| Background vibration and your system. @jallan Thanks for your interesting post. Great problem... I love challenges like that. Sound like fun. You know Silent Running Audio... started with platforms for scanning electron microscopes and submarines? I don't know that much about them... | |
| AC cord for Manley Chinook... @v-fi I agree they work best on amps. I actually use Transparent interconnects and power cords on all my other stuff. I certainly understand why folks would seek saving money via off brands. I personally found it hit or miss so much that in the ... | |
| Aurender N20 versus Innuos Zen NG I actually tested a Grimm mu1 in my system. It is a great sounding streamer. But the mechanical interface if not very good... the button. The app is not where as good as Conductor and the Aurrender is a smaller amount quieter and more dynamic. | |
| AC cord for Manley Chinook... Also, this is a great video by Cailin Gabriel of Shunyata 9:30 minutes in he addresses the question of how can the last six feet matter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpAsUgv24jc | |
| AC cord for Manley Chinook... I recommend trying an Audio Quest Hurricane. If you want quiet, transparent, dynamic sound. Exactly what the Hurricane did for my Audio Research amp. I spent a year auditioning different cords, and each tipped the tone or was not as dynamic as the... | |
| What is wrong with me? Nothing wrong with you. I love the sound of some of the old tube amps. Reminds me of being a child. Warm and emotionally involving. Much of the most important information... most of the rhythm and pace seems to come through highly bloomed midrange... | |
| how can I insure a shipment for more than $10,000 I am not sure of your situation. But I have my dealer do everything, so I am never in a position of shipping anything like that. | |
| Record Storage Problem Hmm, I have a collection of that I have put into outer sleeves in the 1990's in Tucson. Then I have moved to the Pacific Northwest about twenty years ago. I have never seen any evidence of mold or any other problem. | |
| Best Audiophile Album in terms of Dynamic Range and Mastering Quality? @emergingsoul Generally the great recordings carry over to streaming. I have an extensive vinyl library with a lot of audiophile and well recorded albums When I listen to one of those, thinking they will outperform my streamer (I have a very goo... | |
| Isolation tweaks On a separate note. I have been interested in ambient vibration for a while. So I finally purchased a seismograph. The background activity is surprising and constant. It is much quieter at night. There is a large network of these seismographs. You... | |
| Isolation tweaks Yes, definitely. Although, one must evaluate the value of upgrading your turntable vs spending on accessories. Concrete floors are directly connected to the earth. Which has cars, trucks, large noises, and small earthquakes shaking them at the t... | |
| Better DAC or better Streamer The Aurender 100 is so different it is unreal. The Aurender is leagues better... the SP2000 sounding dry and flat. | |
| Aurender N20 versus Innuos Zen NG I am very much an Aurender fan. From sound quality, build, service and the Conductor app. I have two and heard many others. In my system the quality and tone equal my very high quality vinyl system. However I have not heard the Zen. I often star... | |
| ARC SP-6B Newbie with Questions Great to hear about your rejuvenated classic. Also glad to hear ARC has whittled down the backlog for repair. | |
| Fiber Optic Cable Congrats, thank you for sharing. |
