Dennis Had Inspire PSE 300B WOW!!! @ross6860 My last tube setup was Mr. Had’s design. An AE-25 DJH and matching pre-amp. I probably should have kept it Understood. I imagine that the sound/music presentation was quite wonderful. Charles | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @arafiq Ignore the pompous ignoramus and please carry on. I would add quite childish. Pompous is being kind. Charles | |
| Cary CD 306 SACD player vs newer Marantz SA 10 CD/SACD player @dilatante I believe that @elliottbnewcombjr presented some excellent options for you. 30 days return policy is plenty of time for a relaxed snd thorough home audition. Ideal opportunity to compare to your Cary directly and just listen then deci... | |
| Considering Zu Dirty Weekend over my current B&w 702s2 @soix Another thing to consider if you’re using the DAC in the Node would be to upgrade your DAC and digital cable. The newer R2R DACs tend to have a more natural and organic sound that may yield the improvements you’re looking for This is an... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley I can switch between 2fs and 4fs on the fly and I find the differences to be so minimal that its probably confirmation bias on my part. YMMV. I find this very likely to be the case. I believe that there’s a potential in getting to ca... | |
| Any one use Grimm MU1 with Aries Cerat Kassandra ? @ruff2001 I emailed Aries Cerat and Stavros suggested that, when using the Kassandra AES input with the signal of 44.1 or multiples of it I should use re-clocking. It sounds amazing in my current configuration That is very good news. I have n... | |
| Any one use Grimm MU1 with Aries Cerat Kassandra ? @jamesgoff the best advice is to experiment with different configurations and trust your ears to guide you in finding the best sound for your system. Excellent advice/post. The 4x over sampling certainly may not be the best setting for “ eve... | |
| 845 or 300b with Agalme? @52tiger In my opinion the 211 tube is an excellent option. As has been said many times, the key factor is quality of amplifier built /parts and implementation. 211/845/300b/ 6c33c/GM 70/2A3 etc. Any one of these can provide fabulous sonic resu... | |
