| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System @maurice89 Already, the sound is so much more natural. I was anxious it wouldn't do a big difference, it's counter intuitive to spend so much money on an ethernet filter Congratulations with your successful outcome. Counter intuitive? It see... | |
| Why so few devices with BNC's?? @cd318 After I eventually ditched the BNC/RCA adapters and got my Linn tonearm cable terminated with BNCs I was just a little disappointed to find that the amount of improvement in the sound equalled an absolute zero. As Shakespeare might h... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? IF the Innuos wins at USB, but the Aurender AES sounds best overall, I’d think Aurender wins the battle overall. For me at least. Fun times…… A rational conclusion if this were to be the outcome. @sns is right. Whichever signal path output/inp... | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 @aprforsale I am a strong proponent of the sonic attributes of 300b SET amplifiers. I am surprised with your 300b amplifier and Sonus Faber pairing. Bottom line, you are happy with the results. Charles | |
| Ordered a Willsenton R300 @skyforger Congratulations ! Nice to know that you are off to such an impressive start. Given the type of music you are listening to I am not surprised. the amplifier is revealing more aliveness and naturalness. Certainly, makes for a more eng... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @sns I can only come to conclusion they find totally optimized usb inferior to top flight SPDIF. The question is have they indeed done this? That could very well be it. Perhaps these manufacturers have done their own testing and comparing and f... | |
| SET Distortion at higher volumes? @dhcod Is this the same issue that prompted your other thread regarding 20 watt or higher amplifier options? Charles | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Since the N20 is the lowest priced option, would it still be a higher class than my current Zenith Mk 2 + PhoenixUSB? I’m pretty sure the K50 and MU1 must be Nothing but speculation and assumptions. Follow your plan to listen to all 3 of them.... | |
| SET Distortion at higher volumes? The problem was traced to the tonearm. The amplifier is not the culprit. Charles | |
| SET Distortion at higher volumes? @dhcod Problem solved. Tonearm issue. Thanks, these responses directed me elsewhere. I am happy that you sorted it out. As with other posters here I was skeptical about assuming it’s the SET amplifier at the heart of the issue. I use an 8 wat... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Given that stated scenario I would begin with the Aurender N20. Very good reputation, less expensive option and due to its popularity shouldn’t be hard to re-sell if necessary. 2nd choice, MU-1 due to undeniable intrigue (Even with the minor cosme... | |
| Why so few devices with BNC's?? @russ69 If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. The RCA’s only weakness is long cable runs, the XLR solved that issue and is a standard at this point. The BNC offers nothing in the way of improved sonics. Is BNC genuinely better sounding in audio comp... | |
| New Project RS2T transport @lak thank you everything‘s working superbly. ;-) 👍😊 Charles | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk I have gotten feedback from other users that new Muon Pro ahead of MU1 is quite effective and it really lifts its game. It appears MU1 requires a Gigabit Ethernet so Muon Pro makes sense. It’s worth pointing out, Hans Beekhuyzen feedbac... | |
| Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure 8/0.9 = 9 @rwpollock which is pretty low and down in the tube amp range. The SIT-3 has a damping factor of 30. Good observation. This is actually what the Nenuphar was designed to work with due to the highly damped driver implemented. Charles |
