| 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... | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? @charles1dad . Roon is more fully featured, but Sense is simpler and more than enough for me. At least Sense is free, and enabling the Roon trial is also easy. Give it a few months for it all to settle before trying it though. | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? Hi @charles1dad Good questions. I bought the Zenith Mk3 a few months ago, but effectively don't use the internal hard drive. 99% of my listening is new stuff, so I stream Qobuz. It's also the case that many of my CDs have since been remastere... | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? @zufan - it's a good point regarding the other luxuries. I partly funded my system by selling my Omega after I realised I'd spend more servicing it than I had on buying it 15 years ago. Think of those who might spend 50k on a Porsche, then on... | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? I've told no-one, despite being repeatedly asked by: my wife, my brother, friends etc Some prices can easily be researched. Any fool can google the current price of a 3-way ATC speaker (SCM40). But no way am I telling anyone I spent £1500 on a... |
