| Fee for home audition @svenjosh If you really want to hear MU1, call every single dealer here and ask for home demo. Go with a dealer who offers in-home demo with only shipping out of your pocket. | |
| Fee for home audition My first question is, what 5% equates to in $$$$? For me 5% fee is a non-starter. Now if you are dealing with out of state dealer for home demo, they are likely to ask for deposit and expect you to pay shipping both ways. What brand of streamer yo... | |
| WireWorld Chroma ethernet cable If you believe in all the marketing hype around WireWorld cables then try one…I tried Starlight 8 Twinax Ethernet Cable in my system. And it was an absolute crap (sorry). IMO, there are much better cables available now that excels in sound and bui... | |

| One of the great things about Vinyl “One of the great things about Vinyl Is I find myself listening to recordings all the way through. Rarely do that with CD’s and/or streaming” That’s your prerogative but it does not mean that CD / Streaming is any less gratifying. Maybe your CD /... | |
| CD TRANSPORT THAT MAKES AN AUDIBLE DIFFERENCE Another vote for Jay’s and Project Transports. Anyone using an external DAC, these two players should be their #1 and #2 consideration. Please IGNORE the bits are bits posters. | |

| Optical USB drive for ripping I do not know which drives you’re referring to but my Aurender ACS100 rips cd layer of my SACD’s without any issues. If you’re concerned about ‘quality of rips’ then why not use Melco D100. For absolute zero compression, I recommend .wav format fo... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley @nyev While I appreciate your posts, but I’m afraid you’re not going to change the closed-off mentality of folks like @malibu457. Most people know it is the provenance of a file that is of utmost importance over a particular format. The... | |
| Shipping a turntable with plinth from England to USA Pay extra for split packaging and use DHL. When it comes to International shipping, DHL is the best. I have used them from China, Japan, Germany and England, two days flat to my door in Texas. FedEx and UPS - your package is going to sit in custo... | |

| Ripping CD's to hard drive “what type of CD drive is necessary/sufficient” The one that is designed to rip CD’s. As suggested above, connect a Vault 2 via SPDIF (digital coax) cable into your Integrated DAC input. Once you finish ripping your CD’s sit back and enjoy your r... | |
| Ripping CD's to hard drive @cjlundberg My suggestion would be to pick up a used Bluesound Vault 2 which will serve as CD ripper, storage and streamer/DAC. One box, that does it all. And choose .wav format to rip your CD’s. How many CD’s are you looking to rip? Vault has 2... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @arafiq I no longer own ENO streaming package, so I have not compared the LINKUP with ENO Ag LAN. Are you able to eliminate router in your configuration? Network socket in media room >> LinkUp Cable >> Eno filter >> Eno stream... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @arafiq I found LINKUP cable to be more balanced, open and detailed over Supra. In my system, I couldn’t go back to Supra after listening to LINKUP :-) |
