| My Major System Upgrades in 2022 and Impact of Each Wow @nyev! You have been busy! Congratulations and thanks for such a great summary. Your journey has been quite similar to mine, albeit a bit quicker! And it is fascinating in that while we each have upgraded almost identical components with ... | |
| Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable What I have learned is that it is actually the midrange that deserves the main cable. Now in almost all applications this means wire to the highs first, if you consider them high and low. In a true three way speaker it is wiring to the "mid and ... | |
| Pair of Rel S510’s or Carbon Special’s? I have both Carbon Limiteds and Carbon Specials in my two systems. Both are wonderful and are so much better than my previous Paradigm subs and many I have heard. I try to avoid the DSP. I get the word ONLY in where they are going. I said tha... | |
| Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable? Last night I further experimented with my EtherRegen and Muon Streaming System going into my Tambaqui DAC. I first removed both and went direct ethernet (from my Silent Angel switch). The sound definitely became smaller and harsher. Then I put i... | |
| Single vs Bi-wire Speaker Cable I started with a good pair of speaker cables and matching jumpers. (K-S Elation). Then I swapped out the jumpers for another pair of Elation cables. Sounded better. This is apples to apples, not comparing a good cable with matching jumpers to ... | |
| Roon Core Server Player Yes this is great discussion thanks everyone! As I try to improve my digital, I come across this dilemma: HIgh end Server Streamers do just that. Serve and Stream. Even getting clarity on nomenclature is tricky as different manufacturers use d... | |
| Roon Core Server Player Hello @lalitk, (got it right this time! :) No, I have talked to EtherRegen and been advised that an upgraded power supply has little impact. I have however heard of huge improvements with modded Power Supply for Aries. BTW a few Amazon heat s... | |
| Roon Core Server Player Hi Laltik, Thanks for the kind words! I was looking at a clock very seriously, then pointed my efforts at the Muon Filter System. I am considering a Sean Jacobs Power Supply for my Aries. I also want to borrow the EtherRegen to my upstairs s... | |
| Roon Core Server Player Hi Doug, Before I had the Nucleus+ on the network, and the Tambaqui has factory installed internet bridge, so hardwired ethernet to the Tambaqui DAC from my Modem / Switch. Now I have the Aries on the network and USB to the DAC. Modem > Bonn... | |
| Roon Core Server Player Hi Doug, I Kept my Roon Core on my Nucleus+, and added an Auralic Aries G2.1 It improved things noticeably, going USB into my Tambaqui DAC. I know you are asking for Core on the Steamer, but I like my Core (Nucleus) in my computer room (office)... | |
| New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement Hi OP, many good thoughts here! I formerly used an Inakustik 3500p power conditioner. It did not throttle power and worked great. I then installed dedicated 20 amp circuits (first two and then I liked them so much I installed another. I need o... | |
| Any thoughts on Salamander Synergy cabinets? If the size fits I think they are fine. Keep the back open. I have had both a one unit upright rack and a three unit lower rack for in front of a TV. (Salamander). I think a nicer rack is Timbernation. This guy is a gem and will build any size ... | |
| Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable? The Rubicon is no longer available. A new switch is coming... | |
| Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable? Oh my typing...Muon...It made.. also easily available here in US | |
| Etheregen - doesn't seem right that it gets so hot, dangerous? Unpredictable? Oh the Muon Filter is Audio Network's (England) new ethernet filter, made to surpass the previous Eno Filter. If you get their matching ethernet cable, it is the 'Mupn System' https://www.networkacoustics.com/muon/ I made a nice improvemen... |
