| Innuos Zenith MK3 I own the Zenmini and the Zen Mk3. I have not had any issues with skipping.I did have an issue with the Roon software crashing 2 weeks ago. I went back to an earlier version, and only recently moved back to the current version. So far, it works as... | |
| any suggestions on what to replace Bluesound Node 2i with I moved to the Innous Zen Mini and Zenith for my networked systems.I had the Bluesound Node's before. I upgraded my DAC's to Ayre QB-9's, so I needed something that used USB instead of optical.In any case, I am very satisfied with the changes.@OP,... | |
| Vandersteen VSM-1 and End Caps I don't see a problem changing color if you sand them down and put on a primer.I believe the end caps are made of wood, at least the ones I own look like wood.The VLR's are designed more for multi channel listening rather than stereo- like the 1,2... | |
| Poor grammar is disappointing and decidedly distracting in formal audio reviews. Eats, shoots and leaves.You know, the Panda, at the restaurant.B | |
| AQ Water XLR or Yukon XLR - DAC to Preamp- sound comparisons I had Mackensie's and moved to Water. It was an improvement-mostly in clarity and improved imagining.I would recommend just going with the WEL's, if you can stomach the price.- I know I will when I find a set for sale used.Bob | |
| Linear Power Supply and Roon Nucleus/SGC From my limited experience, an LPS will make a difference -usually for the better.Though I would say upgrading speaker cables would be my first choice.B | |
| Need a DAC Recommendation. An Ayre Codex will give the Schiit Yggy a run for the money, plus you can get one for less than $1K.I owned both, but have moved to the Ayre Qb-9 Twenty.B | |
| Ayre ex8 I don't own an EX-8, but do own the QB-9 Twenty, which Ayre, as told to me by Ryan Berry told me is similar to the newer Ayre DAC models.In any case, I doubt you will be disappointed.Bob | |
| How many of you are digital only systems? Digital for me, as well.High rez formats are good enough for me. Plus the fact that I don't have to get up every 30 minutes or so to change the record.Digital is in it's infancy. And, I think, like in photography, digital will mature to the point ... | |
| Townshend Audio ones Through @samgar,The Podiums will help with isolating vibrations in equipment, but room deficiencies are another matter. The Podiums might help, but you really need to address the glass, as well as the other issues, separately,IMHO.Bob | |
| Cable for AudioQuest Niagara 1200 @OP,I own 2 of the AQ 1200's. I use Tornado power cords.At the very least, Thunder power cords, at the best Hurricane's.It all depends upon your budget and system.Bob | |
| Mahler vs. Strauss @lowrider57 ,Yes, you are correct. My bad...B | |
| Mahler vs. Strauss I never warmed to Richard Strauss. Even though he stated that he could describe a teaspoon through music, I find it hard to listen to. Add to that fact that he was a deadbeat and anti-Semite, I would rather concentrate on other composers.Mahler, o... | |
| Streaming transport suggestions I just found Innuos and like it.Do you need multi room capability?B | |
| Sonic differences between servers @OP, After having a Bluesound system, I recently moved to Innuos.That required a new app to stream music. I bought Squeeze Control, but found Roon to be superior. -Especially in the user interface.- I don't think you'll find a better one.Bob |
