| VAC preamps - too expensive? Thanks for the info, and it makes sense. I wonder if anyone has run REW frequency response for a component with fuse swaps. | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? @highstream That’s interesting regarding the VAC power supply fuse holder. I’m 100% sure I loaded from the top, since my preamp sits inside my entertainment center and can only be accessed from the top. I found the M1 fuse in my N20 to provide ... | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? @highstream I changed the fuse to an Audio Magic Ultimate Premier a while back. The tray slides out about an inch or so and locks without coming all the way out. There are two slots from what I recall where the outer fuse is used in the circuit.... | |

| Aurender N20 @lalitk Thank you very much. I’ll definitely check out critical listening soon, but everything sounds incredible now. I do have the display off though. My bedroom system consists of components over the decades. The Audiolab 8000CD was m... | |
| Aurender N20 @vonhelmholtz Actually thank you for posting this thread. I’ve had the N20 on my radar for a while. I knew that I was going to upgrade, but your thread made me bite the bullet. I’m so happy that I did. Also my dealer informed me that ther... | |
| Aurender N20 The 6-digit code appears on the N20’s screen when connecting to the Conductor app. I guess it’s an authentication code that you enter into the app on the iPad to pair to the N20. I haven’t needed to enter it again. I’ve been listening to the... | |
| Aurender N20 @ghdprentice I’m anxious to hear it in my system, but I’m not excited. After all it’s just a component in my system. Anyway, my N20 was delivered today. I like how easy it is to install the hard drive compared to taking apart the Auralic. It is... | |
| Aurender N20 My N20 just shipped from my dealer, so I should have it this weekend. Like OP, I have a Holo Audio May KTE DAC, but I’m using a Shunyata Omega USB. Both the N20 and DAC will be powered by the Everest using a Sigma v1 PC. Looking forward to hearing... | |
| Streamer Recommendation. @ghdprentice I’m sure that I’ll enjoy the N20. The design of the Aurender by isolating each part of the unit (capacitors, digital circuit board, transformer/power supplies and hard drive space) along with the extra power supply all factor in to ... | |
| Streamer Recommendation. Congrats on your decision to purchase the Auralic Aries G2.1. I’ve had mine for over 2 years and still love it. It works well over Wi-Fi, but I’m using pretty fancy ethernet cabling and audiophile network switch. The Lightning DS app is easy to... | |
| My New Magnepan 1.7i's sound dull and lifeless on the top end...why? OP, this will answer some questions: I’ve been a loyal Maggie owner for decades using 10s, 1.6s and 3.6s as my main speakers. I even bi-amped my 3.6s using a Pass Labs XVR -1 crossover. I moved on to YG Acoustics and couldn’t be happier. T... | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? Trinnov it’s a nice unit but very few people you 16 channels. If you’re only using seven or eight channels which is quite a bit, this unit would seem wasteful. Not sure all the excess bodes well for good sound. Would be nice if Home theate... | |
| VAC preamps - too expensive? “They need to modernize their functionality. They have a home theater knob on the front of the box and yet the remote can’t control input selection. I believe volume can be controlled by the Remote.” No, the volume from a HT processor/preamp can’... | |
| Which pair of speakers changed your Hifi life? I’ve been a Magnepan owner for over two decades (10’s, 1.6’s and 3.6’s). Then came my YG Acoustics Carmel 2’s mated to two REL 212/SE subs. I now experience much more detail, accuracy, speed and musicality that I’ve never experienced with Magnep... |
