| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? How are you guys comparing ethernet cables for the Mu1? | |
| Purchase on Audiogon arrived not as described A zero feedback buyer purchasing from a zero feedback seller… unfortunate. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk Now that’s interesting…Isn’t MU1 immune to Audiophile LAN cables? I believe the Grimm is less sensitive to ethernet cables than one might assume. I believe it is essentially agnostic if provided a stable and reliable connection and da... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @thyname I think the fad is dying up pretty quick. I love to be proven wrong. All the OG Grimm enthusiasts I know gave up on it. Admittedly my sample size is small Most of the Grimm users with whom I’m acquainted have happily hopped off the ... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... This whole exercise seems the equivalent of shoehorning a V12 into a Pinto. The NHT’s at their very best won’t be exceptional. Your $$$ though. | |
| Why is Audiogon insisting on a verified physical address in order to post? Spam, phishing posts | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? @bigfatpaulie what size is your room? The reason I ask is the Sabrina is more room agnostic than the Sasha. Too small and the Sasha's may not even sound as good as your Sabrinas. | |
| Why Don’t You Post Your System on Your Profile? @buckhorn_cortez I think you are mis-interpreting (at least sincere Audiogoners) the wish that everyone would post their gear. Its not who has the loudest exhaust at Cars & Coffee, its about learning everyone's journey and perhaps learning/i... | |
| HELP ... What NEW tubes would you select for a Manley Stingray? Either buy direct from Manley, Upscale or perhaps Watford Valves(Jeff Day likes these tubes fwiw). https://www.watfordvalves.com/product_detail.asp?id=879 A note of caution: 7189's can be used in an el84 amp, el84's can NOT be used in an amp ... | |
| Tube Rolling Leben CS-600X ST is the tube shape. Non traditional names just do your research to ensure the electrical characteristics are similar enough. Many el34 amps must be populated with el34 tubes that adhere to el34 specs. Since the Leben accepts 6l6gc's you have mor... | |
| Tube Rolling Leben CS-600X The 6dn3 is to mitigate power on current so no benefit to rolling. You might consider NOS Tung Sol 5881 for the power tubes. Get a nice pair of 12au7’s, perhaps some old Mullards or Brimars, it all depends on your tonal preferences. Perhaps even s... | |
| New DAC! Meitner MA3, Denafrips Terminator Plus, Holo May KTE, Mola Mola Tambaqui @jorjlien why don't play SACD with Spdif connections? Limited bandwidth, typically maxes out at 24/192 (DOP) | |
| How to prevent visitors from touching your system Why i it a big deal. Music is to be enjoyed and shared…and everything can be repaired. Friendships and relationships trump stuff. Besides, I would rather them touch a vacuum tube and learn they can get pretty hot…and I would rather them touch an a... | |
| What happened to all the highend stereo shops @crlambert No. But the answer is none of your self-righteous business. I have assisted with numerous efforts over the decades, helping where and when I am able in relief efforts of varying magnitude for varying causes. The only time I question ... | |
| What happened to all the highend stereo shops @jjss49 I 100% agree with you! I also apologize to any of the "normal" Audiogon crew but this guy just drop some bombs into our playground and I thought he should receive a "reply". He won't like it but hey.... I too miss the old radio store w... |
