| Fee for home audition @jayctoy I send and receive notes to/from those with whom I have business or personal relationships. Its something thats done in certain circles. I have found that clear expectations up front has helped to establish some great relationships ... | |
| Fee for home audition @svenjosh I think I know the dealer you are referring to. If it is, he is the gentleman who sold me my Grimm. He is a stand up guy and once you’ve developed a relationship with him, you will understand why he does what he does. Its rational. ... | |
| Streamers made in America? @dean_palmer dean_palmer 12 posts 02-09-2023 at 01:32pm Just an idea for flexibility and sound quality, I bought this unit for CD and video as well. Panasonic DP-UB9000P1K. Audio section gets great reviews. Balanced output for 2-channel... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" @itsjustme I'm surprised at Ray' comment. I wonder what the context was. Well, for starters, Mr. Charles passed away almost 20 years ago. Mr. Charles was also a product of his generation....big band, blues, covers. Rap/Hip hop was different b... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @malibu457 I’m envious that you have access to wonderful live music and I’m further impressed by the effort you must make to do so. Kudos to you! Seriously, if you are happy and content with your sound then you are doing it right. If you are c... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk I hold out hope that if we are patient with one another and just share what has worked for us, the curious will see for themselves….or not. Either way, posts like I just shared with @malibu457 might be applicable to him/her/they or it mi... | |
| Gary Rossington RIP Survive a plane crash and every day thereafter is a gift. RIP | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @malibu457 what do you get specifically for the extra $9500? and can a streamed file compete with say a hi-res download from Presto music? Hi Malibu. Let me begin by saying I am not familiar with presto music. My own, likely flawed, methodolo... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @malibu457 but for those still able to hear….there are levels of magnitude more performance available. If you are saying I shouldnt spend more money on an Aurender, Taiko or Grimm because you can’t hear the difference….I guess I would have to di... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" I LOVE Ray Charles…well, some of his music except for the shameless, over orchestrated covers but hey, he had to make a living. I don’t take financial advice from Ray Charles. I don’t take marital advice from Ray Charles. I don’t take advice fr... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev A couple of observations and a little cajoling to follow. First of all, the Merason DAC1 can be end game for some but based on this thread, it was likely to never be more than an external dac proof of concept in your system. You needed... | |
| How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is? @kairosman +1 I must also admit that our biases, both positive and negative biases, play a role. For instance, the fact that ASR shills for Topping negatively affects my impression of their products in much the same way if your ex-wife likes s... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Greetings. I wouldn’t listen too critically to the Merason until you get proper interconnects. Output from the balanced Merason outputs doubles up to 3v. The 1.5v output from the rca outputs combined with your “classic” Audioquest intercon... | |
| Whole reference system was stolen, need budget friendly integrated. Help Please! You must “schedule” or list higher value items above a certain amount. They then charge additional premium for the specific bumps in coverage. Each company and their respective amount limits are different. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev It states AES input at 24/96 on the website. I moved on some time ago and my current dac (Totaldac) is NOS 24/192 on that input, which aligns perfectly with the max of the Grimm. I was all in on DSD, never on MQA. A respected mastering eng... |
