| Anyone tried fiber into EtherRegen SFP? In case there's been misunderstanding here, currently I'm doing: router => RJ45 A-port => RJ45 B-port => Innuos Zenith RJ45 I'm curious about: router => FMC RJ45 => Fiber => ER SFP A-port => RJ45 B-port => Innu... | |
| SOtM dCBL-CAT8M - Is this the new reference in LAN cables? @lalitk . I accept that it's a case of digital horses for digital courses. However, even before the ER was added I felt the ISOCAT wasn't doing much. Interestingly, I asked SOtM's May Park what the component sequence should be if I additionally ... | |
| SOtM dCBL-CAT8M - Is this the new reference in LAN cables? Slightly off-topic, but I’m pretty happy with my DCBL-CAT7u between my EtherRegen and Zenith Mk3. I have a Wireworld Starlight between my Netgear router and ER. It certainly bests: swapping the Sotm and the Wireworld => Sotm most likely the... | |
| Entreq and Innuos? @ozzy I've just noticed your mention of the Russ Andrews unit. I have the RF Router mk2 on order, plus cabling. Can I ask if you're using the basic cabling, or the Technical Ground Weave? Also, have you connected the output cable to the mains e... | |
| Qobuz dropping rights to my favorites. A pox on their house (resubmit) I've noticed titles which drop off usually later reappear. I can think of some of Nick Cave's albums as recent examples of this. It's a pain, I admit, especially when the favourite status is not restored. | |
| Has anyone used the new Innuos 2.0 Sense music app? Compared it to Roon? I too believe Sense to be better than Roon. The only feature which tempts me back to Roon is DSP. We all need a tone control now and then. I did ask Innuos if they plan to add such a feature, and the reply from Head of Sales was thus: One of... | |
| Entreq and Innuos? @nyev Now that the Xmas break is over, I'm looking at this again. Russ Andrews offers a very affordable grounding solution. Details are here. I'll give it a go, starting off with the casework of my three Innuos and Hegel boxes. As far as I c... | |
| Entreq and Innuos? @nyev Is there any chance you could resurrect the chat with Nuno and ask him how the Phoenix could be grounded? | |
| Entreq and Innuos? @nyev I have my Zenith and PhoenixUSB fed from my Isotek Sirius. The Sirius improves the sound for sure, but perhaps now a little too bright. Am I right in understanding that your system is better with the PhoenixUSB fed direct from the mains, whi... | |
| Mains sockets and star earth - can anyone explain? @riley804 Asking advice on earthing and powering an amplifier is surely the whole point of a forum. If such a request upsets you so much, best not to scan forums. | |
| Mains sockets and star earth - can anyone explain? Hi @dpop - many thanks for your explanation, and the time you put into it. It certain beats the following DM I received from @riley804 do you have google ? if you google your title, you will find your info that you are looking for. | |
| Innuos Pulsar - Some Interesting Info for Innuos Owners Wish I'd waited. I never listen to the ripped CDs on my Zenith | |
| Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive? @fsonicsmith The trouble with the expensive watch analogy is that they require regular expensive servicing. When I sold my 20 year old Omega recently I had spent more on servicing than on the original purchase. Hi-fi can require maintenance,... | |
| Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive? Can't comment on the high-end prices, but I'm staggered by the inflation in prices over the past 2 or 3 years. Admittedly, COVID, supply-chain issues and Brexit (here in the UK) have been disrupters, but looking at reviews only 3 years old indica... | |
| Hegel H390 power cable I originally had my new H390 plugged into my 20 year old Isotek Multiway. Until, that was, I started experiencing minor cut-outs. The display went black, and knobs and remote were unresponsive. The music was still playing though. Hegel told me... |
