New Accuphase Amplifier Experience
@donquichotte  Consider HIJIRI SM2R-L "SOUND MATTER" Power Cord at nearly half the price of TAKUMI. Under $1K, check out Zavfino or Audio Envy.

@jfrmusic  I own E-650 and using a Hijiri "TAKUMI" Maestro Power Cord.   
New Accuphase Amplifier Experience
You nailed the Accuphase sound! The upstream components are equally important and you have certainly chosen wisely with N20 and MSB. I can easily see this beautiful system as your end game. Enjoy!  PS: I am using aftermarket power cord and it com... 
Very faint hiss from tweeter
IME, a system with tube electronics likely produce a faint hiss; which is normal. As long as the hiss noise doesn’t intrude or increases as you raise the volume or audible from your listening chair, you got nothing to worry. If it bothers you, the...

Phono pre amp recommendations? - upgrading from ICON AUDIO PS1 MK II
@j-wall  Appreciate the great insight on Allnic phono. I guess, there is going to be some trade-off between tube vs ss phono’s. Based on what you said, Allnic phono is appears to be in line with my personal preferences.   
Phono pre amp recommendations? - upgrading from ICON AUDIO PS1 MK II
@j-wall OP is looking for phono with a warm sound…would you say Allnic phono’s especially H-5500 has a warm sound and not neutral sounding like ARC. Did you do any tube rolling or stock tubes are good enough. I got my eye on H-5500, hopefully a ... 
Importance of clocking
“I was merely pointing out that in our hobby the clock accuracy is not the most critical parameter” @greg_f  I believe accuracy, short-term stability and phase noise performance are equally important in a clock for optimal sound quality.    
Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions
@tony1954 I made my recommendation based on your budget and latest specs. There is a used N150 on USAM for $2100. Keep an eye out and you will find a bargain in BC.  https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/650108143-aurender-n150-streamer-silver/... 
Eversolo or Aurender: Options and Opinions
I would consider Aurender N150 and call it a day. N100 is now discontinued and dated in terms of SQ improvements offered in latest generation of Aurender streamers.   
Importance of clocking
“On my logic, the accuracy of the clock in the ethernet domain is irrelevant to sound quality” @nigeltheflash Acording to your logic, if accuracy of the clock in the Ethernet domain is irrelevant then why some of these switch manufacturers (I c... 
Garrard 301 - Project
Update: Herbie’s Matt is here. I am impressed by high quality finish and quick delivery. And 295mm turned out to be perfect size (pics posted on my virtual system).   
Aurender Now Roon Ready
@wsrrsw I should’ve known better but then I thought you may have taken the plunge :-) I am in no hurry to test Roon with Aurender as I prefer Conductor App, both in functionality and sound quality over my ROON. I read other day that Roon now ha... 
Aurender Now Roon Ready
@wsrrsw  Good to know. What are you using for Roon Core with Autender? Please post your impressions on Roon vs Conductor once you had a chance to A/B. Thank you!   
Importance of clocking
@antigrunge2  Isolating Ethernet is not an option for me. My DAC is optimized to accept digital stream over Ethernet. I am streaming local and cloud based files from Aurender N30SA to Merging Technologies DAC.   I believe severing Ethernet conne...
