| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev I read one post from a guy who loved his Shunyata Omega USB so much that he was basing his choice of system components around this cable. Whomever posted that isnt someone with whom I would agree with about very much. His statement is s... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Once again, no offense intended, but I don't think of Audioquest Diamond and "touch of warmth" in the same thought string. You are venturing where many have been and the left turn/right turn decision tree can be interesting. When I had m... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Indeed, perhaps surprising while maybe not all that surprising. I can't speak for the others who have commented but in the back of my mind, no matter how good we all think the Gryphon dac module may be, it will likely be the weak point... | |
| Audio Research i/50 The McIntosh 252 doesnt have autobias, it does have tubes in the preamp stage of a solid state integrated amplifier. How would they compare? Two different audiences bult to drive two different kinds of speakers. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Listen, I’m not trying to be difficult…but..you are considering acquiring two, maybe three $15kish server/streamers simultaneously. I’m not sure I understand why you might be worried about whether you can return a $1-1.5k aes cable or duti... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? You would have had the Jorma last week from The Cable Company. I’ve found when manufacturers have a distribution partner, they expect it to be used. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Often I will cut multiple strips of painters tape, the same number of strips of heavy duty graph paper (the kind with precise grids). I place the strips according to precise measurements. I mark the paper with the corresponding measurem... | |
| Anybody try the new Heaven 11 Billie Mk 2? @hilde45 Well said. He makes money from clicks and he makes money from buying a piece of gear for X, shills it (hey, its likely good stuff) and then sells it for 2X. In the securities inductry, pumpr & dump is a form of this practice. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? And to re-setup your speakers. Its a thing. Seriously. | |
| Anybody try the new Heaven 11 Billie Mk 2? @temmple Huff is just trying to monetize his channel. Nothing wrong with that. He is also using the sale/resale of those items he buys at industry accommodation (or gets for free for reviewing them) and then after a period of time passes, he... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Could I suggest, respectfully, that you perform a couple of very important techniques. First, the differences between servers will be material but at this level they are each very, very good. The fact that all you are changing with spe... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk Later I switched to a Network Attached DAC with external clock and power supply. The N20 connected to my DAC via LAN (no USB or AES cabling) and re-clocked by external 10MHz clock was a different beast all together. The effect of extern... | |
| Anybody try the new Heaven 11 Billie Mk 2? @tubeguy76 There is alot to unpack with your query. First of all, the Heaven 11 Billie seems to be a really cool all in one and a bargain at anywhere near its price. Its likely to be compared with other all-in-ones like the Naim Atom or N... | |
| Anybody try the new Heaven 11 Billie Mk 2? @tubeguy76 The Heaven 11 Billie and the Pass XA25 are completely different animals: one is an all in one dac/phono/$2k class d integrated and the other (Pass) is a class a solid state amplifier only. Maybe cross shipping with something like a Pe... | |
