| Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC A lot of used Musetecs have shown up on the usual websites, in the past couple of months, if anybody is still curious to try one. I was quoted $1750 on a used one, if anybody wants an idea on pricing. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? On the topic of Grimm and DAC pairings…pairing the Grimm with an nos R2R makes for a radically different (and in my mind more natural and engaging) sound. Grimm and totaldac? Home run. I would not however be scared to pair the Grimm with DACs tha... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Have fun listening to the different streamers in your system. It’s nice to see someone put their money where their mouth is and actually get first-hand listening impressions, at home in a familiar system, rather than armchair quarterback based on ... | |
| Graham LS5/5: considered impressions after three months of ownership... Thanks for the impressions. Maybe you can touch on room placement. I understand these are “free space” speakers and need a fair amount of space to breathe? | |
| Anybody try the new Heaven 11 Billie Mk 2? The essential points have already been well made. @ghasley ’s point is spot on. The SEC is publicly going after social media influencer investment “advisors” for their pump and dump schemes…as someone who works in that space, I am continually shoc... | |
| Considering A New Streaming DAC (Pick 1 of 4) Depends on your goals obviously, but for my taste I’d go for either the Weiss or the Tambaqui in that system. At the risk of generalizing a bit re Pass and AN, for balance I’d want the most transparent and high res sources, to balance out the pers... | |
| Wolf Von Langa SON (TAS 2022 PofY) and Gestalt Audio - my experience & review FYI. Good write-up on these on Positive Feedback. Seems like a well-balanced take, recognizing that every speaker has its compromises. | |
| Curious to know your streaming and dac set up and the best recommended streamer under $15k I like the nagra tube DAC being fed AES from the Grimm MU1. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley Didn't mean to create confusion, nor did I want to imply that you were in any way affiliated with that advertisement. You are clearly not. I'm not sure I even saw you post, before I posted. In terms of pricing, a dealer would know best t... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Lo and behold, a used Grimm shows up on the other website. Folks are free to price things how they like, and folks are free to negotiate as they see fit, but I will say $9.5k for a used Grimm is a bold ask. You can buy one new with full warranty f... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Reading about hifi is like watching a travel show. Occasionally entertaining but nothing like the real experience. Barely an experience at all really. And thinking you know Italy when you’ve been to a couple cities in Italy, when each and every pl... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley I expect I am not alone in thinking you one of the “best” assets on this forum, always appreciate your contributions and perspective. OP - I will at some point PM you some names that should help you home demo the Grimm, ultimately it ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? A couple observations here. It’s easy to get a home demo, look at Grimm’s website for the dealer list, a few will simply ship you the unit for trial if you are seriously interested and you can hear it yourself. Highly recommended approach… 1. I h... | |
| Meitner MA-3 - direct or with preamp? Preamp. It’s a pretty darn good digital volume control but an above average preamp should beat it out. Same with the internal streamer (a quality separate is unsurprisingly better). Nothing unique to Meitner, in my experience this is typically tru... | |
| DAC recommendations If you want a clear and natural sounding DAC without breaking the bank, consider the latest DACs from Mytek. The Liberty II and the forthcoming next model up (not sure if it’s out yet). In the past their DACs were criticized for leaning analytical... |
