Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
LEDs add noise. Bypass and listen. In a well resolving system with a person who cares about such sonic things the sonic impact can be heard. Yes I am a crazy audiofool so try for yourself and let your own ears and system decide.   
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
LEDs hurt the sound. I learned this long ago. I have disabled all the LEDs (possible) in my gear.   
Ray Charles - "Rap is not music"
@ab2ab    Nice post and thank you!  
Ray Charles - "Rap is not music"
It’s ok to have opinions. Just how we each feel and it’s mature to allow opinions without judgement and ridicule. I think rap is not good music and the message found in most of it is both dangerous and destructive for society. Not all of it, but t... 
Help with V-Cap ODAM directionality in crossover
Proper heat dissipation by allowing air flow all around resistors. Perhaps a tad too high off the board, but overall a great idea. Need to lift resistors off the board and do not use hot glue anywhere near resistors!  Depending on where the board... 
Help with V-Cap ODAM directionality in crossover
I assumed you were just using the Odams on the tweeter board. If using them on the woofer board, then that cap is most likely in parallel with the woofer driver output leads. This cap position is far less important than a series cap, but still can... 
Help with V-Cap ODAM directionality in crossover
We cannot see under the board to see how it is wired. Nobody can tell you without seeing the circuit and the circuit is not visible on the top of the board. Simply study the circuit under the board or even better use your multimeter checking for ... 
Cary Audio CD 306 SACD player (non Pro version)
I understand pretty well what can be fixed, but Cary themselves could not even fix the board. They designed the unit and repair their stuff. Certainly reason for caution!  
Cary Audio CD 306 SACD player (non Pro version)
One note of caution on the Cary 306 PRO. I owned one and it needed repair. Cary could not fix it and the impacted new board had to be shipped from China. It took well over a month and cost me around $1000 many years ago. I doubt these boards are a... 
What amps are out there that are Class A, 50 wpc into 8 ohms?
It appears Wilson of Clayton Audio is retired.   
How much does a DAC do the more expensive it is?
Thank you @ghdprentice       
Innuous Zenith Mk3 and Phoenix vs Esoteric N-05XD
Right about Sense as it is not Roon in terms of features etc…However, it sounds so much better.  Wish we could have Roon functionality with the sound quality of Sense.  
Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality
Contact Richard Trussell of NA as he is a straight shooter and will let you know. Great guy and company.   rich@networkacoustics.com  
Audio Solution Figero M Speakers
Nice speakers for sure.  I upgraded the crossovers in the larger L and the results were outstanding.  Your speakers have nice drivers and cabs, but they did skimp on the crossover parts.  All sand cast resistors and several electrolytic caps. You ... 
Streaming Sound Quality - Want the very best sound quality? Network Acoustics ENO...
These Network Acoustics filters and cables are really the real deal. NA is much better known today compared to when they started just a couple of years ago! I started with their ENO, moved up the Muon and will soon go Pro! Every move up the line ...
